exclusively, and has been in operation for a
year past. Old Mrs. Mollyhan, who lives at
the head waters of the little kanawha, is the
postmaster general. Her house is the distrib-
utng Office. The Wheeling htelIgencsr under
stands that the route has been doing a splend-
L business.

The REBEL RAID INTO PENNsYLvANIA--dEN:
PLEAsANToN's REPoRr.-I learn that General
Pleasanton, in his oficialreport of the affair of
last Sunday, throws the blame OF the success
Of the rebel cavalry in crossing the Potomac
at Whites Ford upon Gen. Stoneman, who
did not report himself there until after the
crossing was accomplished. He says that 1t
was impossible for him, with one fourth the
force of the rebels, and both horses and men
faded out by long travel, toprevent their cross
ing. Had Gen. Stoneman arrived there, as he
should have DONE before they reached the river
and occupied the ford, the whole rebel force
might have been bagged.

Iron IN WAsHoE aluable and extensive
iron mines have been discovered about two
miles north of Dayton, within three hundred
yards of Carson river. The Territorial Enter
prise says:
The ledge is about one hundred and fifty
feet IN width. and the ore has been tested and
found to be OF the best quality. Some Speci-
mems which we have been shown are as fine as
we have ever seen, and we should judge con-
tanned from eighty to min y per pent- of iron
The ledge has been located. and a company
called The " Pacific Railroad Iron Company
is being organized to work it. From J. R.
Sproule. who is directing his energies to this
object. we learn it is the design to erect smelt-
ing works and foundries as soon as possible,
and ultimately to annex machine shops, rolling
mills, etc. The presence of unlimited water
Iower and the ease with which coal can be
btained from the neighboring BEDS give great
advantages to this enterprise, aud render it
quite feasible.

THE INDIAN DIFFIoULHEs.-A correspond
ent of the Territorial Enterprise attributes the
origin of the present trouble 10 the hostility of
the Pitt River Indians, who have been doing
all they could to persuade Winnemucca into
joining them, without success. One cause of
the enmty of the Pitts is the death of chief
called Smoky Hill SAM whom they suppose
to have been shot by the Honey Lake people,
and another, the fact of the Pi-Utes having
received presents from Government. The Pitts
having crowded down to somewhere in the Vi
cinity of Pyramid Lake. with the avowed de-
termination of committing predatons on the
whites for the purpose of bringing them
against the Pi Utes, in order to force Winnie
mucca to join them in the war. Winnemucca
is perfectly aware of their designs and intends
starting with those of his people who live near
the lake. to the country of the Bannocks, with
which people he is on good terms The Pitts
do not design approaching any of our large
towns, but will hang upon the outskirts of the
settlements to pick off small parties and steal
cattle.
Other parties insist that general Indian
war is impending. citing as good evidence the
hostility of the savages in various widely sepa-
rated localities, and the withdrawal of the Pi
Utes from the settlements.

that heretofore received has been mainly from
