WAR CLAIMS.

Lieutenant Governor Adams, Ex-
officio Adjutant General of the State
Militia, is now at Eureka investigating
claims against the State for transpor-
tation and supplies during the late
Indian troubles. The Sentinel says
1.-THE idea is to get those claims into
tangible shape. SO that neither the
parties who furnished supplies nor
the State will be wronged in the final
settlement of the accounts" The
Governor, as commander in chief of
the Militia, is anxious that those claims
be officially recognized, while the mat
ter is fresh in the minds of all, and
thus remove the possibility of fraud
being perpetrated against the State.
There is no money in the State Treasury
applicable to the payment of those
claims at present, but it is expected
that the Legislature at its next session
will make an appropriation sufficient to
pay all bills audited by the Adiutant
General. The Sentinel is of the
opinion that the total amount for
which the State is responsible will
not exceed few thousand dollars, as
all the horses pressed into service have
been returned.
The faroical termination of the
"bloodless Indian war; has afforded
many persons a pretext for finding
fault with the Governor. whose action,
now that it is shown that there was no
real danger. they consider rather hasty
Thinking people, however, attach no
Importance to such insinuations. The
Governor in calling out troops and
ordering them to seize transporta-
ton, did nothing more than his duty
as COMMANDMENTS thief. The author
tiles of Lincoln and White Pine
counties, called on him officially for
assistance to suppress an Indian out
break in remote frontier settlements,
and the prompness with which he re-
sponded proves that no red tape :"
considerations were permitted to jeop-
ardize the lives of his constituents.
Had the outbreak proved as serious as
was at first supposed, the men who are
now disposed to grumble at the incon-
siderate haste with which troops were
ordered to the front at the expense of
the State, would have growlsd much
louder if the Governor had hesitated,
aud waited for more authentic informa.
ton than the appeals of Sheriffs and
County Commissioners for arms and
men.

A dispatch from Cherry Creek last

on Tuesday last. A courier bearing

correspondent, reached the arest

Our dates are from Spring Valley, near

substance of the information trans
mitted: On Tuesday last small party
of Shoshones sent out by the head war
chief, Gunneson, returned, bringing
with them the Indian who murdered
James Toland, the prospector from
Eureka. The dad Indian" was sur
rendered to IAdian Agent Gheen. who
turned him over to Lieutenant Jiager

asmuch as he was q notorious wicked
redskin, and one who was under the
ban of outlawry from his own tribe for
the attempted commission of similar

are said to be satisfied with the result,
and it is now believed that all of the
troubles are over. Our courier met

MR.. EDIToR:-Spelling bees are all the
GO. These bees make very lively and CON-
Portable pastime, and would be very useful
if they were conducted in a proper manner;
but when they take the shape of gambling
or spelling for money or prizes, think it
is not profitable to a community in moral
sense. This appears to be the course pur-
sued everywhere. think they should be
conducted without money or prizes.
Cowantown is small post town of some
Importance and is situated short distance
from the selvage of the Delaware State
line, or to be more exact, about midway
between Cherry Hill and Newark; of late
years it has been called "Turkey Town"
1t is difficult, however, to fiji the exact status
of that town. 1t is by no means seaport
town; indeed it is an inland town, several
miles from tide water, although vessels of
light draught sometimes work themselves
up from the port of Elkton, but they are
small crafts, holding about a gallon, con,
signed to the town clerk.
The town proper, consists of store (of
course, blacksmith shop, several dwelling
houses, and few stunted cherry trees, and
is supposed to have been first settled by
Mr.. Cowan. 1t is very little troubled with
strikers, all the strikers being chiefly con-
fined to the blacksmith shop and store.
Our esteemed friend, the town clerk, is
the head center of the town. To him all
the knotty questions, legal or otherwise,
are submitted, and his decisions are gen.
orally final. Indeed he is the justice of
the peace of that respectable town. But
in justice to him it must be said that he
never made the law his entire study, which
makes his opinion little unreliable.
When will the proprietor level off the
unsightly mounds of sticky clay around his
head quarters? is a question that all advo-
Gates for improving the appearance of the
Turkeys coop, are agitating.
