Hon. James A. Pearce.


This distinguished gentleman, who graces n
seat in the Senate Of the United States addressed
that enlightened body Thursday and Friday
on the deficiency bill" in reply to the speeches
of Senators Gwin and Hunter.
These gentlemen, and particularly the Senator
from California, had in their speeches assailed
the administration with great violence, charging
it with reckless expenditures and objectionable
extravaganza. The charges for the most part
were directed against the War Department; but
the Interior, Treasury and Navy Departments
were not overlooked, but received considerable
and respectable share of the foundations of the
honorable Senators.
Mr. Pearce had been for two months past con-
fined to his room, severely afflicted with govt.
On Thursday he resumed his seat in the Senate,
and, true to his honorable impulses, entered upon
the defence of the administration against the &C.
cusations of the Senators from the Pacific State
and the "Old Dominion"
Mr.. Pearce is gentleman Of strong, admira.
bly-disciplined and highly-cultivated mind, and,
withal, rare logician. Superadded to his men
tai powers, he is singularly amiable in DISPOSE
ton and agreeable in his manners. We venture
TO assert that no member Of the Senate is more
esteemed by his legislative associates, or held in
higher regard by the visitors to the Capitol than
is Mr.. Pearce, of Maryland.
We are at q loss as to what terms to employ to
characterize the speech of this Senator His dim
and purpose were simply, but adequately, to de-
fend an administration which he considered I'M
justly assailed and this he did most gallantly,
thoroughly, and riumphantly. No speech of
the session has been listened to with more atten-
ton, or has produced a greater sensation. One,
and another-and indeed, all of the charges were
fairly met, and successfully combated and re-
futed.
This effort of the Maryland Senator has won
for him the golden opinions of his fellow
citizens and brother legislators, irrespective OF
parties The entire discontinue of the Pacific
Senator was regretted by some, but member
was heard to remark that DR.. Gwn would prob
ably hereafter pursue the terrapn policy, and not
venture out beyond his depth.
The organ of the administration-our good
friends of the Republicans failed to notice
editorially the admirable defence Of the admin
istration by Mr.. Pearce. Why this omission |?
The editors could not but admire the vigor, abil-
ity, and eloquence of the speech. They doubtless
think of it just as we do, but there are some
who expected to see those thoughts in print.

We learn, with infinite pleasure, that the
statements to which we yesterday referred, In
regard to the health of Rev. Mr.. Bennett, form
erly pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South in this city, are, to great extent, un-
founded We are informed by gentleman OF
this city that he has just received letter from
Mr.. b., which furnishes conclusive evidence that
he is not laboring under anything like " derange-
ment." Icy
Mr.. B. has been laboring for several months
past under a severe nervous disorder, accom-
panied by depression of spirit; and his friends
thought it advisable for him to retire, for sea-
son, from the important position which had been
assigned to him, and the active duties of the
ministry, with view to proper medical treat
ment. Under the skilful management of DR..
Stribling, of Staunton, Va, his health has greatly
improved, and no doubt is entertained that he
will be able, in n short time, to resume those
duties of his calling which have heretofore been
performed with so much credit to himself and
advantage to others.

gression of the North upon the South, and we
sincerely wish it were possible to place copy Of
