We see by an extra from the Gazette of flee, that no act of hostility has yet been committed by the Indians on our frontier. We learn that the Governor will order out as large body of militia as possible. Our mi litia, however, is perfectaionentity-n or ganiyation-few officers, and those not yerscd in their duties-no arms or ammunition at the disposal ofthe Governor. It is certainly to bo lamehted that we have no militia, and we trust that the first act of our State Leglsla- ture will be to give the militia system some shape and form. Let every man, not bodily disabled, be made to serYe--no exceptions in favor of any profession or calling. Let us have regular muster days and drillngs-and we may not be, as is now the case, entirely defenccless. Ne imagine, however, that the people in Miller coHnty are not in much dan ger. We have no more idea that the Indians will invade Arkansas, than we have that they will invade England. We should like to know when Indians have not been collected at the Cross timbers.

 The following is an extract from letter to the editor of the Gazette:

 Jonesboro, 25A April, l836..

 DEAR SIR-when 1 wrote you last, l promised that l would continue to give you such information relative to the war in Te- xas as ] might be possessed of l now at tempt the fulfilment of that promise, and re- gret exceedingly that 1t should be of so me- lancholy nature. An express from the lower end of this county, passed through this place last evening, warning the citizens of theT imminent danger, froma threatened attack ot the Indians of Texas. The news which l gathered from him (the express) IS about as follows; It Is said, that on the l4th of the present month, about 1900 Indians of the Caddo, Kiekapoo, Shawnee and Chero- kee nations, had embodied themselves about 60 miles west of Nacogdoches, with Spa nlsh Colonel at their head, who was stimu- lating them to attack tho settlements of Red River. Much alarm IS felt by many for the safety ot both persons and property, and an excitement, such as have rarely ever wit messed before, ,petvaded the bosoms of all- an excitement which seems to bid them de- fiance. It Is true, that our numbers, com paratlvely speaking, are few, but every man IS half horse and half an alligator.' By the same express, we learn that 1t is gene rally believed that Capt Charles Burkham, of this county, who left here a few weeks since, in command of company of yolun teers, bound for the seat of war, has been cut off between this and Nacogdoches, by the Indians, as sufficient time had elapsed since his departure to have reached Nacoe- doches, at which place. up to the date of our news, he had not been heard of. We also learn. by the same express, that the town of Nacogdoches was burntby the cit izens, and that every man was endeavorinq to place his family and property in state of security, ere he turns to mingle in the bloody strife which must shortly ensue.

 Gen. Houston was on the Brazos. with about 1900 men, and his force increasing.
