The Indians

--The Fort Smith Times, of the 15th inst, learns that Captain Pike has concluded treaties with the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks and Seminoles All the tribes on the frontier have thus formed an alliance with the Confederate States, except the Cherokees. Mr. Ross is for neutrality, and a large number of his people are with the South, mostly half bloods, while the full bloods are opposed to the South, and still adhere to the old Government The Cherokees are said to be very much divided in sentiment, and several of the half bloods have been compelled to flee for their lives. The Times entertains no hope of any arrangement being made with Mr. Ross and the Confederates Commissioners.
