WAR

Chas. III. La Force, formerly con-
nected with the SENTINEL as local re-
porter, last night received q dispatch
from the proprietors of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, directing him to pro-
coed at once to the front for the pur-
pose OF narrating by telegraph and
otherwise everything pertaining to the
Indian war in White Pine. Charley
left some time during the night, and
we doubt not he will get to the scene of
active hostilities quite as soon as some
OF those who started earlier. He took
with him a Chronicle Gift Map, which
will enable him to tell the exact posi-
ton OF the enemy at all times. We
presume he also has balloons for taxi
ing birds eye views Of the situation,
and we have heard it asserted that he
was provided with instruments to take
the telegraph wires at any point, thus
enabling him to forward to the Gron-
fcte the latest, speediest and most reli-
able information from the seat of war.
He goes, of course, as a non-combat-
tant, but If the regular troops should
fail to execute such startling work as
will be acceptable to his paper he may
possibly take the field in person and
slaughter a few hundred OF the
"plumed warriors OF the DESERT" just
to fill the Chronicles bill for bloody
details. captain Jack in the Lava
Beds" was a pretty fair sensation of
the kind, but we shall expect to see it
eclipsed in the blood curdling head
lines of the Chronicle when it m to
giving full particulars of operations in
Cave Valley and the mountains of the
Snake Range. We believe Charley did
not take the precaution to make his
will before departing.

DARWIN CITY.-The Phoebe Journal
Of the 4th says: From a letter ra-
ceived yesterday by Xiv Phillips from
Hon. Thos. w. Wallace, who is now
so%journing at Darwin City, we learn
that it promises to be a very lively
camp. Many people are running in
there, and those in quest of work are
promptly furnished it in the mines.
San Francisco capitalists have the ut
most condolences as to its becoming a
second Comstock.

OPINION OF GENERAL RosECRANs.
General Rosecrans, who resides at
Egan Canyon, where he is engaged in
mining enterprises, telegraphs that be-
yond question the present Indian
troubles in Eastern White Pine are in
stigated and promoted by the Mormon
priesthood. We don't know upon
what the General bases his opinion,
but it is quite probable that he has
good reason fer all he states.

Our Ride to Litchfleld

Probably most Litchfield people know all about ii, but we want some other portions of the universe to know of it, and of the kindly reception with which we met for which we cannot too fully express our thanks. Our Band have been subjected to severe drill for three months, with but little opportunity of showing of. A concert at the hall and one or two excursions on the steamboat have been the only chances of displaying their musical ability. Such confinement could not long be endured.
 Having ascertained that our presence in Litchield might be enjoyed, we con- cluded to make trip there. and for that purpose engaged team and an elephan- tine vehicle of Mir. Geo. S. Coggswell and were driven there, four-in- hand ,on Thurs day evening. July 8. Arriving in town we found Mir. Eugene Meafoy, Q cornet player and member of the Litchfield Quintet Club, awaiting us. To him we wish to express our gratitude for assist ance and efforts in our behalf. At eight o'clock we took up 6 position on the green in front of the Mansion House and played for an hour. Then we were invi- ted to partake of collation., to which we did ample justice. for the long ride and an hours blowing had sharpened our appetites. After this we were marched about town, serenading at the postofice, Mir. J. Deming Perkins, and the three hotels. At every place we were we'll re- ceived and all our wants supplied. unless it was our want of capacity.
 Though Litchfeld hills are sometimes cold and bleak, we found the hearts of its people warm and overfowing with hospitality. We thank them most heart fly for their kindness to us.
 It was after midnight when we were ready to depart. If any were disturbed in their slumbers they must not blame us, for we could not get away till we had ''been around" After a two hours ride we arrived in New Preston, pretty tired but not very hungry or thirsty. One fellow of nervous temperament tried to sleep, but at 9 @. m. his efforts were still unavaihng. The doctor was sent for, a narcotic was administered, and in & short time he was brought to insensibility and forgetrulness of his joys on Litchfeld Hill. BANDKR.

''Infiation" got double whack in one day, last week, at the West. The Wiscon- sin Republicans in their State Convention passed the following resolution:
 That we favor the early attainment of a currency convertible with coin, and there fore advocate the gradual resumption of specie payments by continuous steps in that direction in such . manner as to dis turb the business interests of the country as little as possible. In Minnesota the Democrats passed the following resolution at their State Conven. ton. in which they advocate,
 A return to gold and silver as the basis of the currency of the country, with pre- paration and effective measures to secure the resumption of specle payments.
 This shows that the favorite dodge of demagogues, not long since. is losing it's force in the very section of the Union where it was supposed to be strongest. In Ohio, however, the Democracy have clung to the old Pendletonian fallacy and we should not be surprised if they caught sound thrashing in consequence.
