derstood that the object of his visit was that
he might confer with the Executive for the
protection of the frontier against Indian dep

States troops now stationed in the interior
Of the State, and utterly useless for all bene-
fetal purposes, should be removed to the
frontier, to defend our people against the
Indians.
We learn indirectly that Gen. Heintzleman
is of opinion that such disposition Of the
troops, if it were deemed advisable could
not be effected before some time in Novem.
