GEN. CAss' ABUSE or voLUNTEERs.-The
whole of the Locofoco Press in this State,
are denouncing Gen. Taylor because he con-
Cured with Gems. Wool and Lane in saying
that the second Indiana Regiment reireaiC''
al the battle of Buena Vista. IL this be
good argument agains, Gen. Taylor, il will
apply with much more force against Gen.
Cass, because he represented TO the War De-
pariment in 1914, that twenty-five hundred
OF three thousand militia, called out TO de-
fend Buffalo, "all, excep, very few ofihem
behaved in the most cowardly manner, and
fled without, firing muskei." This is the
manner in which Gen. Cass spoke of the
brave volunteers Of the country al that time.
What will Locolocoism say To that? Let
them deny it il they dare, and We will prove
il by documents ;hat cannot be disputed.

BENTON AND BUTLER.--The Washington cor
respondentof the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can gives the subjoined statement in relation
to the affair between Senators Benton and But
Ter:
The usual communication, inquiring wheth-
er personal application of the offensive Ian
guage employed by MIR. Benton, In reply TO
MIR. Buffers proposition for an inyestisa-
ton of the publication of the resolutions re-
speeding Gen. Kearney, was addressed TO Mr..
Benton yesterday morning. During the day
an answer was received, in which he simply
reiterated the language, without explanation
of any sort. Upon consultation, it was con-
si!diered that Mr.. Benton did not mean TO dis
claim the imputation, since he had refused the
opportunity offered by courteous inquiry,
and under circumstances which demanded an
explanation, if he contemplated such contin-
gency.
Accordingly peremptory message was de-
liveied last night, which precluded any other
than direct reponse. This communication
was presented BY MIR. Foote. An answer
was received to-day, in which Mr.. Benton de-
clined to continue the negotiation through MIR.
Foote, but not upon grounds affecting the per-
sonal honor of that gentleman. The affair re-
manned in a state of suspense until this after
noon, when warrants of arrest and subpenas
were served ON the parties, upon information
lodged before a magistrate. The hearing
of MIR. Butler and Mr.. Benton was defer
red until tomorrow. Mr.. Mangum tes-
titled to the delivery of The original communi-
cation,
The matter may stop here, but am inclined
to doubt if it will. Such an indignity will
not be brooked by ony one having the Butler
blood in his veins.

CO The Philadelphia News states that
Commodore Stewart is in favor Of the election
of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency. 1t will be
remembered that the commodore was one of
the Locofoco aspirants for the Presidency, and
that his name was introduced into the Balti-
more convention in 1914 in connection with
that high Office.
Two of the Locofoco Presidential aspirants
in 1914 are now opposing tho election of Con.
Cass-Mr. Van Buren, and Commodore Stew
art. Not only are these very prominent Loco
focos hostile to Cass, but large number OF
those who were the most conspicuous mem
bers of the party in 1914 are eudeavoring to
defeat him. With such facts before their eyes
some Of the locolocos have the etfirontery TO
assert that their party is not distracted by any
serious fGeds and that Cass can get the vote Of
the party! November will tell very differ.
