Xand F troops, of tho Firat Cavalry, mado a chargo from thia placo about noon, and went into tho slrong- Lold under o dendly fire. Tlrst Bergoant Goo. W. Loo captured tho colors of Capt. Jack. It was o large mink-skin with tho sage-hon'a tall- fonthor, Ho carried it into camp with duo re- speat for such an artiolo. The shells wero rapldly dropped during the charge, and our mon cscapod from boing wounded miraculously. The Modocs broko and loft tho bods, going to the south and in tho ronr of our troops. About noon Eugono ‘Hovoy wont out with horsos for tho purposo of carrying off the wounded. He had passed the bay of water that runs out whoro tho murdering was done, when Lo was fired upon and shot four timos, and his horso shot out from boneath him. Ho droppod dead, and was scalped, noarly cut in two, nnd lhemmored to @ jolly. Compnnies K and F camo in this evening, and are to bo mounted and start out in pursuit. The supposition is that thoy have gono to tho Infornal Cavern, near Pit River. He says holnsn house therosud iwill recelve thom. Thoy are badly whipped and will leave the coun- try. All has boon quiet sinoe 4 p. m. Tho men are in good spirits and aro walting for * Boots and Baddles.” Tois will prolong the war all summer, and ‘moro troops will bo wauted. Sorgt. Gilmer, of K Troop, deserves groat credit for hia bravery in making charges. J. 0. P1zncE. [New York Herald Special.) My dispatols of this morning stating tho sup- posed death of Eugono Hovoy, betwoon this camp and Col. Groon's line, has proved to bo only too trne. As soon as Sam Watson, who was in company with Mr., Hovey, rolurned to our camp ot tho southwost cornor of Tulo Lake, o dispatch was seut by tho signol oficer to Col, Green stating this fact, Soon after a dispatch wan rocoived from Col. Groon to Maj. Trimble ordoring him to post Lis non in tho most gdvan- tngoous position, This was immedistoly done, and- arms wore issucd to the citizons, also to twonty ~ Warm Bpring Tn- dions, who lave arrived here sinco Donald MoKay joined Col. Mason's commiand on the 14th. After tho Mojor hind posted the com- maud, your correspondent took o position about 250 yards in advance of tho picket lino in a ledgo of rocks, and waitod for the sppronch of tho Mo- docs, or ordors from Daj. Trimblo. Aftor ro- maining in tho rooks an hour and a knilf, an or- dorly from the flag station visited tho differont posts, and told us that tho cavalry woro coming in on foot aud not to mistake them for Indians, In about ono hour thereattor Gen,Gillem and his aid, Liout. Jos. Rocluwell, camo in sight, and we returned with them to camp, Boon aftor, troops Kand I appoared in sight, boaring with them tho modicine flag whioh has waved in front of Capt. Jack’s stronghold sinco his eutry into the Lava-Bed, and the scalp of Bcarfaced Charley, who was found wounded in the cave, a8 wasalso squaw, who waa captured and turned over to the Warm Spring Indisns. Our sido has now fivo scalps in the fight, The Indians have only thesoalp of tho boy Hovoy, killed thls morning. From officors who camo in with tho cavalry this morning, we hear that the cnomy have beon driven from thoeir stronghold. The Lava-Bed is ours, During tho aftornoon wo could see smoko from the south of the Lava-Bed,indicativg plainly that tho Modocs wero traveling toward Willow Bprings, on tho old emigrant road, or for the country botween Olear and Gooso Lakos, The cavalry will start for the country east of tho old" emigrant rond from Oregon for tho Sook coun- try, east of Tule Lake, some timo this ovening. T will accompany tho command on this scout. The threo days' fight rosults in o total of ten wounded and five killed. Doth wings of tho troops aro in excolleut spirits, and anxious to pursuo thoModoes. Part of them oooupy tho Lava-Bod now, which will provent suy Modocs from roturning.

ACCOUNT OF THE SIEGE. [To the Astociated Prees.) Lava Brep, April 16.—During tho night, the Modocs' position was the same thoy occupied ab sunset., Yasterday ovoning, a hotly-contestod fight took placo on Col. Greene's left. This morning, tho Iudions endenvored to gat to tho Iake for wator, but our troops succaeded in keep- ing them away. A dispateh was recolvod from Mason's camp, 7 o'clock this morning, saying that some Modocs Dbad passod ous on his loft, and were on his flank and roar durlng the night, Tho mortars, under command of Maj, Thomns, kopt up a fire on the Modoo camp, which very much aunoyed the Indians, who could bo Loard yelling and shout- ing ot an awful rato, At 2 o'clook this morning the traops under Col. Greens wero ordored to move forward from tho position thoy held dur- fng tho night. Ths wholo lino started with o cheor, and boforo 10 in tho morning bad roached tho top of tho vidgo next to Jaol's camp, which Dnd been desertod to-day, Whou our mon galu- od this position cheors could bo hoard along the whole lino, Orders wore then givon to sweop the Lava Bed, A dispaich was sent to slgnal Uapt, Bernard, ordoring him, in caso tho Modocs hod got out on Col, Magon's left to pursue them im- modiately with cavalry, and give them no reat. At 10 o'clack, our troops have gained con- sldorablo ground, and tho firiug is Locoming moro fraquent. The genoral improsulon 1s (hat the Lave Bod i owrs, Orders have boon givon givon for Ool, Mason to move hio right forward rapldly, and possibly join Col. Greone's loft. This will cut the Modoes off, From 10 to 12 o’clock thore waa coneiderablo . T ing shots, Thoy will probably hold tho low rocka for cover until morning.

Only part of tho Modocs could have got out on Mason's loft, 88 the Indiang can bo heard in tho vicinlly of Jack's cavo, Tho morlars, which have ceased ninco dnylight, Lave boon ordored to nnow position, within 800 yavds of tho cnve, and near Wator Tako. About 12 o'clock Col. Groon and Mason's commands offccted o junctlon, which entiroly outs tho Modoes from the waler. Aftor this movomont was offoctod, occasionsl firing was hoard ot differont parts of tho cave, Ity decided not to push our men on the Indisn stronghold, ns wo might loso many without Xilling an Indinn, If we could keep them from tho wator they would havo to leave thoir posi- tion. We could not find them in & strongor ono. Our Jossos in two deys’ fight have boon fivo killed and ten wounded.” Tho only officer yot wounded ia Licut, Tgon, haviog a flosh wound in theloft log. Ho is dolng woll, Fivo Indinns are roportod killed. Of thoso wo hiavo some scalps. Nomo of *our killed or wounded havo yet fallen into tho hands of tho Indinus.- It is ovidont that if our men can hold their position on tho lako shoro, Mr. Modoo will bavo to loave or surrondor. A houvy firo of muskotry 18 going on now noar tho lako shoro, The Indians are evidently fighting for wator, Lvory ono who Las scon our troops i aotion sponks of thom in the highost torms, Heapawanreng Mopoo Exegpresny, (IAwme Boutn o Tury Laxe, April 16.—The day open- od warm aud still, but was ushored in by o roar of muskotry, snd occasional booming of howit- zevs, Col.

It wag hopod whon the lattor companies loft camp that tho Modocs would observe them, and, inan at- tempt to cut thom off, fall into the hands of tho cavalry. These movements wero faithfully ox- couted, and probably hurried a little on our side by tho escape of Long Jim, a Modoc, who was under guard a prisoner of war. At miduight ho lenpod past tho guard and escapod, though maony shots wero fired at him. At doylight we hod an irrogular fusilado on tho opposlito sido of the lavatbed, and we know that Col. Mason's forces or his skirmishoers wero on- gagod. At 0 wo hoard the boom of & howitzer and saw shells burating over Capt. Jack's camp. At this timo tho rocks were swarming with In- dians, snd tho firlog was rapid. Tho plan of ‘attle was from the north side. Col. Magon was in advance of his command on tho right of ‘Warm Spring, tho Indians on hisloft. From this sidos thoro was only the lake for tho Modoca to oscapo by. Liout. Greery was in camp in chargo of tho arms and sammunitions, Capt. Trimblo, First Artillory, with twenty mon, was lIoft in chargo of tho camp on thia eide. Col. Green, ot 7 o'glock a.m., united with Col, Perry's company In about an hour and a half after loaving camp tho ball opemed. Uapt. Millor, of Co. E., Tywolfth Infantry, commanding o batallion of bis own company, had tho exiremo right; noxt Capt. Throokmorton, of DBattery 1f, TFourth Artillery; Liout. Horrs, Battory I, Fourth Artillory; Capt. Egan, of Company.G, and Capt. Wright, of Compauy B, both of the Tivolfth Tn- fontry, the centre; and the cavalry ‘on tho ex- tromo loft. While marching slong tho lake shore, just at tho head of = long cave, about & mile and & half from Jack's camp, they encoun- tored the firat opposition, with straggling shots from tho bluff, at long range. The men de- ployed in open skirmish ordor, and advanced slowly under such cover a8 tho rocks afforded. Our right gorge openod on the bluff, from tho right baok of which came straggling - shots, while a fow ‘foll around us from tho left point. Our skirmishors crept up, supported hy roscrvas, until wo srrived within short range, when a savore volley was fired from the blufls, ovidently thero boing twonty-five or thirty In- dians posted there. The fire was hoavy.” After standing about fifteen minutos, the order to charge was given, and the mon sprang forward amid the most deafening yells from tho Modocs. Buch was the rapidity of tho onsiaught, and so unoxpected, tho troops wore on them ‘bofore thoy knew it, aud in s fow minutes wero masters of tho mituntion, and our bravo boys bohind {ho rocks rosting at their loisuro. Gen. Gillom had sont an ordor to Col. Mason to stir them up on his side, and ho lot into them with a ven- gonnee, distracting thoir attention matorially and ausieting our troops. Tho charge wes o gal- lnnt ono, Monnwhile we extricated our wound- ed, four in numbor. None woro killed. Capt. Egon and his mon fought galiantly ; so did all ongagoed. Oapt. Egan was wounded in the arm, but would not leave tho fleld, E. O'Connor, privato of Battory M, Fourth Artillory, was shot in tho log—n tlesh wound ; private J. Donloy, Battory K, Fourth Autillory, shotin tho forenrm; Corporal E, Kollisk, Battery K, Fourth Artillery, roceived o &calp wound; private Modlanus, of Compavy B, Trolfth Infantry, had his thigh crushed. P. MoManus, of McConnell's & NcManus, merchants, of Yroks, vontured within tho ad- vaneod 1ino held by Capt. Millor's men, who gal- Inutly carriod the bluff under ordors in such flno stylo, and was shat from tho high bluffs and loft on tho ground. The lines are 600 yards apart, and the ground uncovered. When tho mortors arrive the bluft will be ehelled, and he will Lo recoversd. It is nuppoand that he is shot through the hoel by the way his mule iy wounded, Throe shots woro fired ab them. At 3 p. m. the order was given to advanco the mortars. Maj, Thomes is in command. Licut. Cranston Howo, Fourth Artillery, Bergeant Ttamor, and nineteen men composed the party; 84 gallant & sot as ever handled guns. At hoif-past 4 the lino deployed down tho lako opposite Jaok'y ocamp, and crossod the intervening open spaco at double-quok without rocelving ashot. They ar now in roadiness to charge on the ‘bluffs when tho mortars lave done their worl, Tho mortars arrived on the ground, and took position. All quiet until 5:30, when & sudden’ and heavy volloy rolled along Mason's line, aud continued soveral minutos, No ono killed or wounded. The pack traln of Warm Bpring Indians has Just arrived with 17 mules and 160 horses. AL 5:10p, m. the firat shot was fired from the mortars, planting a shell fairin the Diuffa, A fow shella were thrown, going woll into that part of the lnva-bod, apparently dolng good worl, Our line mnow extends from under the bluffs, whore Jaok's oave is, up the lodge to tho eouth, for nomly amilo, The bluffs carried by Miller are now hold.

Maj. Thomas dropped sholls diroctly into 1, provoking frantla wav-whoops, hore was o sudden oxtinguishing of tho firo, An- otbor shell dropped in the ssmo locality, and waa followed by yolls of paln and dlsmay. 'The Modocs thon appearod and ohallonged tho sol- diors to como out and fight. Another sholl was {hio anpwor, and they wore driven back. 4 A, a—Afttor anothor fight, tho Modoca gavo up tho attempt to bronk through the linos, and rotirod. Beattoring shots woro firod at mou who attompted to advanoo. At 9 o'clock Col. Gillom's command moved forward from tho position gained on Tuesday, and soon occuplod tho ridge noxt to Jack's camp. Col, Mason thon moved right forward as rapldly s posaiblo, to form s junction with Gillom's loft, cutting tho Bodoos from tho Inke, and from their only wourco of waler supply. Tho junction was coffected at moon. At 2 p. m. tho mortars wero throwing sholls in oxcollout rango, Col. Greon foll back bohind the ledgo, nwaiting tho Modocs, should tho sholls drive thom out. Aftor firing they roplied through yolls, which wero froquont. On {ho fifth sholl thore camo n raking firo snd sheot of 1amo, A Biumu party O mon APILLY Uub of tha chinam and eame into tho lines amid o shower of bullots. Tho falling back was caused by the Modocs flanking and opening n eross firo. Col. BMillor, in attompting to form a junction with tho Warm Spring’ Indians, missod thom. As he in the gront chasm, the Modocs sprang up and ocut him off, with thirteon mon. Miller fortified himsolf, when thoy fought for their livos uutil the mor- tars openod. The Indians withstood tho firo until 4p, m. When tho sholls bogan falling in thelr midst, thoy broke cover, dashing across tho ledgs, Josing two mon and ono wounded. The line roformed and hold around the dodocs, Mason signnaled that tho BModocs on tho loft flank woro trying toget out. T:45,—Col.

At 30 tho Warm Spring Indiana roport thiroo more dead Modoos, making four to- dny. 9 p. m.~Tho terrible firo had just coated, when tho Modocs tried to brosk through to the Inke. The intention is to keop tholino to provgnt them from gotting walor, Thera will b moro sovore fighting botoro the worke are carried. It is almost impossible to oo tho Indians. McMauus was rocovord not in- jured, 1o having hid in the rocks when his mulo was shot. Costollo says the blaze of musketry firing along the lake shoro about the timeof his de- parture last night wag torriblo snd grand. Ho belioves the Modocs mado n strong offort to es capo by the Inko or to got wator, but were com- plotely routed. From tho appoatanco of the firing and tho length of its coutibuanco, thoe Indians wore cortainly dishentt- onod, Ifo watched them with n glass al long range ot differont timoy during tho dag's ight. Thoy woro running from ono point to another, with no apparent strategte move, scomingly bewildored by tho advauce of our forces.

Tho ship had not stiflicient coal on board at the timo of salling for o ship of hor class, Tho cosl was of inforior quality, of which sho coms sumed sovonty tons per day, thus gllvln hor loss thon thirtoon dnys’ supply when leaving port. Had all the clroumstances of the passage been, favorablo, this Tmnmyol conl would undoubt-" odly have carried tho ship and passeugers safoly to Now York ; but a passago across tho Atlantic in wintor without more or loss unfavorable weather is the excoption and not tho rulo. Fa- vorablo woathor daring tho wholo westorn poaseage In tho month of Maroh could not rensonably bo expocted, aud the contingoncios of a low rato of spood, resulting from hend winds aud foul woathor, ought to have beon provided for, Assuming tho position of tho vossel as statod by Capt, Williams to havo heon conoct tho courso stoorod should havo oarriod hor woll to thoe eastward of Sambro, had there boen no curront, Tho officer loft In chargo did not abey tho ordor given by Capt.

Whether or not suflicient allowance was mndo by Capt. Williama for tho ocwront in tho course ho steored does not scom to be & question of vital importanco; for it im very probable that tho Bamo orcor a8 to the spoed of tho ship and lacl of vigilance on tho part of tho officors who wero on duty which s too apparent, and the total negloct to obtain soundings or uso tho most or- Qinary procaution that ought to Lo usod in ap- Emnching tho coast, would have.ran her ashoro nd sho beon on the courso that Capt.

Wo lave undant _evidenco of the oxistenco of an off-shore our- rent, The error in calculating the ship's speod must have boon from incompetoney or carolossnoss in oplonlating on the part of thoso alfondivg to tho log. ‘Fho conduct of Capt. Williams iu loaving tho deck at midnight is condemuned sa imprudent, aud enlenlatod to creste an improssion in the minds of the oflicors on duty that thoy woro not go near land as to male oxtra vigilance impora- tive. At that time the Oaptain bolieved he was 48 milos from land, and it sooms to lhavo been oculpable rashness for him undor the circumstances to order the ship to bo run totvards land for throo hours, at her rate of spoed, without the precaution to guard against any possiblo arror in Lis celimation of his posi- tion.

But the roatest, and, 1 may eny, gurlmpu, the fatal orror i found in tho fact that tho load wasnover usod, slthough the ship was_in soundings for oight boura beforo sho struck. This is a nogleot of duty for which thorocan be positively no exouso, Bo acourately are the soundings laid’ down upon the chart, that had tho lond boon used at tho Ernpur intorvals, tho ship’s safety would havo oen_guarantoed; evon lnd the night boon one in which tho lights could not possibly havo boon seon. Itis truo that froquont use of tho loud might have delayod hor for a fow ‘hours in roaching purt, hut thore was nothing to be ained in the point of time in moking the port ofore daylight, or oven if thoro had boon, these fow hours' detention ought not to have boon al- fowed to woigh agninet tho safety of noarly 1,000 livos that wers imporiled, and mors than half of which had boon lost Dby noglect of this plainly manifost duty, From a careful review of all tho facts in tho caso, I feol compollod to stato that my boliof s, that the conduot of Capt.
