"Niany families are now leaving the
frontier on account of these troubles, and
10 such an alarming extent do they exist,
that the people Of the above mentioned coun-
ties must suffer terribly, unless Gov. Ham
ilton or the Federal Government sends u

arrest, were bailed by the Chief Justice of
Hopkins county. Amount OF bail, Sl0,-
600 each. Other parties have been arrest

SoLpIERs ARR1vED.--0n Tuesday morn
ing company Of the 10th Pennsylvania,
cavalry, about fifty strong, md command
ed by Captain Hewitt, arrived in town.
For the first time, in four or five years we
are fully prepared to welcome federal SOL
dierg, and the only regret is that they are
so few in number. The Capt. declares his
purpose to assist the sheriff in keeping or
der and arresting criminals.--If the sold
flag" gives us the protection, we need so
much, all good citizens Will rejoice to sec
it waving over us.
Those who served the Confederacy faith
fully, are not the ones who are robbing and
msrauding through the country. They are
class of men who did not serve either
government during the war, but who have
been jayhawking promscuously. We trust
the soldiers will do their best to extermiu-
ate all Of that class.--Pdris Press.
BURNING OF FoRT WAsHITA.--We have,
heretofore accidentally omitted to publish
the particulars we learned with reference
10 the burning of the buildings at Fort
Wasbiia.
The fire took place on the night of Tues
day, August LIST, 1865, soon after dark
Mr.. Hamilton, who resides at Haisboro,
near the Fort saw bright light at the
Fort, in company with some friends, went
to the Fort, and found the officers quarters,
row of very comfortable and costly
buildings, on fire. He found no one about
the place, although it was clear that the
fire was the work of On incendiary. After
remaining about the place for some time,
be returned home, and on his return TO the
Fort the following morning, found that the
barracks were all consumed. The build
ings still remaining are the hospital, the
commisssry, and the old suffers store.
The buildings destroyed were very COM
Portable and were err eted at immense cost.
Their loss will be felt by the Chickasaw
Nation as wen as by the government II
10 probable that the buildings were des-
troyed by some fool, who imagined that he
was taking revenge on the United States
government by destroying public property.
We trust the government will take steps
10 exterminate all such insects. They new
er served the Con federney and will never
make useful citizens Of the United State
