kees, and will no doubt conclude treaties with the other tribes. No man in the Government has or could be more successful in forming treaties with the Indians than Gen. Pike. He has their confidence. [copy.] Executive Department, C. N., Tahlequah, Sept. 10, 1861. To the Chiefs of the Shawnees, Senecas and Shawnees, and Quataws: Brothers: You will remember that eighteen years ago, in June last, a grand convention was held at this place by many Nations of Red Brethren; that the wampum talk of our forefathers was then spoken and listened to; that the ancient fire of peace was newly kindled at Tahlequah in the West; that around this great council fire we all smoked the pipe of peace and shook the right hand of brotherly friendship, and our hearts were made glad on that interesting occasion. That the fire thus kindled was to give a great light to illuminate the patl which were made for the brethren to travel in, which were to be kept clean and white, that the rising generat

Brothers, I am authorized to tell you that a highly distinguished officer of the Confederate States of America has been commissioned by his Government to enter into treaties with the Indian nations west of Arkansas, and that our brethren, the Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles, and other remnants of tribes up the Red river, have already entered into treaties of alliance, offensive and defensive, with the said States. This Commissioner is expected here on the 25th inst., for the purpose of negotiating a treaty also with the Cherokee nation, and we hope to find a strong friend in the Southern Confederacy to support us, in the defence of all our rights; it is, therefore, important for us to form an alliance with the Government of the Confederate States of America.

John Ross, P'l Chief C. N. A Brush in the Sound. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 22d, has been courteously permitted to copy the following interesting report: C. S. Steamer Florida, Lake Pontchartrain, Oct. 20, 1861. Sir --I have the honor to advise you of the return of this steamer to the anchorage off this place. We left here on Monday last, and proceeded as far as Pearl river, for the purpose of wooding and filling up our water. In weighing our anchor the following morning we discovered that we had fouled the telegraph wire that spans the river. Before we could extricate it, the posts which secure it in the marsh were drawn from their places.--Every effort was made to ge

ng Naval Station, New Orleans. Trouble among the Upper Creek Indians. The Fort Smith Times, of the 17th, has the following paragraph: A young man by the name of Dunxy arrived here yesterday evening. We learn from him that there is considerable excitement among the Upper Creeks. Opotheleyoholo is at the head of his party of about 2,000 men. A large number of negroes, belonging to Southern Indians, have runaway, and all the women and children have fled, and are now in the Choctaw county. The Southern Indians Mr. D. says, threaten vengeance on the Lincoln adherents. Mr. Holmes, from the Creek Agency, came down yesterday. He says that Col. McIntosh's regiment is moving up towards the Upper Creeks, and Col. Drew's cherokee regiment is also on the march for that region. He says that it is hoped that the delegation sent by Mr. Ross to Opotheleyoholo will settle matters amicably. There is no doubt but Lincoln emissaries have been at work among the Upper Creeks.

Affairs at the South. From our Southern exchanges we make up the following summary of news: A copy of a Tale from John Ross Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, to the Chiefs of the Shawnees, Senecas, and Quataws, Sept. 10, 1861. [From the Fort Smith Times, Oct. 14.] Below we give a copy of a talk written by Mr. Ross, Chief of the Cherokee Nation, to the Shawnees, and the mixed band of the Senecas and Shawnees, and Quataws, who occupy a country north of the Cherokees. Mr. R. also sent a talk to the Osages, which is in the exact words, commencing with the second paragraph of the talk to the above-mentioned tribes, and, of course, it is e, offensive and defensive, with the said States. This Commissioner is expected here on the 25th inst., for the purpose of negotiating a treaty also with the Cherokee nation, and we hope to find a strong friend in the Southern Confederacy to support us, in the defence of all our rights; it is, therefore, important for us to form a

Sir --I have the honor to advise you of the return of this steamer to the anchorage off this place. We left here on Monday last, and proceeded as far as Pearl river, for the purpose of wooding and filling up our water. In weighing our anchor the following morning we discovered that we had fouled the telegraph wire that spath drift logs. The only alternative left was to drag it out with the machinery, which we accomplished, and succeeded in landing it on the wharf at the month of Pearl river. This large wire I had immediately replaced by a smaller one, which I trust will temporarily answer to keep up the communication. From Pearl river we stooPearl river we stood to the Eastward in company with a steamer, which I saw proper to convoy past the enemy's fleet. It was my intention to enter immediately, but on the eve of dropping the anchor the vessel took the bottom, and remained immovably fixed for 36 hours, notwithstanding every exertion to get her off. It blew quite fresh on Friday, and t

y had no blockading vessel at this Pass, nor have they erected batteries any where in that neighborhood. From Horn Island we steamed to the westward, and at 9 o'clock discovered four of the enemy's vessels at anchor under the batteries at Ship Island. I directed the Florida to be steamed within gun-shot of them, as I thought it a good opportunity to try the efficiency of our guns. At 11:30 we opened on the fleet with the rifled gun with encouraging effect. We had fired but three shots wt the fourth fire. We were now reduced to one gun, which we continued firing as rapidly as we could. The firing was kept up on both sides for over an hour, when the enemy's ship ceased firing and returned to her consorts under the battery at Ship Island. Unless the enemy got into shoal water, I cannot account for her hauling off, as she had us completely under her guns. She throw at least twenty rifled shot over us, and many of her shell burst in close proximity to us; but I am happy to
