COL BENTON DEFENDING LIEUT.. BEALE.-
Col Thomas II. Benton, has written very
able letter to the National hsteHigencer in
v'ndicaton of Lieut.. Beale's conduct both
in his recent assault upon Commissioner Many
penny and in his management of the affairs
entrusted to his care in California. He shows
that the assault upon the Commissioner was
occasioned by three editorial articles which
that individual caused to be inserted in the
Washington Star, holding up Lieut.. Beale
in the light of a defaulter and he proves by
facts and figures, and the testimony of respec-
table California men, that Lient Beale SO
managed the $500, 900 of public money which
was committed to him, as to produce property
for the United States worth more than treble
that amount at the expiration of his two years
of service among the Indians.

LAST WoRps OF HENRY A WrsE.-Mr. Wise

of Virginia has spoken his last words to the
Democracy of the Old Dominion In his part
ing address, he reviews his past labors with
satisfaction, and indulges triumphant hope
for the future. The election takes place on
oath inst. He says:

THE COURSE OF TRADE.-Aecording to the
Louisville Journal, that city is entirely ru's
round by the recently constructed railroads
through Ohio and Indiana. The course of
travel and trade has left the Ohio river, and
all the important cites-Cincinnati not ex
cepted-are suffering in consequences; while
inland cities, which few years since had
nothing but sleepy future in prospect, have
suddenly awakened to life and energy. The
Journal says:
"We know of no other city in all this vast
Union that is just now suffering so much injury
from the effects of the superior enterprise OF
other communities as Louisville. The con-
struction of numerous raIwaysin every direc-
tion, North, East and West. while none have
been built South. has had the effect to divert
both travel and trade from her, and no effort
worthy of respect has been made to counteract
this tendency. Cincinnati has also been
sufferer from the injurious influences of the
network of railway that have been spread out
on the North between that city and the lakes.
But her citizens have had the sagacity to pre-
vent the evil; and to remedy it, propose to
extend railroads to the South, and will give
to Cincinnati decided advantage in compet-
ing with Louisville forsthe trade in that direc-
| tiOn.'
