We have no reason to dcubt the information az Civ.
Ell above and We regret that so melancholy state
ment of facts is presented in our columns We know
that the Frontier viii be Inc sufferer by this contin-
ual agitation aud excitement 1t will retard ts
SgrGwth and settlement many years and will drive
the friendly tribes into desperate acts Of revenge
upon deenseless people, and viii result in unnum.
bered nseres upon innocent citizens, who may settle
in that portion of the State We would call upon the
citizens of the frontier counties to turn to the side
order, and lend helping hand to suppress such OUT
RACES. When assured that the Indians will be re-
aanoved by the general government, why notdiscon-
tinue measures so extreme and revolving to every
seHse of justice and proprety, Why be the dupe o
agtators who make your position and yourselves tn;
means of their personal advancement end private
ends? As FIR ws nave learned, there seems to be
Considerable amnesty against the army Os well as
against the Indians It appears be the duty of ev
cry orderly aud peaceful citizen to discountenance
such proceedings committed in the narse of the
frontier.
In addition TO the above, have heard that
al hundred men had assembled at Jackboro, there t.
await she attack expected from the Reserve Indians
and the army and If not attacked themselves, they
would in tlrn march upon the Reserve and 'wi3e i

pieeeof information, but give ii Se heard it, an,
DO not ouch for it.
