wheat Growers sn Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6sh.--A
| convention of grain growers of the
State held meeting this afternoon
and resolved to issue circulars to
grain growers throughout the

crop Of the State and the partial
failure of European harvests, to
hold grain for % per cent. advance.
The convention will meet again q
week from Wednesday, when q
large attendance is expected.
From sb- sns Carlos Agent.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6th.--The
following is from Tiffany: One of
Santos's band, who came in from
Cibiou, says that the White Noun
tain Indians tried to get some San
Carlos and Chiricahuas to Join
them. They refused and are COM
ing into the agency. The Gibieu
or White Mountain Indians, who
fought General Carr, are very near
the junction of the White and
Black rivers. They sent word by
this Santos IndianI that they were
not going out, but were going to
stay where they were, and If the
soldiers wanted them, to try to
take them. 1t is reported to me
that some of Pedro's baud of White
Mountain Indians are down on
Ash creek. If so, they are prob
ably watching the movements of
the troops towards Apache, either
to convey the news to the Indians
there, or to ambush or to attack
the rear. Lieutenant Glass and
company Of thirty-tbree men ar
rived here this evening, and can
take care of this agency with them
and what more / have. We had
an alarm this evening, which
proved a false one, but while out
with the Indian scouts found San
Carlos Indians coming in to defend
the agency, and the whole band of
Yumas and Mejaves came up for
the same purpose. believe If the
troops now here are allowed to stay
and get guns ordered to me with
ammunition, I can stand off all the
hestiles that want to come. Isay
this SO as not to embarrass you in
moving your other available troops
to any point you may desire.
TIFFANY, Agent.
