0EWe copied ON yesterday an article from
the Louisville Journal giving credi; to Cassius
M. Clay as one of the number who some time
since voluntarily stepped forward and paid the
debts Of the Hon. Henry Clay. We are glad
to perceive by that paper of Monday, that this
is mistake. Cassius M. Clay had nothing to
do with that arrangement. The Journal was
led into the error by the "false phraseology' OF
Cassius' letter. The Journal says:
We have reason to believe, that, in our re-
marks of Saturday upon Cassius M. Clay let
ter, we were led into error in regard TO single
point by the writer's phraseology. He says to
the Hon. Henry Clay, We paid your debts.
This seems to mean that Cossius Nj. Clay was
one of the contributors, but perhaps it admits
Of the construction that the Wings, the Hon
Henry Clay's political friends, paid his debts
Whatever the intention of the remark may be
we are assured that Cassius M. Cay did moi
contribute one dollar, and, that the contribr.
itors, instead of being many in number, 1efe
ienly three, all gentlemen of vast weSi anu
all living in distant States. Anu iuuai =

lCIay asce,tained the am OF his Indebtedness

IN J Ja;, H kpowing who he was, whence he
nan,s WHITTIER he went
M Should be borne in mind, that the debts OF
lbf Mr.. Clay, thus paid by his three affiuent
friends, were SECURITY debts and not the result
of any imprudepce or Encouragement of his
private affairs. He had abundant means to
discharge them by the sale ola part of his prop
erty, or he could have soon discharged them BY
the practise of his profession but his three gen
erous friends chose to relieve him from the ne
cessity either of selling position of his estate
or of resuming in his old age the arduous prac-
tice of the law. The relief was great TO him,
though to each of them the amount conlribut-
ed was trifie. In view ofthe facts, the pub
lie can judge what right Cassius NJ. Clay has TO
say ''ice paid your debts. >
We regret having been led intoe by Cas-
sius Nj. Clay's absurd if not deliberately false
phraseology, for we know that the bare sug-
gestion in newspaper that MIR. Clay is under
a pecuniary obligation to Cassius NJ Clay must
be exceedingly mortifyingto the feelings of the
great statesman although he knows there is no
| foundation for it.

Swimming through these Western woods. as
we have seen the Paroquet illuminate the YER
dure Of the forest with the billiance of ~
colors.
For long time we could not discover SEhsi
had finally become of Mrs. BenneTliassett. The
Review gives us the first Information Of her
end. Before, however, We attend the death OF
Margaret BleHnerhassett read one verse, writ
ten BY her Own pen, IN memory Of that lovely
island, when that was desolated by 2 ruffian
mob, and she was living at Montreal, In the
ruins Of the past, with her flowers all withered
aud scattered.
1.-THE blacheniny fire has swept through her halls,
The winds fly whistling through them, and the
wave.
No More in spring floods DER the sand beach crawls,
But furious browns in one Overwhelming grave
They hallowed hannts, il waiered as a slave
Drive ON, destructive flood and neer again
On that devoted Isle let man remain
vi.
"Too many blissful moments there I've known;
Too many hopes have there met their decay;
Too many feelings now forever gone.
TO wish that thou wouldst eer again display
The joyful coloring OF thy prime array
Buried with thee, let them remain blot;
With thee, their sweets their bitterness forgot"
We believe there is yet Q cabin or two on
the island and cornfields where the garden
stood. But the Palace of Fancy, and home OF
Philosophy, of Beauty and Grace, will be rear
ed no more!-BuRR and JEFFERSON finished the
scene.
Must we relate the last days of Margaret Ag-
new? Providence has furnished mankind with
many lessons, but few more remarkable or in
|structive than this. We close with the words
of the Review" apt and touching.
1.-The Teverses in this accomplished woman's
fortune, and i'm that of her amiable husband,
illustrate the uncertainties of human life, and
unfold the mysterious doings of Providence
with the children of men.
'More than forty years have passed away
since these events were transacted, and not Q
vestage now remains of the splendid and happy
home Of Herman and Margaret BleneFhasseit.
All has passed away like the vision of plea
SAINT dream; while the thousands of passengers
who travelup and dow y the Ohio, insteamboats
still eagerly inquire alter, and gaze upon "the
Island of Blannerhassett" with wonder and de.
light

ARKAEsEs LEAD MINEs.-We learn from the
Little Rock Democrat, that Messrs Moreland,
Moulton & Hunt. the proprietors of the lead
mines in the neighborhood of Little Rock, are
now erecting houses near the .'diggins," fol
The accommodation Of large gang OF miners
who will shortly arrive from Memphis.
Within iew days past discoveries of every
,ieasive deposites OF the mineral have been
made at some distance from the premises
which prove that the mining region is much
lOre-extensiye than was at first supposed. In
digging the foundation for furnace, a .'lead,
eighteen inches thick and seven feet broad
was struck about three feet below the surface
Of The ground. A sample Of the the ore has
been subjected analysis BY a celebrated chem.
ists, whose report shows it TO contain larger
per centum Of silver than the lead from any
other mines yet discovered in the u. States
TIE proportion of silver is said TO be sufficient
ly large to pay both the expense of capitulatior
and raising the ore. Much of the land in The
neighbOrhOOd of the mines belonging to the U
States, and considerable excitement is mani
tested by spectators to procure information
sufficient to enable them to make entries.

Durango, in Mexico. They are in a sitting

Among them was found a scuIptured
head, with a poignard of flint, chapIets,
necklaces, &c, of alternate coIored beads,
fragments of bone, polished like ivory,
fine worked elastic tissues, probably our
