 The Portland Oregonian of J June 23, furnishes the following intelligence:
 Gov. Stevens, of Washington Territory, and Gen. Palmer, Superintendent of Indian Affairs Tn Oregon, have succeeded in making treaty with the Walla- Walla, Cayuso and Umatillas as one confederation, and also with the Yakimas, Plscouses, Paouses, Okanargaus, and all the small bands north of the Columbia river as far down as the Cathlapoodle, including those bands acknowledging kamarakum as their head chief, as another confederation. We learn also that the conditions of those treaties are highly ad- vantageous to the United States government- The first mentioned confederation retain a re- servatlon on the Umatilia, above McKay's and Wildhorse creek. They have ceded to the United States government the Touchet, Walla- Walla, or Whitman Valley, Tukanon, Grand Ronde Prairie and the Umatiila Valley below Mchays, country equal, 1t is said, to the whole Willamette Valley, both in extent and quality of the soil.
 The Neg Perces have reservation in their own country. They cede to the United States a large extent of country, as yet but little known to the Americans. The Yakimas, and those other tribes mentioned, have also a reser. vatlon 1n thelr own country, and cede to the gc- neral government another large extent of coun- try west of the NeZ Perces. These treaties if confirmed by the general government, will open new and extensive country for settlement. and will add much to induce emigration west of the Rocky Mountains.
 Gen. Palmer, Superintendent of Indian affairs, Is now engaged in making treaties with the h. dian tribes at the Dales.
 G. V. Stevens has gone on to the Black feet country, accompanied by 100 Neg Perces war rlorS, under Looking Glass, the war chief of the Nez Perces. Looking Glass had just returned nom the Blackteet country with band of young warriors to attend the Grand Council at "a.ia- Walla. He left 100 lodges of his peo- pie m the Blackfeet country
 we nave recelzed private letters from Jack- sonvllie to the l4th of June which fully con- 1rm the iact that the Indians have determined upon another war with the settlers. Voun- teers had been raised at Jacksonville. and had gone out to bury those whites which had been killed by the Indians, and to chastise them The rumor was that two battles had been fought and the Indians whipped in both encounters and that seven Indians had been killed, and several prisoners taken. The rumor, however. was not authentic at the time our correspond. ents wrote.
 The coming harvest bids fair to yield the farmer rich reward for his labor provided there is a market for the surplus now growing. There Will De double the quantity of wheat, oats, bar ley, etc., gathered this year in Oregon than in any previous year.
