. RETRIBUTION CONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE. dhe murderers were left in their cells, with no other companion than the gloomy foreboding ‘and anticipation of the morrow. Old Scon- chin met his family without much visible emotion, but his children cried bitterly, and the squaws yelled as if the world was coming to an end. The chief did not betray any utward signs of agitation. He kissed hi little son repeatedly, and when just before re- | treat they were taken away, he laid down in his cell and rolled himself like a ball in his blankets. During the afternoon of yesterday a number of soldiers and citizens went out to seo MR. FIELDS’ PATENT DROP. tested and it worked like a charm, letting down the trap every time without fail. Some thirty or forty citizens were standing around the scaffold and they appeared highly inter- vested with the device of Mr. Field’s plan to lower the drop. The scouts were also loaf- ing around there and in the evening one of them came to me and asked me if I had anything I could give him to do. ‘This morning, shortly after daybreak, I took @ walk out to the scaffold, and found a num- ber of Indians, Klamths and others, scattered among the unwielding machine, with rather curious eyes. THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE EXECUTION ~were as follows: — Heapgvanrers, Fory Kramata, Oct. 3. 1873, Order 13, First—The execution of Captain Jack and Ahe others condemned Modoc Indian prisoners, mow in confinement at this post, will take place at Fort Klamath on Friday, the third day of October, 1873, between ten A.

Upon reaching the guard house the column will be halted, and receive the direction of the officers of the day. The wagon containing Captain Jack and the condemned Modocs will be placed in the -centre of the colamn—Company F, Thirty- first is infantry—which hereby detailed as a guard for the condemned, and will furnish any details required by the officer of the day from the Post guard house. The column will be marched to the grounds selected for the execution, passing west of the scaffold, and then be formed in the following order: — Light battery B. Fourth artillery, Company E.

The Post-Adjutant will report to the com- manding officer for detailed instructions at 9 .A. M. Siath—The officer-of-the-day will receive at -the scaffold further detailed instrucsions, and be notified by the undersigned, the precise moment at which the exeaution takes place, ‘Garncho and Slolux Spared from the Gallows by the President. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 1873, The President yesterday told 4 prominent omcial ‘that he had excepted Barncho and Slolux, two of ‘the condemned Modocs, from sentence of death and had commuted their sentence to imprison- ment for live at Alcatraz, the Military Prison in San Francisco Bay. His reason was because they were merely members of the band and not responsi« ble for the orders of their superiors, who, as chiefs, exercised control over them. Besides, it had been represented to him that these Indiang could not realiy be held responsible, as they were Mothing more than Captain Jack’s servants and were not parties to the plan to violate the flag of truce and murder General Canby and Dy, Thomas. The President said that he had issued the order nearly two weeks ago; but it might be pos. sible that it would not reach Fort Klamath in time to stay the execution. The announcement of the President's action was not oMelally promulgated ‘Botil today, and members of the Cabinet beard President remarked that he had purposely kept it | silent to prevent criticism, and did not want it published until the sentence of death had been carried into effect in the case of the other Modocs. The action of the President is not popular among the army officers on duty in Washington, who wonder that General Jefferson ©, Davis should have made the mistake of taking Captain Jack and his followers prisoners of war. If he had executed them on the spot he would not only have been justifiea by previous orders, but he would have been fully sustained by the War Department and have saved the govern- ment a large and useless expense, The President's exception in favor of Barncho and Slolux, there- fore, excites much comment. “If they were not guilty as principals,’ said one of General Sher- man’s staf, ‘they ought to be released; for if they | deserve imprisonment for life, they certainly de- Serve to suffer death.” ANOTHER INDIAN RAID. pee tsE aE Savages Attacking Cattle Ranches in Texas—Herders Killed and Wounded. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 1873, A report to General Sherman from Captain Wood, of the Twenty-fourth infantry, commanding al Fort Mctntosh, Texas, and da'ed September 10, says:—“On the 6th instant a party of Indians ap- peared among the sheep and stock ranches about forty miles trom here, on the San Antonio road, the ranches being from three to twelve miles apart along the road and off on either side of the road, They frst appeared about ten o’ciock A. M. at the ranch of Mr. Raymond Martin, wounding one of his herders, named Eleutorio Suarez, by an arrow wound in the eye and one in the leit cheek and a bullet in tne left thigh, The man says the Indians were Lipans, and when he escaped they had wounded another herder, who subsequently died. There were about forty, and they afterwards divided, He thinks he shot one Indian through the abdomen with his revolver, Magnus Suarez, a herder for Mr. Porfirio Berardez, was wounded through the wrist and breast with an arrow. He died on the 9th _ inst, Mariano Monsola, another herder, was also wounded. Four other herders are reported miss- ing. The Indians took off eighteen brood mares belonging to Pedro Cruz, and killed @ number of others belonging to him that wonld not drive gently. They also killed five or six brood mares belonging to Philip Villorail, also taking a mare and colt belonging to Mr. Rodrigues. Persons coming from the Nueces report thata party of Indians stole a number of horses on the 5th of September from near old Fort Ewall. This Was probably the same party that committed the depredation at the sheep ranches, THE BRUNOT TREATY WITH THE OROWS AND UTES, CHICAGO, Oct. 3, 1873, Thomas K. Cree, Secretary of the Board of In- dian Commissioners, passed through here to-day en route to Washington, having with him the trea- ties recently made by the Hon. Felix Brunot, Chairman of the Board of Indian Commissioners, with the Crow Indians, of Montana, and the Utes, of Colorado, by which the United States is ceded about 12,000,000 acres of mineral, farming and grazing lands. Mr. Cree regards the purchase from the Utes as the most important made tor many years, as he states it is immensely rich in gold, silver, copper, iron, lead and coal. The gold mines are already said to be yielding largely. Mr. Cree reports that both tribes mentioned are very iriendly to the whites and inclined to adopt habits of civilization. The Shoshones and Rannocks, of Wyoming and Idano, are also reported by Mr. Cree as progressing rapidly in civilization, OREEDMOOR, Good Shooting Yesterday by the Eighth, Twelfth and Seventy-Ninth Teams— Miscellaneous Shooting.

Italian Opera—“Faust.” The success of “Faust” last night at the New York Academy amply fulfilled the expectations raised in the minds of those who attended tts first representation in Brooklyn on the preceding even- ing. As we have already spoken of the princtpal features of interest in this performance of Gounod’s masterptece, it only remains to point out, in detail, some of the beauties that enriched it _ The vision of Marguerite, in the first act, that tempts the philosopher trom his allegiance to Heaven and places bim irrevocably in the power of the fiend, is one o! the prettiest effects that have been seen on the boards of the Academy tor many years. The lime light seems to fall on a figure of Carrara marble rather than on a living being. The calm purity and holiness of the village maiden, as she returns from church and passes through the mar, ket on her way home, are shown in every wordand action of Mme. Nilsson, in the second act, brief though her presence may be on the stage. The tearful story of her earliest love, a dear sister, Whom death snatched away from her, is told to Faustin the garden scene with touching expression. The ecstatic love breathed forth in the accents, “Senpre amar,” and the deep feeling that seems to thrill each heart string like the wind sighing on an “olian lyre, conveyed in the pas- flonate declaration ‘Senza te, io voglio morir.”’ were gems of the Diva’s impersonation in this scene. The fourth act is very much improved by placing the death of Valentine at the end. ‘The first scene of this act represents the exterior of the church instead of the interior, as we have been accustomed to see on the American stage. Marguerite can only reach the steps leading to the door of the church, as the taunting voice of the demon behind her recalls to her mind her position ag an outcast and seems to interpose an insuperable barrier between her desolation and the merciiul arms that Heaven stretches iorth to her. The same demoniac power draws her prey, gradually from the shrine of grace, until, suddenly turning around, the mock- ing face of the fiend meets her eye. The white arms are thrown up in agony, an expression of despair convulses the face, a short gasp and the form sinks on the stage, as a flower withering in the breath of a simoom. alone this scene would entitle Mme. Nilsson to the highest praise, and when united to her exquisite voice, which so readily re- onds to every pulsation of human passion, it sinks deep in the mind of every listener. The vil- lage congregation leave the church and find her lying insensible at the bottom of the steps. They Taise her, and, by their kind offices, restore her to consciousness. She breaks away irom them with & gesture of horror, as if her very touch were con- tamination, an agonizing despair is in her coun- tenance as she enters the home she has disgraced. This is the gem of Nilsson’s impersonation of Marguerite. Maurel sang the role of Valentine, and acted it, too, in a manner that placed him in the estimation of the audience a genuine favorite among the tists of Mr. Strakosch’s troupe. The interpolated aria, “Dio possente,” was deliciously rendered, and the death scene was impressive to a degree. The curtain feil on this scene as Gounod intended it should, for in the original score such directions are given. Nannetti has an imposing appearance in the réle of Mephistopheles, and sings the music with intelligence and effect, We have spoken betore of the faultless impersonations of Miss Cary ana Capoul. ‘“Lucrezia Borgia’ wili be repeated at the matinée to-day, Musical and Dramatic Notes. The fifth cat show at the London Crystal Palace is now open. Mr. J. M. Bellew gives two readings at Steinway Hall, one this afternoon and the other next Tues- day evening. M. Alexandre Dumas, in a letter to the Director of the Carl Theatre, at Vienna, respecting the “Femme de Ciaude,” now being played with some Success at that house, expresses his intention of not writing any more works lor the stage. Mr. Bellew gave a reading last evening at the Academy of Music, in Brooklyn. His programme contained selections varying in character, though not sufficient to permit the full expression of Mr. Bellew’s mimitic ability. The differences of humor were illustrated with readings trom “The Tich- borne Trial” (a supposititous scene), ‘Much Ado About Nothing” and Dickens’ “Tuggses at Rams- gate.” Mr. Bellew’s rendering of Thomas Davis’ poem, descriptive of the victory of the “Irish Brigade” at Fontenoy, was filled with the intense spirit of the plece, which it communicated to what had been a critical and almost cold audience, The sale by public auction of the scenery, ma- chinery and properties used in the spectacle of “Babil and Bijou,” at Covent Garden Theatre, took place the otner day in the arches of the Southwestern Railway.

When the garden scene was put up the air of “Spring, Gentle Spring,’ was hummed by several of the company who remembered that scene. After a little competition it went for 7 guineas. The octopus scene brought £7 10s., and the fortress scene @ simular amount, A valuable new cloth, the “Zoological Gardens,” painted by Hann for the spectacle, but not used, brought £9 10s, The paint- ing of this cloth cost, it is said, close upon £50, and the price it realized was below the value of the can vas. ILMA DE MURSKA. Some Account of Her Brilliant Career. New Yorks, Oct, 3, 1873. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— Sir—If any one among the eminent dramatic singers who have charmed European audiences of late years may be said to stand apart from her contemporaries it is certainly Mile. Ilma de In person, a8 in talent, both histrionic I, she 18 wholly original. Like the moon, so described by Percy Bysshe Sheley— pis wandering companioniess Among the stars that have a different tirth— she shines soiitarily in her sphere, having nothing in common with other artists except that genius which, Whatever may be the individual idiosyneracy of its possessor, can alone lead to distinction. The career of Mile. De Murska, though short, has been brilliant—a series, indeed, of genuine artistic triumphs, Hungarian by birth, her first successes were obtained in Germany, more especially at Vienna and Hamburg, musical cities par excellence, where to have wor general acceptance is already a passport to re- nown, Those who have witnessed her per- jormances at the Karnt’hor, in Vienna, for so many years one of the first operatic theatres of the world, must still be vividly impressed with the extraordinary sensation she created, She came forward ata time when anew prima donna was an absolute want. The stars of Rosa Csillag and ‘Thérése Tietjens had somewhat dimmed in reiul- gence. Both Csillag and Tietjens, too, had left the Austrian capital to seek “fresh woods and pastures new” in other countries; so that in the temporary operatic darkness Ima de Murska flashed tortha dazzling meteor, and, like Schubert's first trio, described by Schumann, set all controversy about the different claims of other competitors at rest. When she appeared it was no jonger a question whether Mile. was equal to Mile. ———, or whether Mile, was better than Mile. . It was at once and unreservedly admitted that lima de Murska was best of all. Like another Cesar, she came, she saw and she con- quered, though, unlike Cwsar, conquering, dulce su) ridens, by the weird attraction of her mien and the magical witchery of a voice which seemed to treat the vocal scale from one end to the other, from top to bottom, and vice versa, as a mere play- thing, or, if the expression may be allowed, a jeu de gammes. Such astonishing facility, in its peculiar way, had perhaps never been Known ince the time of the prima donna for whom Mozart composed the part of the “Queen of the Night’ in his immortal fairy opera, “Die Zauberfite,” which Beethoven heid to be of ail German lycic dramas, in a musical sense, the greatest; and in this very character of Astriatfamante Mile. de Murska ob- tained some of her earliest and most memorable successes. She sung the two great airs in the original Lor feat which for half a century no singer, with the exception of Anna Zerr, had done besore her, and roused every hearer to enthusiasm by her marvelously facile, correct and empliatic declamation of “Gil Angui d’Inferno.” As her repertory graduaily extended, the fame of Mile. de Murska travelled jar and wide; and every foreign impresario who ruled over a theatre of importance Was anxious to obtain her services. But these were not easy to secure. Mile. de Murska, in her business transactions no less than in the exercise of her art, was original. She seemed to care little about enlarging the sphere of her artistic activity, and with curious inditoy- enve rejected oiler offer irom the chief Briro- and voc As a piece of acting | DAY, OCTOBER 4, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. — ng pean theatres. Amidst her most drittiant triumphs she would suddenly disappear, and go none could say whither. She would, however, return just as suddenly and renew her successes— the public, de- lighted to welcome her hack, willingly overlooking her apparent eccentricities.’ The doice indeed, was from the first a marked characteristic of this gifted lady, whose apathy im regard to public applause was as noticeable as the Jacility with which she earned it. Nevertheless, as her fame increased, propositions from all sides became more frequent, numerous and pressing, until at length she was persuaded to accept the liberal terms proposed to ter by Mr. Mapleson. In 1565 Mile. de Murska went to London; and on tne 11th of May in that year. she made her début as the heroine of Donizetti's “Lucia di Lammermoor.” Her reception by a crowded and fashionable audience was in the highest degree enthusiastic. The scene of the contrast took every one by storm; but soon the impression created by this was surpassed in the scene of the madness, which raised an enthusiasm almost unprecedented in the remembrance of the oldest frequenters of the opera, In her second part, “Linda di Chamouni,” Mile, de Murska was just a8 mucn ex- tolled as in her first; and her third, Amina (‘La Sonnambula”) proved equally successful. The crowning achievement was her cousummately ar- tistic and dramatically effective execution of the songs allotted to the Queen of the Night,” to which reference has already been made, During her second season in London (1866) Mile. de Murska added “Dinorah”—that most exquisite of Meyer- beer’s creations—to her repertory, and ‘her ethereal impersonations of this character stamped her reputation indelibly, Tt is unnecessary to dwell further upon Mile. de Murska's London career. Enough that each char- acter she has assayed has strengthened the esti- mate of her artistic work. One of the most singu- larly original and wonderful performances ever witnessed was that which gave ¢clat to the repre- sentations of “L’Ollandese Damnato,” the,Italian version of Wagner's decidedly best opera, “Der Fliegender Hoildnder,” in which Mr, Santley took the part of the Flying Dutchman and Mile. de Murska tnat of the mystic, devoted, enthusiastic and il-lated heroine, Mile. de Murska 1s at this moment as popular and as much admired in England as she ever was. The verdict of New York, now indispensable to every dramatic and operatic aspirant, will, there is little cause to doubt, confirm that of the Oid World. Atany rate, Mr. Maretzek could hardly have made an engagement more likely to excite curt- osity and interest than that which he has entered into with Mile. Iima de Murska, who is to appear among us next week, and who, like every genuine artist, will receive from the New York pubic a right hearty welcome, No public more readily and cheerjully than that of the “Empire City’? admits that art is cosmopolitan.
