INDIAN TROUBLES. The Commissioner of
Indian Affairs at Washington has received a
private letter, dated June 22d. stating that
the Camanches are nightly engaged in extern
sive depredations. Gen. Cooper, abe Choctaw
and Chickasaw agent, had just started for
Waskita, when the troubles commenced, but
an express had been sent requesting his re-
turn. There were but six white men at Fort
Arbuckle, and the post might be taken at any
moment. The Camanches are very much ir-
aitated by the losses they sustained in the re-
cent conflict with the Texan. rangers.
The order for the march of the second cav
airy to Fort Leavenworth has been counter
manded, and that regiment will remain on
duty in the department.

OUR RAILWAY TRAINS are run too fast.
LOOK at the recent disasters, says the Albany
journal. "It was a train going half mile
a minute, that made the fatal plunge through
the Sanouoit bridge. 1t was a train, running
forty miles an hour, that was preeipitated
down the Shin Hollow embankment, killing
and manning. The train that went crashing
into the river on the Lafayette and Indisnap-
oils road was Cincinnati express train. The
train that pitched off the track at Penn Yam,
was a New York express train. Al these
disasters have happened since the summer
time tables were adopted in May, increasing
the average speed. 1t is always SO. One of
these wholesale, frightful sacrifices of life and
limb rarely happens except 70, or by means OF,
a train at high speed. But the travelling
public love to ride in one of these lightning
runs, which whizzes them over the track at
a rate as dangerous as 10 is delightful. They
love speed which grinds the rails, racks the
axles, strains the timbers, renders it impossi-
bic to stop in time to avoid accident, and en-
sures death and destruction when accident
does occur. So the danger is incurred to
to please the passengers.
The Dramas laws the Dramas patrons give,
And those who live to please, must please to llye'
And by similar necessity railway mana
gers are forced to adopt time tables to suit
public opinion, though they know the hazard
of accident, and the certainty of rniuous
wear and tear which they involve. Speed
should be proportioned to strength of mater
ial. This is not a matter of chance, but OF
calculation. Given the speed Of train, and
the strength of wood and iron, it is mere sum
in arithmetic to determine whether car can
be crushed to atoms, or can only be Wrenched
and jolted, by going off the track. Speed
should be the secondary, safety the primary
consideration. Better arrive an houg later,
than run the risk of being killed or manned
for life, on the way
