ON THE FRONTIER.

The disorders and outrages of the Greasers on the Texas iron tier still continue, and engage the attention of the public and of the press. The very transparent attempt of the Mexican Minister at Washington to shift the res possibility from his government, by charging that most of the thieves and banditti are ex-con- federate soldiers, does not satisfy the average American mind; and the demand is universal and loud that the administration shall af- ford protection to our border peo- pie. The disgrace of outrageous treatment from Mexican greasers has lasted long enough; but we would not like to see any mistake make in the remedy. If the ad- ministration. will be as generous in the disposition of troops for the protection of our frontier, as he has been for the suppression o1 the will of the people in Louisiana and all over the South, the dep relations on the Texas border can soon be squashed, without the cost and buster of war witt Mexico. Indeed we see no suf ficient grounds for such a war We can avenge the outrages upol our border people, upon the gull ty parties if the administration will withdraw the troops from tho South and increase the military force on the frontier; and theI the disgrace of another civil wal and the robbing of neighbor O. territory will be avoided. Speak ing of this subject the St. Louis Despatch makes this suggestion which is not a bad one:
 "What the people of Texas need greatly and should have are more Henry rifles and less reliance up on government that only pro tects those who are busy with tn, robbery of States and energetic in the manufacture of delegations pledged to the championship of ; third term.
