The Governor and his suite left on tho All
eek Scott on "Wednesday night the compliment
Of free psssagc being paidto them by Mayer
Kennett on behalf of The ~ScOtts a,ownsrs and
commander. Tho difference between his arri-
val and departure was singular; not reTnsrka-
bic, but little singular. In the first instance,
there was q vast amount Of uniform on guard,
and great waste of gunpowder. and severe
crushing snd pocket picking, and rushing upI
the levee TO secure RETREAT in a store ont Of
the way Of the enthusiasm OF curiosity OF the
soverc;q.is, and then iunping him hurriedly out
OF the store into carriage, and dashing OF 10
safe quarters in the Planters House. This
was the reception Of the Magyar, Louis Kos
sulh, by the Germans and ''lionn mcngers, but
the departure was slightly modified in style, and
displayed much more sanity in The programme.
Ii he came in asa lin, lie certainly went out
Ike lamb, for, with the exception Of the com
nitiec, and some Germans whose acquaintance
he had socially made, he left his rooms for the
boat unattended. Inmy opinion, If he had re-
Inainel here two weeks longer, he could have
walkea the streets without other remark than
might have been ELECTED by the European STYLE
Of his half military, half civilian dress.
The Wings and Democrats have held their
ratification meetings---the latter on Saturday
highland now the campaign may be said 10 be
fairly opened. 1t will be a spiritless one, for
il is conaeaei on all hands that the Wigs will

ditor) once sent in his declination 10 the Com
mittee, but that body held on 10 it, and with
that gentlenan's political weakness, he has, as
we hear, consented TO his name for defeat. As
/ ASCERTAIN evidence OF the view which orr Irish
citizens take Of the coming election, Il win not
call 1t contest, for thai implies a donht and Of
I the vote they will cast, we may state that the

Patrick's Day, visited tie residence Of Mayor
Kennett, and were received as kindly by that
gentleman as Lis healih would permit. This
tribute from body chiefly Democratic 10
Wing candidate, and ayowedly paid to him in
his official capacity, is sufficient for me, what
ever il may be 10 those who are stronger in
! hope on the other side of the question.
Col. Benlon's son, John Randolph Benton,
died at the residence Of his father, here, on
Wednesday morning last. He was among those
who received Kossuth, and was about entering
upon course of studies at our College. He
I was twenty-five years anl a few months old,
and was the only son. lie did in the Catholic
faith, and service was performed in the CAthe-
dral, Immediately previous 10 interment. This
was taken up by the Socialist Anti-Jesut Ger
man paper, and comments made on it with a
very bad and indicate taste. The fact. how =
ever, OF his having been Catholic, is strange,
considering that his family is Protestant aud
the husband Of his aunt, THE daughter of Jes-
Sc Bcnion,l DIR. Potts the champion of Prssby-
terianism in The Southwest. Col. Benton is
sad 10 have felt the blow heavily on his now
hcirlcss house; indeed rumors were siloat on the
streets, that the alllicton had temporarily cf-
fected his mind, We trust mott Although we
would do AL that could possibly be done by our
individual endeayors 10 Illustrate any political
aim OF Col. Bcnton's, we have too much respect
for his past connection with The great minds of
our country, TO feel other Than heartfelt regret
for any misfortune which may visit him.
DR.. Potts has been, and is dangerously sick.
His lungs are frightfuIly diseased, and the ply-
scians have given up all hope Of restoring him
TO health. His death will cause void in The
/ Presbyterian Church which cannot soon be filled
up in The West.
