FROM WASHINGTON.
Visit Of Indian Chiefs to the President.
Secession Sympathy in Washington.
Appointment of Disbursing Clerk.

WASHINGTON. March 81
The representative chiefs of the Cheyennes,
Arapahoes, Camanches and other Indian tribes
from the plains, accompanied by the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs and Superintendent of
Census, visited the Executive mansion to-day
for the purpose Of having talk with their
great father the President. They were gaudily
dressed for the occasion, and formed a semi
circle, seated on the floor of the East room
Among the many spectators present were
members of the Cabinet, several foreign Min
listers and attaches of Legations, together with
the ladies 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 Tar highly pleased with
their reception. The invitation had came for
them through the air and dropped down like
a bird. This was in allusion to a telegraphic
message to the Indian Superintendent The
President replied, and in a spirit of encourag-
ment pointed out the difference between the
whites and Indians, both as to their numbers
and social condition. He said the former were
great and prosperous; besides, they depended
on the arts of peace and fruits OF the earth
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 il was
the desire of the government to live on terms
Ol peace Win tnein. care would be taken to
have them comfortably returned to their
homes. The Indians were evidently pleased
with their reception, and parted with the Presi-
dent after the usual 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 con-
clude with them treaties of peace of vast i'm
portance to emigration over the plains.
The rebels who have from time to time been
sent South IRON Washington under a flag OF
truce always embark gratited with the attea-
tions of their secession friends. This was the
case last night when nearly 500 of such pris-
oners were taken to the steamer State of
Maine. On leaving the wharf the rebels re-
turned the salutations from their sympathizers,
principally women, by cheers and shouts,
which were met by groans from The Union
soldiers.
Hon. Owen Lovejoy still continues in in
Washington, but seems slowly recovering his
health.
David Wagner, OF York, Penn, has accept
ed the position of disbursing clerk of the U.
S. Senate. in place of Bowen resigned. Mr..
Wagner was for many years editor of the
Lancaster Examiner, a journal of great political
influence, aud besides was cashier of the York
Bank for 26 years. He is admirably adapted
for the responsible position to which he has

It's What You Spend.

"It's what theen spend, my son" said
a sage old Quaker, mot what thee'H
make, which viii decide whether thee's
to be rich or not The advice was
trite, for it was Franklin's in another
shape: "Take care of the pence, and
the pounds viii take care of themselves. "
But it cannot be too often repeated.
Men are continually indulging in small
expenses, saying to themselves that it is
only trife, yet forgetting that the ag-
gregate is serious, that even the sea
shore IS made of petty grains of sand.
Ten cents day is even thirty-six dollars
and half a year, and that is the inter
est of a capital of six hundred dollars.
The man that saves ten cents a day only,
is so much richer than he who does not,
as if he owned a life estate in a house
worth six hundred dollars, and if in
vested quarterly, does not take half
that time.
But ten cents a day is chiid's play,
some will exclaim. Well, then, John
Jacob Aston used to say that when a
man who wishes to be rich has saved ten
thousand dollars, he has won half the
battle. Not that Astor thought ten thou
sand much but he knew that ia making
sncn a sum man acquired habits OF
prudent economy which would keep him
advancing In wealth. How many, how
ever, spend ten thousand in a few wears
In extra expenses, and then, on LOOKING
back, cannot tell, as they say, wbere
the money went to" To save, is to get
rich To squander, even in small sums
is the first step toward the poor-house.

a BEAN SToRY-A good story is told
on a certain firm who purchased beans
for the army. They had accumulated
few barrels of refused beans, which had
been separated from the beans sent to
the army. One of the firm, who likes
practical joke, met commercial friend
the other day and asked him to take
few barrels of beans which he had on
hand. The price was stated and the bar
gain made When the beans were deliv-
cred, as they soon were, the commercial
man discovered the sell. He immedi-
ately hunted up the partner of the man
who had sold him, who by the way was
ignorant of the transaction:
Buying beans for the army2" queried
the commercial man.
Eyes sir; got any to sell?'
'Got few barrels at the warehous e.
What are you selling for?'
cents.
am pay the price if you'll deliver
them.
The bargain was concluded instanter
The practical joker of the bean firm was
chuckling to himself over the joke he
had played on his commercial friend
when a dray arrived with the indentica
barrels of beans that he had sold to him
His partner arrived at about the same
time, when the temperance of the
beans was accounted for. The CONNER
cial man had returned them the beans a
an advance, and the bean contractor al
lowed he was ahead and knew beans.

A ScoRcHNG REBUKE.-They have
already regiment of negro troops in
Nashville, Tennessee. On last Saturday
as the regiment was marching through
the city to the music of national airs,
quite an instructive incident took place
in one of the principal business houses,
as we learn from the Nashville Union.
Several gentlemen were looking on the
parade, and among them wealthy Ala
bsma planter and large stakeholder
One of the group stepped out to the
door, looked on for few moments, then
Indignantly turning on his heel, address
ed himself to the grave Albanian, to
the following purport:
Well, I'll be id, if that is not a
burning disgrace, which no decent white
man can tolerate. Isn't that negro
regiment too great an insult?'
The Alabamian jumped on his feet,
and replied, while his eyes flashed FIRE:
Sir, there is not negro in that regi-
ment who is not better man than a
rebel to this Government, and for whom
have not thousand times more respect
than l have for a traitor to his country.
think that the possible use the Govern
ment can make of negroes is to take
them and make them fight against the
rebels. No traitor is too good to be
killed by a negro, no weapon too severe
to use against the wretches who are en-
deavoring to overthrow the Government
Now, sir, swallow that, whether you like
it or not.
The rebel darted off in utter amaze
ment, without uttering syllable of re
ply, leaving the sturdy Albanian, VIII,

something more precious than focks o
slaves, alone in his glory"
