stA DIRTY Doc ..--NIr. Senator Petit, of In
diana, who made Wilmot Proviso and Freesoil
speeches in 1S48, but who has lately been going
it strong sson the Nebraska" has got himself
into double trauble. In the first place, his I'M
mediate neighbours and constituents Of Lafay
cite recently 'shissed him to DEATH while he
was attempting to excuse his course in the Ne
braska business; and, having stated positive
falsehoois with regard to Col, Benton, he has
now got the old Missourian after him ''with a
sharp stick The editor of the Lafayette Daily
American wrote to Col Benton respecting the
statements of Petit, and the following is :" Old
Bullion's'' answer
WAsHlsGroS, June II 1854.
JAS Howe. Esq, Lafayette, Indiana:
Sir: Your letter has just been received, in
forming me that Mr.. Petit, in public speech
in your town, stated that was the first man to
break the Missouri Compromise; that had q
law passed by Congress annexing to the State
a large territory, etc Sir, your Senator is a
great liar and dirty dog, falsifsi public
history for criminal purpose The Missouri
Compromise was not violated in anneSing the
Platte country Both parties to the Compromise
agreed to it, the Free States being unanimous
There was not even yeas or nays upon it. The
General Assembly of Missouri requested it. We
applied TO the members personally and individ-
ually for their consent, which they gave, and
without their consent no movement was made,
or would have been made. The journals prove
this. There is q full account of it in my
s'Thirty Years View" in the chapter headed
"Extension Of the Missouri Boundary" also, in
my late Nebraska speech, it is briefly alluded
so, and that is probably all the dirty dog knew
about it. and which he falsifed to answer his
criminal purposes. | send you some of my Ne
braska speeches, and l hope you will find the
chapter in the Thirty Years" and see that
this change in the line was asked as boon from
the Northern States, and by them granted in a
spirit of kindness, and in way to prove that
they would not suffer anti slavery feelings to
prevent them from doing an act of great favor
to the State Of Missouri, and for which all Mis-,
souri, was thankful at the time, and | am still.
Mr. Petit must feel that his cause is villanous,
when he can thus stand up before his constituents
to falsify public history, and to justify his Own
violation of the Missouri Compromise, by telling
lie upon me- Respectfully,
THOMAS III. BENTON

A CURIOUS CAsE.-one night last week a
young man boarding at the Red Lion Hotel
went to bed, as known by persons in the house,
entirely sober, and in usual health, ETC. On
awakening during the night, or in the morning,
he discovered that his nose was crushed down,
the bridge apparently broken, his upper Lip
cut through, a large patch of skin abraded from
his chin, and bruises on his temple and neck
His room door remained closed, as he left II on
lying down, and he accounts for the wounds by
the fact that he was formerly in the habit o.
sleep, walking. He supposes that he must have
got up in his sleep. walked out and fallen, and
sfterward returned to bed without waking

A CURIOUS INCIDENT.-Mr. Flauddin, in his
narrative OF residence in Persia, relates a
curious incident which occurred when he was at
Ispahan:
The Persian servant of European had been
stung by q scorpion, and his master wished to
apply ammonia, the usual remedy in such cases,
but the man refused, and ran off to the bazaar
When he returned he said he was cured, and
appeared to be So The European, rather sur
prised at this almost instantaneous cure, ques-
toned him, and found that he had been to
dergish, who, he said, after examining the
wound and uttering few words, had several
times touched it with little iron blade, Still
more astonshed at the remedy than the cure,
the European desired to see the instrument by
which the latter had been effected. the cost
Of small pickech he WAS allowed to have it for
a few minutes in his possession. After q careful
examination, finding nothing extraordinary in
the ms ~ument, he made up his mind that the
cure was n mere trick that the dervish was au
impostor that the scorpion sting had not pene-
trated, and that his servant had been more
frightened than hurt. He threw the blade con-
temptuously upon the table, when, to his great
surprise, he beheld it attach itself firmly to a
knife. The quack's instrument was simply q
magnet. But what power had the loadstones
attraction over venom This discovery was
very odd; incredulity was at nonplns, and
yet the man sturg by the scorpion was cured.
and he who had cured him was in great renown
at Ispahan for the treatment of that sort Of
wound"

.HeSsrs. Editors: VIII you be kind enough -,
through the medium of your valuable paper, to
call the attention of the Chief OF Police to ~
nuisance which exists at the corner of Girou
and St Paul streets A gang of noisy boy
congregate their nightly, and scenes revolving
to deoency are perpetrated. A lazy Irish
Waterman walks up and down the street with
dignifed step, who neither cares or knows any
thing about it. No lady is allowed to pass
without being insulted The leader of the gang
is named =, and lives on st. Peter street,
between Heyia and Poydras.
Respectfully yours, A SUBSCRIBER
We have left out the name of the leader of the
gang referred to in the above communication,
with the hope That n timely warning may III
duoe that juvenile offender to turn his attention
to something more respectable than offering IL
suits to females. The Chief Of Police will, W.
are sure, see that this gang is dispersed and I'll,
offenders punished. That 'tlazy Irish watch
man. ought to be made to attend to his duty, o.
some one put in his place who will.
