THE TEXAS FRONTIER

In view of the outrages recently committed by
the Indians on the frontiers of Texas, and of the
many false and unworthy accusations leveed at the
Administration by the Democratic journals in rela-
ton to that matter, we publish the following parti-
culars
The military force now stationed within the limits
OF Texas consists OF two companies of the second
dragons, twenty companies of infantry, two COM
panles OF the fourth artillery, and three companies
OF mounted volunteers; making in all force of
three regiments, or about fourteen hundred men,
According to instructions received from the nroper
Department, all these troops at the present time
engaged in patrolling the country, and we are as
sured that every thing that be will be done to
protect the inhabitants of that remote frontier.-
When the extent of that frontier is remembered
and also the fact that evi-dsposed Indians are ant
to commit their depredations far removed from the
military posts, 1t is not to be wondered at that ont
RACES should occasionally occur, and that the often
ders should for a time escape punishment And it
may be mentioned III this connexion that the force
now stationed by the United States Government on
the frontier of Texas for its protection greatly ex
ceeds that which was mustered by that section of
country when it was republic and at enmity with
Mexico.-Nat. INT,

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS.
What are the words but little shirts
That fit the world about,
Stealing every thinkers THOUGHT
And titful fancy out:
Shaping every wild conceit.
And prejudice and doubt!
Thousand shapes they wear;
Graceful, grim, uncouth, sedate.
From lip to lip they fare.
Joys, Hopes, live ntion's harbingers
Or heralds ofDespair.
Law imprisons many one
In her parchments old
Priestcratt tortures, until thew
a double sense unfold;
Iyrants and traitors manple them
And misers too-for gold.
Rainbow winged, in sunny Iipbt
From maiden's lips they glide;
Laden from the lovers heart
Like honey-bees they slide;
Strong and stern, they bear alott,
