INDIAN DErREDATIoNs ON TIE Rio GRAyDE.-
BY the last accounts from Texas it appears that the
Indians the Rio Grande frontier are becoming
very troublesome to both the Americans and Mex
leans In their neighborhood. Not only is the
United States government bound to protect its own
citizens who live on the confines of the Indian
territory, but it has also assumed by the recent
treaty OF Guadalupe, to protect, to certain extent
the Mexlcans, who have hitherto been the greatest
sufferers from the incursions of the Camanches
the Lipans, and the Apaches. Having, then, under
lis care and protection all the nhabitants Anne
rlcan and Mexican, that dwell in the valley of the
Rio Grande, the United States should provide
force sufficient to repel the nroads of the Wild
fierce tribes which hang about that region, and
Keep the whites In n state of constant anxiety for
their property and families. So far, very small
force has been provided for this frontier and the
little force there ls composed almost entirely of
lnfanuy. The Indians are mounted, well equipped
with arms. and slngularly bold and daring in their
attacks. Hence the necessity for cavalry, not only
10 keep The Indians of from the white settlements,
but to follow the savages into their villages, and
teach them TO fear well to hate the pale faces.
The Indians on our present frontier are, we
imagine, the last that our government will be
called on TO subduc and conquer. Hitherto our
borders have been constantly enlarglng, and the
line Of frontier defence has consequently been con-
tinually extending; but hereafter any acquisition
Of territory on the part Of the United Stateswill

FROM TExAs.-We have received our files of
Texas papers to a very late date. The Houston
papers state, that myriads of beetles, about an
inch in length, have appeared in the oak uplands of
ties. They feed the foliage of the forests, and
as yet have done no injury to the crops The frost
has caused great injury. in Texas. The corn in
many places is backened, and large portion of
planting all their fields that have been injured
Much sickness prevails along the routes at the
West taken by California emigrants. The 1ac-
graph says" Mr. Osbun, of this city, who was
engaged as an agent Of Messrs. Brown and Tar
boX, lately died at or near Austin, and Mr.. Chap
man, enc OF the stage-drlvers, has also died on the
road to Bexar, of disease resembling cholera
The passengers who have arrived from the west,
Cured at Austin, Bexar, Independence and New
Brunfels, and TIE disease is remarkably vlrulent
Several cases have also occurred among the troops
at Loredo: The disease in Bexar appears to have
created quite panic among the Mexicans, owing,
probably, to the recollection that it was remark
ably virucnt there when the epidemic prevailed
throughout the Southern States IN 1888" The
Texas papers object to the selection made by the
War Department of the line of the Preside del
Rio Grande, as point of connection for military
posts, instead of the Preside del Norte, as being
too near the present settlements.
LATER:-By the steamship Fanny, which arrived
last evening, We. received files of Galveston papers
up to the 9th ult and from Corpus Christi as late
the 2lst. From them we take the following
Items
The Corpus Christi Star says that Col Hardee,
who with two companies of the I'd Dragons, ar
rived at San Antonio on the 81 inst, from Rio
Grande City, via Laredo lost some eighteen or
twenty of his command on the road by cholera
The Victoria Advocate, Of the 18th inst, says
that on the 23d ult., party of Indians came into
the neiehborhood Of Seguin, and stole from the
farms OF Il. b. Thomson, J. A. Johnson and Judge
A. Harris, some forty head of horses

diminish rather than increase the extent of our
boundary lines. But the tribes that at present
wander about the Rio Grande, as well the
quieter tribes which dwell between the head Wa
tiers of the Del Norte and the Pacific, must share
the fate of the Atlantic and Mississippi tribes We
are afraid however, that there will be considerable
difficulty with the tribes OF Western Texas There
is clearly but one course for the government to pur
and the more vigorously the policy is carried
out, the less expensive it will be for us, and the
less cruel will il be for the Indians. tits evidently
vain tor us to try to concli!ate these tribes they
mistake the spirit of Cancellation for fear, and have
no idea of power softened and controlled by mercy.
Hence we have no resource left but. to carry on
hostites against them so vigorously as to com
rletely cripple them and take away from them the
power, if not the WILL of harning. -NeW Orleans

MUTINY ND''AssAuIr AT SEA.-The ship Equity,
Capt. Nayson, from Liverpool, arrived here on Sa-

ed with assault on Capt. Nayson, with intent to
Kill HIM, while on the voyage, We learned that
some days after leaving Liverpool, and knowing
that no one but the steward had access to his
draws, he one day asked about it. The negro at
once assumed II very impudent tone and used very
face. The scoundrel attacked him with the fury
of tiger, and had not the mate fortunately heard
the noise occasioncd by the scuffle and rushed in
to the cabin, it is thought he. would have killed
