RED MEN.
The Richmond Eramiaer Of the 81 says

INDIAN TERRITORY-THE SOUTHERN CAUSE AMONG THE
RED MEN
The Richmond Examiner of the 81 saws
Letters from Mr. Albert Pike, who was appointed
Commissioner to visit the tribes in the Indian Ter
ritory give some very interesting accounts of the
progress of his mission among the Red men.
The Commissioner has long been known as
philanthropic and efficient friend of the Indian
tribes and his marked popularity among them has
doubtless been of the greatest and best effect in
ceunteracting the insidous Yankee influences to
corrupt and debauch the Indians and TO disaff5ct
them with regard to the Southern cause.
Previous to the Commissioners arrival in the
Territory, the efforts of John Ross to establish
among the tribes smity with the North under the
guise of neutrality had operated very much against
his mission. He has succeeded, however, in making
treaties with the Greeks and Seminoles whereby the
former have agreed to furnish for the defence of
the South regiment, and the latter battalion of
warriors.
These negotiations were conducted with perfect
fairness the Greeks and SeminOles not making their
adhesion to our government the price of any con
cessions our part but asking only what has long
been due them, and a reasonable compensation for
their time and labor.
Commissioner Pike has despaired of treating with
the Shawnees, the Delawares or the Kickapoos,
these tribes being already secured by purchases,
of their friendship to the North. At last accounts
Mr.. Pike had gone to the Wichita Agency, taking
with them the chiefs Of the Greeks and Seminoles.

Camanches expected to be present, with whom
the commissioner expected to treat.
The accounts of the commissioner convey the al
most certain expectation that with the exceptions
referred to above the Red Men of the West will Ill
timsely join hands, and that, too, in the most eff
Gent manner, with their white brethren of the
South, who have been their best friends.
SICK SOLDIERS.
The number of disabled volunteers increases with
each days arrival from Manassas, says the Rich
mond Examiner On the lst inst, the Central cars
brought down 100 of the sick who were immedi-
atey distributed in the different hospitals. Au
rivalon the I'd added $50 patients to the list. If
attention and careful nursing can restore these
braves" to their wonted condition of bodily health,
they win be ready again to face the enmies Of
their country. It5
YANKEE PRISONERS.
The Richmo nd Examiner of the Sd says:
About fifty of these bipeds were brought down
to this city the Fredericksburg railrosd yester
day. They were captured in the vicinity of the
Potomac A number of the wounded who were
unable to walk, were conveyed to the General
Hospital in a Confederate ambulance. The others
were sent TO one of the tobacco factories afer an
order from headquarters. Speaking on the general
subject of yankee prisoners" reminds Us to say
that none of the fourteen hundred at present con-
fined in the Richmond tobacco factories are now
allowed to go a shopping. even under guard. The
duty of doing their eFrands has been imposed on
the Confederate soldiers who guard them.
FUGITTvEs FROM BAkTINoRE.
The Richmond Dispatch of the Sd says:
A party of fugitives from Baltimore arrived in
this city day or two ago, whose adventures ar
