INDIAN MURDERs.-We take the following ar
ticle from the Houston CTexas) Telegraph of the
7th inst:
We learn that Gen. Brooke has at length be-
come alarmed at the threatening attitude of the
savages frontier, and has wrtten.to the De-
partment at Washington calling for more troops to
strengthen the stations along the line of the Rio
Grande and between the Trinity and Nueces. He
has ascertained that the prairie tribes Of Texas have
been so hostile that the communication with E
Paso is almost entirely cut Off and small parties ol
emgTants and traders compelled to travel the
long and tedious route by the west bank of the
Rio Grande and through the Eagle Pass to reach
Ell Paso or BeXar. Even the route from Rexar to
Eagle Pass is infected with hostile savaues and
several persons have been murdered west of the
Medina. The whole Indian country is on fire. and
a general war seems about to burst forth from the
Rio Grande to the Red River and westward to the
Colorado of the West The Camanches, Apaches,
Lpans, Towaecanies Pawnees, Kioways Eutaws,
Arapahoes and several smaller tribes seem to have
combined all their strength to resist the progress OF
the white man in his to the Pacific. Blood
has been she'd and it is unerrng trait of the red
man that it must be avenged and we may look in
vain for peace until these powerful tribes arc hum
bed. We rejoiced that Gen. Brooke has be.
come convinced that the only true policy of the
Government is TO conquer the Indians at once, or
to overawe them with such display of military
force that they will see the utter impossibility OF
resistance"
CHoLERA,-The following is from the Telegraph
Of the same date:
"We regret to learn that the Cholera has again
made its appearance at lndianoa and Port Lavaca
gentleman who has lately arrived from the West
informs us that number OF the residents of those
towns have fallen victims to the disease. Several
German emigrants also have died on their way from
the coast to the colony"
Of Governor Trumbull, Of Connecticut, in a
proclamation recommending the 29rh of March as
a day of public fasting and prayer throughout the
State, among other excellent things for which the
