Governor Ful,on of the late territory of Arkansas In retiring from hls goyernshp, the duties of which he had with great ability and fidelity performed, throws out In his valedctory some observations which hope will not fall rulessly on the attention of the General Government. He speaks of the many powerful Indian tribes bordering the western limits of that State many o which, he adds, state of hostility with the United States, and suggests the necessity of hav ing permanent defensive works along the extended line o our southwestern roniiers being absolutely called for by the growing population scattered along this boun- dary, and Jeff, as il were. defenceless against the at tacks of their Indian neghbors.
 slhls necessary protection should be insisted by the states bordering the frontiers alluded to- as be- ing slaveholding states.
 Itis well known that large numbers of blacks joined themselves 10 the Indian forces in Florida, and have proved of great service te them in their depre datons on property, and savage massacres of the inhabitants
 W shall however despair of any permanent relief for the inhabitants of our south western frontiers If the suts of the disastrous neglect of Foda by the Geaer al Government. shall not have awakened prompt de- termination in Congress 10 have all our exposed points folly protected from the seaping knife and tomahawl ofthe infuriaed savage The same expenditure which the Creeks and Seminoes in Georgia and Florida have drawn from the treasury would probably very far in putting every part of the country that is exposed to Indian lncursions, in complete state of defence.
 By the application of expenditure judciously appro- prlaed now. millions may be saved to the country, and great destruction of life prevented for the future
 Although our President in a recent communication to the Governor of Tennessee would proclaim that no hostile disposition exists at present among the nus,er ous tribes the frontiers, still Is not less certain from the secrecy which marks the movements of the Indan that Tn moment when most unexpected he sounds the ocsn of war and with uncontrolled fury rushes up- on his unprepared victims.
 The late Governor of Arkansas Territory differs also from the Executive to there being no unsettled and hostile disposition the part of the tribes on the West frontier of that Slate, and speaks of their belliger rnt attitude in unequvocal terms.--.N. o. Bulletin

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Little Rock, 18th October, 1886.

Little Rock, 18th October, ls36 SIR:-i our letter of the 18th ns protesting against the issuance of commissions 10 the full number or any part of the individuals elected the 4th inst at Camp fose field officers of the regiment of Arkansas vo- unteers mounted gunmen, has been received. In re- ply have to inform you, that from documents on file in thls office, said election appears to have been con ducted with good order and nnanmity of acton (ex- cepting the accordance ofthe commanding oficer) and 10 have conormed with the acquisitions of general orr der from the Executive through the AdluaDt General o the Arkansas militia, bearing date the l2h of Sep tember, 1886.
 he opinion advanced in your communication, that the battalion which you command is not subject 10 the orders he Executive this Sate in consequence of being out of its limits, cannot sanction consider that the Executive Is not only authorised but required 10 organise the regiment for which the requistion of Gen. Gaines Is made and that too, in conformity with the militia laws of Arkansas and according to those laws the seven companies Tn question exceed thenum- Der allowed to baalion-and may of right, and must of ofneeessity be formed into a regiment.
 The returns of the election in question show the strength of each of the companies; and no one of them seems to be composed of less number than is authorised by militia laws: 10 average or equalze them, would give 10 each company more than fifty non-commissioned officers, musicians aud pri- yates.
 Although fl does not appear that said election was ordered and certified by the commanding officer as contemplated by the general order of the Aduant Ge neral; yet the evidence file n this office shows that he permitted it to take place; and 1t appearing to my entire satisfaction to have been so conducted as 10 ac cord with the true intent and meaning of said general order and believing the good of the service for which the regiment has been raised, requires its speedy or ganizaton feel bound in the discharge of my duty recognize said election organization of the reg- nent; and commissions will be issued to the indvidu als who have been elected to fill the offices of Colonel and Major, which the officers required to be elect ed ny the general order above referred to.
 The election returns show that Lieutenant Colon ei was also chosen as that office has heretofore been filled, no commission will be issued to the individual now returned as elected to it.
 Very respectfully,
 Your ob't serv't,

regiment by colonel Where, in the case before US. the second battalion for the major 10 commands or the baitaions, of fee companies each for the col ouel Should he commissions for all the field officers be issued the inevitable result would be that he randing General of the Department making the requ siton who has the entire control it, would dismiss from service the colonel and major, as supernumefa- ries further assume as a eofrecposition, that after acommaBd IS organized my battalion has been and sent beyond the limits of the Sate into the service Of inc United States, the poeT of the Executive of the State 10 control that command in any manner ceases absolutely, except simply for the purpose of issuing commissions as the agent of the United States. To create then, higher grade than lieutenant colonel in my command, IS not in the power of the Governor of Arkansas. This will be regulated under the direction of the commanding General, when sufficient number of companies or batalfons are mustered into servce- the elections held according to the laws of the State and the Governor, when notified of the fact by the Gen. eral making the requison the agent oi inc law will issue ihe commissions. 4 military commander cannot properly act under the orders oft powers at the sime. Nj command now constitutes part of the gar sison at Fort Towson, beyond the mls ot Arkansas, under the immediate orders of I Gol. fose of the Sd infantry, and is reported saeh the proper depart ssenS consequently the command of inc Governor of Arkansas has ceased He has now become only the instrument 10 issue commissions when the proper off cer of the army informs him of the name rank, &Jc. of those to be commissioned. For these reasons, and many others which might be gwen, contend that It would not be act fproprtely in your Exceency to issue commissions upon the unprecedented returns mentioned above. would further state in justice to the officers engaged in it, that the vote of their respect i've companies was taken without producing any disor der in camp-otherwise l should have promptly caused all concerned 10 be arrested, and to answer for i offence. Up to the 5h hinstant when turned over the command temporarily 10 the senior captain, and uroughed myself the highest degree of order and subordinalion ever known perhaps among volunteers similarly situated, prevailed. 1 trust that no act of your Excelency will have tendency to increase any little irregularities which fear may arise during my absence.
 have troubled your Excellency with this natter, because the distance to the General in command and the time which would require to have regularly n yestigated. might prove runons to little army, in whose prosperity feel deep interest, well for its own as for the character of the State. I would be pleased further to explain any difficulty which might present itself to your Excelency. ll
