THE PROSPECT.

Since the rebellion broke out we have had
alterations of light and darkness hope and
despair Joy and gloom. At the time OF the
battle at Fredericksburg, and for some weeks
following, it was day of darkness and des-
pondency. But now the light is again break
ing forth, and buoyant spirit is everywhere
manifest. There seems to be universal feel
ing of confidence in the success of our cause at
no very distant day. There are omens of good
all about US. Throughout the Northern States
business is prosperous, never perhaps more So.
The Finance Scheme of the Government re-
Gently adopted promises to ba an entire success.
Our army is said to be in good working and
fighting condition, the men in fine spirits, and
confident of victory when next they meet the
enemy. The accounts that come to us from
the rebels, in great variety of ways, show that
there is much suffering and restitution among
them, and no little disafiection on account OF
the stringent measures adopted by the Confed-
crate Government to obtain men and supplies
for the rebel army.
The progress that our army and fleet at the
West have been making towards the reduction
of vicksburg and Port Hudson and the control OIL
the Mississippi, is of an encouraging character
and promises complete success in good time
The news that comes to us of the success of oul
colored troops now operating in Florida, has in
spred confidence in the utility of that branch
of service, and we trust will lead to the imme-
diate enlistment of all the negroes, bond or
free, that can be obtoined.
The dislayal spirit at the North, which OF
late has been so rampant and so defiant, has
met with check, and is fast sinking into night
and nothingess. 1t will soon be dead and
buried in an ignominous grave.
The appointment of Gen. Burnside to a
command at the West, is guaranty that Ken
lucky and Tennessee are to be delivered before
long from the hated presence of armed rebels.
The rebels now have no hope, and we no
fear of Foreign invasion.
These are among the cheering signs of the
times: these are the suspicious omens that are
prophetic Of success to cur cause ; the cause Of
right, of liberty, of justice, of humanity.

The Indian Chiefs visit to the President.
THE OBJECT OF THEIR COMING.

lie OBJEIl Of lllflh NOAllNbs
The representative chiefs of the Cheyennes,
Arapahoes, Camanches and other Indian tribes
from the plains, accompanied by the commiss-
Toner Of Indian affairs and superintendent fthe
census, visited the executive mansion on Friday,
for the purpose Of having a talk with their great
father the president They were gaudiiy dress
ed for the occasion, and formed a semi circle
seated on the floor of the east room. Among
the many spectators present were the members
of the cabinet, several foreign ministers and at
taches of legations, together with the ladies OF
their households. In his opening speech, one
of the chiefs said they had come hither in ODE
dience TO the desire of their great father and
were thus far highly giatiied with their recep-
ton. The invitation had come for them through
the air and dropped down like bird. This was
in allusion TO the teegIaphic message to the
Indian superintendent. The president replied,
and in a spirit Of encouragement pointed out
the difference between the whites and the lndi-
ans both as to their number and social condition.
He said the former were great and prosperous
because they depended upon the arts OF peace
and the fruits of the eerih rather than upon
game and buffalo. Although we were engaged
in great and ugly war, yet in the main we
were not so much disposed to fight and Kill one
another as our red brethren had been to Stay
us. He remarked that it was the desire of the
governmental live on terms of peace with them.
Care would he taken to have them comfortably
returned to their homes. The Indians were ev-
identity pleased with their reception and parted
with the president after the u. ual hand shaking.
The object in bringing them to Washington was
to impress them with the extent of our country
and the numbers and power of our people and
to conclude with them treaties of peace of vast
importance TO emigration over the plains.

SEIZURE OF Col. NLCoTT.-We have in
formation from private letter as well as from
the Press that Col. Tacott was arrested in New
York last Friday, and by order of Gen. Wool
was conveyed to Fort Lafayette. He was for
merly connected with the Corps of Engineers
of the United States. On the breaking out of
the rebellion it is understood that he Joined the
ConfeGorGcy, ard was employed as an Engineer
and overseer of important works at Richmond
and elsewhere; thus laboring to destroy that
Government under whose protection, and in
the enjoyment Of whose privileges and blessings
his family were at the same time living. After
being in the employ of the rebels for time, we
understand that he and one or two Of his sons
went TO Mexico to take charge of the construc-
ton of railroad, and that when captured he
was on his way to Europe TO purchase iron for
the railroad. He has now an opportunity 10

LEcTURE.-We were so fortunate as to hear
the Lecture delivered in the Town Hall in this
village on Thursday evening, March 26th, by
c. F. Davey Esq, of New York. We were
not only highly pleased with the lecture, but
edited and inspired by its manly, loyal tone.
The subject of the lecture was the Times and
the speaker pointed out some Of the lessons
taught by the gigantic struggle in which we are
engaged, and some OF the duties which the
present crisis imposes upon u.s. He also spoke
of the encouraging aspects of our affairs, which
should nerve us for the conflict, and make US
persistent and persevering in prosecuting the
war. His rebuke of the disloyal spirit so rife
in some parts of the North, was as whitening
as it was just; and he urged the necessity of
unity and earnestness in support IF the officers
of our government. The lecture was well con-
sidered, written in q clear and classical STYLE
full of high moral sentiments, and delivered
with earnrsiness and grace. II is wnll adapted
to the times, and suitcbe 10 be delivered before
any audience of intelligent men and women.
We were sorry that the unfavorable weather
and the muddy walking deprived so many OF
our citizens OF the pleasure Of hearing it.
