Scene in thk Senate.—Fcpper and Suit.
—Ill tho Senate,*on Tuesday, Mr. Foote, in
timated ihut Mr. Benton’s now-born seal for
the admission of California Stale bad its origin
in tbe fact that a,member of his family, Col.
Krtmout, was one of the Senators elect. To
U4* intimation Mr. Benton replied,, “that the
attacks upon his.motives and character, made
here to-day, ami belore to-day, were false and
cowardly.”
Mr. Foote again retorted in n mos: g.-vere
and caustic manner, closing, us lollow-,:
» ‘‘He had no desire to continue the controver
sy with the Senator. He was ou good terms
with every-body ; ho had no enmity against any
ono. And even to the Senator lie would not ap
ply the term ‘cowardly,’ as the Senator had done
to him. He wus not, however, unwilling, up
on this point, to enter upon the examination Of
their early history. In so doing ho would not,
ns the Senator had done, m ike n charge that lie
could not prove und substantiate liy the past,
nor for which lie would not hold himself, res-
tjonsiblo. Tho Senator had called him coward
ly. Could the Soimtnr sustain it? Could the
lii Senator go back into his own history and hqpr
the recitul of facts which should suffuse the
* checks of every honorable man with crimson of
"w* the deepest hue ? Did the Senutor dure to til
ludu to the stains upon his own escutcheon when
ho stigmatized others ? Did the Senator re
member when that discreditable transaction
was disclosed to him, tho shaking of the limbs,
the blanching of the check, nnd the trembling
of his w hole frame under the deep senso of
humiliation which lie, und tho Senator, nnd eve
ryone. knew would not bear nq examination ?
When tlie Senator shall clear himself of this
disgrace, when he shall have removed this stain
upon his character, and announce his readiness
'moot responsibility asn man of hoftor. then
the Senator might expect to hear more from
. bfm. But, until then, ho could notice nothing
from him for tit present the Senutor from
Missouri was Sheltered by his established cow
ardice.”
“Mr. Benton said that lie held it to he most
cowardly to give insults in a piano where they
cannot bo chastised ; it was cowardly to speak
s of him in the Senate in tho language of black
guardism and vulgarity, when he could not
chastise the blackguunl. Ilad it then come to
this tliut a mun was to he insulted and black
guarded from day to day in his presence mid
in his absence ? Had it then come to this that
language could bo used in the Senate that
would bo borne in an oyster cellar ? Can lan
guage be used in the Senate which would dis
grace a rood-side lav.-rn ? Cun language be
used in the 8enate for which, if used elsewhere,
the party could be cudgeled out of the house?
Was the Semite to he made the protector of
abuse and vilification ?
Both parties wore called to ord-'r, and tin
subject postponed.
On Wednesday, Mr- Buxton called utt"n
tion to the report in fhe National intelligencer,
of the altercation between him and tho Sen
utor from Mississippi, (Mr. Foote ) His own
romnrks were correct—the remarks of the Sen.
ator incorrect. The report of the-Senator
was a lying report—a lie from beginning to
'fend. It was not parliamentary to alter words
*Used in personal altercations. The reporters
brought their notes to him, and he rofused to
look at them.
The allegation of the Senator that he (Mr.
B.) had openly disavowed obligations to the
laws of honor, was uttoily false. He made
up such a disavowal. If the Senator chose,
lie would bring ihut. matter to a test. Ho
would like to know how long language was
to be tolerated here that was worse than the
the Tpcabulury of the Five-points—language
that would disgrace a brothel.
I claim no privilege, said Mr. B., of insult
ing uny one. I never have done it. 1 hear
with insults it long time. Bui if I notice it ntnll
one party or tho oilier ahull notedly here. If
the. Sonata wilj not protect me, I will protect
myself—oust‘what it may. Here is the news-*
" paper report of the Senator’s jpeecli.' 1 brand
it with u falsehood, and I will prove the false
hood any where, at uny time. A newspaper
cant cull mo to order. I brand this report as
a falsehood. Henceforth I will protect my
self.
Mr. Foote said lie must lie allowed to defend
himself from this indecent attack, which wus
tnadobn a newspaper. He courted no hostility
he virus a plain man, nnd spoke plainly. This
report—the same in both papers—was said ic
he false. The reporters were as accurate ns
reporters could be. fie was in tlie habit of
writing out speeches from the reporter’s notice.
Tfio Senator had always followed the same
practice. Yesterday, in a stormy debate, the
reporters could qot catch every word. There
wore chasms in the notes ‘presented to him.
He admitted that there might bo some
slight difference—some omissions or changes
of words. ,
He had nlluded yesterday to nil affair of
honoT between the Senator mid a Senator from
South Carolina. It was stated to me that it
was an improper allusions and I admitted it—
and therefore left out that matter. One other
very hutsh remark I made, on symo stories
resting on the Senator’s* character in early
life—and that I omitted But, if insisted on.
I can give the reporter’s notes,
His remarks were as brief, as spoken, as they
were written. If any thing past was omitted,
he now repented it. He was. done with the
quarrel here. He had said all that he wished
to say. He had spoken his sentiments ot the
Senator very often—and once in a published
letter. What could he do more. lie w as wil-
- ling; us he said yesterday, to vail tlie Senntor
to proper punishment, if ho made no ciuim to
uny privilege.
‘He wished to know whether, the, Sena tor con-
. sjderbd himself responsible to the law offionor.

Our community was startled yesterday morn
ing by t(io melancholy intelligence of the dentil
of John 0. Calhoun, who departed this life
in Washington City, at, half past 7 o’clock on
Sunday evening. This painful intelligence was
the more stunning in its effect upon the public
mind, bemuse ibo general anxiety which hud
been felt! was in a measure relieved by the ac
counts which Imd been received of his improved
health. Only two days before, we had thegrat-
ifieuion of publishing an extract from a private
tier of one of his friends, which stated that
he was much belter, and that there was .every
nospect of his rapid recovery Wo were
therefore unprepared for tlie sud tidings which
t is now our painful duty to record.
In the death of GalHoun tlie Senate has lost
one id its brightest ornaments, the nation one of
its purest Statesmen, and the world one of the
most gifted intellects that ever adorned liu
munity. - •' •
But it is -not for ns to eulogize tlie groiq
und good man, whose fame is written in
the history of his uge, and to whom posterity
will accord the mode of perpetual honor nnd
grateful admiration. It is enough to say John
C. Calhoun has fallen.
Tho telegraphic account by which the melnn-
cliolly intelligence reached this city, informs us
tliut he died ns tlie good man dies—calmly and
omposed, free fromipain, nnd in the full pos
session of his faculties. Like the venerated
Adams, he breathed his lust on the field of his
usefulness, and where the last .efforts of his
great mind were exerted in the cuuse of his race
and nation.
Death of Cai-t. John L. Swinney.—It
is with deep sorrow that we announce the death
of this gentleman, which took place yesterdny
afternoon, at his residence in this city. Mr.
Swinney was an enterprising and successful
merchant, and transacted a large business in
Savannub for several years past. He was
highly esteemed as n merchant nnd gentlemar
and has passed from the stage of active life, i
the prime of manhood; leaving n young wifo
and interesting family, to mourn his untimely
loss. He was a native of Hancock county,
in this (State, but for the last few years lias
resided in this city.

Tlie .Morning News mul tlie Telegraphic
Monopoly.
The public hud another opportunity yester
day ofobaerving tho disadvantage to which we
are subjected by the telegraphic monopoly of
the‘‘associated presses.” They had also an op
portunity of estimating the benefits of tho tele
graph itself, when practically converted into n
monopoly. 1 While our neighbors enjoyed the
exclusive privilege of publishing two important
items of intelligence for tho especial benefit of
their subscribers, tlie Morning News, with n
circulation in‘the ciiy nearly, if not quite ns
large as both of them together, was without the
important dispatches.
Wo allude to this circumstance injustice to
ourselves, nnd for the purpose of assuring our
readers tliut it is no fuult of ours that wo lmve
not had despatches of the important items of
news. Wo hoped for a lime thutwe would
bo enabled to effect an arrangement with our leu
dollar cotemporaries, simulur to that of tho
press in other cities, by which all, by paying an
equal slmie of the expense, are admitted to
an equal participation in the telegraphic news,
nnd by which tlie editors are jointly enable to
give the public f iller und more intelligible de
spatches than the meagre, and often unmean
ing outlines, which are usually given when no
such arrangements exist..
Such an arrangement was effected, but be-
foiu it could go into operation our magnanimous
neighbors, actuated by the same manly im
pulses which induce them to exclude our pa
per from their files in their reading rooms,
hacked out from their agreement, and refused
even to allow us to obtain despatches from
Charleston at our own expense. Thus forced
to defray the charge of tho transit over tho
wires some seven or eight hundred miles’ further
than they have to pay, # we employed a corres
pondent in Baltimore to furnish us with de
spatches from that point. At first his commu
nications reached us in duo time. Tho news
by the Canada, owing to tlie promptness of uur
correspondent, reached us from Baltimore sev
eral hours before the “associated presses” re
ceived their Charleston despatch, but our de-
spa tclijof tho Niagara’s news, although it wusalso
sent from the Baltimore office, us our correspon
dent believes, in advance of all others, has not
reached us yet. In reply to. our enquiries in
regnrd to thematter, our correspondent writes:
My Dear Sin—I was surprised this morn
ing on being told by the operator at the tele
graph office, that the Southern line refused to
receive my despatch for you. I was the more
surprised as you had received my despatch of
the Canada’s news alieud, and this one was on
file alieud also, as I have reason to believe.
As I have done my purt in tlie last steumer,
and had no notification from you to discontinue,
or from tho telegraph office that they would
not receive it for you (otherwise I should have
prepaid it. rather than kept you out of tiio news)
I have drawn on you fertile month’s pay. If it
is not your fault, and I presume it is not, you
will have to make the Southern lino pay'the
charges. Yours truly, &c.
Of coutse our correspondent has sent us no
despatch since. Wo leave our reuders to specu
late as we have done as to what influenco this
refusal of our despatches ure to be attributed.
We know of no cause of complninton die part
of tlie telegraphic company • We have paid
all their charges on presentation, even for des
patches that had been delayed until they were
of no use to us.
We will merely add that wo have laid our
complaint before the President of the compa
ny, who has promised us to fern out the mqtter,
and see that justice is done us. We attach no
blame to him nor to the gentlemen connected
with this end of tho line, who have manifest
ed every desposition to accommodate us. But
justice to ourselves demands that this explana
tion should be made. It is due to our readers
that they should know why we are without im
portant telegraphic news. We are determined
not to be put down in this matter by any petty
combination against us, and we tako this occa
sion to assure our readers that we shall leave
no means unemployed to protect our rights and
promote their interests.
Conviction of Professor Webster.—Tho
telegraphic despatch received on Sunday night,
from Charleston by the “associated presses”
states that the jury in the case of Pro fessor
Webster rendered a verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree, on Saturday night last, after
throe hours consideration. Wo doubt not that
most of our readeis who have examined the
testimony,as faraspublished, havealready arriv
ed at the same conclusion. We shall discon
tinue the publication of the testimony, as it pos
sesses little interest no-w that the result el’the
trial is knewn.
It is said that Professor Webster made a
speech after tho verdict was rendered, and that
he fainted in the court room.

Savannah Enterprise.—From an article
in a lute number of tlie Atlanta Intelligencer,
n which the editor comments on what ho con
ceives to bo tlie lack of enterprise of our Sn-
aiinuh merchants, we qxtrnct the following
paragraph. The editor s'uys :—
Undoubtedly when the contemplated Rail-
oad connection is effected at Macon, the dif
ference which ltow exists in the travel nnd
eight on the Georgia, and Macon nnd Western
Roads, will be greatly diminished, by removing
one obstacle which has heretofore been in the
way ol a free communication with- the Savan
nah market. Bui at the same, time,, if Savan
nah would secure tlie trade ol those regions
which are now rapidly increasing in wealth,
and prosperity, and whusetrade is daily assum
ing a more important appearance, she mustact
herself. Her merchants would do woll tu emu
late the energy and peculiar tact in obtaining
business lor which tho people of Charleston
are so notorious and which they are exerci
sing with such marked success.
A commercial friend whose attention we
called to the urticle from which the nbovo ex
tract is tuken, thinks our friends in the interior
ure rather hard to please, and expect us to
accomplish great things in an unreasonably
short time.
It should be borne in mind that in 18-10, the
trade of Savannah in groceries and dry goodshad
dwindled to a mere nothing, and thut it is only
since the completion of tho Central and Ma
con, and Western Railroads,that it hus begun to
revive and extend itself until ithns reached its
present importance. It is not reasonably to
be expected that competent and affluent per
sons can be at once found to enter the trade
and at once extend their correspondence to ah
parts of the state o.nd adjoining regions. These
things must be gradual and go a-long with tho
regular and natural increase of wealth nnd
population. Since 1840, we have lmd umong
others, tlie following large Grocery houses
spring up here, all ot which have been growing
wealthy and are rapidly extending their busi
ness: Scranton, Johnston & Co; A.Welles &
Co; H. A. Crane ; M. J. Reilly; P. Reilly;
Swift, Denslow & Webster, &o., &c. In
Dry Goods, there huve been several new firms,
and in both branches, there is hardly a limit to
tho business to be done. There is business
enough for more concerns of the same cluss, und
new ones will doubtlessly soon bebrought
into uxijtence. Men who have gained money
in the country trade, instead of complaining of
our lack of enterprise, should come hero and
meet the trade, and if needs bo, show us how it
ought to be conducted. Such is the tendency of
things—nnd we doubt not that new houses will
come here from the interior to establish them
selves every year.
Savannah has done much to reach tho inte
rior, and when our new steamers ure running to
New-York, (which they will be in time for the
fall business) so that merchants can more read
ily replenish their stocks, and do the more
with their present capital, increased business
may be done, even without an increase of new
firms. But we hope to see more of them.
The more goods there are brought and the
moro sellers, tho more buyers ure attracted and
the better they are served. It works well for
all. “Competition is the lifo of trade.”
With u view to show whut Savannuh has
done and is duing, wo udd u list of her invest
ments, so far as they relate to extending our
relations with distant points.

Other enterprises af less note to promote the
trade and communications of our friends of the
interior with the seaboard and exterior through
Savannah, such us tlie Ocpiulgee steamboat
lilies, and those on the Savannah River, might
be named. These last are by no means least
in importance. .About four years since the
Iron steamboat Co:, chiefly owned in Augusta,
was tlie only line in healthy and profitable 1 op
eration between here and Augusta, and tho
Charleston people were rejoicing in the pros
pect of soon seeing all competition with their
Rail Road destroyed. A few of our merchants
united with some of those in Augusta, to resus
citate the Georgia steumboat Co., and carried
out their plans in such a wiiy as to give new ac
tivity to the river trade. New boats have been
built, and the managers of the Hamburg and
Charleston Rail Road have found, instead of
driving the bunts off the River, the boats have
drivon.off their profits nnd placed them iy a
position to have a hard struggle to keep above
water. Indeed the sharp competition in tho
Savannuh River trade, with un unpropitious
season, may yet bankrupt our vaunting rivals.
1 he Charleston steuinbout lino is owned here
entirely, and has been sustained by Savannah
capital. These are facts that overthrow all
charges of lack of enterprise against Savan
nah. We will add that wo only need broutli-
ingtime,to extoad our acquaintance and business
relation-s to tho remotest points reached by our
internal communications, when Savannah will
take that rankamong the commercial cities of the
South to which hty position entitles her, and’bp

Riuking n continuous loud of GOO miles, und,.,.

By a glance at tlie map of the United Slut,.,
it will be seen that this line of road will into '

Military of the United States—The
returns of the militia in each State to the Ad
jutant General’s office show an aggregate of
nearly two millions (1,959,782.) Some re
turns are not made since 1833, so that the ac
tual number would ho much larger. Pennsyl
vania has tlie largest number of any' State,
probably owing to a more careful enrollment.
Her number is 27G,070. New York, whose

EiiP An attack on Cuba appears to bo again
anticipated. Tlie Raritan, Capt. l’uge, bear
ing tlie broad pennant of Com. Purker, com
manding tlie U. S. Home Squadron, was to sail
for Havana (from Jamaica) on the 22d, and
the British steamer Vixen has been temporarily
placed under the orders of the American coin,
mandcr. This affords decisive evidence \V.at
both the American and British naval Com
manders anticipated trouble. As Commodore
Parker would not interfere with any insurrec
tionary attempt in Cuba itself, it inny be in
ferred from his movements that an invasion of
that Island was to bo attempted, und that Ame
rican citizens were to be largely concerned in
it. So says the New Y’ork Journal of Com
merce, which lias information tliut the Cuban
govetament has ascertained that a new revolu
tionary expedition was on foot.; that it was to
rendezvous some where in the Island of Haiti
under Gen. Lopez, und attempt a landing at
some port on the south side of Cuba—aroba-
bly Trinidad, the focus of democratic princi
ples. There arc said to be 20 000 troops at pro
