In this skirmish > Lieutenant KYLE was wounded and several soldiers killed and wounded. > Friday morning the attack was commenced on the west by PERRY and MASON's > command, together with the Oregon and California volunteers. The battle > opened by a few shells from the howitzers, but owing to the dense fog they > were afraid of their throwing away BERNARD's men who were attacking from > the east. FAIRCHILD's company stood in the front of the fighting for a > long time and suffered greatly until Captain PERRY ordered them back and > put his regulars ahead a distance of a mile. The troops made several > attempts to charge the line along the lava bed, but only met showers of > bullets from the unseen enemy in the chasms. Captain PERRY was severely > wounded in the arm and hip. Several men were wounded and some killed. > Here, too, was where FAIRCHILD's men were wounded and 2 Oregon volunteers > (Frank TREMBLE and J.R. BROWN) killed. Most of the men succeeded in > reaching BERNARD's line before dark, but many were obliged to hide in the > rocks until darkness would let them escape from the Indians, who fought > with desperation, jumping from rock to rock and picking off every soldier > they could see. They fought as is their custom, stripped naked, with > nothing but an ammunition sack swung from their shoulders. Lieutenant > ROBERTS, of FAIRCHILD's command, received a terrible wound in the head, > which will undoubtedly prove fatal as the brains protruded. > > Much excitement has prevailed here all day in consequence of the fight. > The officers are now satisfied that Captain Jack intend to fight it out > where he is, and consider he has the strongest natural fort to be found in > the country. Up to the time TICKNOR left there were 10 whites known to be > killed and 30 wounded. > ------------------------------- > > > <Wednesday, 22 Jan 1873> > > [none] > > > <Thursday, 23 Jan 1873> > > BORN -- in this city, Jan. 20th, to the wife of Jas.

DAVIDSON, of > whom the Vallejo 'Chronicle' gives the following account: > > In 1813 and 1814 he was employed in Charleston in the building of the > Independence, the receiving ship now lying at Mare Island. He also > assisted in building other war vessels, and in 1823 he went to > Constantinople and assisted in building the Turkish fleet. Mr. DAVIDSON is > now in his 82d year, and is hale and hearty, and is capable of doing a > good, average day's work. He is full of hope and spirit, and has lately > come to the conclusion that his hand-writing is not quite good enough, and > so he takes lessons in penmanship. In 1812 and 1813 he served in the > American army and navy, and yet feels himself quite capable of handling a > musket. In 1813 he helped to build the fleet which served under Commodore > PERRY. Mr. DAVIDSON has handed a genealogy of his family, copied from his > family register, by which he traces back his ancestry to THORWALDSEN, a > Dane, who landed in Scotland with Canute in 1011. The descendants from > that time down to the present century appear to have been distinguished > for their valor in battle and longevity. In this genealogy we find the > named of 60 of Mr. DAVIDSON's ancestors. Two of them attained the ripe old > age of 168 years each before shuffling off this mortal coil; 4 others > lived to be over 150 years, 7 more died besides these who were 140, and 19 > lived more than a century. One was ultimately killed in his 168th year, > and another was stricken down on the field of battle at 149 years. > Altogether, the longevity of Mr. DAVIDSON's ancestors, as given by his > family register, is one of the most wonderful things of the kind ever > brought to our notice. > ----------------------------- > > DISPATCHES -- > From San Francisco, Jan. 23 -- > -A private cable dispatch, received here this evening, announces that Hon. > O.L.
