Indians Suing for Peace. The President has received a message from James Logan, Agent for the Creek Indians in Arkansas, conveying the pleasing intelligence that at the late meeting of the tribes called together in the Creek nation by Roly McIntosh, to establish amicable relations with each other, several chiefs from Texas attended. Among these were Now-no-hitch-tow-e, head chief of the Keachies, Ki-ki-see-no-hah, chief of a tribe residing on the Wichita, and Sar-powe-e, head chief of the Towaccanies. - They stated that they were all desirous to make peace with the Texians; and that several of the prairie tribes of Texas, including the Commanches, were also anxious for peace. They stated that they had been at war with the Texians for several years, and were tired of hostilities, and would long since have sent in a flag of truce to our settlers, but were fearful that they would be shot down. Mr. Logan further states, that they desire that Gen. Houston should designate a time and place to meet them, to form a treaty of peace. - They say that all the tribes of Texas, except a few renegade Cherokees, will send deputies to meet him at any place on the frontier that he may designate, and they think all the tribes residing on our borders, will readily join in concluding the treaty. - [Telegraph.
