This, however, did not satisfy the Oregon settlers, and persistent efforts were made to get Captain Jack and the rest «f the tribe to move in the same direction. They, however, had paid occasional visits to the reservation, and finding that game was scarce, preierred the plentiful supply of fish from Lost River to taking the chances of living at the government expense. The troubles, how- ever, still, conttaued, and in the Fall of 1867 Mr. Lindsay Applegate induced Captain Jack and his band to accept the hospitality of Uncle Sam, and they consequently moved up to Yinox reservation. Tiey remained there during the montha of September, October, November, December and January, and then returned to their old quarters on Lost River. Captain Jack stated murderers and the immediate departure of the rest of the band for the reservation. Captain Jack did not make any direct reply to this communication, but declined to go to the reservation, a8 the coun- try was too cold and he wanted something to cat. The mission consequently resulted in nothing. HOW THE INDIANS BEFOGGED THE TROOPS.

Tleft Yreka early Tuesday morning, in company with a correspondent of a Sacramento paper, and, after a pleasant drive of about eighteen miles across Little Shasta Valley, we began the ascent of Goose Nest Mountain. This proved to be a rather tedious undertaking, as the incline was steep and the road heavy. The country through which we passed gave evidence of a volcanic origin, as some very abrupt strata of rock were visible in all directions, giving the appearance of a mass of rock suddenly uplifted by some violent action and hurled in every direction. After about twelve miles of ascent we arrived at the top of the range and continued along its summit for a short distance, passing through a considerable depth of sngw. The mountain was well timbered with im- Smense sugar, yellow and bastard pines; spruce, fir, redwood and mountain maple. During the ascent we passed several empty wagons returning frem the front, and also two United States cavalrymen, These gentlemen told us they were going down to escort some grain wagens, but Ihave since learned they were deserting. The descent on the north- ern side of the mountain was tolerably easy, as | the road was well graded; but in some places it | was very soft, and our wagon sunk in on several occasions up tothe axle trees, Descending the reek Flat. The first treaty was made with Ike, an Indian who claimed the right over that section of the country. Asecond treaty was made wiih Big Jack, and finally a third witn Captain Jack, Sconches and others, A consideration was paid the indians on each occasion. This party of In- dians, residing near Faircnild’s and Dorris’ ranche Mustered about thirteen braves, and were consid- ered to beiong to Captain Jack's band, though they denied his authority and rather looked up to an Indian blessed with the romantic name Shack Nasty Jim. I allude especially te this band, as I shall have occasion to give them promi- nent mention further on. Towards the Fall of last year Mr. Odincal, the present Indian Commis- sioner, annoyed by the perpetual complaints of Or- egon settlers, determined toremove the Modoc Indiams to Yinax reservation. A combined move- | ment was consequently made on Thanksgiving Day, last November. A yarty of soldiers [rom Fort Kla- math, under the command of Major Jackson, and accompanied by Mr. 1 Applegate, the son of the late Indian Commissioner, visited Captain Jack's | party; and simultaneousty a party ef Ureron set- tlers, well armed, and under the command of Mr. liver Applegate, went to the camp of the party, | under the leadership of Cyrly-Headed Doctor, THE FIRST FIGHTING. A discussion ensued between the troops and pare tain Jack's band, as the latter refused to leave their present quarters, which ended tn a tight, and both parties elaim that the other fired first. In this tight two ludians were killed and several soldiers killed and wounded, In the meantime the settlers had nearly prevailed on the Curly-Headed Doctor's baud to §° to the reservation, as they stated that Cap. tatn Jack's party had surrendered; but hearing the firing on the other side o/ tne river, thy refused to cidental discharge of Shack Nasty’s revolver, General Gillem, colonel of the First cavalry, who is now in command, arrived at Van Bremer’s yes- terday and visited this camp to-day, en route for Dorris’ and Lost River. At the latter piace he will relieve Major Wheaton, who has been in command up to the present. It is very hard to say what is the programme ar- ranged, but I do not belicve anything will be done prior to the arrival of the Peace Commission. There 13 no doubt that should the peace propositions fail it will cost hundreds of lives to remove Vaptain Jack's party out of their present stronghold, as they are the best fighting Indians ever known in this section of the country, and they have posses- sion of a natural fortification, nearly impossible to storm. They have plenty of provisions, a8 they have supplied themselves liberally trom the cattie belonging the surrounding settlers. CAPTAIN JACK OUT OF POWDER. It is reported, however, that Captain Jack is badly in want of powder, but as he has oifered $500 for 100 pounds of that precious composition he will probably be supplica, as there are always plenty of enterprising traders who risk anything in pursuit of the almighty dollar, The Caliiernia settlers re+ siding in the neighborhood appear to have a toler- ably good opinion of Captain Jack and his band, and it was through their influence that he paid his short visit to the Yinax reservation. They also state that Captain Jack would have remained there if he had been treated properly, but was actually driven forth by actual want. They also state that although Captain Jack's party have been on Lost River ever since February, 186%, and pro- viding for themselves, that funds for provisions and ciothes fer their use have been regularly drawn by the Indian agent in charge of the Yinax haps an equal number will be found in the East. No. 103 represents ‘The Ghetto, Rome,” by Harry Fenn. A series of wide and massive arches form a shadowy vista through which a glimpse of the pure blue sky is occasonally seen.

Tuk interminable question of the authorship of Junius is revived by a writer in the London Times, who brings forward the assertion of the late Lord Aberdeen that Pitt told him he kaew who wrote the letters of Junius, and that it was not Sir Philip Francis. He added that Francis used to do all he could to foster the belief in his own authorship. When proofs were once adduced in his presence he listened with evident pleasure and exclaimed, in a theatrical tone, “God! if men force laurels on my head ['ll wear them!” IN THE “Literary Life of Wiiliam Harness” that genial writer tells of a tutor to Hope’s sons, the author of “Anastasius,” whom he one day found pacing up and down the room in great agitation of mind. “Is there anything the matter?” in- quired Mr, Harness, anxiously. replied, “I should think there was!
