THE INDIANS OF New MExIoo.--Thc Indiun
agent for New Mexico, Mr.. Stack, has just ar
rived here direct from that Territory. Pre-.
vious to his departure all the principal men Of
the Nevada Indians came 10 Santa Fe and made
a treaty Of peace with the Government with
the exception Of Arizona, where email fol CO
Of Texans have possession through the treach-
cry of Colonel Loring. All is quiet in the Ter
ritory. ""
The Federal force therein, under Colonel
Candy, who commands that military depart
ment, is from twelve TO fifteen hundred, while
the citizens have raised three full regiments.
Mr.. Stack represents the people as loyal to q
man. The object of the rebels is represe ented
as being to seize the Government stores rather
than to endeavor to conquer the country. There
were no disturbances on the Plains, and when
Mr.. Stack was passing over them the Indians
were in the best possible humor, from the fact
of receiving presents and annuities.
Walter J. Smith, son Of the Secretary of the
Interior, has been appointed Chief Clerk of that
Department.

NEWS DOWN THE POTOMAC.

Tuesday night, the Mount Vernon, accom-
panied by the Pawnee, went down the Poto
mao.
When the Mount Vernon reached Shipping
Point, 1t was between the setting Of the moon
and the break of day, amid the darkness ol
which she passed the battery unmolested.
The Pawnee followed, passing that poin
about the dawn of day, when the battery
opened fire on her. The rebels fred twenty
or thirty shots at the Pawnee, none of which
however, struck her. According to orders
she made no reply to the battery.
The flagship Harriet Lane, Commander
Craven, arrived last night, reports that the
Pawnee reached her destination without in
jury.
Batteries are planted about In spots, from
near Shipping Point to Evansport.
We are informed that these batteries are
very strong, numbering at least twenty heavy
rihed guns.
It may not be amiss to state that the Depart
ment acted upon a suggestion of Commander
Dahlgren, by which these boats succeeded in
getting down safely. We decline mentioning
the particulars of that suggestion, because Il
proved to be Q success.
We were assured that the Pawnee was moi
injured, for two reasons: First, she had ordert
not to open upon the batteries unless she wai
struck and second, because she did not an
swer the battery, but steamed quietly down
the river.
The rebels near Shipping Point at times
may be seen In large numbers.
