Scene at the Interior Department.

This morning an interesting scene took
place in the Department Of the Interior
The Indian chiefs from Nebraska, with
whom The treaty has just been concluded,
called 10 pay their respects TO Mr.. Many
penny, the Commissioner Of Indian affairs.
The government has provided these noble
sons Of the forest with new outfits ofcom.
Portable clothing. Blue fTock coats, with
velvet collars and gilt buttons, rests and
panlaloons 10 correspond; fur caps, in
which are short featl ers or plumes, and
shoes, presenting a very comfortable and
civilized dress. On entering the commits.
s%ioner's room, each Of these chiefs was
presented with a miniature Z" star.spangled
banner" on a staff. With these, however
they were not pleased, but evinced a bet
ter feeling upon the assurance that The
tribes would soon be furnished with a large
and handsome national banner.
The commissioner held a long CONVEX.
saiion with them, through their interpreter,
during which he enjoined upon Them the
importance Of strictly adhering 10 their
treaty with our government; and heir
promises. 10 refrain from fighting, the use
Of ardent spirits, and other vices. After
further conversation, the Hon. Jefferson
Davis, secretary Of war, signifed his desire
10 hav can Interview with the shiefs.-
They were presented 10 that gentleman
BY Colonel Many penny and their inter
prefer, by their appropriate Indian names.
The noble looking chief who was The
spokesman Of the party, addressed the
secretary Of war at some length, detailing
the wrongs aud ouirages on their tribes
by the neighboriug tribes who had not
come into their treaty. ThereuPon. Mr..
Davis. using the fgurative style Of speech
employed BY the chief, remarked 10 him
thai "if the hostile tribes, with their hor-
SEES, trod out the figures Of the calico which
their great father had given them. he would
send his braves 10 tread out the grass ihaI
grew 10 their villages"
The chief with considerable animation
responded, "Whooi that was The tall
thai he liked 10 hear"
After many expressions Of good will on
both sides tho chiefs respectfully retired
