or The Bentonians and anti Bentonians held
their several meetings at St Louis on the 18Th.
Mr.. Benton made his speech in the afternoon in
front of the Court-house. He appears to have
been heard with attention, and was warmly ap-
plauded by his friends. The Rsveille and the Or
gan, both neutral papers, and the Union tdemo-
craD speak Of the elI9rt in high TERMS The Re-
publican twhigl confines itself to general deriding
Of the democrats for the violence Of discussion
which has broken ont among them on this occasion.
Al night the anti Bsntonians held their meeting in
the ROiunda Of the COurt-house. Che Rotunda
was denseIy crowded. Judge Bircb-the same
with whom Col Benton had the violent cOntro-
versy in the interior-opened the meeting with a
strong appeal against Col. Benton, his conduct and
lis motives. lie had good deal Of interruption.
He WAS followed by J. A. Green, one Of the Mis-
souri, Representatives in Congress. The anthem
ton resolutions Were reported and Tead-after
fashiOn-but here all order and deeorum appear to
have failed. By all accounts scene of hide
scrbable confusion followed. The ReyeiIle says
that for full threequarters of hour groans Kisses
and yells were sent up at every portion of the
house. from pit to dome. A number Of persons at
tempted to address the meeting, but, one after
other they were compelled to resume their seats.
Some little order was obtained, for while, with
the assistance of the police, but at time did the
meeting again appear to transact business. The
anti Benton resolutions were reported as carried

TARIFF.-The Washington correspondent OF the
journal Of Commerce says: " As to the question OF
the tariff, Mr. Meredith will, il is said, present
very moderate system in his repoH-not adopting
the ultra views Of the protectionists Of Pennsylva-
mia. There is some reason to. believe that Mr..
Meredith will propose notifications Of the Sub
Treasury system-perhaps the same that Mr.. X. }.
Walker was anxious TO effect"

The IsTHMUs RoAD.-We mentioned on Tues
day, says the New York Tribune of the l9,h, that
the contract for the grading Of about half the con
templated Railroad across the Isthmus of Panama
had been taken by a Philadelphia house. William
H. Slidell is TO succeed Mr.. Hughes as engineer,
aud the work will be commenced about the first of
December Messrs. Totten & Trantwine, the con
tractors, ilfemplOy large force of natives of the
country, who have heretofore worked under them
upon Improvements in Magdalena River. These
natives can be hired on wages greatly below those
paid for similar work in this country, which is
probably reason for the favorable nature of the
contract The people and officers of the Govern
ment of New Granada are disposed 10 favor the
work by grants of land and all other means IN their
power, and there now appears fair prospect that
it will be rapidly pushed forward. The movement
in the matter of the Nicaragua route VIII also serve
to stimulate the Panama Contractors to more than
ordinary eSertion, as well as eAeits the New Gra.

The RiUer BuSiReSS.-Hhe season for ginning be-
ing pretty welladvanced, think it probable there
may be good deal of cotton on Black River and
It's continents, ready for market But these streams
being quite low it is not likely that large boats will
be in for some time. The Cant and Lucy Wing
are running YET and on their last downward trips
took about as much as they could pack, Should the
waters continue low as long some suppose, they
will make considerable impression on the small
crops before the larger boats get into the trade.
The little steamer d. Lewis is running on the Ten
sas, and will serve to bring out cotton from places
where the Cant cannot go. The hOrsebOats Eliza
and Creole arrived with good freighis during the
last week, which were deposited here for the boats
in the lower trade. Capt Harlan Of the Magnolia
also arrived. But whether she brought cotton
seeds and notes or not we felt no desire to know
Being rather hard up, we have TO lOrego the adj
vantages of further speculatiOns in that commodity
and consequently did not sample her cargo.
Should the rivers rise soon, the large class boats
will doubtless be quickly in the trade, and in view
of that contingency, we suppose planters will has
