WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.
The Senate has ratified treaties with the
North Western bands of Shorhoonic Indians
Establishing peace and friendship with the
several bands, and STIMULATING that hostilities
and all depredations upon all emigrant trains
the mail and telegraph lines, and upon citi.
zens OF the United States within their country
shall cease. The boundaries OF their country
as claimed and occupied by them are as fol-
lows On north by middle of Great Desert
on west by Steptue Valley, on south by Green
Mountains, and on east by Great Salt Lake,
Toulla and Rush Vallies. The Indians agree
to remove their reservations whenever the
President shall deem it expedient, and be-
come heardsmen or agriculturalists. The
government paying the certain annuities in
money, provisions and goods. The Indians
also agree thet the Pacific railroad shall not be
molested, that military posts ETC., may be con-
structed, gold and silver mines worked, and
agricultural settlements formed, and rancheros
established wherever they may be required.
1t has been enormously stated that Adj
miral Porter confirms the report that the
ebels have blown up Fort Caswell and the
steamers Tallahassee and Chickamauga. His
language is as follows:
"A large force of gunboats occupy the river
between Fort Caswell and Wilmington. That
place is Theoretically sealed against blockade
runners and no Alabama's, or Florida's, or
Chickamauga's, or TaIlahassee's will ever fit
out again from that port, and our merchants
will soon hope be enabled to pursue their
avocation."
He further says: "We shall move along
carefully, and have no vessels blown up by
torpedoes if | can help it, and think we will
be in Wilmington before long"
1t appears from a communication of the
Secretary of War, that the entire subject OF
exchange of prisoners is now placed in the
hands of Lieut.. Gen. Grant, and although only
partial exchanges thus far have been made,
there is reason to believe full exchange will
soon be effected. h23 s3tiaai8 Ts7s

NEW YORK, Jan. %.
A significant article appears in the Rich
mond Enquirer of Thursday saying: AFTER
every manly effort the rebels may fail, and
policy and interest would incline the rebels to
submit to the United States, rather than to
England, France or Maximillisn. Joining theii
military forces they could then sweep this
Continent; and tn rs, at least, hide their shame,
while America would become the colossal
power of the world. On the other hand, some
Richmond editors, in view of the fact that they
have lost all seaports of consequence, make
great efforts to prove these disasters bless
ing. They say war is now their sole business
Conscription must be vigorously enforced, and
every ore that can must fight
The Richmond Wing believes that negroes
in the prime of life will make better soldiers
than whites over 80 years of age. Gen. Joe
Johns on, in speech at Columbia, said he was
out of service, and regretted that he could not
serve with the rebel soldiers.

NEW YORK, Jan. %.
A Philadelphia dispatch says, by The arrival
of steamer here, we learn that our entire
force under Gen. Terry had advanced towards
Wilmington, and were reinforced by heavy
column of troops from the South, believed to
be under Gen. Howard.
No heavy fighting occurred on the 18th and
18th, and it was thought our troops were meet
ing with little opposition.
An unconfrmed report prevailed that Will
midgton was evacuated, and would be at once
occupied by our forces. f
I The light draft gunboats were moving
cautiously toward that place, fishing for tor
ped6es. No doubt our troops would soon
take Wilmington, and the fall of Charleston
