FROM THE FRONTIER.
From the Saratoga Sentinel
| Maj. Gen. Macomb, commander-in-chi of
the U. S. army, arrived in this village on Sa,ur-
day from the north, and leaves to-day for the
Niagara frontier We are happy 10 learn from
him that the disturbances on the northern line
have entirely subsidized; and though feeling
very naturally exists among great proportion
ofour citizens favorable to the cause of frredo II
abroad as well as AT home, a respect for our laws
and desire to avoid any iniraclion of the ami
cable relations existing between our own and
the British government, will prevent any inter
ference in the internal relations of the Canadas.
! The presence of Gen. nj. within dirtrict OF
country where his services were so distinguished
and important during the last war, has undoubt-
eddy produced a very salutary influence; and we
have no doubt similar effect will result from
his visitation to the western frontier.
SMALL Pox AMONG THE NORTH WESTERN
INDIANs.-The Missouri Republican contains
the following paragraph, corroboratory of the
frightful ravages ofihe small pox among the
North Western Indians. Two of the most
powerful tribes seem to be almost extinct:
THE Steamboat antelope, belonging to the A
merican Fur Company, arrived at the wharf
yesterday, from the mouth of the Yellow Stone.
She brings about thousand packs, chiefly Buf,
faio Robes. The more valuable furs are on their
way down in Mackanaw boats, and will probab
~ be here in few weeks The Antelope re-
ports the river unusually low; she was detained
nearly two weeks by reason of this.
Inc agent OF the company reports that the
small pox had ceased its ravages amongst the
sioux, but was still raging amongst the Indians
higher up the Yellow Stone. Tho Assineboin
es are SAID to be extinct, and most of the Black
ieet have fallen victims. 1t was believed that
more than % 600 have died of the disease and
that 1t would not stop short ofthe Pacific Ocean.
SUICIDE BY THE TEXAN MINIsTER.-We
learn from the Lexington, Ky. Intelligencer of
the 18th instant, that Peter w. Grayson, Esq.
