rarss ne have been those u our Northwestern from
tier; and after suffering untold sosrows ana msior-
tunes thyif l,strcsses are eliminating 20 the highest
| pitch. The remedy need not be expected from tho
Federal Government; IT 10 too SLOW in roirossiug our
wrong. thp rcculnr troops aro inefficient tor indian
warfare rad the only hope must vest in the speedy
rais,ag of 'oiun,eer troop Of rangers with full pay,
that will the country and drive the sayages from
our border
| We regret to learn that Mrs Cornett was not re-
leased by the Indians, were informed by gen.
tleman from Parker county. She is yet in captivity,
and who imagine the horror Of her situation -
1t is enough to awaken in every breast the dormant
fire Of patriotism and incto every to rush to her
rescue and restore her to the bosom Of her family.
| An earnest appeal is made to the citizens of this
county and all Others to enlist for the protection of
men, children and property on the frontier; those
who cannot 60 themselves contribute something
to aid others to start, to remunerate those who
have gone already. The greatest praise is due to
Capt. Hammer, of Jack county, whose disnterested
chvalry in searching for the lost lady, entities him
to the admiration of the state We feel assured that
the present Legislature will not neglect the cause Of
many of our peoples but thing is certain, men
,c not enlist, unless Texas will guarantee prompt
payment for their services; the Federal Government
is too slow, and the suerings Of these people cannot
be imagined by those who live remote from the scene
of danger, and from its immediate inhuence--but
their appeals should not be slghted. To dwell in the
midst Of alarms is horrible enough; but alarms are
not a-there is actual danger to life and property,

We say to the Legislature, gire them speedy protec-
ton.

much disturb ed frontier And though the excite
