Our Western Erontier.--Tho picture drawn
by the Arkansas lntegencer of the state of affairs
on the western frontier, is unpleasant one to
contemplate. 1t is just such state Of things.
however, as might have been expected from the
present organization, or rather disorganisation Of
the army. When the veteran Mai. Gen. CANES
had command of the western Division en-
braching the entire frontier VIC did not hear these
complaints. He was then responsible for its safe
~, and had authority adequate to its protection.
1t pleased Gen. SCOTT, however, aided by his part
ner in schernng iEiquity. JNo. c. SPENCER, to
abolish this "Divison," and unlawfully to reduce
Gen. Gaines to a Brig. Generals command, Civ
ing him tho command Of department instead Of
ajor Generals Dirision. There being no
general military head on the frontier, with whom
is lodged the authority and the responsibility of
overlooking the whole, Of course things have como
10 such pass as to be complained Of, and justly.
Our brother of tho inielieoncer calls loudly for
the two regiments at jefferson Barracks. If he
will call for the restoration of Gen. Gaines 10 his
legitimate command of the "Vestern Dirision,"
will strike nearer at the roo. Of the evil.-Msr,-
