From Washington,

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The representa-
tive chiefs of the Che yennes, Arapahoes, Cas
manches and other Indian tribes from the
plains, accompanied by the commissioner of
Indian affairs and superintendent of the CEN
sus, visited the executive mansion to-day, for
the purpose Of having a talk with their
''great father" the president. They were
very gaudily dressed for the occasion,
and formed a semi circle, seated on
the floor of the east room. Among
the many spectators present were the men,
bers of the cabinet, several foreign ministers
and attaches of legations, together with the la
dies of their households. In his opening
speech one of the chiefs said they had come
hither in obedience to the desire of their great
father, and were thus far highly gratiied with
their reception. The invitation had come
for them through the air and dropped down
like bird. This was an allusion to the tele
egraphic message to the Indian superinten-
dent. The president replied in a spirit of en-
enlargement of the difference between the
whites and the Indians both as to their mum.
bers ard social condition. He said the former
were great and prosperous because they de-
pended upon the arts of peace and
the fruits of the earth rather than
upon game and buffalo. Although we
were engaged in Il 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 government to live on terms
of peace with them. Care would be taken to
have them comfortably returned to their
homes. The Indians were evidently pleased
with their reception, and parted with the pres
ident after the usual Misunderstanding. The OBJ
ject 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 the emigration over the
plains.
The rebels who have from time to time been
sent south from Washington under flag of
truce always embarked gratfied with the at.
tention of their secession friends. This was
the case last night, when nearly 800 of the
prisoners were taken to the steamer State of
Maine. On leaving the wharf the rebels re-
turned the salutations from their sympathiz-
ers, principally women, by cheers and shouts
which were met by groans from the Union
soldiers.
Hon. Owen Lovejoy still continues ill in
Washington, but seems to be slowly recover

The Legislature.

FRIDAY, March 27.-After considerable rou-
tine business had been disposed Of the house
took up the militia bill. Messrs. Mason,
Wentworth, Harris, Chandler and Cheever
participated in the debate. Mr. Mason doubt
ed the constitutionality of the bill, providing
as it does for the enrolment of those exempted
by the United States law. Or, in plain Eng
lish, the word "white" is omitted in the bill.
Mr.. Chandler went farther in opposition,
doubling, not only the constitutionality
but the efficiency of the bill! claiming that
a small volunteer, force well trained and paid
for their service, would be more effective
than the masses enrolled at large, and illus
trating his point by reference to tie new or
ganization Of the fire department. Great
stress was laid in the discussion on the fact
that our choicest material for officers as well
as rank and file is absent in active service
and any system now established will lack
their energy and military knowledge.
The bill was then laid aside, and after some
matters of minor Importance, Mr.. Hopkins of
Northampton introduced a resolution, ex-
pressing most eloquently the heart Of Massa-
chusetts towards our soldiers in the field, and
pledging our support SO long as a rebel re-
mains in arms.
The rules were suspended, and the resolu-
luton passed through its several stages, and
finally engrossed by vote of l29 affirmative,
none opposing. But three members, SO far
as was noticed, refused to vote -one of them

TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SP7

LOUISVILLE, March PA special dispatch
to the Journal says, so men of the 9th Ken
lucky cavalry surprised the rebel pickets in
the vicinity of Danville, last evening, who
retreated into Danvlle in great disorder. The
rebel force in DanvIlle was 2500, including
the LIST Georgia regiment. This proves that
the rumors of the rebel abandonment Of Dan
vile are incorrect.

Kentucky is believed to be about 5000, under
Gen. Pegram. 1t is reported that Woolfords

Clarke's guerrilla still hover around Mount
Sterling. Over 200 of his men have been
captured since Sunday. Among the prison
ers taken are two majors-one a paymaster,
with $4,000 in confederate money. Tele-
grams in late rebel papers indicate that Gen.
Longstreet, with large army, Is pushing rap

The MOZART SoCiETY's CONCERT NEXT
THURSDAY EvENING.-On its programme we
find one of Haydn's religious compositions,
his second Mass. 1t is well entitled to the
place given to it, and although written for the
service of one branch of the church, and
adapted to dead language, genuine catho-
llcity refuses to recognize in its judgments
these merely accidental circumstances. but
asks, rather, in regard to this class of music,
if devout aspirations, and thankfulness and
peace, which are common to every church,
are among its fruits? On this point there can
be in no doubt. The Army Hymn of Holmes,
with the music to which it was set by an emf
nent German musician in Boston, will be sung
by Mr.. Richards, in the chorus of which ev-
cry voice and instrument WILL join. From
''David" we are to have the chorus of
Daughters of Israel" We hear, too, there
will be songs and quartettes by our best sing
ers. We may say something more of them
on smother day. 1t is enough now that we
draw public attention to the concert and ask
for it continuation of that liberal support
which this old association has always had and
deserved.

CONFEDERATION AT SOUTH BRooKFIELD.
The village of South Brookfeld was visited
with disastrous fire, Thursday morning, de-
stroying property to the amount of $4,000.
The store occupied by j. H. Rogers was con-
sumed, with all its contents, at a loss of $780,.
600; insured for $4,000. The fire communi-
Gated to the boot and shoe mandatory of
Mossman & Twichel, which was also destroy
ed; loss $4,000, insured inLiverpool, Salem,
Lynn, and Worcestershire Merchants and
Farmers insurance company having $500 on
the stock. The dwelling house and barn of
Aaron Kimball were next destroyed, the furni-
ture alone being saved and that in damaged
condition. The loss was estimated at $l0,-
OO0-insured for $4,000 in the old Worcester
Mutual. Three other barns Of slight value
were destroyed, and with them the further
spread of the fire was checked.
The fire originated in the store of Mr.. Rog-
ers, but precisely in what manner is moi
known. Two young men connected with this
store barely escaped with their lives. The
hotel adjoining the burnt district was exposed
and the furniture was removed, but the active
efforts of the fremen saved it from destruc-
ton. Many workmen are thrown out of en-
| ploy by this disaster. 1t lis probable, how
ever, that their misfortune will be but tempo
rary one, as the enterprising people of that
village will soon repair the loss.
