We have large body of regular troops in and about
this city at present, who anticipate orders to proceed
south The California soldiers prefer going East but there
can DC no doubt OF the good policy of keeping respecta
PIE force here In short the best mode of avoiding rou
Die would be to have at hand sufficient force to put down
the slightest manifestation Of sedon In this view 1t
would be well to employ the troops raised here in protect
ing the frontiers from Indian depredatos, and thus pre-
pare them Tor the more rugged and dangerous duty Oh
meeting white foe. 1t is rsmored that body OF Texans
