The courier arrived here at 9 this morning, having left the front at 0 0 clock yesterday morning. A dispatch from Lieutenant Boyle's camp stttles that at sunrise yesterday the Modocs came into camp and fired on the picket guard. A rally was made and the charge sounded. At this time McKay caiuo in sight. His men united and drove the Modocs into the timber capponies, three pack turing twenty-on- e mules, one Modoc tent on the field, and nineteen mules packed with six bodies before they retreated. The trail is covThe Indians beat a ered with gore. hasty retreat towards the McClure range of Mountains south of Sorass lake. General Davis is determiued to keep them moving until the last Modoc is killed. Captain IJasbruck thinks the Modocs have no ammunition, except what is iu their pouches, as they lost their entire stock of ammunition in this fight. The bodies of Lieutenant Cranston and men who were killed in the former fight have boen found, but owing to the advanced stage of decomposition they could not be brought in. They have s been buried and erected at the graves. Surgeon Semig has had his leg amputated below the knee. . bead-board- Captain G. J. Lydecker, of the engineer corps, arrived from tho front this eveuinjr, with a six mule team, lie left yesterday morning, (he same time as the regular courier. He has been sketching and photographing the lava bed coun try, and prouounces it one of the strongest imaginable in natural fortification. He confirms tho previous reports concerning the engagement of the 10th instant, except that there was one soldier and one Warm Spring Indian killed,and tight soldiers snd otie Warm Spring Indian wounded, the latter having since died. .Some of the soldiers were seriously wouudud; but the Modoc were routed and f caitered into the mountains bordering the lava bed, their truSjeuig fallowed by the Warm Spring Ihu'imiiby I lood indications.

Tho last reports from Yiainox reservation riprcfciit all quiet, but it is thought the young Klamath warriors would readily go to war were they disturbed ami Captain Jack holds out much longer. The forces a ting are some twenty-liv- e miles from here, and arc working this vuy. probably driving the Modocs to-- v aid the stronghold they occupied at tiie time of the Thomas mass i ere. The t. oops are moving from this camp this morning, hoping to cut them off before ti'cy reach it. Allis action now, nnJ lua Modocs will be allowed no rest. Gen. Luyis hopes we have begun an nctiou which will end in the extermination of tut tribe. It was a grand mistake of the Modocs, who undoubtedly thought they could fttampede this force us they had stampeded others; but they met the Warm Springs. These warriors started at the first lire, as fast as they could get their guns trotting in on the flank of the Modocs, which surprised them. The cvy of "Warm Springs'" went through the Modoc ranks, and they were stampeded in place of the soldiers. The V.'arm Springs drove them all day, were on their flank last night, and v. ill renew the fight touay. Halt cries II ami K left for the Lava Beds last ti'ght.

Tho Modoc are either attempting to return to tlic Lava Bed, from this side, or will takeloYau Bremen's mouutain, au there scatter. They are evidently starved out, and their ammunition is nearly all g&ne, making them subjects for easy capture, U'good guides are with the soldiers to hunt them. St. Louis, 13. The congressional conference met at noon. Mayor Brown said: It was not our purpose in inviting yoa here to merely discuss our local, attractions, neither was it our desire to invite you here for. the purpose o boinging undue influence to bear on jou aad thereby endeavor to secure your committal; to legislation, calculated to take ftdvftnta&e or injure any portian f our coonsooi coun-r- j.

We desire to submit a plain practical exhibit of the needs of the west and south for improved water transportation to the oceau. We do not desire to excite discussion, nor do we ask any vote in advance of legislative propositions, nor do we intend to embarrass you by strict partizan proceedings. The mayor then referred to the necessity of improved water routes to the seaboard, and stated what Government had done for the sea coast in the way of protection to life and properly, and claims that tho same should be done for the west; and to illustrate the perils of navigation on the Mississippi river, he said that there is one bend in that river only four miles iu extent where lie the wrecks of thirty-sisteamers damming up the way; and that it is appropriately called (irave Yard fcenl. He says not only the west and south arc interested in removing obstructions from and deepening the channels of the Mississippi river and tributaries, but the whole country and also foreign nations, for cheap transit of the products of the Mississippi valley has, and always must have, great influence on the markets of the world. He also cites the fact that, in consequence of the high rates of freight to the seaboard, many farmers have actually burned their com because it could not be marketed without bringing them in debt. In view of these anI various other drawbacks to the trade and businesss of the west, he appeals to congressmen to consider the situation ami accord that aid which will remove the trouble. The Governor gave the members a warm welcome on behalf of the people of the State, and presented some minim; statistics. Henry T. Blow asked Con gress to give the country a national wa ter system equal to our railroad system. r lion. I,, u. Stewart spoke m behalf of increased aud cheaper facilities for x mm transportation.

The Loiii.si.ina and Indian questions were talked over but elicited nothing new. The President appointed Jackson S. Schultz, of New York, as Commissioner to Yieuna. lo represent the United to-da- y y States. Halifax, to-da- y. 1 county, New York, but who has resided in this city for some time past, died last Thursday from the effects of poison, supposed to have been administered by himself. His wife and a man named W. Rogers have acted in such a manner as to arouse suspicion. Mr. Gould's friends thought that he had been murdered and warrants were issued for the arrest of Rogers and Mrs. Gould. They were lodged in jail last night. Mr. Gould was a nephew of Jay Gould, of New York, and Mrs. Gould is a native of this city. Youngtown, 0., 14. The first hundred of one thousand laborers to work at the mines, arrived from New York Trouble was anticipated with the strikers who threatened to prevent the emigrants from going to work, and to protect them a squad of police camo from Cleveland, and a number of armed men were sent from here. The strikers are around in large numbers all day, but the force of police and armed men there opposed to them is ample to repel any trouble that may be made by the strikers. Macon, Ga., 14. The scaffold at the Meyer University fell y to the ground. Three white men killed and two colored wounded. New York, 14. Mr. Crouch, fomrerly in the employ of Jay Gould, caned Mr. S. L. Barlow this afternoon, inflicting severe injuries. The livening Pod's special from Washington, says: The announcement that the President had tendered the Russiau mission to Judge Bdward Pierpont, of New York, has greatly astonished the friends of John A. Bingham, who was perfectly confident he would be appointed to this mission by the President. Bingham's friends are by no means sanguine now that he will get a foreign appointment, as they had been led to believe. It is intimated the President will send him to Italy, as Minister Marsh returns on account of ill health. 13. at An explosion took place Drummond's colliery. The manager, his assistant, aud forty other men are in the pit. The etopc is on fire with no means of egress from the mines. Great anxiety is lelt for their safety. The greatest excitement prevailed after the occurrence. Crowds of people for miles nrmind came rushing to the scene of the disis'er; mothers, wives, sistets, children and friends crowded around the bunting pit, mourning pitifully the terrible fate of thoso below, the heartrending cries being heard for a long distance. Every effort has been made to rescue the meu, bu.t &o far without success., Assistance from Picton and New Glasgow, where great excitement prevails, 19 at Ltud.
