MEASURES TAKEN FOR TIE PROTECTION OF
THE FRONTIER
As soon as the news Of the Indian troubles
reacksd the city, GOV. Ramsey Vent to Fort
Smelling, ard orders were given for fonr con-
panies TO be ready to E1art at once for the
scene Of the disturbances. The esmmSnd ct
the expedition was given to ex-Goy- Sibley.
The whole matter was c0ndded to his dis
cretioD, and, from his knowledge Of the coun-
Try and Of Indian character, there can be
little doubt Of lis success in preventing fur
ther outrages. We doubt, however, whether
he VIII be able to find single Indian when he
arrives at the reservation II he had one or
two companies Of cavalry they might posi-
bly, be Oyertaken. The miscreanrs deserve
such 4 measure Of yegeance as they have
never yet received, srd NC hope 1t viii be ad-
mini6tered in the style Of Gen Harney If they
are ever caught.
