Governor Ful,on of the late territory of Arkansas In retiring from hls goyernshp, the duties of which he had with great ability and fidelity performed, throws out In his valedctory some observations which hope will not fall rulessly on the attention of the General Government. He speaks of the many powerful Indian tribes bordering the western limits of that State many o which, he adds, state of hostility with the United States, and suggests the necessity of hav ing permanent defensive works along the extended line o our southwestern roniiers being absolutely called for by the growing population scattered along this boun- dary, and Jeff, as il were. defenceless against the at tacks of their Indian neghbors.

 slhls necessary protection should be insisted by the states bordering the frontiers alluded to- as be- ing slaveholding states.

 Itis well known that large numbers of blacks joined themselves 10 the Indian forces in Florida, and have proved of great service te them in their depre datons on property, and savage massacres of the inhabitants

 W shall however despair of any permanent relief for the inhabitants of our south western frontiers If the suts of the disastrous neglect of Foda by the Geaer al Government. shall not have awakened prompt de- termination in Congress 10 have all our exposed points folly protected from the seaping knife and tomahawl ofthe infuriaed savage The same expenditure which the Creeks and Seminoes in Georgia and Florida have drawn from the treasury would probably very far in putting every part of the country that is exposed to Indian lncursions, in complete state of defence.

 By the application of expenditure judciously appro- prlaed now. millions may be saved to the country, and great destruction of life prevented for the future

 Although our President in a recent communication to the Governor of Tennessee would proclaim that no hostile disposition exists at present among the nus,er ous tribes the frontiers, still Is not less certain from the secrecy which marks the movements of the Indan that Tn moment when most unexpected he sounds the ocsn of war and with uncontrolled fury rushes up- on his unprepared victims.

 The late Governor of Arkansas Territory differs also from the Executive to there being no unsettled and hostile disposition the part of the tribes on the West frontier of that Slate, and speaks of their belliger rnt attitude in unequvocal terms.--.N. o. Bulletin
