INDlANs.-Rcccnt arrangements
offer some prospect of increased pro
lection of Texas and Arkansas a.
gainst Indian depredations. Before
noticing these, however, we must
say that the officers and troops now
on the Texas frontier seem to be do
ing their duty nobly, and are win
ming deserved praise for their self
sacrificing efforts to protect the
country.
Gen. Hancock, in the Department
ofthe Mississippi, has formed force
of fifteen hundred picked men,
which he will at once lead into the
country of the Chcyennes and klo-
WAYS, below the Arkansas, either to
engage in warfare with those tribes
or to mako a treaty of peace with
them, as they may prefer. Unless
they give satisfactory assurances
that they will cease to molest the
whites, or give any occasion for a
farming rgmors, he will let loose
the dogs of war Gaining these as
surances, he will distribute his force
so as to be easily assembled if nee
essary.
Gen. Sherman is endeavoring to
persuade tho Government that de-
! fensive measure will not answer a.
gainst Indians. We quito agree
with him, at least to the extent that
when occasions offers, by reason of
their depredations, a thorough
whipping is the cheapest III the
long run both for them and our
selves. The Napoleonic principle
that war is war is as economical III
Indian fighting as in any other hos
tilities. Gen. Shermans idea IS,
that our long routes and small de-
tachments hamper us so much that
they afford no defense against the
enemy. whose facility of movement
enables him to attack distant points
within short period. He thinks
our troops must get amongst them
and kill enough of them to inspire
fear and must then conduct the re-
mainder to places where Indian a
cents can reside with them and be
held responsible for their conduct

At the recent railroad meeting in this city
three routes were suggested which may serve
the double purpose of restoring our ancient
trade relations with Northern Vermont by
opening railway communication with Mont
pelier and Of opening a new avenue to the
Westby the line already in operation from
Montpelier to Ogdensburg on the New York
shore of the st. Lawrence. The first of these
routes branches Off from the Portland and
Rochester railroad, runs up the Saco valley to
Fryeburg, and thence across New HAMPSHIRE
to Dalton on the Vermont line. A charter
has already been secured for road from
Montpelier to Dalton. The second, much
shorter, leaves the Grand Trunk at Gorham,
New Hampshire, and extends to Dalton. The
third is by the Portland and Rochester road
and its connections at Rochester The sense
OF the meeting was expressed by resolution
appointing committee to obtain an act of in
corporation for company to build railroad
to the State line to connect with Western
railway. This action favors the line of the
Saco valley. The Board of Trade, at a sub
sequent meeting, passed a resolution express
ing the opinion that Gin no way can the con-
nection Of this city with the Western States
be 50 directly made, and with so small an out
lay OF capital" as by pushing forward the
Portland and Rochester railroad to comple-
ton. 4s. .la Hs.r.lf s.ly r t3.
In favor of this latter movement are some
considerations presented by the Vermont
Standard in an article which we republish 10
day. The Standard is published at Wood
stock, and is laboring energetically and hope
fully to secure the completion of the Wood
stock and Rutland railroad to White River
Junction. Communication with Rutland af.
fords a connection with the New York Cen
tral railroad, The Standard therefore recon-
mends through route using portions of the
Portland and Rochester and Dover anu VIM
nipisiogee railroads and striking across the
State of New Hampshire to White River
Junction. Such road will not only nut MS
in communication with Montpelier and bring
us larger portion of the trade of Northern
Vermont than could be obtained by the Dal-
ton route, but would give us the use of the
New York Central road in addition to the
Northern road to Ogdensburg 1t is claimed
also that the cost of construction by the way
OF White River will be considerably less than
by the way of Dalton.
We do not learn that the Board of Trade
has appointed any committees to investigate
the comparative merits of the routes proposed.
If information about distances and grades can
be obtained from parties interested in the diff
ferent routes with sufficient accuracy to indi-
cate the direction in which the interest of
Portland lies, there is no need of investisa-
ton.

PORTLAND,

We publish this morning the Presidents
last veto message. The objection which he
makes to the admission of Colorado as a State
on account of deficiency of population, seems
to be well taken, though not vital. The oh.
lection which he does not make, that her con-
stitution and laws are not republican, ought
to be conclusive. Until the voters of Colorado
are willing to accord equal rights to all Amer.
leans in that Territory, we hope they will not
be allowed to have voice in Congress. Let
them wait.
