The Rebels ana the Iudiaus.

Tho Fort Smith NelOs of December 9th,
has intelligence rather discouraging to tho
rebels who have relied so much on the sue
cess of their tampering with the Indian
tribes of the Southwest. 1t states that the
Greeks, Cherokces and Seminoles arc de-
serting the Confederate cause, and largo
numbers have gained the loyal Opothlop-
hole, who is encamped about Big Bend,
Arkansas, with 1000 followers, we'll armed
with rifles, revolvers and knives. To op-
pose this force, the rebels under Col. Coo
per are so weak as to be clamorous for re-
Inducements.
The following from the National Intel
ligencer shows the course taken by the reb-
els to seduce the Indians from their loyal
ty, and goes TO corroborate the news from
Fort Smith:
Yesterday the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs introduced TO the Secretary Of the
Interior a delegation Of eight Cherokees,
Creeks aud Seminoles, sent to this city by
friends of the Union cause in their respec-
tive nations to examine aud report at home,
in due time, the actual state Of affairs in
the Eastern part of the United States-that
is, as to the power of the Government to
maintain itself against the rebels.
They explained, through interpreters, the
circumstances under which their nations had
joined the rebel cause; the fact
that our troops had been withdrawn from
among them; that oven the semblance Of
United States authorities had seemed to
cease there, and that the rebel authorities
had urged that tho only Government left
in our country was theirs, which stood ready
10 be 10 them precisely what ours had been
and further, that they gave assurance Of
making war on their tribes, unless they con-
sented to the proposed change of their al.
legiance, etc.
They expressed surprise and satisfaction
at finding affairs SO different from what
they had been led to believe, and conf
deBce that on their return home, their ex-
plantations, especially il backed by the ap.
pearance Of United States military author
ity in that quarter, would at once bring all
their respective nations earnestly up TO the
work Of sustaining the Union cause.
Secretary Smith addressed them in ap-
prOpFiate remarks concerning the state Of
the country, their own duty to the United
States, and the prospects Of the war, ETC.
They arc 10 have similar interview with
tho President. i n

Grand Hrovement PrcdIe,ed.

The World Of Thursday last has an ar
ticle insisting that the grand movement
which il to be the commencement Of crush
ing the rebellion is about 10 commence,
and that it is to embrace a general move
meDt along the whole Northern frontier of
Secessia and perhaps, cooperating move
ments from the South. We copy the con-
cluding portion of the article. concediDg
that delay and inactiou cannot continue
without the most deplorable consequences.
We hope, most ardently hope, the grand
movement may begin and begin before
New Years:
Never, during this generation, has Great
Britain been in such quarrelsome and un-
reasonable mood; and all Western Europe,
IN a minor degree, shares this unfortunate
fseiiog. We're our inaction in the field to
continue much longer, there would be very
little likelihood of our escaping the most
damaging foreign complications. We have
been in just that situation in which we
were at the mercy Of contingencies sit
uation in which We were peculiarly obnox-
ious 10 the saying of Napoleon, that "a
eAoment lost is an opportunity for misfor-
stune." Thus far events have favored u.s.
But we have no right to count longer upon
this immunity. Our only security is in
just such mighty movement upon the rO-
bellion as is DOW about to begin.
The attention Of the world will be arres-
ted; and all sinister designs will ba held in
abeyaDcc until il can be seen whether the
governments likely to triumph. The ma
tiODs will not be kept longerin doubt about
that fact. We shall give practical demon
slration Of our vastly superior strength
When that is once done, and the triumph
Of the Government becomes q prospective
eertainty, all our foreign difficulties will
speedily vanish. Ii will be tho recognized
common interest ofall nations to give their
moral support TO the winning side. 80 that
q solid psaes may Be secured at the earliest
day possible. and the advantages Of the
cid connections with the United states
opcs priced 50 highly be again realized.

prason ana sliacIi surrendered.

Before this paper reaches our readers the most
Of them win have learned that the two rebel
ambassadors, Mason and Slidell, with their two
Clerks, have been surrendered to the British
Government on demand. This, we anticipated
the moment We heard Of their arrest, would be
the final result. Though not pretending to any
more knowledge on international law than our
neighbors, we could not fail to sec that their
capture in the manner they were was contrary
TO the many and repeatedly expressed views Of
this Government on the question. Hence, ou'
readers will have noticed, we have never edito-
rally indorsed the act of Capt Wilkes in theil
capture, believing that the law was against us
Therefore, We were not astonished or disap-
pointed when we heard of their release, but ra.
ther gratifed that the President and the Cabi-
net had the pluck to do righteous act, however
huniiliating it might appear to the casual OBJ
server. Their release is in accordance with the
long cherished views of this Government, and
by it the President has accomplished what long
years of diplomacy has failed TO do England,
in her eagerness to plunge this Government into
q foreign war, has swallowed the bait SO adroitly
fhrown out TO her, and has been handsomely
hooked aud landed where the world has been
trying to get her for the past three centuries.
On the whole, then, we consider this Trent
affair the most auspicious that could have hap
pened to this Government. England wanted
war with us, and with indecent haste seized up
on this case as justifable cause for it. But we
have been enabled to accede to the demands
made upon us without surrendering single
right, and thereby to secure the respect and
good will of most of the European Govern
ments, which we would not have had had we
gone to war with England on this issue.
The only persons that viii be really disap-
pointed at the surrender of these traitors, are
the British and the Rebels, and rebel sympathis-
ers. Yes, there is another class; those who in
their mighty wisdom had set it down as fixed
fact that the traitors nerer Sod b given up, and
who believed that the American Eagle had only
to flap its wings and all the world would stand
still

1t is rumored at Washington that Gen. Hall
leck is to be placed in command of the Army
on the Potomac. We trust that if any change
of commanders is to made in that Department,
that some sve man will be selected. We would

Gen. Lyon. We protest that our armies have
been commanded by dead men long enough, but
if such men arc to continue in command, W,
don't see but that Gen. Mcclellan is just as gooG
as any one. He's just as dead as Gen. Halleck
