BOGUS NEws.-The reports per telegraph
purporting to come from Nicaragua, alleging
that the parties of Martinez and Jerez-the
Leonists and ChamOrristas-are about to draw
the sword again, are untrue. We have Just
received our private advices coming by the
Illinois, which satisfy US of their want of truth
They were generated for the benefit of fibus-
tiers, who aim to prevent this Government from
recognizing the existence of government in
Nicaragua as long as possible, so that anarchy
and civil war, &c, may be brought about there
once more. If their object can be accomplished,
they know we'll that there will be more likeli-
hood that the flibusters may be able shortly to
make a safe Judgment on the Isthmus, than if
peace and order reign there among the native
population.
According to our letters, though the two par
ties of the natives have not finally adjusted all
the questions in issue between them, there can
be no doubt that their pending negotiations
will terminate IN a satisfactory union of all
parties. This is manifest in the cordial desire
of both parties for the acceptance by the United
States of the Minister accredited to Washington
by President Rivas after Walker withdrew
from the service Of the government and at
tempted to set up his abortion of n filibuster
dictatorship. The idea that the two parties are
about to go to war with each other has no founds-
ton whatever in trutL-none in the world.
THE CONFLICTING DISPATCHES Yesterday,
we mentioned that the War Department have
despatch from Fort Smelling, announcing the
gratifying information that the Sioux have ac-
coded to the terms of the Government, and that
the prospect now is that the Indian troubles
there are at an end for the present This bore
the date of the 25th inst. At the same time we
published despatch received from the agent
Of the Associated Press, dated at Fort Smelling
on the day after, wherein it is represented that
the Sioux are in q worse state than ever, threat
ening more danger to the whites than before,
&c, and saying that excitement exists among
the settlers against the Secretary of Wars de-
cision not to authorize the muster of volunteers,
because the force of regulars to be employed
there would prove sufficient for existing emer-
gencies.
We had no space, yesterday, in which to ex-
press our entire confidence in the first despatch
mentioned above, which is from Lieut. Col. j.
j. AbercrOmbie, of the Second Infantry, the
senior officer now in that section of the country
who is in immediate command Of all the troops
there. Nor had VIC then room to add our belief
that the second despatch simply reflects the
disappointment Of those who were in hopes of
being mustered into service there as volunteers
The INDIANS OF New MExICo.-The Indian
Bureau have full dispatches, of late dates from
their various agencies in the Territory of New
Mexico. From the Abiquin agency Ito May 3D.
they learn that the difficulties between the Ma
vejOs and Capote Utahs have compelled the lat
ter to remain in the vicinity of that agency flor
pro.ection) in a very destitute condition that
the Jicarilla Apaches are peaceably working
their fields, and improving they have planta-
tons on the Rio Oso and La Guerra, about thirty
and twenty-five miles from this agency. From
the Utah agency, Taos, Ito June 6th,) they
have information that in tho course of the pre-
viOus month the Minachi Utahs visited that
point and received satisfactory presents, evin-
cling a friendly disposition. The Jicarila
Apaches have also been there, and are quite
friendly.
ARREsTED.-The General Land Office have
information of the arrest of VIM III Wash, of
Powhatan, Va, for forging papers to substan-
tiate claims to bounty lands, effected through
the instrumentality of Mr.. Gregory, the L. S
District Attorney at Richmond Va The ac-
cused Is now confined in the Richmond jail
awaiting his trial. The Bureau has doubtless
evidence sufficient on hand TO insure his Con-
victiOn.
TREATY SIGNED.-This morning, the rep-
rescnta.ives of the Ottawas Originally from
Ohio0 located in Kansas, signed, with the Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs, the treaty they
have just concluded with the United States pro.
viding for the division of their 10 600 acres of
fine lands in the Territory, held by the tribe in
common, among them individually. This is the
adoption on their part of the custom of the
whites with reference to the tenure of real es-
tate, and will be recognized as a substantial
step forward on their way to entire civilization,
in which for five years past many of the from
tier tribes have been marching forward far
more rapidly than before.
DEATH OF NICHOLAS Thompson, Eso.-Tbe
Secretary of the Interior this morning received
information, by telegraph, of the death of his
father, Nicholas Thompson, Esq, on the day

Caswell county, Miss, which occurred suddenly,
his previous health being remarkably good.
This venerable and universally respected and
esteemed gentleman, was aged seventy-ive
years
TYPOGRAPHICAL BLUNDERs- in
the hurry of managing press of copy, our proof
reader failed to correct the spelling lin the type)

blunder.
