THE WAR IS OVER.

Tire Militia Ordered Home From Sullivan. Adj. Gen. Robbins, Thursday, by order of Gov. Matthews, ordered all troops in the field to report at Indianapolis. Early in the morning the Governor received an official dispatch from Judge Briggs, stating that there was no further need of the troops. The same information was conveyed to him several days ago by Sheriff Mills, but that official's influence with the gubernational department has been oif the wane since his recent spat with the Governor, and it was decided to await Judge Brigg's decision. The troops arrived at Indianapolis, Thursday evening, at 7 o’clock. Friday evening a public reception was given to the sun-burned veterans at the State House. Speeches of congratulations were made by Goy, Matthews, Hon. John L. Griffith's, Mayor Denny and others. promenade concert followed and the “war” was declared to be a thing of the past.
