Femace EMPLOYEES IN THEINTERNAL REv- eNUE BugEAU.—It should be said in connection with the statement that Col. Douglass, Com- missioner of Internal Revenue, declined to as- sign to duty in his bureau several young ladies who had passed the civil service board, that he did so, not because he is opposed tothe em- ployment of women as clerks, but for the rea- son that he desired experienced book-keepers for the existing vacancies, and especially per- sons thoroughly familiar with the revenue aye tem, the various rulings and decisions of the different commissioners, &c. He does not doubt the general capacity of women w fill clerkships, but believes erable experience is neces- sary before they can satisfactorily discharge the duties of such positions as are referred to. He now has in his office sixteen female clerks, whe receive from #1,200 te $1,600 each per vear. Considering the whole number of female clerks employed, the propo who have been gromoted to male desks is greater in his bureau than in any Other under the govern- ment. ores 02> —__ Tue WEEKLY STAg, now ready, contains late and sull dispatches trom the lava beds; opening proceedings of the Disirict Legislature and message of Goveruor Cooke; the fashions tor May by Jennie June; ‘the auction tale of desks, &c., at the Capitol; society notes; latest and best tales, poems, sretches and fushion items; together with interesting local news, Washington news and gossip, agri- cultural items, household receipts, &e.. &e- Terms: One dollar anda half per aunam, in cupies ave cents, in wrappers, m: ready for A DIFFERENCE AMONG THE Docrors.—The faculty of the University of Kentucky, it ap- pears, have vetoed the selection of ex-Presideut Andrew Jobnson as commenecment orator, while the students have entered into a solemn vow to listen to no one else, This Afterneon’s Dispatches.

The last two were las: seea running in the direction of the center of the !uva beds, right into the den of the savages. Sunday might the Modocs had a large fire, dancing around it some time. Donali MeKay and his Warm Spring Indians in (he fight were of little assistance, as our troops were so demoralized that they fired on them by mistake, compelling them to retreat. fhe bodies of our dead and wounded were not ic- covered till Sunday moruing. Most of the mules have the epizootic. The Indians hal completely surrounded our troops, and when the men broke many ran right INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH. Four men were found around the body of Liea- tenant Wright, and eleven around Maj. Thom. and Lieutenant Howe. By all accounts it ap ars that they were attacked by thirty-uve Mfodocs, which is supposed to be the whole strength of the enemy. Our men lost fourtcen usand rounds of ammu- Bition, which the Indians probably have. ‘The Indians bad six fires burning on the night of the 2th, Eight of our killed were buried on the field. @HE ropes of Captain Thomas and Lieutenants Howe, Sherwood and Wright were taken to Yreka on the morning of the 29th, by Lieutenant Taylor.
