5,h, which presented the situation Of
matters as they then existed aud were
known at Boise City. | am informed
that the hostile party or portion of
them have reached point about 80
miles south of Silver City. The mail
connection with Kelton is now complete.
tn ugh all freight teams are in Status
Quo. The Statesman Of the 9th con-
ts,ns but little additional information.
Tn, whole of the Southern counties is
in state Of alarm, though. bnt two cr
three persons have yet been killed ST
far as known, much robbiny and plum
dering has been already done. and great
interruption of travel has taken place.
The mails from the east now come over
the Nlnnemucca route. Gen. Wheaton
informed me that I companies have been
ordered from McDowel.'e department to
c,me via railroad, and that it is not ex-
pected that all the troops from this side
now enroute will be required. aud that
some OF them may soon return. The
determination among the Ulcers here is
t. not diminish tho forces belonging in
this division any more than seems ab>o
lufety necessary. and therefore the set
tiers need not tear that they will be lef'
without protection. 1t seems that the
Cows. permission to Buffalo Horn t"
obtain ammunition only embraced s.

bled at Science Hall. and at IL II. Col. George
of Wails Walla. called the convention to order
| whereupon Col. Larahee, of Seattle moved tina
the delegate from Idaho become the Presidin
pro tenn Of the convention, which motion Wa
seconded. but before the question was put, tn
delegate from Idaho acknowledged the comp e
ment thus given TO Idaho. but declined TO as
sumo the position on the ground tha' his posi-
ton in the convention WINS simply by act o
courtesy on the part Of the legislature of Wash
ington, as n consulting delegate. without he n
even an eector Of Washington. without 4 vot
in the convention. and therefore it would not b
good rolicy that permanent organizati"
| should in any manner he effected through hi
ADMINISTRATION as chairman. lest it might suhiec
the proceedings to great cavil among tho disni
fected element who were seeking to oppose
state constitution. II was not the extrem
