BENTON IN CLARK CoUNTy.-We Fave
a letter from Alexandria, giving an. &C.
count Of ''t!e >peaking' in that towa on
Tuesday last. The meeting was a large
one. Col. Benton led off in a speech Of
two hours and half, during which the
writer says he used the capital ~ TS7
,imes-the name "Benlon' 2s3 ,i.4iss-
called Atch>on, Green and Birch "dfsun-
ioni>ts and nullitiers" 60 ,imes--denied
his vote on the Oregon question Al times
told the people that he had .Seas 5000
for the State, in various ways, Al times
and wound up. by saying, that he loved
the Wigs, the Wings void sa.tlin him,
Re, a great many times.
When Col. Benton had concluded, he
left the ground. Mr. Green called upon
him to stay, but the letter says he would
not. Green then spoke for some ten "
fifteen minutes, and used up Col. Boston.
The wrl,er gives somewhat amusing
account of the attempt Of the Captain Of
the steamboat; 10 do Col. Benton honor, BY
firing his old swivel; but it would not 70
off. Several unsuccessful efforts were
made, and then il was discovered that some
mlschievons boys lad put brass button
in The touch hole!
The writer gives il as his opinion, that
Col. BeMon's visit in that quarter has
proved failure. He not only made no
converts, but is said TO have alienaied
friends. He is, we have no doubt, sim
cerc in this opinion. No. Republican.
THE DlspATcHrs FROM France. Tho
alleged "hy authority" Washington ces.
respondent (Alpha) of the New Yak
Tribune, states that dispatches have been
received from Paris, lv our Government,
not, however, through Mr.. Rives. as an
nourcrd in a 'el,graplio despatch few
days since. He says they are confined
entirely to the subject consequent upon
the dismissal of NJ. Poi,s>in. The French
Government disatows entirely TIE conduct
of NJ. Pons>in. The Government bas
also been officially Informed Of the aproin!.
men Of NJ. rohssin's successor. IN the
