That gallant fireman deserves to te embalmed <a song and story for his heroic •Hi '(lie Hostile Indiana. Capt. Jack and his Modocs—Their Ante cedents—Otheb Indian Tribes—The Peace 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 kh# lathing af tte UrittUMl ai tte MUttf* 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. •‘ Men are what Women make Them,” is the singular title of anew book.
