The commissioners of Indian Affairs
have received cheering adsice' from the
Indian Territory. The 2. 600 white troops
who accompanied from Kansas an equal
number OF Indian refugees, have already
made q good, impression on the Cherokee
country. and. with the addition of 800
Indians under John Ross, further results
are anticipated. Large numbers of Indians
have asked to be furnished with arms to
operate against the secessionists in the va
rious tribes. Ii has just been ascertained
that the rebel government processes to
have made treaties with the reserve Texan
Indians--the Camsnches. Senecas, Shaw
nees. Choctaws, Chickasaws. Seminoles
and Cherokees-and appropriated money
to carry them into effect. AS the Senecas

under jackson and Ewell are making pre-
paration either to attack Pope's forces. or
move down the west side Of the Shenan-
doah. Some well informed even insist
that battle may come off in three or four
days. Everything would depend upon
such battle. and the consequences Of de.
feat could hardly DO estimated.
