The Northern Frontier.

We G,rc highly gratifcd on yesterday to meet our
inde!atigablc Indian Agent, Major Robert s. Neigh
bors, in town. Major Neighbors reports every thing
quiet IN le frontier and in the Reserves lie gives
very gratifying account Of the working Of the hui
mano policy adopted on the Norhcrn frontier, Of col
onizing the Indians. 1t is succeeding most cmincnty
The Indians ara building cabins and gradually bccom
ing agriculturazed. Those in the reserve arc con-
tented and well satisfied and parties Of the northern
bands continue occasionally to come in. Their corn
crop fail ed the past season. The early corn was dcs-
troyed by grnsshopters and the later crop was cut
short by the drouth. This has hal tendency to dis
courage them to extent but they are willing to
make another effort. Major Neighbors will introduce
the culture Of wheat among them this season, which
is surer crop than corn He designs planting about
100 acrcs20 acres at each village, Of which there
are six in the reserves.
We regret to learn from Major Ncighbors that he
has determined TO resign his agency during the cnsu-
ing winter or spring. He has retained il for the last
four years at pccunary sacrifice. His salary is al
together inadequate to the duties of his APP
poirtmcnt The retirement of Major Neighbors will
be misfortune to the northern frontier. His place
clnnot be supplied. He originated and has carried
into succ ssiul practice the ceding policy in Texas
he has the entire confidence OF the Indians and eXer
ciscs an unhoundcd influence over them He has
faithfully applied the appropriations made by govern
mcnt t. the benefit of the Indians and by his econ
omical management and disbursement of them, has
saved thousands of dollars TO the government The
