PROFESSOR BUFFERS FAMILY.

We have received private letter from a
gentleman Of high character, we'll known in
the scientific world, stating that Mr.. Noble
Butler, brother of him whom Matthew Ward
murdered, is likely to be obliged to sell has
house to raise money to pay the necessary ex-
penses of the prosecution. Several of his
friends in Louisville have acted very generous
ly in the matter but in consequence of the
wealth Of the Wards and the extraordinary
efforts made by them to secure impunity for
the murder the expenses of MIR. Butler have
been very heavy. Our correspondent whose
name alone, if we were at liberty to give it,
would secure attention and entire confidence
in his statements adds:
"Mr. Butler, like his lamented brother, is
teacher. and conducts one Of the best young
ladies' day-schools in Kentucky. He Is u man
Of small means, but with a noble, generous
soul, well worthy Of lis Christian name Know
ing him intimately and being with him during
the dark and exciting hour Of his poor broth
er's death, when his Christian principles were
put to the severest test that can be conceived,
he never was heard to utter a vndictive word
against the miserable being whose mad folly
had brought to murderous end his brothers
valuable and beautiful life"-N Y Times.
Professor Butler left widow and child.
Let them be cared for also We doubt not
many Of our readers will respond to this sug-
gestion.

Mr.. J. Perkins arose TO address tho Commit
tee on Mr. Benefits land bill; but he first took
occasion to review portion of the address Of
Messrs Maurice, Wheeler, Peek, Peckham. and
Oliver, Of New York, in which the design Of
acquiring Cuba and annexing Mexico is
charged upon the President; and in which Mr..
Soule Is alleged to be party to the designs
upon Cuba.
Mr.. Perkins said he knew nothing Of the
things charged. He claimed to be influenced
by no sectional views, but simply by constitu-
tioDal convictions. He was not here a. n spe-
clal advocate of the Administration. Bat MIR.
Soule could not defend himself here; and it
was neither manly, chiyalric, nor characters
tic of gentlemen occupying place On this
floor
Mr.. Perkins read certain extracts, containing
charges, expressed or implied, against Mr..
Soule, and declared that be, though member
OF the Committee on Foreign Affairs, knew
nothing of the things asserted. He, however
regarded it as totally incredible, that Mr..
Soue had done aught of an unjust, discour-
teous. or insulting character.
Whatever Mr.. Soule had done with respect
to the Black Warrior, he had done q. the so
icitation of citizens of New York, where that
property was owned-of constituents of those
very gentlemen.
Mr.. P. had voted for the Nebraska bill. but
he had SO voted in the fulfilment Of a solemn
duty; and he respected the firm and manly
conduct of Northern gentlemen who had been
just enough to do so also.
Mr.. Peokham said be was one of the sisners or

Sgners OF the address to attack Mr.. Soule ner-
sonaiiy; and no statement made was protested
