Hon. John C.. Calhoun
ED. PIONEER,

Less is probably known to the public
of the personale of the great exponent
OF South Carolina opinion, than of any
other of our eminent statesmen. A
number of facts in reference to his per-
sonal habits, etc., have recently been
disclosed, which will prove of interest to
our readers. The family of the Sena-
tor consists of Mrs. Calhoun and seven
children. Of these, one son is plant
er in Alabama, the next a captain in the
army at New Orleans-the eldest daugh-
ter is in Europe, wife of our charge TO
Belgium. Of the three sons at home,
one is physician, the others are young
men of 10 and IL. Mr.. Calhoun has
upon his table everything of southern
production, but is himself spare eater
The view from his house commands dis
tant mountain ranges, 40 and sixty miles
away. His study is 20 feet south of his
mansion, has but one room and one door
His library is not large but choice, and
most of the books relate TO the Union
and her interests. The key of this
building he keeps always uuder his i'm
mediate control when at home No one
enters it but himself, unless he is there.
His house stands on the Seneca river,
1000 feet above the level Of the sea, and
400 feet above the river. There are 20
or 50 negroes on and about the place.
The largest part of his negroes are in
Alabama, where he owns large cotton
plantation, under the management Of his
eldest son. MIR. Calhoun has peculiar
manner of ditching, drainage, and plant
ing, of such utility that his neighbors
regard his as model farm His crops
are represented as far before those OF
any other cutivator in that region OF
the country. His farm is known as For,
Hill, from a fort which once stood there
in the time Of the revolutionary war
Mr. Calhoun's habits are very regular
He rises at four or five o'clock-exer-
cises on horseback, or in long walk
over the farm for an hour; writes until
breakfast at 8, and, after breakfast, is
busy in his library until ] or 9. On
Friday, which is mail day, he rides to
the village. His newspapers, of which
large numbers are sent to him, are
spread in the hall for the use of his Wis
TORS. He is very hospitable, Is great
lion even in the very neighborhood OF
his own house, and in all the relations OF
private life, is a most estimable, upright
and honorable man-Baltimor FINER.

New HAVEN, Aug. 81, lS49.
| remember in writing to you couple
of years since, with regard to Father
Hennepin's wanderings, in answer to
your enquiries, ! gave some account of
his discoveries at the North; and ! be-
lieve, expressed my doubts as to the
truth Of his voyage down the MISSISSIPPI
pi. All the Investigations | have since
made on this subject, have strengthened
this opinion; and | am happy, also to
add, that in conversation had some
time go with President SPARKS, of Har-
ward University ,-certainly one Of the
best authorities on historical questions
in the country,-he entirely confirmed
the view.
The facts, believe, are these: Fa-
ither Hennepin, in the first edition of his
Travels, makes no mention of any voy-
age do~n the Mississippi. He confines
himself to the account of his journey in
to your section of country; about the
truth of which, there is no doubt. At the
same time, he gives all the dates of his
adventures. In the second edition he
adds This voyage dorm the river, and yet
without adding the dates of the other
parts of the narrative. BY a compare
son of these, it will be seen that the voy-
age was impossible. 1t allows, / think,
in no possible way more than twelve
days for canoe royage down TO the
mouth Of the river and back again,
The two narratives therefore conflict
entirely.
And yet readers have been puzzled
by the obvious truth Of his descriptions
The Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1849-1855, 1849-10-04

of the lower part of the Mississippi. and
therefore concluded that he must have
been there. The solution is this: In
the mean tune LIE Clerc had published
his account Of the establishment of the
faith in different parts of this country,
through the efforts of the Romish mis-
sionaries. 1t is entitled Historic de la
Fol. A part Of this contains the history
of voyage down the Mississippi by a
Jesuit who accompanied LaSalle. Be-
fore Father Hennepin published his sec
ond edition, LaSalle had died, and he
therefore appropriates page after page
of this narrative. without giving any
credit, and making himself the traveller.
This accounts for the truth Of some of
his descriptions. / believe in the second
edition, he gives some lame apology for
not having inserted this narrative in his
first book; that LaSalle was then living
and wishing TO be regarded as the dis
coverer of that region, he Father Fl. J
did not wish to dispute the question with
him.
As you perceive from the date of my
letter, | am writing away from home,
and have not my authorities at hand.
may not therefore be entirely accurate in
some of the details of this statement,
but IT is the general account of the way
in which Father III. made up his narra-
tive. On his journal to the Falls of ST.
Anthony, however, think you may rely.
1t has internal evidence Of truth.
Very truly,
Your friend and brother,
w. INGRAHAM KIP.

The state Of the arts in Mime sofa does
not admit of an engraving OF the map &C

would add somewhat to the interest of the
description; but it is not essential.

Our readers will bear US witness that
the Pioneer has always studiously avoid
ed strife. For peace we have made a
sacrifice of pride and a sacrifice Of
printing patronage. Indignities NOS.
insulting, from official meniais, and er-
rogance unequalled from higher q,aes-
ter, we have in silence submitssd TO. Il
is painful to recur to these things; bur
patience has ceased to be virtue. 1T

authority the Secretary .. -a
Territory, has assumed Legislative pow
err Does the organic act recognize
that officer as General Superintendent

originate bills' Can he veto biilsa
Can any bill, any memorial. any peti~

the House of Representatjvos make
their own arrangements for the expenses
incidental to legislation: Can thew buy
their own pen-knivesi ink? paper? wa
fers: without the sanction ard the aren-
cy of Mr.. Secretary Smith? With an
officer In the east end of the Capitol,
so potential and who manifests such in
finite capacity and unequailed wiling
ness to control all the affairs Of the
the Territorial Government, from the
"districting bill" down to the sharpening
of pens in the two Houses, would Il not
be well enough for the two Houses 10
break up and go home, Governors
can veto, States nullify, and Jiciators
dictate; but here is Secretary Smith, all
the way from Ohio, who can d5rogafc
ta'r sanctioned BY Congress The pro-
prietor of this paper was chosen to 80
the Incidental printing of the Council
and House. Would Mr.. Secretary
Smith sanction any thing Of that kind?
Not he! There was the rub That was
the ordeal! II was got through both
the other Houses, but il could not PASS
Mr.. Secretary Smith! That .diaaitary
took il upon himself to arraion the BRO
prietor of the Pioneer, for daring 70 en-
ter upon the duties OF incidental printing
without his sanction. He pat his vete,
upon us; and in q very offensive mca-
ner, took occasion one day to inform Us
that he would not pay US for doing the
incidental printing. eoflered "a shew
him the law, graciously grantme 10 iie
Territorial Legislature, the right to en-
ploy its own printer; but NJ were 81
lenced--we humbiy hope, without has-
ing been guilty of contempt rs s.

NEwsToRK, Sept. 10.
1.-THE dismissal Of NJ. Pousin, the French
Minister, has been the theme of converse
ton pretty much all day. Nj. Poussin. il is
said, claimed of the American Government
through Mr.. Clayton, Secretary of State,
indemnity for French property destroyed
by the bombardmsHt Of Vera Cruz. Mr..
Clayton took the matter into consideration,
and correspondence ensued some weeks
ago; but M. Poussin pressed his demand so
tindustrlonsly, not to say impertinent!y, that
the subject was referred TO the President.
He Immediately demanded the recall Of Nj.
Poussin by the French Government.
