Our New Indian Visitors. ARRIVAL OF PONCA CHIEFS. This morning the western train of the | Baltimore and Obio raflroad brought to this city Major E. A. Howard, the agent of the Ponca Indians, and a delegation of the chiefs or principal men of that tribe. ard bas with him Mr. E. Willard, his clerk; | Buptiste Barnaby and Charles LeClair, hail | breeds, as interpreters, and the following Indian ebtefs :—White le, Standing Bar- lalo, Bic Elk, Standing Bear, Black Crow, Smoke Maker, Frank LaF lish (half bree t), The Chier, Mitchell Serrie (half breed), Hairy Bear. and Big Snake. On their arrival they were at opce conveyed to the Washington House, where bre f were assigned comfort- able quarterr—a large room, fitted np with beds and chairs, being assigned the chie‘s, and afier a short rest they took breakfast. THEIR APPEARANCE. In —— they all look very mucn alike, elr ages range from 35 to 50 years. They are a remarkably well developed set of men, all Hem, from 5 feet 8 inches to & feet ip height. White Eagle is the principal ebief. He is tall and athletic, and wears a white snirt, blanket, and leggings with th sides worked with beads, and moccasins. He bas armiets between the shoulder and elbow. Standing Buffalo is another fine- looking man. He robes himself io a black- figured blanket. The other chiefs wear fig- ured shirts, Standing Rear boasting of one with @ fancy worked bosom. None of them wear any beaddress, their laxariant growth of jet black hair being ainple protection for thé head. They seem to regard the armlets and finger rings as indispensible, and some of them have rings on every Gnger. Btani ing Buffalo and Mitebell Serrie were here 18 years since, and the others are tozal stran- gers to the eascero states. FRIENDS OF THE WHITE MA it isone of their Doasts that a Poaca has never shed the blood of a white map, and their interpreters claim that of all the tribes they are the best.disposed of any of those who are not regarded as fully civilized. Tuey bad been for some years located in De kota, on the border land vetween eiviliza- on and the wild tribes, and they had been engaged Principally in the cultivation of the soil. They lived in log cabins and frame buildings, haviog their own horses, farming implements, and schools. Tuey were, how ever, removed by the government, last Jaly, to the Indian territory, aud hed to resort to Wigwams [or shelter for the time being. WHAT THEY WANT. They «lo not express any dissatisfaction at the remova!, but claim that they should be paid for their crops, wnteh were left in the ground, and there should bea better woder- standing as to the land, and that a claim they have against the Si: : or secured to them by the governme! y bow number about 800 souls. They will also ask assistance to educate their children. They will call at the White House to-inor- ef when the President will listen to their claims. ARMY OkDERS.—Lieu!. Colonel Charles H.

Thé share of the United States in these imports cannot be strictly stated, as the most of our goods reach the colovy through England. The ex- ports during 1516 amounted to $14,764,909, an increase of three and one-half mil. lions .on the preceding year. Of the:e exports the United States received diract $1,576,000; of which sugar constituted $1,756,- 785, and molasses $112,000. The colony is almost wholly dependent on the United States for its breadstuffs, provisions, horses, mules atd sheep. A large field is open in British Guiana for cotton manufactures, but st e to say, all the American favorite brands reach the colony through England. Direct exports from the United States to Demarara would greatly facilitate and enlarge this branch of trade. American holiow-ware, cutlery, tradesmen’s tools, leather, boots aud shoes, &c., ave gory ng A Appreciated, and command ready sales in the markets of the colony. The Consul has no doabt but that direct line of steamers between the United Staies aud British Guiana would flud proat- abie employment, and greatly extend te trade between the two countries.

HOUSE —On motion of Mr. Atkins, the House resolved itself into the committee of tbe whole on the army appropriatioa bill, Mr. Cox (N. Y.) in the chair. After we bill had been read in committee Mr. Atkins sald be was uncertain as to the wishes of the House on the subject of general debate ; neither be nor the committee had apy desire to restrict debate, aod he moval that the committee rise for the purpose of Lroiting general debate on Une bill. The committee rose, and afier a little dis- cussion, two bours was fixed as the tite, and at 12:50 p.m. the House again went into com- mittee.

Tuis had now been ausied, and the estimates for this year were for all new clothing for the army. The appropria- ons were made on a@ basis of an army of twepty thousand enlisted men. He b-lheved the army should be reduced to seventeen thousand mea, bat the committee hai not thought this a proper time to take action on this question. Mr.Atkins yieldedten minutes to Mr.Wool (N.Y.,) who said he had sought 22 floor not to discuss the army vill, butto make some general remark on the receip's and expeadi- tures of the government, but as he migut desire to occupy more than tea minutes he would yield the floor and seek other oppor- tunity for his remarks. ‘Mr. Foster said he believed the appr tions should be for an army of mo) men, bul In view of the necessities of tue ollicers who were paying £2.000a day in interes! he bad not the heart to make any captions opposition to the bill. He predicted a de- ficiency next year of 'wo millions and a hair dollars. He said the boasted reductions of last year hal when the books came to be written up come down to seventeen millions, contending that the appropriations were not sufficient, that the reduction was injudicious and au invitation to Indian wars and border raids.

As an evidence of the want of force he polpted to the fact that when Gen. Miles at. tacked Joseph he had but 18) men. Mr. Durbam advocated a reduction of the anny, and said in bis opinion the army should be reduced to fifteen thousand men. Referring to the clauses in the last bill, re- stricling the use of the troops tn the southera states, he said if the same circumstances ex isted now as existed then, although as a rule he was opposed to general legislation to an appropriation bill, he would not vote a dol- lar without such resirictious. He gave no tice that in the nextarmy bill he would ea- deavor to have the army reduced to 15,000 men. Mr. Singleton said when Gen.
