Col. Benton has addressed a letter to The
National In.eliigsneer, in which he AYERS,
uron'competen, testimony, that there is no
war with The Indians on the frontiers; that
the arming of the new regiments is merely
u pretext for preparations against Cuba. On
dis late visit to St Louis, he made enquiries
saniong the fur traders, men OF the fist res.
pectability who have large capitals embark
ed in'the trade, and they all assured him
there was no war and no likelihood of war
on the Upper Missourior North Platte; that
they had been carrying on their trade as
usual w'iahaas the least apprehension of hos
silifies. They deprecated the preparations
for war as being fuinons TO their business,

cholas may be regarded, perhaps, as ahe
greatest Sovereign of modern times, and
few have filled a wider space in the history
Of the world. With an empire extending
from the Baltic TO Bherings straits he ruled
iwo-ihlrds of the circumference of the fabit-
able globe, aud over all those vast terrific
rles and races he was known and felt
Throughout that immense region he might
be said to be, in every sense, +" the State. -
lie was identified with all its interests, mo-
raj, social. political and religious. He knew
every Thing, inspired every thing. directed
every thing, military, civil, ecclesiastical
IL is not TO be wondered at. that, TO sach a
labor Of thirty years duration, even his col
ossal frame and strong brain should at last
yield and succunh.
With the genius Of the Great Frederick
in administrative capacity, he had almost
the genius of Napoleon for war; His NOR
raj and conscientious qualities surpasses
those Of either
