post from his visit to Massachusetts, bringing
his family with him. It has been stated that he
would probably take the post of First Assistant Postmaster General, in place of Major Hubhie, who is to retire from that post ; but Col. Warren does net know of the fact, if fact it be, and decidedly prefers the post he now holds, as Second Assistant Postmaster Geueral.
The Union, of this morning, alluding to these rumored changes, does "not hesitate to say that no removal could be mora unfortunate, anj no appointment like that of Fitz Henry Warren could be less appropriate or select." The Un

Toe election in the Slate of New York took pl.t.- one week tyo to-day, and although we have two iims of telegraphic communication with the State Ua Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, an I Cleveland and Bu'.V.do, we are still iu the dark as to the result; hided the papers by the last mail furnih us with later intelligence than the ti legraphs. Our I .test election news is, by tho Baltimore papers of the Stii inst., and from then we leaan tii..t it is supposed there will bo a small Whig majority ia the popular vote t f the State.
Senator Bentom Owing lo the difference of opinion among the citizens of this vicinity, with regard to your position on the question of the Wilmot Proviso, we respectfully submit for your consideration the following question, to which we hope you may be pleased to give us an explicit nnd direct answer, and that will settle the
matter with us: "Are you in favor of or opposed to the principles of the Wilmot Proviso, as applied to the territories of the United States?" This question had been previously drawn up and signed by some of the oldest and most prominent citizeus of the county; but instead of giving it a respectful consideration, he insultingly refused to receive it, and treated with scorn and contempt him who offered it At the meeting in Ralls county, the following
scene look place: As soon as he had concluded his speech, Senator Priest rose, and calling him by name, said that he had a question to ask him. Col. Benton seemed not to hear him, whon Senator Priest repeated a little louder, "Col. Benton, before you leave the stand I have a question to submit to you." Col. Becton turning with fire iu his eye, and a scowl upon his brow, screamed at tha top of his voice, "Well, sir, what ia it?" Col.
Priest then remarked that ho might not under
stand him, and would like to know whether "he
wns for or against the Wilmot Proviso." Col
Bonton's fury rising still higher, he roared out iu a sneering tone, "the Wilmot Proviso! Wil-

ers something to do.
The St. Louis Republican of the Clh, says : We are told that extrusive preparations have
been made at all the principal packing points, on
the Upper Mississippi and Illinois, for a heavy season's business, and should the weather prove
favorable, we may anticipate large receipts during the present month. Tho ruling price for beef in
the vicinity of Burlington, Hannibal, and other points on the Upper Mississippi, is from f 2 50 to $3. Hogs vary according to size and condition from f 2 to $2 50 per 100 lbs. The Indiana Whig (Rising Sua) of November 16th, says no sates have been made In that section, the farmers holding on for an advance in the market. The Whig advises the farmers to sell all they can at $2 75. The Wabash Atlas, (Lafayette,) of the 6th inst,says it cannot give any Information as to the price of hogs at that place that packing hid not commenced, and few engagements made by dealers.
