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. • -I Qwn-myself so responsible. If he is. le i him fAwr it, and «t a proper time^yfej^the matter ■ - c4n be settled. Sneered, and so .the.mutter drop*- " *" ' '' ~ ~ .. .

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. rm*. prqji.wuirship of stenography has born wawbijahed •in tlit University’of -M -or b.

Carlyle.-—A critic,commenting upon Car lyle says, verry happily—“A reformer M r. Car lyle is not, nor is iy6 a conservative ; but he.is a sublime grumbler.” - * 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. Central Rail Rond, Steamer Pulaski, lost,.' Steamer Savannah, do, Monroe Rail Road, do, Macon and Western Rail Road, South Western Rail Road, Savannah and New York steamships, 140,000.

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 in reulity the Queen City or the South. 2,400,000. 100,000 GO,000. 50,000. 50,000. 400,000. Railroad from Mobile to Chicago.—o ’ of the most important linos of railroad now in p r ,, gr ss of construction, is that running f rom yj bile tn tlie Ohio, imd from thence to Chicago— Riuking n continuous loud of GOO miles, und,.,. two separate Companies. By a glance at tlie map of the United Slut,., it will be seen that this line of road will into ' sect with tho projected mml f r((m s t- j . across tho States of Illinoise und Indiana to Ohio, and from thence connecting with Wheel ing, Pittsburgh; and tho principal harbm on Lake Erie ; from which points railroads are already completed, or in progress, leading Baltimore, 1’liiludelphiu, New-York ami p,,.' ton, nnd other ports on tlie Atlantic coast. I„ the South,. this road will intersect with w i| roads having their termini ut New Orleans Charleston and Savannah, and - other South, r - ports. Thk Birthday of Washington was cele brated in l’uris in a suitable manner. JJr Green had assembled in his rooms, in tho Flat, ol St. Georges, nil tho Atnericuns bv birth j„ Paris, nnd others interested in tho welfare of the country. M. Gulliardet says that ho met there M. Pugeot, M. Delaforcst, Michel Chevalier and other political writers. Americans and Frenchmen, lie says, rendered equal homage to the Memory of the Man who was the Mes siah of practical Liberty in the Now World. A California Widow.—A woman named Halt let S. Mott, alias Jackson was arrested ,tt New York, on Tuesday, with a man named John A. Jackson, with whom she had been living since tlie departure of her husband for Califor nia, though heWd remitted her money nt dif ferent times, once $700, v hiclislte had dulyre- cr'ved. On leturning he had great difficulty to fiud-her. 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 returns ure for 1848 has 201,452. Ohio I7G- 4G5. Virginia 124,202 ; North Carolina 79- 4-18; Maryland 4G,8G4 ; Delaware 9,229, and the District of Columbia 1,249. 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 sent on the Island, though a good deal scatter ed. It is further said that capital from the United States has been invested in property in Cuba, witll a view to profit liy an tuvly clmiiy T lie last London advices stute also, on llm authority, of private letters from Madrid, that the Spanish government has dispatched General Mirasol on an extraordinary mission to Cubs, in connexion with this matter.
