MINUTE Men For FRONTIER De-
FENsE,--lt appears from recent re
ports that the Davis government,
after long probation and swing in
the channels OF licentious expert
mcnt how to thumb down the best
interests of the State, have suddenly
almost abandoned the State police
scheme, and are now looking to the
protection ofthe frontier against In
dian invasion by the organization
of minute companies in the frontier
counties This looks sensible for
the noncc in the authorities-Snd
as the boys have tits just what
we told them down at the mill long
ago. but they wouldn't believe us :
All we have ever asked, is to throw
the defense Of the frontier into the
hands OF its citizens, and we will
run the risk Of Indian depradations
thereafter without u murmur. We,
of course, do not want to cntrust
our lives and property to the safe
keeping of scallawags and outsiders
who have no interest at stake in
the matter Of protection, beyond
the paltry rations they eat and
their pay; hence we expect the min
ute companies to be raised ana Off
ccred from among tho hardy from
tiersmen of Western and Northwcs-
tern Texas Equip aud pay such a
class of men we'll for their services,
and we will guarantee they wi |
secure better protection for our
frontier line against Indian depra.
dations than all the hircling troops
you could place upon it. As mat
ter of course, our citizen soldiers do
not expect, nor w II they submit to
be placed under the control or up
start West Pointers, who, not unfre-
quently are as little competent to
take charge Of a corporal's guard,
as most of them are TO face the in
Kiowas and Comanches
on the plains of Western Texas,
and neither Davis nor his Adjutant
General need attempt to raise a
force of Texans under any such au
spices. Such an attempt was once
made, and we presume it vii not
&c again t--iva. We shall Sec

The Washington special of the
New York Herald says Marshall o.
Roberts, of New York is heartily
sick Of the Southern Pacific Rail
road, ard has offered to sell the
whole thing out 70 Tom Scott for
81 800 600, which is about the
amount that Roberts has himself
personally advanced 10 build the
road, The llcrald's special says
further that Roberts is generally
looked upon as Il failure as Il rail
road man, and the hungry attor-
neys. eX-Congressmcn and others
who We're promised bonds upon his
accession are raving about town,
talking about honorable and dis
honorable conduct. 1t is said that
not fewer than two hundred persons
had promises Of bonds and of mon
ey, but these promises amount to
nothing, being many of them given to
persons who, under the law, had no
right to be interested in any IN cas-
ure before Congress.
Perhaps tho robbers feel some

man who, when asked whether his
company intended to spend any
more money in Richmond, answer
