JOHNSTONE JONES, ' v . u . Editor' aiid Trxjprletoi . Saturday, May. 24, 1873. FAIR OF THE C ABpWMAS. - At one time.it wnsleftred that the Fair of the Carolinaa would go downs forerer nnlie ItndWrttrnr one of thB eltete uiinga oi Mie ueuu past. The prospeft fai adark one, and the stock company were reduc ed to the verge of despair. It seem ed almost? iiipotrfrniUiVver fe eently iaMcake 3$ BrSeieMite enterprise among our people. But some of the leading spirits of the company bravely persevered, in the lace of great discouragement, a success f has fea1Jy?y6ned fh efforts. fBeTOr8-dayis fixed fact. But fifteen hundred dollars vet remains to be raised. There seems to bnq doubt abqijt this be ing done. Now that the prospect begins to brighten, and the subscrip tion Hat to swell-but in -liberal pro portions, it is beconihgpopiilar to subscribe. Wo ayyetAwitness: a rush for shares io th capital stock of the company. VV j f' There is no question about the faet that the Fair can be made a payittg ..institution if : it is properly managed, and goJ mck iri'the; mat ter of weather attendsits: annual exhibitioris: "An attrnctive Fair vjll draw togetbfir. this ffall a -large, CQn eourse of citiWrvs fr'orn,4Noftrr Caro lina and the upper districts ofouth Carolina.

Fair. The majority of the visitors- "Would come by rail, and the railroad com panies would, of course, reap con siderable benefit from the increased travel. ; These companies ought therefore to be foremost among'the subscribers to the stock. Every dol lar given towards the building up of this Fairand establishing it firmly as one of the fixed institutions of 'Charlotte, will be sure to yield him who gives it a full return for his money, if no this yeai certainly. at some future day. The list of subscribers to the capi tal stock soon to be published. The-public will then see who are the supporters of enterprise in this city and cwrrrty. We hope that the name5 of every good and. substantial citizen either in Charlotte or Mecklenburg, will be found in tbis list. Those who are well able to assist in the enter prise, and who fail to do so, will find that their backwardness in the mat ter will betJf Jiio credit to them. It is well for the public to know who are the liberal-spirited men of Char lotte and who are not. The sub-1 script" on list to the Fair of the Caro linas will show it. One of our Republican exchanges speaks of the "divine greenback." Divine greenback J We may not be surprised to hear Radicals speaking of the god -like dollar, the holy -sixpence, the sacred copper, the. hea venly dime. The Almighty Dollar is the only thing that the wicked Radicals who are ruining and dis gracing this country, seem to rever ence : that filone ppear to com mand.their respect and adoration. .

THE MODOCS; Uovemeats of the Gallant Troops What the Press Agent Knows About.; One-Eyed Dixie, Shack Hasty' Frank, Urs. Watehmetal and Others. " --K Sait Francisco, May 28. The fol lowing despatch has just been re ceived in Yreka, dated Fairchild's Ranche, May 20, 4 o'clock, p. m. "While Gen. Davis,. inspector Gen. Hardie, Col. Green, Col. Sumner, Col. Gillem", Cols, Hoyt, Rockwell and Adams, with their -escort, were en route to Van Bremen's, having left the lava bed about 10 o'clok in the morning, a courier interrupted them and delivered a despatclr to Gen. Davis ; w hereupon the Warm Spring Indians and the scouts in ad vance were recalled and the pro gramme instantly changed, and Gen. Davis determined upon Fairchild's Ranche instead of Van Bremen's as his future headquarters. The place is about 23 miles northwest of the lava beds. Capt. Hasbrouck left Boyle's camp May theTtbi and has been scouting ever since. - His command consists of battery B. 4th Artillery, troops B. and G. 1st Cavalry and the Warm Spring Indians, numbering in all 210 men. Capt. JacksOii has Charge of B. and G., with which he harassed the Indians. His men fought well in every particular, and paid little heed to hunger, so that they van quished the Indians. Capt. Hasbrouck specially praises the gallantry of B. troop and a por tion of G. in the charge at Dry Lake. The men scaled a ridge twenty-five feet high in the face of the Modocs, and drove them away. Capt. Has brouck has not lost a man since the Dry Lake engagement. '' ' ; Artena, Chokus, Long Legs, One Eyed Dixie, and two Modoc resi dents of the Ranche, last evening in terviewed five women captured by Capt. Hasbrouck's command, and from them gleaned an interesting account of the Modocs' operations during the last few months. The captives are Mrs. Watehmetal, Bos ton Charley's two sisters, the moth er of Black Jim and one more maid en whose relatives have attained no noble distinction. It is reported that Shack Nasty Frank, Shack Nasty Dick, Shack Nasty Bill, Steamboat Frank, Hook er J;mie Father Boston Nick and several other Modocs have been killed. Hasbrouck encountered and got the Modocs into the last difficulty. The account of the cause of the dis satisfaction among the Modocs after the battle is interesting.- Cant. Jack consulted and alter sundry gestures and exclamations promised his fol lowerers that they would shed rifle bullets like a duck ('o js water and escape unharmed. TheirvConfidence in that statement was rapidly dis pelled'by Capt. Hasbrouck'!? encoun ter, when several Modocs were killed and others wounded. Indignation reached such extremes in Capt. J's household that the Cotton Wood branch of the tribe from Fairchikls decided they would fight no more. Their resolution led to Capt. Jack's clandestine departure. The Cotton Woods, numbering 20 warriors and 50 women and, children, hurried to Snow Mountains at thesouthern end of the Lava Deposit, preparatory to travelling to Gainox Reservation and imploring pardon from the "Great Father" at Washington. ihe sudden advance of Hasbrouck's cav alry and the Warm Spring Indians disturbed their peaceful meditations and caused them to run or fight. During the stampede Mrs. Hendricks alias Limpsy, threw her six months' old infant to the ground in the hope of escaping, but was soon afterwards killed by the Warm Spring warriors. The babe was brought to headquar ters and turned over to a squaw, Artena. It was learned from the Modoc women, that the Cotton Wood Indians earnestly desired peace and would yield to the soldiers if oppor tuhity was offered them. FROM THE FRONT. A Portion of the Modocs Surrender In Hot Pursuit of Captain Jack No Dead Indians Reported Scalp ed. : . w ; ; San Francisco, May 23. -General Davis reports that Capt. Hasbrouck's command fought a portion of the Modocs, beating them badly and compelling them to surrender un conditionally. The remainder of the Modocs under the personal com mand of Capt. Jack, are being closely pursued by the troops and news is ex pected any moment that Capt. Jack has been captured. The Hoboken Schntzenfest. HoBOKEN, May 23.
