Bainbridge, April 28, 1873. An Indian Moses- WHY CAPTAIN JACK KILLED GEN. CAN BY—A STRANGE RELIGION. To any one acquainted with tlie present temper of the Pacific coist In dians the reason for-the massacre of Gen. Canby by Captain Jafck is obvi ous. A belief exists among the tribes and bands in the States and Territories heretofore named that the time of their deliverance from the domination of the white race is close at hand. It hgs long been predicted by the old warriqys and their medicine men, and within the last three years has ■gained an almost universal acceptance. When questioned, however, by those sustaining official relations with them, most of the Indians deny any knowledge of these beliefs or traditions. Never theless, the fact that the belief has be come almost universal is well known to all intelligent men having ffTendly re lations with the Indians. On page 303, Commissioner’s Re port for 1782, arc some statements on this subject by N. A. Cornoyer, agent in charge of the Umatilla, llesarvation, Oregon; to which Superintendent T. B. Odeneal of Oregon, at the conclusion of this report (on page 302, same book),. makes the following preference.

Pen the reading of this communication, enanimou-lvvoted that the Decatur the doctrines of‘ which they are taught that a new God is coming to their res cue; that ail the Indians who have died heretofore, and who shall die here after. are to be resurrected; that, as they then will be very numerous and powerful,‘they will be able to conquer the whites recover their lands, and live as free and unrestrained as their fathers lived in olden times. Their model of a man is an Indian; they aspire to be In dians, and nothing else. About four hundred of them belong at Umatilla Agency, one hundred at Warren Ppfings, and the remainder in the Terri tories of Idaho and Washington. It is thought by those who know them best that they cannot be made to go upon their reservations without at least be ing intimidated by the presence of' a military force.” WHO SHALL BE THE INDIAN MOSES? The belief, substantially the same as officially stated above, has led the In dians in the belt of country situated east of the Cascade an'd west of the Kocky Mountains, to longingly look for the coining of their deliverer, and to hail all unusual occurrences as indi cations of his speedy advent. No chief knows but that he may prove to be the chosen one, and Captain Jack in his Success will be greeted as such by great numbers of the braves. The same idea that inspired tlie first gun of the rebel lion, namely, to ‘’fire the Sonthem heart,” actuated these Indians. The treacherous assault in which General Canby was sacrificed would never have been made had not Captain Jack and his associates been guaranteed the co operation of the great tribes of all that section. It was the one thing needed to fire the Indian heart. The fact that Gen. Canby and other men were, slain is all well known to-day to the Indians about Fort Benton as to the people of Yreka. The earthquake which shoSk Oregon and Washington Territory last December was accepted by the Indians as prophetic of a great event m their favor. This bloody massacre will be to them the fulfillment of Nature’s prophe cy. Such is the meaning of the Lava Bed catastrophe. terminus of the Southern trans-conti nental railroad, upon which work is now vigorously prosecuted »t both ends of the line, under the auspices of Col. Scott. San Diego is‘about 400 miles south of San Francisco, near the Mexican frontier line; it is in direct line with China and the East, and is favorably located to become a great re ceiving and distributing centre for the trade of Mexico, Southern California, and of Chir^a and Australia, with which countries it is to be connected with new lines of steamers. Work was commenced on the Cali fornia end of the Texas Paciffic Rad- road at San Diego on the 21st inst. It is the intention of the company to have trains running through by u y , • This settles in favor of San D fo the question of the western route and A Florida Sensation- A WILD MAN IN MARION COUNTY'. • Just as we are going to press a most startling rumor reaches us of the discovery of a wild Man in scott’s cave, about two miles from this place. The fact3, as*we are able to gather them from the numerous and start ling reports flying about the town, # are these; While an exploring ex pedition, composed of Captain A. G. Grant; President of the European International Colonization Society, Mr. George Burnside, reporter of the JackfjonvTllc Union, and Dr. Ze. Butt, of this place, were admiring the romantic appearance of this re markable curiosity and speculating as to its origin, they were suddenly- startled by the terrific chatferings. and wild gesticulation of something what is now supposed to be ft wild man. The THE HIDEOUS AND SINGULAR LOOK ING OBJECT sprang suddenly trom the mouth of the cavern and and rushed up an adjoining hill, uttering a peculiar noise—something like the sound of a .human being in distress—and. springing into the dense woods, was lost to sight. The party of gentle men, after recovering from their as tonishment. gave hot pursuit after tlie retreating figure. Tlie race was exciting. The Union reporter, as was befitting the representative of a rapid newspaper, distanced his comrades in the chase, and would have eventually succeeded in cap turing this “wild man of the woods had not the latter, by a quick flank movement, RETREATED TO IIIS STRONGHOLD iii llie cavij. Upon approaching the entrance to the cavern the pursuers were surprised to find the pursued resting himself indifferently upon a crooked stick—which, during the en tire efiase, he hud never relinquished. Standing at a safe distance tlie party gazed with mute astonishment at the wonderful being—if being it can be called. Describing him as he ap peared to an eye-witness—who has just returned trom the scene ol ac tion, hot with spurring, fiery red with haste, jnd covered with glory qnd perspiration—it seemed, he said, to possess'the figure of A iffAN OF GIGANTIC PROPORTIONS, ranging apparently from five to seven feet in height and covered with long, .whitish hair of bristle stiffness, and singular withal as still to leave the party in doubt as to whether it be man, beast or demon. Two of the party stationed them selves at the entrance of the cave to watch the movements of its mys terious occupant, and, if possible, to prevent his escaping; while the third hastened to town to spread the wonderful tidings and to procure as- istance in its capture. The town is in WILD EXCITEMENT, and while we are writing a litrge party of citizens is being organized- armed with ropes, clubs, sticks and other weapons necessary to effect the “AVbat Is It’s” capture, which wc trust will be speedy. In our next issue we shall give our readers a more complete narrative of this wonderful adventure if any new de velopments are made; assuring them in the meantime that what we have already related has been t-ld us by a reliable eye-ttitness.—Wabbtetoicn Grabbler. A Bogus Mule Trade. A saddle colored fellow citizen yester day, persauded two ‘-gintlemen from the rural deestriks” that he was the owner ; of a pair of mules, which he had at j Tavlor’s livery and horse mart on Ala- 1 bama street, that he wished to sell on ! time. The offer was too tempting to be resisted, so a bargain was struck, and now the trouble was to procure bri dles to bring the animnles home. The pretended owner suggested that he could get a pair for fifty cent*, which amount the purchasers forked over, glad of thg chance to get such a good bargain. Instead of buying the bridles, the darkey, to the utter astonishment of the purchasers, made an effort to obsquat- ulate, hut a star hove in sight and invi ted him to sojourn during his stay in the city, at the hotel de calaboose, which, of course, he accepted.—Atlanta Sun, Be Your Own Right-Hand Man-. People who have been bolstered up all their lives are seldom good for anything in a crisis. When mis fortune comes they look a rtf and for some one to lean upon. Ir the prop is not there down they go : once down they are .as helpless £j- a cap sized turtle, and they cannot find their feet again without assistance. To sigh or repine over a lack of inheritance is unmanly. Every man should strive to be a ciedtor insfead of an*inheritor—he should bequeath instead of borrow—he should bo con scious of the power within him and fight his own battles with his own lance. Efforts persisted into achicv- ments train a man to self-reliance ; and when lie has proven to the world that he can trust himself, the world will trust-him. One of tlie best les sons that can be taught to»young men is this; Work—strengthen your moral and mental faculties as you would strengthen your «nuscles by vigorous exercise. Learn to con quer circumstances, you are then in dependent of'fortune. When once this spirit of sell-reliance is learned, every, man will discover within him self die elements and capacities of wealth. He will be rich, incstima*- bly rich, in sell-resources and can lift his head proudly to meet the no blest among men. The men who left their mark or. tlie years in which they lived, w r ere all trained in a rough school; they did not mount to tlieir high position by the help of leverage. They leap ed the Chasm, grappled with oppos ing rocks, avoided avalanches, and, when the goal was reached, felt that but for the t il that had strengthen ed them as they strove they would never have obtained the reward.

If he is not in the habit of pardoning an euemy, neither does lie forget u friend. MR. DAVIS’ OPINION OF BEN HILL AND LONGSTREET.. Not long since I was present when a gentleman remarked to Mr. Davis that the political course of Ben Hill, of Georgia, was, to say the least of 'it, to be regretted. "Possibly,’’an swered Mr. Davis, “Hill might have pursued a course in recent politics that I would have liked better, if I cared much about such things ; but I will be far from censuring the man, lbr anything he may do now who stood by me when all others forsook our cause. It was in those trying times that he proved ' himself the truest of the true. His pen and his voice were on my side when I most needed them, and they were equal to ten thousand bayonets, and I shall not forget his services.” The other endeavored to support his po sition by citing Longstreet’s case, arguing that Longstreet had been a good soldier in a good cause, yet his late political antecedents are suffi cient to destroy any and all former good opinions formed of him. Mr. Davis did not think the case parallel. Longstreet was an ordinary man, whose place could ’have be^u sup plied by a thousand persons. Hill %Yas a great man of power. The Clerkship Mania- A few days since*a gentleman of this citv had inserted in the Morning News an advertisement for “A clerk, salary moderate,” and the same day received thirtv-six applications for the position, which number was greatly increased the two following days- These appli cations were from youths, young men. and even middle aged men. many of whom were willing to work for a salary just sufficient to pay their board. This is only an insolatcd case; during the past six months many such have occur red. but one is sufficient for oar illus tration. We regret to say that these arc bad omens, showing the tendency ofi the young men of the times. All after “clerkships,” no matter what the com pensation, the advantages of promotion —anything to get behind a Counter. under the most favorable circum stances, in five cases out of six, what does a clerkship mean ? To be brief, it means always a clerk, and never a principal. The best way is to start right in your career with the word—o commence by acquiring a knowledge ol some business in which you Can rise tf a position of honor and independence. Enter into it with ambition and the determination to make a success, and with average talents, industry, energy, and self-reliance you will not fail. To whom are we indebted for our greatest and most useful inventions ? The in telligent, industrious mechanic. A brief sketch wijl aptly illustrate the general fate of seekers of clerk ships A young man enters a store, or an office, at a salary of four or five hun dred dollars a year; in a few years, by close attention to the business of his employer, he may be able to eommafln a thousand or twelve hundred debars a year. Whether he receives five hun dred or a thousand dollars a year makes no difference as a general rule, in the amount he saves. He must “keep up appearances,” and as he advances in his position, be finds that his personal expenses are also increasing. Finally, after years of hard labor and oftentimes of faithful, honest and sefvices, he is without warding thrown out of «mploy- ment. - “Business is dull t and we can’t afford to keep you any longer,” is the only satisfaction lie get, as he goes out into the world without a dollar, to look for another clerkship,for each of which there are hundreds of applicants. This is the time that the young man realizes the mistake he has made, and wishes that he had “learned a- trade.” He sees, now, that any expert workman, among the trades, receives more money than lie lias ever received as a clerk, and besides is independent. If he is sober and industrious, he is never “out of work.” His expenses are only half a g much as those of a clerk, and he a vcs his money to begin for himself in few years, in a business which he un derstands perfectly; Such a man is on the high road to prosperty. Young men who have not Capital to invest in a line of business in which it is necessary to serve as a clerk to ob tain knowledge of the business to fit them far ihe position of proprietor, should avoid clerkships „as a delusion and a snare. Learn a trade—avoid temptation and be independent.—Sav. Ncics. Lousiana. Tlie so-called "Governor” Kellogg, of Lousiana, is a usurper, a thief. He stole the office which he holds, as we have heretofore proved by Senator Schurz and others. When, therefore, fie sends telegrams to Washington saying that he has is sued no conjmissions to fusion offi cers, &c., or affirming or denying anything else, his Statements must be looked upon as the utterances ol a perjured villian. -They# may or may not be true, but certainly his word is not worth anything.—Rich mond Dispatch. Coming Home to Roost. Wc judge feom the Tribune that they are beginning to understand in that office how true it is that curses come home to roost. The Tribune knows now what is meant by sowing the wind" and reaping the whirlwind. The seed it sowed for a quarter of a century is blooming in blood and anarchy, and yet it has the cheek to quarrel with the harvest. It says: It must be evident that the one re sult from. Southerfi Misgovernment which thoughtful men have most dread ed is rapidly coming to pass. The un principled politicians who have sought to make their fortunes by aid of the colored vote have spared no pains to create a distinctive negro party wher ever, as in many parts of Louisana the negroes are strotig enough to make it worth while. They have inflamed these ignorant and Credulous people against their former masters. They hare as. sured them that they must, take the government into their own hands if they Would Hot be cent back into slave ry. They have fanned their ambition. They hare excited their cupidity. Of course at the same time they have ir ritated and embittered the whites. Still smarting under their defeat and losses in the war, the whites find themselves plundered and imposed upon by the worst set of adventurers that ever cursed a State, and are taught that these adventurera cannot be disloged by the ballot, for they overrule any election that goss against them. The Ties that Sind Us. It is estimated that the number of railroad ties in present nse in the Uui- ted States is 150,000,000. A cut of 200 ties to the acre is above rather than under the average, and it there fore has required the product of 750.- 000 acres of wild timbered land to fur nish the supply. Railroad ties, last about fivo years, consequent^ - 30,000,- 000 ties are used annually for repairs, taking the the. timber from 1501000 acres, and a fueTsupply of nearly 500,- 000 acres more every year. It appears, then, that our railroads are stripping the country at the rate of 1.000.000 acres per annum; and their demands are rapidly increasing. Kellog, the Louisana Usurper. A correspondent of the Boston Rost writing from New Orleans, under date of ISth inst., says: “The vacillating, bewildered Governor of Durell's crea tion is powerlass through his own imbe-' cility. His ill-favored face bears marks of care and terror. He cannot tell wliat he wifi do next nor’ even what he has done. One one month ago lie. had an opportunity to obtain the support of the whole people. By his deception and irresolution he has made hundreds of opponents every' day. • The negroes hate him. The Custom House is ready to abandon him. Those who accept the situation in patience and obey the laws as they are enforced in silenee have have no support for him. The tax-resisters and Bourbons are • gaining strength. He will soon have no friends. Whether he puts an end to his own ex istence, runs away, is shut up in some asylum, or is hurried out of his seat by some process as lawless as that which placed him in it, will, make little dif ference. It seems as if there must be- a change somehow.” Biography of Captain Jack. ■ Captain Jack, who with a score or two warriors now holds the United States at bay, has been interviewed by a correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle. The reporter says he slept beside Captain Jack in his cave on the 2Sth of last February, and since the murder of Canby has been shaking in his shoes at the thought of what might have happened. As Captain Jack must now be accounted one of tke great gen erals of the earth—making a far better fight on his capital than Baron von Molke eould do, let us reprint the cor respondent’s biographical notice: Captain Jack.—Captain Jack, the chief of the tribe, and author of the villainous plot, is a full blooded Modoc of about thirty years of age. though he looks much older. He has a good bead though- like all Indians, his forehead is low and retreating. His complexion is dark, being a bright copper color, and his eyes are black, full and piercing. His hair is long, hangingedown to the shoulders, and his face is entirely desti tute of beard. His mouth is large, and its shape indicates firmness and determi nation, though it by no means denotes cruelty and baseness—traits which Jack seems to possess above all others. In manner he is cool, self-possessed and dignified. He insists upon being treated with the greatest respect by all with whom he comes in contact, and the chief ruler of forty millions of people could not be a greater stickler for of ficial etiquette than is this same miser able savage. He never smiles. His greeting of his visitors on the occasion of the visit referred to was a splendid exhibition of indifference and haughti ness, notwithstanding at the time he was so ill he could not stand up. Be fore this act of treachery, he was be lieved to be the soul of honor. Set tlers in the neighborhood who had many dealings with'him said that they never knew Captain Jack to do a mean or base act, nor would he knowingly permit any member of his band to do one. If any of the ranchman ever complained of any act of peculation or other annoyance, Jack was sure to visit punishment upon the head of the offen der. He was elected chief of'thb tribe two or three years ago.’ and ’Squire Steele, of Yreka. acted as judge of elec tion—a fact which has always made Steele Jack’s fast friend. He was the last man in the tribe who it would, be thought could be guilty of so base an act; ah act entirely out of keeping.with his past character. Pocketbooks and Pickpockets. A New York paper publishes the fol lowing letter: • Sir: Please advise your readers al ways to leave their names and addresses in their pocket-books It frequntly happens in our business that we . come in possession of portemonnaies contain ing private papers and photographs which we would be glad to return, but we have no means of doing so. It is dangerous to carry them about—so we are forced to destroy them. I remem ber an instance where I met with seri ous trouble because I could not make np my mind to destroy a picture of a baby which I had found in the poeket- book of a gentleman which came into my hands in the way of business on the Third avenue road. I had lost a baby myself, the year before, of the same age as this one, and I would have given all I had for Such a picture. There was no name in the portemonnaie, and no way of finding out who was the owner; so. like a fool. I advertised it, and got shad owed for it by jhe police. Tell your readers to give li! ? fair show to be de cent—and always leave their addresses in their pocketbooks. We want to live and let live. Yours, truly, r » A Pickpocket. Th6 Destruction of San Salvador! - Of all the buildings composing the important city of San Salvador only one solitary edifice of tfood was left uninjured. The only other buildings not completely leveled with the earth were the Government House and the.Hotel de Parque, both bnilt of stene. More than fifty dead and one hundred and fitly wounded had been gathered from the debris of the town ; and although tlie loss of fife* from the earthquake was probably not as extensive as it was at first saidto to 1)0, it was so great, and the destruction was so complete, as to inspire wonder at the temerity of the authorities who had resolved to rebuild the city on a site which has been affected by eight serious earthquakes since the year 1575. Terrible Crime and Retribution- A letter from Union county, Arlc., dated but a few days ago, tells that a married lady there went to tt neighbor’s house to stay several days. She was not well when she left home, and her husband told her lie would lake care of the children until she came back, but when she got toiler destination there was no one at home but hired men, and she started back. She bad not gone far before a negro man stopped her horse, took her off the horse and hitched it outside of the road, and told her to take the path before him, and lie drove and pushed .and pulled her eight miles into the bottom, and tied,her to a tree, where he abused her in the most shockingly brutal manner. The second day she was in the woods she gave birth to a child. She was three days away from home before she was missed by her husband, who sat out to search for her and found her horse hitched to a tree,- where it had been tied by the negro. A party was raised to prosecute tlie search; and as they passed near the place whete the woman was concealed the negro killed her for fear the noise she might make would lead to his discovery. He then went home to his own house -Hiu asked a negro man and boy if there was anybody hanting for a mis sing lady ; they told him yes, and as he got up to start they caught him ami started back with him, and met one of the men in pursuit. They made their captive tell where the woman was. lie said he had killed her. They then made him take them to whore she was. He said they were in sight of her the day before, when the woman fainted, and said she Rid fainted three or four times while tied ; and that she begged him to turn.hor iqpse, and he would not. They took the negro to her husband and asked him what they must do with him. He told them to burn him. The men who had him were all negroes. They built two log heaps and put him in the middle. They were twenty-four hours burns ing him ; they would roll him to the coals and take him out and talk to him, and.pnt him back, and at last they built a large fire, put him on the top of it and let him burn to ashes, and that was the last of him. There was not a white man that had anything to do with it—all negroesj “Absolutely the Best Protection Against Fire/’ Over 12,000 Fires Actually Pui Out With It!
