Important from the Indian Nations. --The Galveston (Texas) News, of June 25th, says: Mr. J. A. Echols, Secretary of the Commissioners sent by the Convention to the Indian Nation, returned recently. He informs us that the Chickasaw Legislature passed an act of secession by a unanimous vote, about the 1st inst. A Convention was to be held by the Choctaws about the 14th inst. for the same purpose, and there is no doubt that nation had also seceded. The Creek nation had a Convention about the 12th May, but they sat with closed doors, and their action is not therefore certainly known, but as delegates to the Southern Confederacy were immediately sent, no doubt is entertained that an act of secession was passed. Gen. Douglass H. Cooper, agent of the United States, for the Chickasaws and Choctaws, resigned some time since, has been adopted as a citizen, and is appointed Commander-in-chief of all their forces. Gen. Cooper is a Mississippian, and a relative of President Da

al forces, on the other hand, are concentrating at two main points, Phillippi and Clarksburg. When I tell you that, with the exception of the troops absolutely needed to guard the road and hold Grafton, and of one regiment stationed at Cheat river, all the troops in Western Virginia have gone to Phillippi or Clarksburg, you will have little difficulty in comprehending the contemplated movements. In addition to this I may only add that the column from Clarksburg commenced moving yesterday, June 26. A correspondent of the same journal, writing from Clarksburg, on the 28th, gives the following: Six o'clock P. M.--The day closes amidst the most conflicting and exciting reports relative to the movements of the rebels. It is now pretty clearly ascertained that Governor Wise has occupied Buchanon, at the head of seven thousand men. Major Bill Jackson is at Beverly, with fifteen hundred men, and another body is at Webb's Mill's, forty miles southeast of here. It will thus be see

More of it. --A gentleman well known this city as a reliable man, reached here before yesterday, and states that he was present at the battle at Cole Camp. in Missouri and that the Lincolnites lost 122 killed as number wounded. He also states that he was on the boat which conveyed the dead wounded from Booneville, and that he counted 40 dead, and there was a considerable number wounded. The Administration at Washington has adopted the policy of oppressing the facts of all their reverses.---ville Patriot, June 29.

[for the Richmond Dispatch.]death of Capt. Ward, of Lincoln's Navy.[by one who knew him well.] Mr. Editor:--Reading the Dispatch, of June 30th, I was not at all surprised to and announced the death of Yankee Ward, killed by a Virginia ball. This same Yankee creature spent some months in Norfolk a few years ago, and whilst here received such kind attention and hospitality as Norfolk people have always shown to strangers. Yes, many a Norfolk ball has he enjoyed, and what return old he make? by becoming one of our most inveterate enemies. He it was that promised to destroy Charleston, Norfolk, &c., with the assistance of his sand-bag batteries, on which he had experimented in New York harbor, by having boats protected by them and then firing on them with heavy shot. But the justice of God, though always sure, is not always so soon exemplified as was in the case of this unfortunate Yankee. He had gotten to work with his famous sand bags, and not content with doing his duty as C

deranged, and while in that condition breaking up a lot of valuable furniture at the American Hotel.--The conduct of the party betrayed such evident signs of a dethronement of reason, that it was found necessary to secure him, when officer Chalkley was sent for and conveyed him to the lock-up. The Mayor said that he could not treat the prisoner as he could other individuals who were sane — that is, commit him till he furnished security for his appearance to answer an indictment by the Grand July for the injury done at the Hotel, but he would retain him in custody till he was ready to leave the city.--He was ready to let him out whenever he was ready to go away. Morris protested he was not deranged on the occasion of smashing up Col. Carrington's furniture, but that he was greatly excited, and was willing to pay all damages. The Mayor said he did not sit to assess damages on injury done to private property; it was for a jury to ascertain that.--He had, however, been informed by a re

Heat. --With the derivation of the word "heat" we have nothing to do. Whether we take it as hoctu, hitle, hitze, hetta, or the good old Anglo heat, we are aware that in the month of July we have a degree of caloric not altogether pleasant, but still endurable, since we know that the unacclimated are very likely to succumb to its influence. Providentially, a few days past have brought us rains and winds; but these are more traps to catch the unwary. Let the weather be as hot as it may, there is a satisfaction in knowing that our men can stand it better than the shoemakers of Connection and One single act of making hot shot would strike terror to their very nice to say nothing of their uppers.

Kearney is being constructed rapidly.--The advance trains of the Pacific company are probably by this time very near Fort Kearney. Mr. Stebbins reports having met some two hundred emigrant wagons bound for California, and four hundred to five hundred going to Pike's Peak, many of the latter being freight wagons. The California overland emigration is much larger than it has been any year since 1851.--The Overland Mail Transportation Company have doubled their stations, which are not more than twelve to fifteen miles apart, and are prepared to make schedule time. They commence daily service to-morrow, the pioneer coach leaving St. Joseph at that time. Mr. Stebbins also reports having met 200 wagons of Mormons, and that there were about 3,000 Mormons still at Florence, the Mormon town just above Omaha, and a good many more are yet to concentrate there. It is confidently expected that the telegraph line will be completed to California by the first of December next.
