Of dispatches to cur Governments, has

The Times Washington special saws the
Government has received a communication
from Col. Leavenworth, dated Esd Of Aurus q.
Home Creek, on the Arkansas river, near
| the western part of Kansas, in which it is
stated that an agreement has been entered
INTO with the Chiefs Of the Arrapahocs,
| Cheyennes, Kiswas and Camauchee Indians
TO meet commissioners on the part Of tho
United States on the 4th Of October next. at
Blud creek, forty miles south of the Little
Arkansas, to treat for perpetual peace be-
tween the United States Government and
the various tribes. If this meeting takes

The Southern mail service will from this
date be ae.i-suPportiug, notwithstanding
the great reduction the Postmaster General
has ordered in the amount of service. GOV.
Dsnnison has discovered On immense ex-
cess Of service was being performed in these
States at the breaking out Of the rebellion,
and IN re-estabhshing the mail service in
the South, he has been governed by the ne
cessity of the people.
Orders were issued by the War Depart
menG yesterday, discontnuiug the various
brigades Of Veteran Reserve Corps, ana the
commanding officers have been ordered 10

will have the effect OF greatly reducing the
expenses Of the Government.
The Herald's Washington special says
Cen Fisk, commissioner for Freedmen Blu
re4u in Tennessee, reports to the Depart
meut from Nashville under date Of Sept. 2I, /
as follows A large number OF slave owners
have testified their desire TO cooperate with |
the commissions ID secure tranquility and
order, but in addition thereto many re- |
fuse their support in the new condition Of |
thiugs, and resist the action OF the Govern |
lnent as far as practicable without endan-
gering their personal safety. Much Of the |
troutIo and agitation now existing 10 this /
State is owing % this class Of citizens. Freed
mems courts are crowded with applicants /
for Justice scaut and hard earned wages /
are withheld from coIorel people, and the
crack Of the whip and the use Of shackes /
are in many localities as common as ia the /
daysof their seryiJude. The great demand
for c5lored labor during the coming year
will do much 10 relieve their wants and reg
ulate their wages, and secure prompt pay
