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.
