The delegation of Southern chiefs now
in this city-cousisting of Creek, Seminole
and ChickAsaw Indians-paid a visit to the
camps on the other side of the river, on
yesterday, in company with Commissioner
Dole and lady, Mrs. General Lane, Major
Cutler fCreek agent, Mr.. ruth, &c.
They witnessed review of General Butter
fields brigade, and were highly gratifed at
seeing the evolutions of the troops. They
also witnessed review Of General Blenk-
er's division. After visiting the various
forts and inspecting the artillery and mu-
ntions Of war, they expressed the most IN
limited confidence in the success of the
Union cause, and said their only wish was
that all the chiefs in the Southwest could
have the same opportunity to see how base
ly the Conlederates had lied to them when
they told then tue Government of the
United States was broken to pieces, and
had no army or guns to fight with.
The utmost pains were taken by Generals
ButteTfield, Wadswortb, Mcdowell, BIenker,
&c, to make it an agreeable visit, and to
give the Indians an opportunity % see as
much as possible of the army. They re-
turned highly pleased with their visit, and
satisfied that the Government can whip a
half dozen Southern Confederacies.-StaT.

FIT MONROE, December I6.-Norfok and
Richmond papers give full particulars of
the conhagration at Charleston. The Ere
broke cot Oh the Ilth inst, in sash and
Blind factory, at the foot of Hazel street,
extending TO the machine shop of Cameron
& Co, aud before midnight the FIRE had as
sumed 40 appalling magnitude, and Meet
ing street, from Market to Green, was
mass of flame, as tenement after tenement
was enveloped in flames. The panic be-
came awful and thousands of families eyac-
usted their houses and filed the streets
The building in the lower part of the city
where the lire broke out, were principally
of wood, and extremely inhamaable, which
accounts for the remarkably rapid progress
of the fire.
At midaigbt, the Circular Church and
Institute Hall were burning and-the prox-
unity of the flames to the Charleston Hotel
and the Mills House, caused them to be
evacuated by their inmates. At l o'clock
the Ere tended more Southwark toward the
corner of Arcbdaie and Queen streets, to
the rear Of the Charleston Hotel AMI to the
end of Holmes street. Crossing Market
street, the FIRE spread down East Bay to
Cumberland street and across 10 the Mills
House, including in it's destruction the
Circular Church, Institute Hall and the
Charleston Hotel. All the buildings on
King street, from Clifford nearly to Broad,
were destroyed before 3 O'Clock.
Gen. Ripley, who superintended the move
ments of the troops who arrived on the
| scene about this time, ordered several build
ings on the route of the confagration to be
| blown up. After some delay, the order
was executed, but not before the Theatre,
Lloyd's Coach Factory, opposite the Express
| office, the old Executive building, and all
the houses from this point to Queen street
had caught FIRE and were destroyed.
! At about o'clock, the wind changed
| the direction of the flames toward Broad
street. Soon after, St. Andrews FALL took
| fire; subsequently,, the Cathedral, the
| spire of which fell shortly after 5 o'clock.
| The FIRE made clear sweep through the
city, making its track from East Bay to
King street. The Charleston Courier of the
| 18Th inst. gives a list of between two and
| three hundred sufferers, and says the loss is
estimated at S5,0OO,00O to 100000.
Mr. Russell, at whose factory the fire
| originated, thinks it must have been &C.
casioned by an incendiary or by the negli-
geuce of the negroes. The Mills House is
only slightly damaged.
A message was sent to the Confederate
Congress on Friday, by President Davis, in
relation to the eonfagration at Charleston
recommending an appropriation in aid o.
the sufferers. A resolution was accordingly
unanimously adopted by Congress appropri-
ating S250,0O0, as an advance on account o
claims of South Carolina upon the Confed-
crate States.
A dispatch from Richmond dated 14tt
inst, says that the -Federals, 5000 strong
attacked Col. Edward Johnston at VALLEY
Mountain on the 18th inst, but were re
pulsed with great loss, after an engagement
of several hours.

WASHINGTON, December l7.--SENATE.--
| A bill was received from the House to au-
thorize the raising of volunteer force for
the defense of Kentucky. On motion OF
Mr. Powell it Was referred 10 the military
committee.
Mr. Sumner presented several petitions
! for the emancipation of the slaves of rebels.
Mr.. Wilson reported bill for an increase
of the cadets at West Point.
Mr.. Latham offered a resolution that the
Secretary of War be requested to inform the
Senate by virtue of what law and what rea-
son passports are required from passengers
from New York to San Francisco.
Mr.. Sherman offered resolution that the
Secretary of War be requested to furnish to
the Senate a copy of all the correspondence
between Gen. Scott and Gen. Patterson.
Agreed TO.
Mr.. Sumner introduced bill in relation
TO the claims for the French spoliations.
HoUsE.-yr. Bingham, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported back the joint resoln-
ton directing and requiring the Provost
Court at Alexandria, Va, to retain and
safely keep in its custody any property
taken as that of persons engaged or aiding
the rebellion against the United States, I'M

the same. The resolution passed
The House resumed the consideration Of
the special order, being Mr.. Elliott's resO-
luton proposing the emancipation of the
slaves of the rebels, &c.
Mr.. Harding, of Kentucky, invoked the
calm and patriotic consideration of the
subject now before the House. 1t was with
the deepest pain that he witnessed the intro
duction of the proposition at any early
period in the session and the attempt TO
pass it under the operation of the previous
question. He thought that there was a dis
position 10 exclude all reflection and refusal
to pause in the apparently mad career, but
when disposition was afterwards shown
to act with deEberation, his hopes revived.
Mr.. Harding then proposed to elaborate
the following propositions:
Ist We have no Constitutional power
to pass them, or any bills on the subject.
End, As he proceeded to show, from copi-
Gus extracts, Congress and the President
and the Administration stand pledged in
the most solemn and public manner against
all interference with slavery, therefore to
sanction such policy would be palpable
violation Of the plighted faith of his govern
ment.
Bird, He opposed the resolution, because
legislation on the SUBJECT IS forbidden
by every principle of sound policy.
4th, Heopposed them,a all kindred meas
ures, because they wonld inaugurate war
which would involve in its horrors, loyal
and disloyal, the innocent and guilty, and
a warfare disgraceful to any civilized and
Christian nation.
In the course of his remarks he said this
war has nothing more to do with slavery
than with any other institution. Let slavery
alone, it viii take care of itself
He showed the injustice Of diverting the
war from its original design, namely, the
restoration of obedience to the Constitution,
and laws and the preservation of the Union.

MODIFIcATIoN.-A single word; nay, q
single letter, may have an importance that
the inventor OF letters never thought Of
For example, the following passage 10 the
late message, was general printed thus:
f'We should not be IN haste to determine
lOhdt radical and extreme-hneasures, which
may reach the loyal as well IS the disloyal,

This was enough to afre the heart Of
the Louisville Journal, or others of that
persuasion, because it carried the plain i'm
plication that some radical and extreme
measures reaching the loyal rs well as the
disloyal, are Indispensable. The true read

makes the matter correct ITO a THO.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I6.-The President
has received no official information from
England relative to the Mason and SlidelI
affair. The Cabinet has been in session
several hours to-day, during which our
difficulty with England was discussed with
great ealmness aud frmDess. Whatever
the demands from England may be, and the
English newspaper buster is not taken as
any true indication Of that government,
our government has resolved that Mason
and Slidell shall never be given up. This
may be relied upon as fixed fact. The
impression is that England would make a
demand for the release of the rebels seized,
but that leugthy correspondence will set
tie the matter without 81 war
