Policy a Failure.
Correspondence N. T. Times.]
I have recently obtained Information that is re
liable, from < flL'ia! and other sources, as to tbe
band of Modoca, that may assist your readers in
understanding tbe situation. In tbe first place.
Jack’s band :s only a conglomerate of disaffected
Modocs, with a 6priukling of renegade Snake and
Pitt River Indians. He was only a petty cbiet,
aud no lenial chiel ol the Modoc tribe is among
the disaffected. Old Scbonchiu is the head chief,
and with his followers resides on the Klamath
Reservation, peaceable and contented, and not
even the whites express more disapproval of the
acts of the renegaded than do their own relatives.
It seem? that Jack and his friends feel very bit
terly against A. B. Menchain, head of the Peace
Commission, because he, with only hall & dozen
tnt-u, some years ago, made them go upon the
Kalmath Reservation, they thinking that he had a
larger force, and feeling mortified at being over
reached. Jack signed the treaty made about eight
or ten yeats ago for selling the Modoc lands, be
came dissatisfied, and left the reservation the first
spring, and left again soon alter, having been in
duced to return there by Mr. Meacham, as above
narrated.
The second time they went ou the reservation,
the band was given a different place for residence
from the rest of the Modoc tribe, already located
there. They had at that time a long talk with
the Klamaths, against whom they had causes of
complaint, all their diflereuces were settled, and
they buried the hatchet. It does not appear that
the enmity was very serious. They speak the
same language, are offshoots of the same family,
aud have constantly intermarried, so that they
could not have been seriously embittered.
It is positively true that these renegade or out
law Modocs never have bad any cause of com
plaint agalust the whites. When on the reserva
tion each time they were well led and consider
ately treated. They made acme complaint that
the Klamatbs were unkind to them, but the res
ervation was sixty miles square and contained
abundant room for ten times the number ol Indi
ans located upon it, aud the tribes and bands
could be independently and separately located on
different streams, with abundant land available
to cultivate along each river.
Jack and his men say they were promised good
houses to live in, and did not get them ; but they
did not remain long enough to make the test as
to whether they could be furnished. This baud
became infected and demoralis'd by association
with the whites around Treka, Northern Califor
nia. That was their familiar country, and tbe
whites there were anxious to retain their trade in
furs, for the ludiaus bad for sale beaver, otter,
marteD, and other furs, and dressed deer skins,
and also fish and meat. This induces me to re
member that the waters of the reservation are so
abundantly stocked with excellent fish that the
Indians cun be easily subsisted on fish alone all the
year around, which answers any charge that It was
not calculated for their support, for their support,
for they could also hunt game in the Cascade
Mountains adjoiuiug them.
At Yreka they came under the influence of a
wily and dangerous man named Elijah Steele,
who hid, I think, been an ludlau agent in Cali
fornia. He had always endeavored, and success
fully, to keep up relations with these Indians, had
advised them that they owed no allegiance to the
Indian Department of Oregon, and they still
claim to act under his direction, aud to own his
authority ; they also pay him large sums of money
for the service he thus renders them. This man
deserves to be made responsible for a great por
tion of the troubles with the Modocs. Jack’s
band hung arouud Yreka for another purpose, not
very reputable or niee to dwell upou. They found
a market iu tbe vicinity of mining camps aud
among the loose and baser sort of whites for their
women. It is true that the fighting men of the
outlaw Modocs are not over numerous. There
were originally about eighty meu among those
who left the reservation, and this number is sup
posed to have dwindled down to not over sixty
aud eveu less. It is estimated that wars and ac
cidents or disease have greatly increased the pro
portion of women to men. In this Modoc baud
the women outnumber the men at least three to
one, aud when we figure ou the numbers engaged
in the first battle at the lava beds we must calcu
late that there were twice as mauy women as men
who took part in the Modoc battle. The Modoc
women are Amazons enough to haudle a guu well
and fight like devils.
It seems that Jack hitnsel! has been spoiling
for a fight ever since he was inveigled by Meach
am ia taking up his second residence on the res
ervation. Since then he has beeu heard to say
that he wanted to have a fight with the soldiers,
and he has been often heard to repeat the remark.
There is no excuse to he made that he was igno
rant of white men. He aud his hand have had such
constant intercourse with the whites that they
speak the English language fluently, iar better
than the peaceable aud civilised Indians ou the
reservation. Some year ago Yreka was burned
down, and Scar-laced Charley is said to have made
one of the most useful firemen who fonght the
flames. He was seeu on top of brick buildings
working with intelligent teal, and was heard
shouting to others, in good finglisb, advising
what was best to do. Only last fall a Modoc
squaw of this band was trying to pare base a sack
of flour at the Klamath Agency. One of the em
ployes told her he would sell her a sack of flour
for $5. She laughed contemptuously, aud said:
“ Five dollars would make you sick; $lO would
do yon some good.”
No excuse cau be made for Jack or his outlaw
band, then, on the plea of ignorance; they never
bad any just cause of complaint against the whites
and they were well treated when on the reserva
tion. They were encouraged to aunouuce allegi
ance to their treaties by evil disposed whites, aud
they became outlaws from preference. In fact. It
is difficult to class them as Indians and pnnish
them as such, because they are repudiated and dis
countenanced, and their acts disavowed, by their
own kith and kin.
Jack’s band roamed about tbe inland rivers and
lakes east of the Sierras, near the California and
Oregon line. Tke settlers were iu terror of them,
and past tribute in various ways. Tbe Indians
would come to a settler's house and demand food.
When the wile offered them a lunch they declined,
and demanded that a meal should be cooked as
white folk? cook lor themselves, sed, of course,
the woman dared not refuse. They took great
pleasure in being well led in this manner, and the
extent of the pleasure enjoyed can only be esti
mated when one understands the immensity of an
Indian appetite. When settlers were catting Lay
Jack would come aloug and demand that a bee!
should oe killed lor the privilege, and, of coarse,
the settler dare not refuse. This, too, when they
had been parties to a treaty selling the land. They
knew, as well as any one, their obligations, and
their relatives ou tbe reservation have continually
complained that Jack and his baud have been of
fered a premium to be c utlaws, that they would do
better to be outlaws themselves, as they would
receive more consideration than they bad lor never
having made trouble. The Modoc idea of gratl
tude may be estimated from the tact that after
they commenced hostilities they killed fifteen set
tlers upon Tule Lake, men at whose booses they
had been lei and always kindly treated. They may
have Intended this as revenge that they were not
informed of the coming ot troops, but these settlers

FORSYTH. GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING MAY 20. 1873.
The correspondent, Bogart, whose case has been
prominent before the public of late, wrote the San
Francisco Chronicle some vv. y false statements,
among the rest, charging the Applegates with
causing the trouble to create a market for their
beef cattle. It would not be ea=y to convince the
world that in a scene so remote from society, and
In an Indian country, there couid be found young
men of as much practical cultivation of mind and
nobility of character as are possessed by the Ap
plegates referred to. I have the pleasure of be
ing acquainted with ihcrn, and know that they
have done rnnch to practically benefit tbe Indians
always, and that they have a good influence among
the whites,commanding the respect ol both. When
the massacre occurred at Tu!e Lake, they took des
perate chances to inform other settlers of their
danger and to rescue Mrs. Brotherton, who, with
her little son, made a successful defense against
the Indians until relieved. The story of that res
cue is a heroic one that will be often told when the
Modoc war is over. The Applegates own large
bands of cattle in that vicinity aud are sharp busi
ness men, but possess nobility and chivalry of
character that would grace a heroic age and the
most cultivated society.
The Indian tribes of tbe whole Northwest are
in frequent communication, and whatever is done
in one region is known to all. Of iate the tribes,
having been placed on reservations, are all at
peace, and visits are interchanged and facts car
ried everywhere. All the tribes are watching,
fiom British Columbia southward, to see what
the Government will do with Capt. Jack and his
Modocs. They all demand that firm measures
shall be pursued, and since the Peace Commission
has beeu established, the practice ot sending mes
sengers from a hostile camp with gilts and food
has caused complaint. The other Modocs say it is
a premium for mtrder. The Kalmaths say that
those outlaws and murderers are treated better
than ever they were, who never raised a hand
against the whites, or violated a treaty stipula
tion. The liberal terms offered the hostile Modocs
were not popular with the other Indians, and had
they been carried out trouble would have ensued.
The respect they had lor the whites weakened as
they saw how the Peace Commissioners tempor
ized with a little band of outlaws and murderers,
and begged them to accept amnesty and peace at
their hands. It did not in tbe least accord with
Indian sense.
It must be confessed that in this instance the
peace policy is a failure. lam a firmer convert
than ever to the belief that the Indians must be
conquered into a peace, for the savage mind, in a
wild state, will not realize that any humanity dic
tates our policy. When you have won the Indian’s
respect by whipping him handsomely and thor
oughly, aud to his hem’s content, you can talk
peace to him, and make him understand that yon
are actuated by humanity.
Anew religion is springing up among all the In
dian tribes, and the Indians on the Klamath res
ervation are becoming converts to it, and begin
ning to believe that the successes attained by these
Modocs are a commencement of the fulfillment of
their religious belief. This is known as the Smo
holia religion, and it Is being inculcated among
the different tribes by means of missionaries ol
the new faith. Smo-holla is a dreamer, a sort of
Indian Spiritual medium, who drawn to himself
from all tribes to Priest’s Rapids on the Columbia
river, a following people that have faith in his
revelations. Gradually this faith has spread, and
the most remarkable fact concerning it is that
Smo-holla claims to be under spirit guidance, and
to do nothing without spiritual advice. He teach
es the tribes that a millennium i3 coming, when
they shall again possess the earth; when the
white man shall disappear, and when all that he
has will be left for the Indians. The dead warriors
of past ages are to come to life again, armed cap-a
pie, and the red men will possess the earth. Here
is another chance for difficulty, unless met with a
firm hand. Smo-holla and his band of outlaws
and renegades, uud powerful Indian tribes are in
their vicinity. The faith is being proselyted far
aud near, and it is, perhaps, 400 miles Irorn
Priest’s Rapids to Klamath Agency. Ido not un
derstand that Capt. Jack accepts the new religion,
or is actuated by it. 1 think he acts from mere
diabolical cussedness, hut the believers in It 6eom
to think Modoc success is au indication in its fa
vor. It is true that Smo-holla doesn’t advocate
force, and he distinctly says that no force is nec
essary; that the whites will disappear by killing
each other, etc., but an Indian can easily be wily
enough to commence small, and sing of peace
until he gains strength for war. The new religion
is dangerous, and it the Idea of a crusade can be
thoroughly taught, we may live to see what Indi
an fanatcism may accomplish in that direction.
A council has been lately held with a portion ol
the Nez Perce tribe of Indians in Northern Idaho,
for tbe purpose of settling land questions with
them. These Indians have never agreed to the
treaty for sale of their lands made long ago with
the majority of the tribe, and claim lands now
being settled by whites. Their relation to the
main tribe somewhat resembles that of the outlaw
Modocs, and it may be necessary to take firm
steps with them. It the Government will show a
strong hand and a just one with the Indians, there
will be less trouble. They are apt to mistake
conciliation for fear on our part, and that makes
them unreasonable. The Nez Perces have never
been hostile, and they deserve to be very honora
bly tteated, for they are a superior race of Indians,
but a portion of them —the portion already re
ferred to—have been always restrained by the will
of the majority, and have at times been anxious to
take the war with hostile tribes. The Smo-holla
band are located in their vicinity, and we may
look for trouble if this spiritual religion, with its
fanaticism, obtains their support. I should con
sider it very important that the Smo-holia party
was made to occupy the reservations to which
they severally belong.
The council referred to did not result in any set
tlement ol the difficulty, lor the Indians refused
te go on the reservation to live and insisted on
their claim to the lands of the Wallowa Valley.
Another council will be called when the results,
or want of results of the first one are transmitted
to Washington, and Instructions received as to
what course to pursue.
The peace commission to the Modocs has been
very unpopular in Oregon, and the unhappy result
of it has justified the opposition to it Iu mauy
instances Indian wars have been a discredit to our
State, having sometimes been occasioned by out
rages committed by white outlaws as much as by
Indian aggressions. Speculation on the frontiers
always 6tand ready to make money ont of Indian
difficulties and the organisation of volunteer forces
to carry on the war, gives an opportunity for po
litical manasuvring. We cannot feel very proud
of our war record as a State, or of the standing
bur war claims now have at Washington, for we
are jet striving to collect claims for Indian wars
that occurred in 185$, twenty years ago. At the
present time the regular numoer 700, aud they
have a force of sixty ludlau scouts to assist them,
triautd iu late wars with the Snakes under Gen.
Crook, so there is no doubt of the ability of the
Government to drive the Modocs from ttieir strong
hold oetore long, though we may expect to hear
of many being killed before the desperadoes are
dually overpowered. I consider it a very lortun
ate thing that the State forces are not employed
at all, and that the State authorities have nothing
to do in the matter.
