Col. BENTON ON SLAvERY.-Flndlng
nothing in the past to condemn some
people must go into futurity to see II any
thing can be found there! and even INTO
my own bosom, to see if anything is bid
there, which can be condemned. Very
good they shall know my opinions. And
first they may see them in my public acts
in nv proposals for the admission OF
Texas, five years ago, in which proposed
to limit the western extension OF slavery
by longitudinal line, I believe the looth
degree of west longitude-next in votes
on the Oregon bill, in which l opposed
the introduction of slavery there-and'
again in my letter to the people OF Ore
gon, in which declared myself to be no
propogandist of slavery. These were
public acts. But you want public dec
larations of personal sentiments; very
good; you shall have them. My person
al sentinents, then, are against its intro
duction into places in which it does not
exist. IF there was no slavery IN Mis-
souri, to-day, should oppose It's coming
in: if there was none in the United States,
I should oppose its coming into the U
States; and as there is none IN New
Mexico or California, am against send
ing it to those territories, and could not
vote for such measure. eA

HUNGARIAN LADIES FIGHTING IN THE
HUNGARIAN WAR.-By the last steamer
we received some particulars of the glori-
Gus successes achieved by the Hungarian
nation in the war with the Austrians-a
war conducted with all the genius of the
Hungarian leaders. A German paper,
1.-THE Didaskalia of Frankfort, informs us
that Hungarian ladies are fighting with
1.-THE same enthusiasm for freedom as their
Among one hundred and
forty Hungarian captives taken by Gen.
|Simonish, there were nineteen Hungarian
ladies, with muskets in their hands, and
dressed in military uniform. A Countess
|of the highest rank, has raised regiment
lat her own expense, and her sister is the
commander of the regiment.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER AND RoB THE CHEROKEE

ATTEMPT TO MURDER AND RoB THE CHEROKEE
AGE>T--A letter from P. II. White, Esq, of this
place, now at the Cherokee Agency, states that
on the night Of Wednesday, the 9th inst, several
men broke into the office of the Cherokee Agent,
and with an axe and clubs assaulted Cen Brown,
the Agent. His bruises and wounds were severe,
and for some time his life was despaired OF. The
intention of the scoundrels was to rob Gen. Brown
of large sum of public money, which he had in
his possession to pay off the Treaty party.
We are gratifed to learn that he is not consid-
cred in dang,r. His family left here OH Tuesday,
and no doubt arrived at the Agency on the next
day. Three of the robbers have been arrested at
Fort Gibson; a soldier, negro, and an Indan.--
1t is supposed that two more soldiers en-
gagged in the affair.--Van Buren, Intelligencer.

The locofocos of the Maine Legislature
are strongly anti-slavery. The Senate
has adopted string of Wlmot Proviso
resolutions, from which we take the fol-
lowing:
ReSoIred, That we do hereby declare
for ourselves and in behalf of the people
of this State, our uncompromising oppo-
sition to the extension of slavery into any
territory of the United States now free.
Resolued, That our Senators in Con-
gress are hereby instructed, and our Rep
resentatives requested, to vote against any
act establishing Governments for said
territories, that do not contain an e1preSS
zrohibation Of sIavery.
A large portion of the locofoco press of
Maine takes the ground of these :esolu-
tions.

In Humphreys Livery Stable, corner
of G and Sixth streets, were to be seen
today, bull and a COW calf from the
Dead sea, brought hither by 1t. Lynch,
the commander of the recent expedition.
They are large and sleek. They were,
we have been told, presented to the Vir-
ginia Legislature, and by that body given
to Mr. Castleman, of Loudon county, the
great raiser and improver of stock. SIM

Correspondence of the Telegraph.


have just this moment seen your paper of the
6tb June, from which Ilsarn that you have many
evil reports in relation to tho California company
hinder Capt. Griffin, of Lamar county, in which
There were several of your Hampstead county
friends We have had many such rumors here,
! all of which with the exception the wounded
horse coming in) am convinced are unfounded
. returned home late last night from the Nor
q mon Grove, about so miles west of Bonham, to
. which place accompanied the Agricultural and
Mining Society, from Pine Bluffs, under the con-
troll of Lewis M. Schrack; they only 80 men
strong, all told, and from the best information 1
could get, have no fears for their safety, and
feel confident that they will meet with no inter-
rupton from the Indians
The last reliable information have had from
the company under Capt. Grifin's command, was
contained in letter which / received from my
brother, dated at the Upper Cross Timbers, the
llth of April.
The Wi chita Mountain gold hunters from this
and Red River counties, have just returned.---
They followed the trail made by Grifin's COM
pany about $50 miles from this place, but heard
nothing definite from them. They found the
skeleton Of person, supposed to be negro, about
six miles above the mouth Of the Big Wichita,
and were told by Caddo chief that the Wichita
Indians had killed forty of a company OF New
Workers, who started from Fort Smith for Cali
forna. Old Madam Rumor says they found lots
of gold
We have hundred and one reports in relation
to Grif6n's company, but am convinced that
none of them can be relied upon. So you may
say to the friends of the Hampstead county boys
that they need not make themselves the least
uneasy for their safety, for if any people on Gods
earth could 60 across the plains from here to
california, the Arkansas and Texas boys CON-
bined can do it. After they got together here
they made whole team, and no mistake.
Yours truly, IL.

WASHINGTON, Jwne Sth.-We under
stand that Governor Graham, of N. Co.,
declines the mission to Spain-his young
family is the cause. Waddel!, of N. c.,
lit is now supposed, will be appointed.
The diplomatic appointments to Russia,
Mexico, Rio, Buenos Ayres, China, and
the Barbary states, are Yet to be made
There are very few candidates for Africa.
For Mexico, Waddy Thompson and Gov.
|Tallmadge are most prominent, though
Gov. Letcher, of Kentucky, may get it.
| Mr.. Crittenden recommended him for a
place in the Cabinet-failing there he is
considered good for foreign mission.
The Cabinet had some debate yesterday
on foreign appointments, but nothing
was done.
The Republic will certainly appear on
the 18th inst, and not on the 25th, as has
been reported.
The death of Gen. Gaines, which was
announced here to-day. created profound
sensation of regret among his friends at
1.-The seat of Government.

The Texas Times of Tuesday mentions the
arrival of Mr.. I'rbble from Navarro county, with
news of an engagement between the Clarksville
company of California emigrants and party Of
Wich itas, in which the latter were routed with
the loss of ten killed. They had stolen some
horses from the company, which were retaken,
together with many others. The Wichitas after
wards came into the,new station on the Brazos to
beg for food when they related their nlishap, and
sued for peace. Two of the Clarksville men were
kled---names not known.

HUNGARIAN OFFICERS Bem, who COM
mands the Hungarian troops, is apole by birth
He served under Napoleon in the famous Russian
campaign, and also in the army Of Poland that
fought so bravey in 1881 for their country's Inde-
pendence. His military talents proved by his
success in Hungary, and all accounts concur in
representing him a man of the highest honor.
He is assisted by two Of his countrymen, Gems
Chrzanowsli and Dembinski, who also fought in
the war oflS3l. These polish officers are regular
thorns in the side of despotism. The world owes
them an immense debt.

FOURTH OF JULY.

The Anniversary of our independence
has again arrived, and another year ls|
added to the existence of American free
dom. With an energy untiring, and a
progress unexampled in the history OIL
nations, our country has continued TO ao-
vance in all the true requisites OF great
ness. until she has attained stand which,
wins the admiration, and commands the
respect of the world. How has she done
this! How has she been enabled to dash
aside the obstacles which have retarded
the progress of other countries, and 10
spring forward with such rapidity IN the
race of improvement? No kind hand
nursa her infancy-in her maturity she
was assailed and oppressed; mountains
impeaed her pathway, and frightful tenn
pests burst in fury above her. How has
she resisted all defied all--triumphed
over all? By what influence shines she
forth to-day arrayed in wealth and glow
ing with happiness at home, and crowned
with honor in the eyes of mankind!
Look back to the Fourth of July, 1776
and there see the germ of results so glori
Gus. A few noble and resolute spirits
writhing under the sense of repeated in
juries, spurn their shackles and declare
their country free. The timid grow bold
the weak, strong-the conflict comes
and Freedom, triumphant, sows the seeds
of truth, right, justice and enlightened
principles upon the liberated soil. We
reap the fruits. Here is the cause of om
success-the handspring of both indi
vidual and national prosperity. Here is
the talisnan which impells us ahead oi
others in the grand Olympic of glory. and
makes us what we are, at home and
abroad.
Let us, then, cherish this day, nor suffer
its sacred memories to grow faint within
our bosoms. Let us bear in mind that to
the principles SO nobly declared by oul
fathers on this day, we are mainly in
debted for the domestic blessings we en-
Joy, and for the elevated stand we have
taken among the nations of the earth
and ever as this anniversary brightens
in the east, may our hearts 60 forth il
gratitude to the Author of all good, thro
whose guidance we have SO signally tri
umphed.

LATE AND INTERESTING FROM ST. DoMIN-
1Go.-By the arrival of the schooner J. b.
Lindsey, Captain Hathaway, from St.
Domingo City, which place she left on
the 25th ult., we learn that another re-
volution had broken out, and that the
army and navy had declared in favor of
IGen. Santa Anna as President.
Hernannes, the President, met the
troops on the outskirts of the city, and
declared to them that he was still their
commander General Santa Anna then
withdrew from the army, and retired to
. his plantation, after which the troops
Idisbanded; but they not being satisfied,
again requested Santa Anna to head
them, which he complied with, and i'm
mediately marched for the city. Previous
to his march, the city of Don Carlos was
burnt by order of President Hernannes,
with view of preventing the troops
taking possession of it.
1t was supposed that St. Domingo City
would fall into the hands of Gen. Santa
Anna, and that he would be declared
President of the Dominican Government
1'aoo Days Later.-The schooner Silas
E. Hand also arrived yesterday from St.
Marks, St. Domingo, whence she sailed
on the 9th ult. Capt. Ackerly states
that affairs on the island are far from be-
ling encouraging, either as regards the
prospects for peace or commerce, gen.
orally, with foreign countries. The Pre-
|sident after his return from his unsuccess-
full expedition against the Spanish part
Of the island, stated in his dispatches that
his army had been victorious in every
battle, and extolled them very much for
their courage and gallantry, when, in
fact, they lost all their cannon, and were
lin most miserable condition. 1t was
not known how many men he had lost,
las he took the precaution not to state the
fact in his dispatches.-N. Y. Herald.
