rights were not to be postponed. Mr. Foote replied with warmth, indul* ging in a personal attack upon Mr. Benton's course, impugning the motives of his action and intimating that his newborn friendship for California, was not for the sake of the people, but because of the presence here of her Senator, whose admission, to back him up and sustain him in the Senate, he was look* ing for with the most feverish anxiety he also contended that the California question had, of right, no precedence.

Mr. Benton. I believe this is the American Senate. I believe that by the laws of the Senate and rules of decorum, personalities and attacks upon motives are forbidden. The attacks which have been made upon motives are false and cowardly.

Mr. Foote, after some remarks, replied to the charge of cowardice, and said: I feel bound to say now, that when the Senator removes certain stains which cling to his escutcheon, of which 1 know the history as well as any man in Christendom—allusions to which ought to cause his cheeks to be suffused wiih blushes and shame—or if the Senator remains in his present attitude without that special discredit with which he knows 1 am familiar, and which that paleing acknowledges, as well as the terrific fear which he knows I have witnessed—whenever he comes out frankly and boldly, instead of shielding himself behind his establsihed cowardice—whenever he is prepared to hold himself amenable to the laws which govern gentlemen, I am prepared to meet him on that footing.

Mr. Benton—I pronounce cowardly to give insults when they cannot be chastised (Loud crtes of order) is a Senator to be blackguarded?

Mr. Foote—He is a blackguard? Mr. Benton—Is language to be used here which would not be used in an oyster cellar or tavern?

Vice President—The Senator is called to order. Mr. Benton, continuing—It is time to stop such language here In a place where a cudgel cannot be applied to him.

The Vice President repeated the call of order. After some further colloquy, Mr. Foote said he would stand to h® 'ia(^ said, and jf Mr. Benton was willing to pro ceed in the matter, he would meet him.

Mr. Dickorson moved to ley the ponding motion on the table, which was a greed to.

Good Sentiments.

The Jackson (Mist.)Southerner speaks a word of truth- in the following paragraph Tn 1790, when the seat of Government was hefoHn New York, certain discontented and ambitious spirits, who magnified molehills into mountains, talked strongly ofdissolving the Union. Gen. Washington, in a letter to Colonel Stew,art, of Abington, Virginia, said it was impossible to satisfy such men, for that, being disappointed and chagrined because, on visiting the seat of government, they thought their merits were undervalued. they sought in a dissolution of the Union a euro for wounded vani'y,. When we see men pricking up their ears at every pretext likely to justify treason to their country, and gloating over what ever has a tendency to minister toa mor bid Appetite for civil strife and contcn tion, we cannot help thinking that the eauae assigned by the immortal Washington for the discontents of his day are equally applicable to some of our modern political Lucifers.

Be Careful now Yo« Speak. Hush why should you speak ngainst, the ctturacicr of a female! It is all that she has to depend upon in this world.— Just give »h«s impression wings that she itr not so good as she should be, and it will fly to every nook and corner of the town. The story you whisper will return In tones of thunder, to astonish even yourself, who was the first goiliy wretch to repeat so base a story. A word has often proved the ruin of a virtuous soul word thoughtlessly spoken it may be, but repeated by an evil mind. Suppress any thought, which, if uttered, might injure the character or feelings another. A thought may be stifled at its birth, but a word spoken may never be lost. Weigh evarything you utter, so that none may misconstrue or receive a wrong impression. Above alt, never, even In jest, whisper words, which if true, would throw a Wight upon spot- !*$« reputation.

Senate.—Mr, Clemens presented a petition from citixens of Alabama, pray* ing that ihe blessings of slavery may be extended to every State of the UnioQs-~ Mr. Foote moved, that the bill organizing territorial governments in Utah and New Mexico, be taken up, for the purpose of making it the specW order for an early day. A most exciting passage between Mr. Benton and Mr. roote ensued. Mr. Benton, as a friend of California, gave notice to those who desired her admission, that they must now stand bvher California was entitled to the consideration of the Senate, and Ii©rjjr44thai isn't a spec^mw of yo^r western

Growing Potatoes.

As "Spring time of year is coming.' a correspondent very seasonably sends us the following seasonable account of the method whereby (be says) people having very little ground, some leisure, and nofenrof a little work occasionally, may grow a very decent bin of potatoes for next fall and winter. "You procure a cask or sugar hogs head with both onds out and place it over some soil preparod in the (Usual way. You then plant six or more of your seeding potatoes, place the cask over them, covering them with earth as usual, and earth them up well when the vine is the usual height for hoeing you keep hoeing until a month or so before digging. The vine will grow in some instances six feet, and at every joint there will bo a crop of potatoes, 60 that in some cases ten times the usual crop will be procured with less labor and less land being occupied. "I am informed that it has been tried in Ireland with considerable success, and for my own part think it feasible, and would trv it ii I were a farmer, or had ground fti."—JY. Y. Tribune.

They talk of giving the Mississippi another mouth-—one into Lata Ponchartraia, back of New Orleans.

W a a E Our Yankee traveller, who saw the live has again written to his mother:'J

Wesiorn people go their death on etiqudtte. You cannot tell a man he lies here without fighting. A few days ago a man and two of his neighbors, in my hearing told a preuy large story.

Says I "Stranger, that's a whopper^ Soys he/'luy there stranger." And in the twinkling of an eye, 1 found myself in the ditch, a perfect quadruped, the worse for wear and tare. Upon another occasion, says I to a man I never saw before, as a woman

women,« j/ -Staff Says he, "you are afraid of the fever and ague, stranger, ain't you! "Very much," says I. "Well," replied he, "that lady ti my wife, and if you don't apologize in two minutes, by the honor of a gentleman, 1 swear that these two pistols (which he held cocked in his hands) shall cure you of that disorder entirely. So don't fear stranger!" So 1 knelt down and politely apologized. I admire this western country very much, but curse ma if I can stand such etiquette it always takes me unawares.—Chicago Democrat.

rtlrrhe Extent of oar Country. It has been computed that the United States have a frontier line of 10,760 miles, a sen coast of 6,430 miles, a lake coast of 1.160 miles. One of its rivers is twice as long as the Danube, the largest river in Europe. The Ohio is 600 miles nger than the Rhine, and the noble Hudson has a navigation in the Empire State 120 miles longer than the Thames. Within Louisiana are bayous and creeks, almost unknown, that would shame by comparison, the Tiber or Seine. The State of Virginia alone is one third largthan Englund. The State of Ohio contains 3,000 square miles more than Scotland. The harbor of New York receives the vessels that navigate rivers, canals and lakes to the extent of 3,000 miles, equal to the distance from America to Europe. From the Capital of Maine to the "Crescent City," is 200 miles further than from London to Constantinople, a route that would cross England, Belgium, a part of Prussia, Germany, Austria and Turkey.—Nat. Intel.

HOME AFFECTIONS.

The heart has memories that never die. The rough rubs of the world cannot obliterate them.— They are the memories of home—early home.— There is magic in the sound. There is the old tr_'e under which the light-hearted boy swung many a day yonder the river in which he learned to swim there the house in which he knew a parent's protection nay, there is the room in winch he romped with brother and sister, long since, a'as laid in the yard in which he must soon be gathered, over-shadowed by yon old church, wlnther with a joyous troop like himself, he has often followed his parents to worship with, and hear the good old man who ministerou fit ihc altar. Why, even the very school house, asaociaed in youthful days with thoughts of tasks, now comes to bring pleasant remembrances o| many occasions that call forthsome generous exhibitions of the noble traits of human nature. There is where he learned to feel some ot his first emotions. There perchance, he first met the being who, by her love and tenderness in life, has made a home for himself, happier than that which his childhood knew. There are certain ieelings of humanity, and those too, anting the best, that con find an appropriate place for their exercise only by one]s own fireside. There is privacy of that which it was a species of desecration to violate. He who seeks wantonly to invade it, is either more or less than a villain and hence there exists no surer test ol the debasement of morals in a community, than the disposition to tolerate ih any mode, the man who invades the sanctity of private life. in the turmoil of the world let there be at least one spot where the poor man may lind affections and confidence which not to ba abused.—Dr. Havskes.

An Incident.

During the last war with Great Britain, a tremendous struggle was mode by both parties to preserve the nnJ^aupremacy of Lake Champlain. Commodore iwPbiough, who commanded the American fleet, determined to risk the general engagement. Soconfidcntwere the Britishof success, that a small vflBit loaded with British subjects came into the bay where the battle was fought, as spectators, to witnes the prostration of the ''Star Spangled Banner." The action was dbmmenced by the British vessels firing a broad side. At thatinatant, says the historian, achick-en-cock, which had escaped from one of the coops on McDonough's vessel, flew upon one of the guns, and by a loud crow seemed to nurl back a dchance at the haughty foe. The instant this was heard, the whole body of soldiers, officers and all, greeted the gallant bird with three chrers. Sail ore are naturally superstitious and Mr. Cooper, in his Naval History, says the crowing of the (owl had a powerful effect upon the known tendencies ol seamen. Ouring the battle, the chicken-cock flew upon the rigging, and from there, far above the heads of the combatents. could be heard, between the pauses of the fearless fight, the war-cry of that gallant and fearless bird.—6't*, Ada*.

Brain Labor.

To many persons it jecms a small thiwj toslt down and prepare matter for the periodical press but let those inexperienced with the pen, and whose brains have never been trained to ystern atic thought, attempt to (jirnish intellectual food and recrcaiion to his fellows and he will soon .realise that mental labor is the most destructive to health of all other toil. Were one to grub stumps out of the earth, or sling the sledge hammer 12 hours a day. h* would be able to stand the drudgery with less injury to his bodv and soul, than half that number or hours devoted to mental employment in the way of writing matter for the book or newspaper press. Those pithy articles which constantly appear in the periodicals of the day. contain th$ very essence of mind or thought, and such literarv gentlemen as are best at iternTxing, are the first whase cons'ituticuis are broken down, and who di« of imbecility snd muscular inaction.

To Drive Away Rats.

Thts may be done by sniffing 'heir holes after the following man er, which will banish them away so that they wift not rrtarn while the taste or smell remains: take one pound of common tar, half nn ounce of pea rlash, and as much oil of vitrei will ferments handful of common sails.mix them all together, spread the mixture thick oa brown paper, and lay apiece in the bottom of the holes for toem to walk on then a'wff some into the hoW and fill th up with lims. Or another wny: gk a paper hag lull of haman hair, from a barber's shop, and stufTlhe rat holes with it—they will never appear there again.— (rnniener't CAron-

Oa*y men get «p queer ideas now and then.— We saw a man once that attributed his nrin to a vary singular cause "having been broke down in his attempts to roof the earth He used second-hand rainbows, over which be spread web of silk netting- To render th whole water-proof, he filled theintrrarics withshoepecs, when, ssbad luck would have it, along drmight aet in snd so shrunk the pegs they all fell out To remedy disaster, he hired a man to sharpen them at both ends and sell them for ©Sis, Just as bis crop was finished, down went the grain market, twl oats inn worth lees a bushel than pegs. The consequence was, he had to saw them oft again, and sell tbem to a shoemaker, who two weeks afterwards failed, and paid a wajt eod on the dollar.
