THE TEXAS FRoNTIER.-1n view Of the out
RACES recently committed by the Indians on The
fionters of Texas, and the many false and un-

lion by the Democratic journals in relation to
that matter, we publish the following particu-
lars
! The military force now stationed within the
| limits of Texas consists Of two companies Of
the Sd Dragons, twenty companies OF infantry,
two companies of the 18th artillery, and three
companies of mounted volunteers. making in
all force Of three reg men,s or about fourtcCf
hundred men. According to instructions re-
ceived from the proper department, all these
troop. are at the presen, time engaged IN pa
trolling tho country, and we are assured tina,
Everything that can will be done to protect the
inhabitants Of that remote frontier.
When the extent of that country is remem-
bercd, and also the fact that evl-disposed In
dians are apt 10 commit lhei. depreddlions far
removed from the military posts, it is not TO be
wondered at tina, outrages should occasionally y
occur, and that the olf-ndere should for time
escape punishment And it may be mention.

toned by the United States Government on
the frontier of Texas, for It's protection, great
Ily exceeds that which was mustered by tina,

STEAMBOAT STOLEN IN PORTLAND
The small steamer Experiment was stolen
on Friday night from the Ferry Wharf in
Portland. On Sunday, Mr. Chadlcr, one
of the owners, began to look round tor
his property-and taking sloop started
to hunt her up. Getting down to Trun-
dy's Reef, he discovered the Experiment
about six miles to the eastward. Having
come up with her, found only young
man aboard, by the name of VIM. Place,
of Augusta. The water was entirely ex-
haustcd from the boiler, and the engine
had stopped, anchor over, and thirty
fathoms hawser out. 1t was a great
wonder that she did not blow up, as they
evidently had had large fire going, and
knew nothing of the management OF an
engine. Two men were seen to escape
from her in small boat to Cape Eliza
beth. They intended, Place said, TO
carry her to Portsmouth, paint her over,
and run her for ferry boat. When they
took her, they cut a hole in her stern and
sculled her out Of the han Dor, 30 avoid

A CHAPTER ON ROADS,

Suited to this Rigion Of The Country.
Finding the excitement recently stirred up by
Messrs Tompkins and Preston, through the public
journals subsiding las it should the road having now
taken decided progress the upper route) it be-
comes the friends Of good roads of which the writer
processes to be one, to be weary in their efforts
whilst the waters are troubled to secure these i'm
ptovements wherever they deem to be most needed
1t is confidently believed that all the friends Of the
lower route, want could reasonably ask may be OBJ
tanned BY petition to the Legislature, at its coming
winter session. Simply petition for arm or branch
of the Rocky Mount Turnpke-to begin at the point
of the recent departure from the lower route to con-
tinue it to kaseys and then through the southern
part of Franklin to Henry Court House. This would
be but very small favor, the Legislature would hard
iy refuse it. Be remembered, goody distance of
the is already located, preparation for road a.
ready made, and stock taken. here would be gen
era and sincere wish that this petition should succeed
and for many reasons the most important of which is
the greatly increased chance Of securing County sub
Scriptlons to both arms Of the improvement. With
north and south Franklin accommodated with a road
and to be accommodaed by levy wherefore could not
levy be made? And Bedford, too. There would
be the splendid Bridge across Otter, two bridges
Staunon. Many lesser streams substantially bridged
and two graded roads meeting in the midst Of her cit
liens. How could she refuse liberal subscription
especially if portion of it given to the rail road
as it should be- Henry would be certain follow the
good example
But let not Individuals suppose, however, that all
the of making good roads is to be rained down
upon them In this billy country mile of turnpike,
all expenses included from four to six hun
dred dollars If the State is liberal enough to pay three
fths of that sum- individuals if able and wanting the
road, ought to be willing to pay the balance If a
man wants the road and being able, is not willing to
pay part of the twohfths he is rather unreasonable
If he wants the road and pays nothing for makingt
but claims pay for any little slip Of land it may
Ply, any little trouble in fencing it may OCCASION
why then the thing rather unjust and unreasonable
Even when does not want the road be ought be
liberal for the sake of his friends, who do want it.
Then let the leading the line designated wake
9-let the liberal and public spirited every where
nd helping hand-let the Legislature be memoir
allied, and let good old Virginia. the mother of he
and statesmen be also DIETER late than never
the mother Of good roads
