THOMAS II. BENTON AND VIM ALLEE.-A
correspondent of the CirclevilIe (O) |Vatchman
writing from ST. Louis, in 4 late letter gives an
interesting account of an interview with Col
Benton, in the course of which Old Bullion spoke
of prominent Ohio Democrats, and gave his
opinion of them. He says:
Il am pleased to say that his words of with.
ering denunciaton were measured out to but
very few of OHIO Democrats. OF ex Senator
Allen he said, that after the degentracy of Cal
houn, whom he (Benton) could alone manage
to keep in check with his reasonable design of
dssolying the Union by notification, Allen was
the only man left in the Senate, capable of
welding lance successfully with the leader Of
The other wing of the ppostion-lienry Clay.
: But for the mastery activity Of Allen, sir, the
dictator would have wholly trumphed with his
seven monster propositions he laid )wn for the
Harrison and Tyler administration. 1t was Al
len, sir, and Allen alone, that checked the pro
gress of the Dictator"

rl>HE first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age ofSteam. 1t has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were
The second half Of the century will be known
as commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but TO ENLIGHTEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with ii is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. f. Solomon, after twenty six
years of close observation upon the experiments
OF his own aud of others in attempts to make the
principle Of the condensation Of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof TO the u .
States government, and 10 individuals or to COM
panies, the rights Of States, counties, or cities
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
of human lives and suffering, secured by the US
of this new motor, will nevitably insure It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power is now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great ex pense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
gine has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelllng agent, rom the single horse power
for the coton-gin to the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, Of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and hremen, and ofbulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
800 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty five (25) horse power, now
working well" at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th instant
''We pleased to state that ]. c.. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his
Of carbonic acid gas in its application to an engine.
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propeiling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that
he n"right-about-face" a man-of-war liz less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his Improved Spring Saddle,
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider

able inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c, may

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE,
FRIDAY January 23, 1851.

FRIDAY January %, 1904.
Mr.. MALLORY read from the Globes report
Of Mr.. HALLS remarks, yesterday, the following
in relation TO the publication Of the reports OF the
Senate debates
Z" may be mistaken in fact, but have looked
over the last long speech made IN the Senate, the
speech of the honorable Senator from Florida,
Mr.. MALLORY with some care, to find a remark
in it to which had replied but could not find
word Of il in the speech of the honorable SEN
ator."
Mr. NJ said that these remarks had been made
while be was temporarily absent from the Senate
chamber. He did not aliude to the matter now
because he supposed the Senator from New
Hampshire had intended anything personal On
the contrary, that gentleman had assured him this
morning that he had since found the remark to
which he had replied. But what he MIR. M ! did
object to, was that he should have been held up in
illustration Of the practice pursued by old senator's
in revising their speeches. Although he did de-
sire to alter some portions OF the report OF his
speech on the subject Of corporeal punishment in
the Navy, he had refrained from doing 80 to any
extent; and the foreman in the Globe office had
Assured him, when he Mr.. M. returned the re-
vised report OF his speech. that the number Of
corrections was unusually small.
Mr. HALE said that in alluding TO the sena-
tors speech. he Mr.. II had been un fortunate
in selecting it as an example. he had since found
in it the remark to which he had replied, and
0n0uIQ not nave uueu W ~ al uou hC uOt oCeH
called on to name an instance where the reports
had been changed materially. This, he still per-
sisted, was very commonly done.
PRIVATE BILLS.
The Senate then proceeded, as in COMMITTEES Of
the Whole, to consider private bills, placed on the
calendar among the general orders. The follow
ing were finally reported, and passed to be en-
crossed
Bills for the relief Of Charles A. kelleu of The

to be predisposed in favor of the Secretary of
Slate, and which were chosen by Democratic
Houses, and yet both had reported in favor Of the
bill before the committee. For his own part, he
said he did not care what was the course Of pro-
ceedings The cabinet Of General Taylor decided
that the Secretary of State the proper officer
to take action as to the Mexican indemnity, and
under that arrangement, Mr. Webster assumed
the management, and yet every nerve had been
strained to damage the Secretary oil State, and m
Jure the administration in the public estimation
lie then went on to show that the Mexican gov
eminent is not the party at present complaining,
but the Messrs Green, who expected to have
made some $I75,0O0 by the transaction. lie said
he should have been surprised, If the contract
had been taken from responsible house and
given 10 persons without capital, and TO whom
no responsibility attached, As to the charges
that had been brought against MIR. Webster, he
considered them as frivolous and vexatlOus; and
ii he was not careful as To pecuniary affairs, 1t
arose from his devoting his time and intellect
to national aud public affairs.
From this he diverged, and entered at much
length into the labarynth Of Massachusetts poll
tics, where, according to his account. Wings,
Democrats and Abolitionists are governed more
by principles Of expedlency than dislnterested
motives, and desire to promote the public good;
and concluded with some sarcastic remarks with
reference to his colleague
After Mr.. DAVIS had concluded, the commit
tee rose.
The House having resumed, the message of
the President, which had been received during the
forenoon, was reported, accompanied by COM
munication from the Secretary of State, in which
he states that he had received the resolution of the
House, relative to the notes Of the Mexican min
lister in February and March last, and touching
any information which the department might pos
sess of the views of the Mexican government
with reference to the payment OF the indemnity
in May next. 1t is customary, the Secretary re-
marks, for resolutions of this description to be
addressed to the President He knows of no OBJ
lection, he says, to furnishing the notes alluded
TO, but which he thinks it his duty to transmit to
to the President. He concluded by stating that
it would be improper for him to state what verbal
communication took place between the Mexican
minister and himself
The House adjourned till tomorrow.
