 A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Journal, in speaking of tie apartments oceupiedas the Indian bu- reau, says ttseir walls are covered with portraits of the Chiefs who Lave visited the capital as deputies from their sever- al tribes, and who are compiimented by haYing flaeir lilzanesses painted al the public expense. This array is spoken ot as very imposing, and the portraits quite interesting. The same writer saJs--s h the treaty room was shown a cabinet containing all the treaties to which the United States issa pasty.- Each is elegantly written upon pafch- ment, in the form of folio boeIs, thc cover of velvet, variously ornamented with gold, silver, or silk embroidery.--- Appended to each volume is heavy cord oi silk and gold, or silver, termiisa- ting in two large tassels of the same. 10 which IS fastened the seal of the foreign nation, impressed upon wax, and elclos- ed in a silyer.box, on the lid ofWhich the arms oi tine party is embossed. Ille English treaties are bound i'll crimson, iornamefted with gold crowns; the l American in purple worked Miih silk. ! examined withintefest the aatographsof lnearlyall the sovereigrs now iapower, l land of those from whom the seeptre has in one way or another departed. Ina
 third roornweTe exhibited, ,amongstother sights, a number of presents conferred 1 by foreign potentates upon American citizens, and which they deposited here 1 to avoid the disfranchisementde denounced 1 by the Constitution. A gold snufl-box, ladorned with diamonds, presented by the late Emperor of Russia to your
 townsnan Mir. Harris, is valued at Si5, I000. in the collection were some lsplendid medals, swords, guns, & O. C.
 injurious as the taritr has been to the lSouth, we think tllat the amount of that Injury has been greatly overrated, and that when Southern members of Con- gFess attribute the desoiation and de- Ipopuiationof ourstreets and lands othe
 tariff, they surely err. Remove every ] law imposing duties, and it would not iput q stop to emigration from these com Iparatively sterile regions to the fertile l lands of the Vest Thither the yeo-
 manry of fhe South bent their course before the Tariff of 1898, before tliaI q 1924, and before that of Isi6. Thifls-
 CT they will 90 in spite of all Tarins.-- To the sales and sacrifices Of propecsty,
 consequent upon every removal, and to
 the irresistible temptation to those who
 remain, to go il debt for the property ls,icfiHhiseda--w iiiicil tt'iiey seldom want. land as seldom pay for--is owing much Imore than to any Tariff, tfe poverty of the South.--Fageaetalle Odservey.
