His opinion of the adequasle this S36scG, andthe
great improbabity Of apyl liIe movements by

on the 23d of Decembcr lac AL our inforrna-
tion from our Indian agents and other sources. o.
roborates the view presented by 'Gon'l Taylor Of
the poaceabe disposition Of the Indians, and Of
the absence Of all cause Of apprehension from
them. Still, having troops who will no longer be
wanted in Florida, an additional regiment will
shortly be ordered to the Arkansas frontier.-
With the force which will then be concentrated
in that direction, consisting of large portion Of
Cavalry, md with the addition of other compa-
nies of Dragons who will probably be transfer
red from Baton Rouge, it is believed that the most
abundant protection willb afforded to the cti-
zens of Arkansas, and that the erection of any
now posts will bo quite unnecessary. Atall events
in the present state Of tho Treasury, should have
little hope of any appropriation for the establish.
ment of new posts.


An appropriation for continuing the works at
Fort Smith, is contained in the bill now pending
in Congress, and which will probably pass in
day or two. This appropriation is all that is
deemed necessary or proper at present.
