COL. BENTON AND MR.. CALHOUN.

"ASHlNGTON, FeD. "A.
Col. Benton made bitter, malignant personal
attack upon Mr. Calhoun to-day0to which the
Senator listened, or seemed to listen, with the
most supercilious nOn-chaLdnce
Mr. Benton made Mr. Calhoun the sole cause
OF war. He undertook to prove that il was the
treaty made by Mr. Calhoun for the annexation
of Texas that the original fountain of all the
evils we now labor under. The Wings have al
ways commended, what the most conscientious
democrats" are now willing to allow, that An.
nexation was the cause, the primary cause the
only cause of war with Mexico But it was the
annexation OF Texas-a measure for the ac-
complishment of which Mr. Benton was equally
culpable as the other abettors of the scheme
and not the rejected treaty OF Mr. Calhoun that
brought OH the war. 1t was our invasion of Mex
lean territory that induced the existence of hos
tilites.
MIR Benton undertook also to show that Mr.
Calhoun's course had tended to strengthen Abo-
litionism; but the abolitionists themselves would
prefer the manly, frank, avowed hostility of Mr..
Calhoun to the tme-serving policy of Mr. Ben
ton and his associates the latter formerly dis
tinguished themselves by unmeasured denupcia-
uon OF any attempt to promote free discussion on
this subject. They now seek equal distinction
by hypocritical professions of regard for equal
liberty.
Mr. Calhoun replied to Mr. Benton in calm and
temperate language. He defended himself from
the charges made by Mr. B. with dignity and
with ability He again accused the administra-
ton of laundering into this war. lis first mis-
take preceded the march of Gen. Taylor upon the
kio GFande 1t was the ENHANCEMENT of the
Mexican with the Oregon question, that was the
real cause, the cdusd cGusGns of tie war The
Administration precipitated itself into two foreign
difficulties at once; and, he might have added,
without ability to manage either. The settle
ment OF the Oregon question has exposed he Adj
minlstration to much ridicule its management
OF our relations with Mexico has exposed, and
WIZ expose the country TO great disgrace, mise
ry and loss. Never before did such a weak Adj.
ministration inflict so much evil upon country
cursed with its power OF direction!

SOUND SENTIMENTS. We find in the Phila-
dephia North American, the following manly
views on the subject Of the difference between
the North and the South on the extension of
slavery:
The time has passed when the North can be
hectored into submission. Mr.. Calhoun is de-
ceived in surprising that the raw head and bloody
bones, which he exhibited, with great effect
some fifteen years since, can frighten us The
North is attached TO the Union but threats OF its
dissolution no longer alarm her. The Union aoW
not and cannot be dissoired while the North
has heart to feel or an arm to strike in its de-
defence. Mr.. Calhoun threatens, darkly, a re-
newal OF his Modification. Has he forgotten
that he was then obliged to seek refuge from the
power OF the Union, welded by the indomtabe
Jackson, in the arrangements that led to the
Compromise Bill His tone then was not that of
defiance; there is nothing to justify that tone
now. The South has given US the present ad.
mnistraon, the present war, the present issue
as TO the exclusion OF slavery. The North stands
only upon the defensive. But there she will
stand, and our assertion, six months since, that
no acquisition for the extension of slavery would
be submitted to, will be every way sustaineda'

There is much mystery connected with the
unfortunate wreck OF the Ondiaka She left here
on the 10th January last, with four companies of
Louisiana Volunteers The news of her wreck
So miles South Of Tampico, was received at Tam
pico on or before the LIST Of February. She went
ashore on the 29th January. On the I'd Februa-
ry the crew arrived at Tampico, and were put
under arrest by Gen. Patterson. On the 4th Feb
the volunteers were expected in Tampico, but
they did not arrive; on the 9th and 9th they had
not arrived; and the schooner Charon, which LETT
the Bar of Tampico on the 9th inst, brings the
alarming rumor that the Volunteers had been
taken prisoners by large Mexican force, and
that Company H. OF the Sd Artillery, which had
been sent to escort them to Tampico, had also
been captured.
We give the statement for what it is worth,
but we sincerely hope it may prove unfounded.
On inquiry at the Office OF the Quarter Master,
we find that no account had been received there
of this rumored capture OF our troops. There is,
no doubt, large Mexican force lowering around
Tdnpico. Gen. Cos, of San Jacinto memory is
said to be stationed near the town, with force OF
two thousand men.
The ship Ondiaka had on board Col. De Russy,
Adj. Harrison, and four companies, commanded
by Capts. Hunt, Pope, Freeland, and Akin, of
the Louisiana Regiment.
From the general activity by the Quarter Mas
ter's Department at Tampico, ii is evident that
our forces preparing tor long march.

VALUE OF MARRIED LIFE. BY the Regis
ter-General's Report in England, it is ascer aimed
that men and women, married at 26, live togeth-
err, on an average, in that country, "a years. The
widows survive their husbands little more than
10 years, and widowers live not far from 8 after
the death OF their wives. When the husband is
40 and the wife 30, the mean term of married
life is 81 years-the widows surviving 10 years
after their husbands death, and the widowers
only after the the loss Of their wives ProLa-
bly, there is no essential difference in the laws OF
life, IN the United States and England but it
should ~ ed, by way of encouragement, that
botfsclss'5y being married have longer lease
Of lite than otherwise would have. II is not nee
essary to enter upon physiological explanation,
since the tables Of registration have established
the fact beyond contradiction.
