CHICAGO, February ga letter was
received at Sheridan's headquarters here
to-day from Camp Supply, Indian Ter

that Bull Bear, prominent chief Of the
Cheyennes, had come to that post with
important news from several hostile
tribes theresbout He states that the
Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches, who
are very numerous and formidable, are
making preparations for war upon the
whites, and the Cheyennes are to join
them. No little apprehension was ex-
cited among the white settlers of the
Territory who heard this news, and it is
to be feared that serions trouble with the
treacherous red skins is in store for them
at an early day.

what is to become of our Frontier.

| what is 90 Become of Our Frontier.
From the San Antonio Herald
A few days since We had the pleasure
of call from our old friend, BIT. With
erby, who represents our frontier ia the
saddest condition. Mr.. Witherby re-
moved to Mason county in 1851, and set
tied at FSrt Mason. BE carried With
him some property, aud those sterling
virtues, sobriety. industry and economy
which, when Joined togeh her. success
is rendered certain in time. For Rine-
teen years he has labored to secure 9
competency, and leaves there now poorer
than he vent. Year after year lie has
seen bis property carried away By Indian
marauders before his eyes, with no power
to prevent it; until finally yielding to de-
spsir be abandoss bis home Of long years
there, and seeks that protection on the
coast be has failed to secure on the ILL
guarded frontier. Such complaints as
this come from eur frontier almost daily.
The country seemsto have been turned
over to the savsges; they ride through
small settlements With that sir of indie.
peudeuce and ease which marks TIE man
who feels himself free from danger. Wo.
men and children are carried into a hor-
rid captivity; horses driven of in droves
before the eyes of the owner, and bseves
aud other property appropriated, and, in
many csses, carried beyond the Rio
Grande. While these depredations con-
linue, our military authorities are wrap
ped 10 q Rip Van Wiukle sleep; and, as
an evidence of this fact, we call attention
to the robbery Of the Government corral
by Indians at Fort Concho, within a
stones throw of the commanding officer 8
quarters. Could such degree OF iner-
tia exist among men claiming TO be sol
disrs, not dead to the interests Of the
country they are sent here to protect :
What Is to become OF our frontier under
q military administration that is fast rem
dering itself contemplate for the entire
want Of efficiency exhibited in every de
pariment Of our frontier posts A?
