Treaties with the Indian nations. --The Fort Smith Times publishes the following letter from Mr. J. W. Washburne to the editor, dated Park Hill, Cherokee Nation, October 5 Gen. Pike has consummated with the Osages, Quapaws, Senecas and Shawnees, treaties of alliance and friendship with the Confederate States. On Monday next the Cherokees will also sign a similar treaty — peace and harmony now prevail. The war may unite the two parties who have been so long dissevered. It is to be devoutly hoped that such a result may be gained; and though a doubter, I am one of the hopeful. At all events Gen. Pike has concluded a treaty of the most liberal character ever acknowledged by them, as is the case with all other treaties he has made. It is a blessing to them that he came among them. The Indians are now a solid phalanx for the South. Gen. Pike end his suits will leave for Fort Smith on Tuesday.

higher prices. It may be all right, but we cannot bring ourselves to believe that it is. A terrible Lincoln Projectile. The Petersburg Express, of yesterday, has the following description of a shell which was fired at Commodore Lynch's fleet in Pamilco Sound, N. C., by one of Lincoln's fleet: We have been shown a large, conical shell, 8 inches in diameter, and 15 inches in length, thrown by one of the Federal steamers, at Commodore Lynch's fleet in Pamlico Sound, on the 5th of October. The sand bars dividing the Atlantic from the Sound were of course between the vessels, and we suppose the shell must have fallen upon one of these bars. Its weight is fully 100 pounds, and it was fired from a rifled cannon. Its cone is capped with a large percussion copper cap, which, should the shell strike anything solid, would cause a terrific explosion. One of these shells striking and bursting in a vessel, would be sufficient to destroy or sink her, and carry death to all on boa

f a recognition of the South by the European powers, postponing the war to an indefinite period, if such an act would be the means of engaging the North in a war with England, have a tendency to depress the market; and the prospects for a speculative feeling equal to last season are not at all flattering. Cautiousness will be the motto by which they will be directed. The letter closes with the advice to their agent here not to engage in the purchase of hogs till he hears from them; for the probability was, on the day he wrote, Oct, 5 that England would soon, perhaps before sailing of the next steamer, recognize the Southern Confederacy, and as the effect that the move would have on the North, not being definitely known in.
