The following is a true copy of the last will and testament of Charlés Louis Bonaparte, ‘his late Majesty Napoleon II, under which “letters of administration are now applied for . after legal registry. THE PROPERTY AND DEBTS. The estate of the deceased is sworn under -one hundred and twenty thousand pounds ster- ding, and the gross sum is subject to claims ‘which will reduce it by half the amount. THE WILL. “The legal instrument reads thus :—This is my will. Icommend my son and my wife to the high authorities of the State, to the ‘people and army. The Empress Eugénie possesses all the qualities requisite for capably <conducting the regency, and my son displays a@ disposition and judgment which will ender him worthy of his high destinies. Let him never forget the motto of the head vof our family, “Everything for the French people.’” Let him fix on his mind the writ- ings of the prisoner of St. Helena; let him study the Emperor’s deeds and correspond- ence; and, finally, let him remember, when circumstances permit, that the cause of the peoples is the cause of France. Power is a heavy burden, because one cannot always do vall the good one could wish, and because con- + emporaries seldom render justice, so that, in order to fulfil one’s mission, one must have faith in’ and conscientiously appreciate his duty. It is necessary to consider that from heaven above those whom you have loved re- gard and protect you. It is the soul of my illustrious uncle that has always inspired and sustained me. The like will apply to my son, for he will always be worthy of his name. Tleave to the Empress all my private prop- erty. Iwish atthe majority of my son she shall live at the Elysée and Biarritz, I trust that my memory will be dear to her, and that after my death she will forget whatever un- ‘bappiness I may have caused her. With regard to my son, let him keep asa @elisman the seal I wore attached to my watch, and which comes from my mother. Let him carefully preserve everything that comes to me from the Emperor my uncle, and let him be convinced that my heart and my soul re- main with him. Imake no mention of my faithful servants. Jam convinced that the Empress and my son ‘will never abandon them. + I ghall die in the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman religion, which my son will always honor by his piety. Done and signed with my hand, at the Palace of the Tuileries, 24th of April, in the year eighteen hundred and sixty- NAPOLEON. . FRANCE.

The meeting wiil last three days. 80 many paths known only to themselves, As a sample of their treachery and cunning may not be amiss I will state that a portion of Batteries A and K, Fourth artillery, and Company E, Twelfth in- fantry, finding themselves in danger of being out- flanked, took shelter in a hollow spot, affording a Partial cover. No sooner had they done so than the Indians, who knew and commanded every egress from the cavity at that point, numbering twenty-one warriors, detached seven of their num- ber on one side, fourteen remaining on the other, and then opened A CROSS FIRE on the poor fellows, who could not show head or hand without certainly being struck. Very few es- caped injury, The rest were either killed or wounded, It is impossible to ascertain the number of Mo- docs killed and wounded, Yesterday Captain McKay reported that the Warm Spring Indians haa taken four scalps. This may be the whole or it May be onlya portion of the killed, the Modocs being very careful to destroy, as far as possible, all traces of their casualties, carrying their wounded into caves and burying the dead bodies. Their wounded are supposed to be HIDDEN IN CAVES, but few of them have been seen so far. Justice to the memory of the gallant dead compels the record of the following ‘WELL AUTHENTICATED FACTS. When Captain Thomas found himself and his men surrounded by his vindictive toe, true to his nature as a soldier, he sought to cheer the soldiers on to the bitter end, and obtain, if possible, life for life, and to sell their lives dearly, saying, “Men we are surrounded; we must fight and die like men and soldiers.” CAPTAIN THOMAS’ DEATH. In his noble effort to sustain the courage of his small command, ne was ably Seconded by Lieu- tenants Howe and Wright, After receiving a mortal wound he buried his gold watch and chain among the rocks, and emptied his revolver among the enemy before dying. If living he would also write in terms of well-deserved praise of TRE CONDUCT, OF LIBUTENANT HARRIS, who was Similarly situated. Captain Thomas, with a portion of his battery, K, Fourth artillery, set an example of bravery and determination to his men, uttering some such sentiments as those already quoted; not that it required such expres- sions to stimulate the men to deeds of bravery, when every man would willingly have followed either officer wherever they chose to lead, yet they showed the mutual confidence existing between them. SINCE THEY WERE TO PALL it isa pity it had not been when opposed to wor- thier foes. Yet it is a mournful consolation that each, Captain Thomas and Lieutenants Howe and Wright, the sons of soldiers, met a sol dier’s death in the defence of the government and laws of the country. Of the men killed or wounded, it is perhaps sufficient to say they showed their bravery with their blood—the former with their lives, the latter in total or partial disability, THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, April 29, 1873, The exciting topic of conversation in Washing- ton to-day was the news from the Modoc war. General Sherman expected General Schofield would send an official despatch, but at midnight he jyhaa received no other information than came as press despatches. The difference in time between this point and San Francisco, the General thought, would have given the Commander of tle Military Division of the Pacific an opportunity to confirm the despatches received by the courier re- ported to have arrived at Yreka this morning. When General Schofield telegraphed yesterday that the latest news from Gefferal Gitlem was that the cavalry thas dismounted on account of the epi- zooty, and that Captain Mendenhall, of the Fourth artillery, mounted as cavairy, would rein- force General Gillem, when the fight would be re- newed. He confidently expected that the Modoc campaign would be speedily brought to an end. With all the circumstantial reports of a most dis- astrous defeat to the reconnoitring party under Captain Thomas, he still hoped that favorable news would come of a general engagement; but the detatis ap to a late hour only confirm what was briefly announced by the report of this morming’s courier. CAPTAIN THOMAS was son of General Lorenzo Thomas, formerly Adjutant General of the Army, and whom President Johnson designated te act as Secretary of War ad interim during the misunderstanding between himself and Secretary Stanton. He was for some time stationed at Fort Washington, ten miles below this city, His popularity and general acquaintances here tavested the news of his death and his gallant comrades, with more than ordinartly interest. THE GREAT MYSTERY among War Department officials is how the re« ported handf® of red skins are so well prowgied with ammunition and the latest implements of wartaw. “tn no engagement during the war,” says Sher- man, ‘was there such @ loss for the numbers en- gaged, Indeed, at one time had there beem the number killed and wounded on our side that is reported in the despatches from Yreka it would have peen put down as quite @ battle, ‘The Modocs have chosen @ far mere dificult, youn- try to battle in than (\* Seminoles ever had in the everglades of Florida, an@ WW It is to end I cannot now tell. They are certainfy’ s20' without allies, whether Indians or whites it makes 20 difference ; “the dificulty to be overcome is still #ke ame, and whatever the victory may cost it must be a@Jeved, It may become A QUESTION OF STRATEGY, but General Schofela knows best, Advice cannot change the topography of the country in which the Indians are invrencned, and if with the three arms of the service—artillery, cavalry and infantry—this handful of savages cannot ve exterminated, ouncils of war now will not avail.” From another prominent army ofticer it is learned that every preparation is being made for any emergency that may arise in that section of the country, Nearly one-fourth of the army is concentrated in Texas. A very large body of the troops ts in Arizona and New Mexico, and at this season of the year it is dangerous to remove them. A PROBLEM is presented to the War Department, which puzzles the conservators of peace. The success of the Modoes over the army of the Great Father, which the Peace Commissioners have endeavored to im- press upon the Indians as omnipotent, old army officers say is the precursor of an irrepressible con- ict as well defined as that which preceded the late civil war, SENSATION IN SALT LAKE CITY. Sar LAKE City, Utah, April 29, 1873, The despatch regarding the Modoc massacre creates profound sensation in this city, The peace policy is vehemently denounced. OREGON INDIANS IN THE FIELD. r) Fourteen Hundred Indian Warriors Encamped at White Bluffs and Intrenching—The Spokanes Threatening Settlers, “SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 1873, A despatch from Portland, Oregon, to-night, states that 1,400 Indian warriors are camped at White Bluffs, Yakuna River, above Walla Walla, and are putting up breastworks. The settlers are greatly alarmed, The Indians are travelling about painted, aad warn the whites to leave the country. The Spokane Indians are ‘threatening, and are also warning the settlers to leave, Massa- cres like those by the Modoes are feared, THE HERALD'S ‘MAMMOTH ISSUES. {From the Oregonian, April 15.] The New York HeRaup of March 30 was a won- der of journalism; 1t was a quadruple sheet, with supplement, and contained 108 columns, sixty- seven of which were filled with advertisements, As an illustration of the HERALD’s enormous busi- ness this is most astounding.
