BE VOL. XXXV SPEECH OF MR. BENNETT, SENATOR FROM UNION, la Reply to the Seaator from Vigo, and His Attack L'pon the People of Vt'arnc Conaty. DELIVERED IX THE SENATE, DEC. 13, IMS. Mr. President: I lia'l not intended to say one wonl in reference to the location of ttie Agricultural College, as I did not consider myself tiie e9ecia champion of either of the cont-nt'.ing partiea in this controversy. Hut, sir, I cannot allow the extraordinary speech of the Senator from Vi;;o, J 19 uttered on this floor, to pass unanswered. That speech, sir, was an extraordinary one in many respects. That it wait a well digested, and premeditated ertort. is evi dent both from the fact, that it wa re-id from manuscript, and from its well pol ished rhetoric. And while I would cheerfully hear testimony to the ac knowletlired ability, and eloquence of the Senator, and add thereto my hih appreci ition of Lis brilliant soci:d qualities, his generous manhood, and his high-toned chivalry, I submit to the Senate whether his speech, in wit, is not inferior to the erfoit-i of Petroleum V. Nasby ; in high-drawn imaginations and downright misrepresentations, but little improvement on the time-honored efforts displayed in the history of Sinoad the Sailor, the travels of Gulliver, or the stories of Munchausen ; and in bitter hatred of the loyal people of the country, it did not surpass the violent harangues of Davis, Yancey and Toombs or the belligerent proclamations of Lee, Beauregard and Johnston. Had I leisure, and a well authenticated Latin Lexicon, I might bo able to decipher the quotations by the learned Senator, for I, too, was once a school boy, and indulged in the luxury of translating Homer, and scanning Virgil, for which the Senator from Vigo lias such an enthniastic admiration. Hirt as I am actins under an emergence- clause. I must content myself with passing by these mysterious mutterings of the ancient dead, hoping they do not contain the deadly poison that is to destroy the Union party in Indiana, and devote m3'self to that portion of the Senator's speech, which comes to us clothed in plain English. The Senator was so devoted to his written performance, and the invited guests being present at the literarj- banquet, that it must be delivered, whether in the penitentiary or not. He was so full of wrath and spite toward the county Wayne, that his pent up eloquence, and smoldering logic must have vent, or prove dead capital in the hands of the producer. The county of Wayne was not ligitimntely in the debate, as the proposition to locate the Agricultural College in that eonnty had not been offered by the Senator from Wayne, who has it in charge. Neither would the distinguished Senator from Vigo allow himself to be questioned by any Senator during the delivery of his remarkable speech. His part in the play was well devised, and ho could not allow himself to be diverted. He reminded me of a juvenile story I once heard. A young lady had a class of little boys at Sunday School, and had them well trained, each to answer to a certain question. The first would be asked "Who made you?" Answer -'tiod ' To the next; ""Who was the oldest man?" Answer, Methusaleh." To the next, "Who was the first man ?" Answer "Adam." To the next, "Who built the Ark?" Answer "Noah." I So well she had them drilled that she concluded to invite their parents to a public examination of the class. The time came, and the class was called, but the first boy happened to be absent. So to the tirst question, who made you?" The second boy gave his usual answer "Methusaleh," and each in his turn answered the aforesaid question, with " Adam," " Noah," Ac., until finally one little fellow explained the trouble, by saying. " Madam, the little hov that God made ain't here to-day." So with the Senator from Vigo, he cannot answer a siugle question, for "the little boy that God made ain't here" in his case. Mr. President, I shall not attempt to answer all the charges made by the Senator against Wayne county. In fact, sir, I might simply use the language of a distinguished statesman. "Old Wayne" is an Agricultural college of herself. No county in the State can compete with her in any of the elements of greatness) and prosperity, I care not in what re spect you view her, whether in her fertile farms, her substantial improvements, her agricultural, mechanical and educational advancements, her wealth, her intelligence, her morals, or her devoted loyalty. Sir, I hnre been in almost eve ry State in this Union. The fortunes o war carried me into nearly all the State of the Sunny South. I saw their mio-h ty forests, their majestic rivers, and their perpetual summer irardens. I hav traversed the great Nortwest, and view ed their grand prairies, their prosperou ' cities, their mighty strides toward em pire. I have been in all the great mid die States, and seen their untold wealtfc and their marble cities. And recently ' visited every New England State thland of learning and science, of poetr and song, philsophy and religion. wandered by her sea shores, strolle along the sloping banks of ber ciassi rivers, climbed her great monumenu erected to commemorate the history c great events, and the virtues of hrmighty dead. I ascended her white-car ped and cloud piercing mountains, an : from their summits, at one glance, coul sec the ocean and the lakes. I crosse the great chain of inland seas, and tt my republican soles on the monarchic! oil of her Britannic Majesty. I viewe the great St. Lawrence from end to enc with its great sublimity of scenery it quaint and walled cities, its terrible rap ids and ite Thousand Isles. And I de clara to-day, that I nowhere on God' green earth saw a spot that in all th lamanta of boat, fertility and healthy

JUST AND FEAR NOT! LET ALL THE RICH3IOXD, in all that makes life desirable, as a place in which to be born . to live, and to die, that surpasses the grand old county of Wayne. I should like, if I bad time, to institute a comnarison be- : tween Wayne and the couniy of Sulli J van, which the Senator from Vigo has i the doubtful honor to represent on this I floor. It would be like a comparison of I M: ss.ichusetts and South Carolina. I Mr. HANNA, interrupting, said : j " Does the Senator regard 31 assachusetts I as his model State?" 1 Sir. as between Msasarhnsctts and

So ith Carolina, the former is to the lat- i never dreamed of interfering with that ' ter as heaven is to hell. When after i office. From their high position of in- ', years of absence.

And mister moons enpardi,e the sight, A Auii of beauty, virtue, valor, truth, j Time tutored sjre and love exalted youth. j The first charge made by the Senator j is that Wayne county is distinguished ! for her disobedience to law, and for , mobs. lie instances the oft-repeated ; case of insult offered to Henry Clay by j .Mr Mcndenhall ; and lieie the distinguished Senator pays a glowing eulogy 1 upon the name of that great statesman, I and couples with it that of Webster, , Jackson and Silas Wright.

Sir, it was at thnt time that the Senator need shed no crocodile tears ! infamous Legislature of 1803 was setting nor utter any post mortem groans over ! 5n tIlis capitol plotting means of destruc the name of the illustrious Commoner. tion to the nation, while a Hood of treaHis fame is a jewel not found in that I son was pouring over the land, and the Senator's crown.

that long, bony finger with which he pointed out the true pathway of renown to his countrymen is palsied in the grave but his great name, and proud example, still lives and calls upon his countrymen to stand by the flag of the Union. Webster, too, is dead, and that eloquent voice with which he enraptured listening Senates, and thrilled his countrymen with emotions of patriotism and valor, is no longer heard ; but though dead, he yet speaketh on the side of freedom, loyalty, and the great principles of his favored New England. Jackson, too, I has left this earth, and gone up yonder, I yet from his orbit in the great constel i la-ion above he repeats to us, "The i Union of the States must and shall be ! preserved." The Senator cannot turn j to these great memories and find consoi Iations for the deep damnation of his j party. And I point him to the immor tal Douglas, the giant of his time, and once the proud leader of the Democracy. ; His last legacy to us was those immor tal words-that -there were but two parties j in this contest patriots and traitors." I The people of Wayne county belong 10 i one of these parlies, anil the Sullivan ' county constituents of the Senator to the ! other. And th handwriting has been ) so plainly written on the wall in the blood ! of our martyred heroes, that no man can 1 mistake its meaning. I The Senator from Vigo arraigns Wavne county on an indictment of his ' ow n drawing, but which was doubtless ' founded by a grand jury of Sullivan ' county patriots, in " Golden Circle" assembled. The first count is that one - just disposed of. The second is. that a : mob of Wayne county people misused ( one John L. Robinson. The tacts of ; that case are, that a citizen of Richmond j Henry Shombre, a young man of noble , parts, a generous heart, and brilliant in- j tolled, emigrated to Kansas duriugthe controversies there between the Free State men and the Uorder Ruffians. , Young Shombre, true to the instincts of his nature, and education of his boy- , hood, enlisted in the cause of freedom, j and was killed in one of the affrays, fallj ing a victim to that damnable power that j gaining strength from the nourishment ; of the Senator's party, afterward attempted not the ..death of one man, ; but the death of the Republic, and filled ' a million of graves. The news of his lamentable death had jut come to his ; family at Richmond. Loving hearts 1 were bleeding with anguish, and the weeds of mourning were hung around , the stricken city. It was then, this man Robinson, in ad ! dressing a Democratic meetinc in that I city, disregarding the mournful occasion. j forgetting the common decencies of life, j charged that the feeble young man had j met a dishonorable fate, and said he , ought to have been thus killed. A j brother in-law of the yonng man was present, and became so highly incensed, j that he administered personal chastise 1 ment to the honerable gentleman. Orj der was only restored by the interference 1 of prominent Republicans. This was j doubtless a violation of law, but it finds an apology in the heart of every honorable and chivalrous man. Yet all this was tut the act of one man, for which the county was In no wise responsible. I should not thus have referred to John L. Robinson, had his name not been marshaled by the Senator from Vigo, to assist in the vile work of slandering the people of Wayne coonty. I would much rather hareJeft bim to'the quiet of the tomb, bnt neither the living nor the dead hall prevent me from defending a noble people froa malicious and outrageous

WAYXE CO., .. assanlt. The next count in the indict ment is that a mob of Wayne count,, people destroyed the Jefertonian printin office in Richmond, and the conclusio. attempted to be drawn, that free speec" and free press are denied there. Sir, fo years the people of Richmond submitte to the publication of that traitorousheet in their midst. Day after day i uttered its slanders against the men wh were charged with the salvation of th Republic, aud discouraged the army who had rallied to save all that was dear to freemen. The people of Wavne county nd pity upon the miseraMe wreicli wtio ! rlsulv advertised Ins treason to the wria. i But a company of Illinois soldier hapi pened there, on their way home from a i loiiij imprisonment in the hellish murder ! mills of Andersonville. They had just i escaped the clutches of that pink of j Democratic virtue. Captain Wirz. whose i recent execution the ftiends of the Senaj tor from Vigo denominate a murder and biitche-! -These brave boys, fresh lr m i the gory battle fields of the country, and I the dirt of the prison pen upon their i garments, stinging under the thought ; that while they were suffering to uphold the proud fabric of their fathers, thero were fiends at homedisseminatingtreason in the land where nothing but universal . , am f 1 ' ! Ptrlot' should ha h f"ni lu,etI .V tiemolislied tnat otnee, and went on their way home. This, too, may have been a violation of law, but it finds art apology deep down in the heart of every soldier in the country. They erred doubtless, but they erred on the side of public virtue and public loyalty. Sir, I can tell the Senator from Vigo, that at that time public sentiment was so strong in the arm", such a feeling was aroused in the breasts of every soldier, that had their faces been turned homeward, every Copperhead press in the land would have been destroyed, and every "sour apple tree" in the country would have groaned put mem into prison again 10 sausiy ine grim visaged monsters assembled around the council fires of the Sons of Liberty at Ihe hour of midnight? No, thank God, the people of Wayne county are not so brutalized, but they leave the imprisonment f soldiers, the shooting of enrolling officer, and acts of kindred nature to the Confederate loving constituents of the Senator of Vigo, in the Godforsaken county of Sullivan that specially favored spot, which the devil, when he offered the whole world to the Savior, reserved as a homestead for himself. The next count in this remarkably precious document, drawn with such care by the Senator from Vigo, is that once on a time one poor little Sam. Cox, who, but for this unfortunate resurrection made by his friend from Vigo, had been considered as dead, and even this memory faded away from the minds of his unapprecialing fellow citizens, had received a whipping at the hands of somebody at this same bloodthirsty village Owing to the presence of the many ladies here assembled, I shall be compelled to decline a full justice to the other wisi delicious banquet which the Senator has pleased to set before us. The visit of the honorable gentlemen to Richmond wns connected with a visit to the fair attaches of a certain traveling show which happened to be then in that city, and like I1 other animals that follow up that kind of prey, fell in with a "bisjrer purp" and got thrashed That is the whole of the Cox case." The next count in the grand indictment, is tht a certain quiet party of the good citizens of Abington had occasion to visit the town of Centrevillo, on some purpose of benevolence or patriotism, and while there a party of "shoulder hitters," "roughs," an 1 "dead rabbits" from the belligerent ciiy of Richmond. stole over to Centreville ami captured most of these nmiamble Abingtonians, and pursued the remainder to their peaceful homes, and dragged them off to some horrible Rastile, or Lincoln dnn geon. TLe history of that case is simply this. A lot of drunken Copperheads, from Adington, went to Centreville, wearing butternut emblems, and shouting for JefT. Davis, knowing that all the voting men were in the army, and supposing the old Q takers wouldn't fight, and not fearing the women and children. Rut the Sheriff and his posse captured a portion of them, and put them iu jail to prevent the old women and boys from lynching them. An indignation meeting was called in the "Golden Circle' of Abington, and a ra' organized to captnre Centreville. And a force of forty or fiflv drunken ! Copperheads, rebel refugees and army 1 deserters, mounted on horses and mules, i and armed with pistols, shot guns, brass ! knucks and slung shots, entered the town, and commenced a series of barbarous acts worthy of the palmy days of Sulivan county. A dispach was sent to Richmond. A party of dozen men came over, charged on the motley crew of traitors, and the doughty "heroes o? Abington fled in confusion, paralleled only in the battle of Pogne's Run, leaving behind only about a dozen who were so drank they ceuldn't get away. But the Richmond boys had not yet sufficient sport, so they pursued the fleeting column of the enemy, easily following the trash by the scattered butternut emblems, deserted arms, and empty flasks. The villiage of Abington was surrounded, the knighted heroes captured, taken to Centreville. aad after being allowed to sober off, wbiper and whine like dirty spaniels, they were rompelled to take

Mr Dye, one of the arrested parties, is in cousin. i and was arrested and brought to Indian apolis. thrown into the Soldiers' Home, and after a long imprisonment, was released without any charges ever being ; made against him. ' Mr. BENNETT, resuming said : I will ' answer the Senator from Lawrance. I had intended to mention no names, as I knew the relation existinz between Mr. ; Dye and that Senator, but now name is out. without my fault, I that his will say ' to thst gentleman that his claim of re- j ! lationship is an unfortunate one. For I j ; charge on this floor that that man Dye was the ruling spirit in that disgraceful affair; that he is a violent and dirty ! 1 traitor, ami should have been hung, tor j the good of that commuuity, long ago. : ! Mr. COBB, again interrupting, said ; the Senator from Unton would not dare ' say that in the presence of Mr. Dye. ! Mr. BENNETT, resuming, said that j he ha.l made similar remarks in the town j where Mr. Dye live, and authorized Mr. Cobb to repeat to him his remarks on 1 this occasion. And as fo being afraid ' ! of Dye, he said he was not oily a traitor s j but a coward, and if he should ever : ; have courage enough to attack him, there j , would be a funeral among the Senator's j ; relations. ; Mr. COBB said. Mr: Dye is bigger ; than the Senator from Union. I Mr, BENNETT said: Fighting does not depend upon size but upon "pith." The race is not to the strong, but to the active, the vigilant, the brave. To the charge of the Senator from Vigo, that Wayne county people had mobbed the ballot box, and prevented men from voting for McClellan, I have only to den-, in the same tone that the Senator makes the charge, and I hurl the slander back to him, and tell him that his statements are false, and a vile calumny upon the good people of Wayne county. Now, then, the issue is fairly made. I defy the Senator to the proof. Mr. President, the whole trouble with the Senator and his part- is that "Old Wayne" steadily votes the Union ticket. Ah the Senator could find no Democratic examples to exhibit on this floor. No Democratic county in the State has enterprise, public spirit or manhood enough to compete for the location of this College. WI13 not ask for it in the Democratic county of Sullivan ? But I think I can assist the memory of the Senator. I can point him to some Democratic regions where mobs, and murder, and treason, and all the other damnable villianies known in the dark catalogue of crime, have been current. South Carolina is an eminent example, to which I refer the distinguished Senator. She was always Democratic, the headquarters of Democracy. Tell me, sir, what crime has not blackened her escutcheon ? Tell me, sir, what Democratic State has not been guilty of treason, and whose skirts are not dripping with blood of murdered victims ? Tell me sir, what1 Republican State has not been true to I the Union, and done her whole duty in j the hour of peril? Sir, I admit that! Wayne county can not boast of some J of the glories cf such a civilization as j the Senator would admire. Her people organized no lodges of Sons of Libert, j except in cases of the "precious few" of 1 which the Senator speaks. While the constituents of the Senator in Sullivan; were recruiting for these midnight lodges of foul traitors, the people ot ayne , were recruiting the armies of the Union. While his constituents were following t Bowles and Horsey, the people or Wayne were following Grant and Sherman, i While his beloved disciples where collecting money to arm themselves against) a draft, the people for whom I plead were hauling wood and provisions to the families ef their brave soldiers. While his constituents were skulking towasd Canada, ihese people whom he would slander were sending their sons to the front. "Tis true that many of the people of Old Wayne wear ' shad bellied coats" and "broad-brimed hats." which the Senator seems to think a crime ; but, sir. I submit that even that kind of a ring" is fully as creditable as the greasy butternut garments worn by the sovereign people of Sullivan. Sir, under these drab coats, the Senator could find a spirit ot pnuaninropny, 01 religion, 01 j loyalty, tnat the Senator may be a 1 stranger to. and which is unknown in the , dark regions he represents. And under j those -broad brimmed hats, there are j uraius puii.-. iTiiwj v.m. . w , the owners to distinguish between treason and loyalty, and to pity the condition of such forlorn, ignorant, Godforsaken wretches as inhabit the clay hills and dog-fennel valleys of Sullivan. Mr. President, I ask pardon for entering at such length upon a subject so foreign to the question properly in debate; bnt, sir, I can not sit still and allow the studied prosecution made by the Senator upon the worthy, gallant and loyal people of Wayne county to pass by in silence. My random remarks, made on the spar of the moment and in the heat of debate, will doubtless fall far short of what the subject demands, bnt I have no apology to offer. One ether matter referred to by the j Senator, and I am done. He drags be fore the Senate the recent unfortunate difficulty bcteween Mr. Julian and General Meredith. I can only say that, that affair is a family matter of oar owe. and one which we intend to regulate without any cratside interference. The Senator and his friends need not lay the flattering uuction to their souls that they will make any capital oot of the affair. 1 have no consolation to offer the gentleman on that subject. These gentlemen are both candidates for Congress, and I know of bnt one way to advise the people to get safely oot of the difflcultv. and accommodate the party, the country J aad myself. Fr in that case I am like '

We stayed at Manasns only four days, during wliich'time we worked vere hard arraincing and packing the speci mens we had collected. Thimfvs the very worst kind of work. The nsh, of which we have an immense number, are all to be packed, the small ones in kegs and the large ones in hogsheads, and then they are to be fdled with alcohol. As both kegs and hogheads are very poor and nearly all leak, our work has to be done over many times, which, with the thermometer at 90 or 100, is very hard indeed. This town of Tabatinger is, I do be lieve, the vilest hole that exists on this foo'stool.

We fjave ,een at tis plare nearly- a month, an,j during this time I have had a chance to mue a verv collection of birds, &c besides "havinar some verv rood shooting at a species of wild goose found here, about the size of a black duck, and at another large thick the wild muscovy as large as our common wild goose I have made, I believe a discovery of my oa-n, which will surprise you and all sportsmen. Tlie other day, as I came . out of the forest behind the village, which stands upon an open plain about a mile square, having on my back a load . of monkeys, toucans, parrots, and such like drtr I saw a flock of birds flying around which looked familinr, and getting a shot into thjn knocked out five, and on picking them. up I found four of thcm to l)e Greenheads and one Exquiraanx Cnrlew. Just fancy meeting such old friends in this remote corner of the worM. The next dav I went again to tue me place and to mv still greater astonisument Kiiiea a tirassrfover. a Hudsonian Godivit and some Pectoral Sandpipers, just such as we kill at home. Of course I shall bring the skins borne to prove these facts The Professor was very mnch delighted with this discovery. This is a first rate place to collect birds, and I have some Tery curious ones. I can go out any morning between daylight and sunrise and kill a dozen toucans as large as hens, and any quantity of parrots and monkeys. If yon want to experience a new sensation, yon should get among a drove of monkeys when they ere all screaming and yelling about yoq, and the woods are so thick that you, can't see themuzzls of vour gun. I thought that hell had broken loose the first time I got among them with no one to tell me what it was all about. Masascs, Oct. 24, We arrive here last night from the upper part of the river, where we have been for the last six weeks. We have bad a very rough time of it lately much wet weather and hosts of insects but I flatter myself that the worst is over, a the lower part of the river is freer from flies and roosqae toes than the upper We have already obtained specimen ol taore than $eren hundrtd ktrtfofort tntirtlj inltncnm tlthtt.

And if years will pass over us, and leave us wi.1i gray hairs, and if we shall drop into our graves without some real, living, personal hold of a Sa. vior. salvatio'n, clory, hsppiness, we shall discover that no such terrible avengers are in the regions of the lost as lost opportunities. There is no Calvary in the realms of misery, there is no shadow or sound of a Savior where God hath forgotten to be gracious.--<Cummings>. ---<>--- NEVER TOUCH WHAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU.--When Abraham Lincoln went into the law business in Springfield, Illinois, he was very poor. Ho had few clothes and scarcely a shilliug iu his pocket. William Herndon was his partner. When Mr. Lincoln collected any money belonging to the firm, he always divided it, took his part, and folded up the other half, wrote upon it tho word " Billy," and laid it away in his pocket book. Why do von do so ? Why not uso the whole of that, if you need it? ' askod Mr. Herndon one day. "Because," answered Lincoln, "I promised my mother nbvek to use an other person's moi.ey. If any thing should happen to me, it would be known that that money belonged to you." And you know, boys, Uis strict honesty in little as well as great thiugs won him that title, "Honest Abraham Lincoln." ---<>--- The Toronto <Globe> gives interesting facts relative to the coal mines of Nova Scotia, which arc being rapidly developed and assuming importance. The. carboniferous district includes a large section of the Province covering parts of the counties of Cumberland, Colchester. Hants, Pictoti, Syd 11 ejV Guysboro, and the island of Cape Breton. Tho best seems to have been discovered in Capo Bvcton and the county of Pietoti. A seam of thirty-five feet thickness was shown at the Iondon Exhibition some years ago, and pronounced the most extraordinarys pecimen yet discovered. But a Halifax paper recently reported that the county of Pictoti had produced a seam forty feet in thickness! ---<>--- Going from market one day, we observed a very small boy, who gave no special indication, by dress or face, of ottier than ordinary training in life, cur rying a basket that was so heavy as nearly to bear him down beneath it. We ob served, "My bov, you have a heavy load." " Yes," said he, " but I'd rather carry it than that my mother should." The remark was one of a kind we lovo to hear; but we do not know that we should have thought enough of It to chronicled it, had we not seen across the M.reet a highly accomplished young lady playing the piano while her mother wk,, washing the windows. ---<>--- TO MAKE GOOD INK.--Take one pound logwood, one gallon soft water boil it one hour, add twenty-five grains l.ichromats of potash, twelve grains of prus siate of potash ; stir a few iniuute while over the fire, take it off, and when settled strain it. This ink is bright jetblack at first, flows beautifully from tho pen, and is so indelible that even oxalic acid will not remove it from paper. No other ink will stand the test of oxalic acid. It is equally indelible on cloth. ---<>--- An ill-looking fellow was asked how he could account for Nature's forming him so ugly. "Nature was not to blame," said he, for when I was two months of age I was considered the handsomest child in the neighborhood, but my nurse, to revenge herself upon my parents for some fancied injury at their bands, one day swapped me away for another boy belonging to a friend of hers, whose child was rather plain looking." ---<>--- Kansas for a young State has reason for pride in the present condition of the State University at Lawrence, where th Board of Regents at their late meeting report the buildings well advanced, and that the University will be soon fully organized and opened to students. An institution of this character, with an endowment of 46,000 acres of land and fl5,000 cash investment to begin with, is highly creditable to the State. ---<>--- The ice commenced running in the Mississippi at St. Louis on Saturday.
