The Portland brings q ston papers to the 10th,
and those from the interior of earlier dates. We
CLEAN the following ltems:-
The news from the frontier is indicative OF ge-
neral Indian war The letter Of our correspondent
at the Waco Village has given us some facts
which show the apprehensops of some of our
frontier citizens, who have held daily intercourse
with the border tribes for the last years, and
who probably not alarmed without good cause.
We have learned also that Major Neighbors, who
arrived in town day or two ago, states that the
Camancbes have declared that they have had
plumber enough, and that now they will have
blood.
The Houston Ttsgro,h says.-We are happy to
learn that Gov. Bell has determined 10 convene
the Legislature In the fore part of November. He
will probably submit the propositions OF the gene
raj government respecting our boundary to the
people, that they may vote upon them in time TO
instruct their Representatives whether they shall
accept them. We infer that the propositions are
far more favorable 10 Texas than Gov Bell ex-
Pected, as We are informed that his opinions have
undergone a great change since he has been fur
nished with copy Of the bill as amended In the
House OF Representatives.
We are indebted to Capt. Baker, of the u, s,
steamer Fashion, which arrived in this port yester
day evening, tor the following letter -
