Indian Ners--IHe Frontier War Opcn-From
an extra from the State Gazette office, we learn
that on the 81 instant Capt. Baylor entered the
upper Reserve with fifty men, or as the Waco
Democrat says, " charged through the Reserve"
and killed fifteen Indians. Having done this he
and his band fed They were pursued after n
laps" OF four or five days by Capt King and one
hun'1rcd drnCnons. also one hundred mounted
Indians. Since then the Indians Of the lower
Reserve have quit their farms and arc encan,pcd
i'll Capt. Ross yard.
The Waco S',utherner learns that the attack
was simply charge through the Agency. Only
one v"iley was fired an.i the company Of Capt
Baylor immediately retrented. The whnlc
country is in n blaze of excitement. A paper
had bren sent into the Reserves with seventy
lvc signatures, demanding that Ne,ghbors and
Ross should Immediately resign their positions as
agents.
This, il appears to us, is the breaking out of
the long threatened war between the frontier
citizens and the Reserve Indians aud what il
will result in is hard to say. On the one hand
we have the whole frontier in a state Of excite
mcni, thoroughly convinced that the Indians on
the Reserve have been stealing their horses and
cattle, aud killing their people. and long Since
determined that the Reserves should be moved
and all the red skins, whether wild or tame
should be driven IRON the country. On the other
we sec tho Reserve Indians aud their agents.
HI Stou,ly protesting their Innocence; and de.
manl'ng that their rights in the Reserves should
hc protected. We also see that these Reserves
are under the protection Of the United States
Government.
Capt. Baylor is a leader among those OF the
frontier citizens who have formed the determi-
nation TO drive out the Reserves. And this
onslongh Of his was evidently intended as the
fire. brand to set the frontier in n blaze What
the motive of either party may be, we cannot
pretend TO judge. and what the consequences Of
this attack will be Cod only knows. We shall
look with fearful anxiety for news from the from.
tier by each mail now. We expect to hear of
all the horrors Of all open frontier Indian war

Another Prinesss on the Tapis.-The London

place this Easter at Windsor, the presence of
the Princess may be looked for at the following

The Allo,oanee to tho French Soldiers-The
allowance granted to the French soldiers is not
sumpluous. A recent letter says "Speaking of

allowance for the keep of French eoldi ers is six
sous for Two meals day. Some of our friends
in England seem to think that these gallant fell
lows are fed on Pate de fois gras or, at any rate,
that tho barruck cooking is quite artistic and
delicious Now, the fact is simply this French
soldiers in garrison have, every day Of their
lives. two basins of soup with the strings in it,
which they call meat. aud perhaps a few bits OF
onion or vegetable by way Of giving it flavor !;
