Mn C,1uoUS-As several misstatemcnts
have apneared, as relates to the alleged doma-
tion of money to Mr.. Calhoun, we copy the FOL
lowing from the Southern Press, us containing
we suppose, true version Of that transaction: !:
The facts are, that a number OF the triends
of Mr. Calhoun did propose to raise the sum OF
sixty or eighty thousand dollars for present
to him, for the purpose o! euabllng him to visit
Europe, and particularly the countries Of the
Mediterranean, for his health. Aud Mr.. Cal
houn refused TO accept the gift. After his
death. it appeared that some thirty thousand
dollars of the money had already been sub
scribed and paid-and it was offered success
siyelv TO the tonr sons of Mr.. Calhoun for the
benefit of his estate, aad was by each Of them
refu sed. :. 1t is mistake that either Mr.. Cal
houn or lis estate was embarrassed. His pro-
perty, ON his death, was worth about one hUn.
d-ed and fiftv thousand dollars, and his debt
due some bank in South Carolina, was only
about twenty five thousand. SO that there WAS
no embarrassment But as the money, to the
amount OF thirty thousand dollars, had been
paidupby his friends, they, on the refusal of
his SONS to accept it, forwarded check for the
amount. to his widow, stating that it could
not, without great Inconvenience, be restored
to the contributors, some Of whom, perhaps,
were unknown. So she accepted it. But her
SOUS had before taken care that she should be
entirely independent; for they released to her.
