Hol PoR CALIPoRNrA-LJe Lusu-
rance.-As many of our citizens are
preparing to go to California, We beg
to call their a,ten,ion-par'icularly
those who leave families behind to
the importance of insuring their lives,
for the benefit of their families. By
reference to our advertising columns, i,
will be seen there is an agency of a
company in this place, which ,ransacts
business on the Mutual system, whele e,
for comparatively small sum, immi.
grants can effect an insurance on their
lives--and should they unfortunately
die, their families will be entitled TO o
sum which will place them beyond i'm
mediate want. Many immigrants are
going TO California for the benefit of
their families. and this step seems alone
necessary, to render il a certain bust
ness.

"On the application for the admission o.

Coz. BENToN.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Louisville Courier
speaks as follows of Col. Benton's bear.
ing in the United States Senate, on the
presentation of the Missouri legislative
instructions, by his colleague, Mr.. Atch-
ison;
The Colonel exhibited none OF The impet
uosity of disposition, or virulence Of temper
that TO some extent paralyzed his efforts in
the campaign through which he passed before
his constituents during the past autumn and
fall; but in dignifed, calm, impressive
manner which commanded the respect OF all
who heard him, objected to the binding eff
cacy Of the resolutions OF the Legislature Of
his State. upon the ground that they neither
reflected The views or principles OF large
majority OF his constituents, nor was the subs
ject matter thereof within the constitutional
functions Of those who had passed them.--
He paid beautiful tribute to Missouri as
being ardenlly devoted to the Union, and de-
MED that she had any sympathy whatever
with the Calhoun doctrines OF the South, that
looked to dissolution OF this confederacy
and the creation Of a Southern Republic.
In common with the rest OF those who fill.
ed the galleries. was greatly disappointed
at the reply OF Mr.. Atchison. which simply
consisted in declaring that the resolutions
were true exposition OF the feelings of the
people Of Missouri, and that at the appropr-
ate time they would demonstrate it beyond
cavil or doubt. These few words were ut.
tered with vehemence and in state OF ex>
element that awakened the commissera,ion
OF the friends OF Mr.. Atchison, and which
they construed into an exhibition OF alarm
that is not usual with him whose quarrel i.
just." Col. Benton has reserved his fire for
the occasion when the chief OF the disunion>
sts-the Catsline OF South Carolina-shall
enter the ring to break a lance with the
friends OF the Union. II will be an intel.
lec!ual conflict worth Witnessing. and one
that will place the chivalry of South Caro-
lima in more unenviable attitude than they
have ever before occupied.
