THE MODOts.

A Nebraska paper gipes an account
Of the arrival of the remnant of the
Modocs ut their then supposed new
home, an island In the South Platte,
two miles from Fort Mcpherson.
However, it has since been announced
that they are to be located in the III
dian Territory. Following is the ac-
count:
ARRIVAL AT THEIR NEW HOME.
On Wednesday morning last, OFT.
10Th, a special train containing the re-
manning members Of the once cele-
brated and lately notorious Modoc
tribe, and their military escort ar
rived at the depot, where q large
crowd, drawn hither to get q glimpse
ct the distinguished prisoners, assem-
bled. In this, they were disappointed,
ss extra precaution had been taken by
the military escort to keep them from
sight as much as possible. The shut
ters of tile car windows were closed,
and the only means of getting a sight
at the savages was through windows
Of the door around which soon gath
cred a number Of our citizens. They
remained at North Platte about one
hour when they were started for
THEIR DESTINATION,
which is an island situated in the
South Platte river, about two miles
from Fort Mcpherson. At Mcpherson
station the party was met by Gen. J..
J. Reynolds, the post commander, to
whom Capt. Hasbrouck turned over his
prisoners.
The escort consisted of Company G,
IL infantry, which company it will be
remembered, suffered so severely in
an engagement with the Modocs, and
q detachment Of Battery B, 4lh artil-
Iery, the whole under command of
Capt. lIasbrouck, assisted by Capt.
Hoge, 18th Infantry, and Lieuts.
Greenough and Smith. DR.. Tallow
and Ii. II. Fox. of the N. Y. Herald
also accompanied the party through.
During the trip down to Mcpherson
station, and through the kindness of
Capt. HaSbrouck, our reporter was
favored with a sight OF, and an inter-
view with the prisoners.
scARFACED CHARLEY.
"That IL the celebrated individual
there, remarked the Captain, pointing
to quiet looking. pleasant faced IN
dian, who was lying at full length
upon a seat. Upon approaching him
he appeared very reticent, but after a
little he seemed inclined to talk. He
Is a small man, and his color for an
Indian IS very bright. He speaks En-
glish very plainly and appears to be
quite intelligent.
Reporter-''C Charley how do You like
the prospect Of living in this country"
Charley-"Me like very well II there
Is plenty of game. N.Y. men want to
hunt and get poEies. The officers say
we be treated well if we are good.
All my men be good. No fight with
6iOuXs.n
In reply to an inquiry concerning
the war. he said he advised against 1t,
and he had nothing to do with killing
Of Candy. He deprecated this act IN
very strong terms, and laid the entire
blame upon Capt. Jack, Opposite
him sat
PRINCESS MARY AND MRS. JACK.
Capt. Jacks daughter and wife. Mrs.
Jack kept her head covered constantly, |
but enough Of her face was exposed TO
exhibit a mass of tar. Quite n num-
Der had their faces daubed with this
article, which is an indication of sor-
row for the loss of the tour that were
hung. Princess Mary Is q voluptuous
looking woman of perhaps eighteen
years, with long black wavy hair, and
. pair OF coal black swapping eyes,
which were lighted up frequently
while she was talking with our report
er, concerning her father. She is de-
Cidedly handsome, and is held in great |
respect by the remaining members Of
the tribe. She bitterly denounces the
government for hanging her father
and allowing the balance to so free.
Her conversation was conducted intel |
Iigently, and her manner was refined.

u a hard looking case, and though |
speaking English with fluency has
doggedly refused to hold any conver-
Sation since they left Oregon. He sat
ln a corner OF the car, and when APP
preached by Capt. HaSbrouCk and our
reporter, drew himself up and persist
emily refused to speak to either party.
His coumtenance exhibited a large
smount of rascality, and doubtless had
be good opportunity he would take
a peculiar pleasure in wreaking VEN
eenue upon his cOnquerors. Another
Important character pointed out was
