The Difficulty Between Senators Davis
 and Benjamin.

The recent difficulty between Senator Davis. of Miss. and Benjamin, of La. grew out of the following coloquy in the Senate
 Mir Benl lamn was speaking on the army bill when Mir. Davis said, |" I will correct the Sen ator, as that seems to be the point of his argu- ment The secretary of war does ask money for hreech- loading arms. costing from $50 900 to S4O,OO0, and part of this Sl00,OOO is to go in this way. according to his applica;on''
 Mr. Benjamin replied, "l do not understand that the secretary has asked for any part of this S1OO,OOO to purchase reech-loading firearms If he has, 1 am very mach mstak en-
 Mir. Davis-Oh, will state the very simple fact that he asks money to buy brcech loading arms. Whether this S1OO0OOis to be paid out of the treasury, do not know.
 To this MT. Benjamin replied-" It is very easy for the Senator to give sneering reply as to what was certainly very respectful in- quiry."
 Mir. Davis-I consider it an attempt to mis- represent 8 very plain remark
 Mir. Beniamin-The Senator is mistaken, and has no right to state any such thing. His man. her is not agreeable at all
 Mir. Davis-lf the Senator happens to find it disagreeahle, hope he will keep it to himself
 MT. Benjamin-It was directed to me, and will not keep it to myself. I will reply to it instanter.
 MT. Davis-Yo ou have got it. sir.
 Mir. Benjamin--That is enough, sir; shall not again be diverted from my public duties.
 Two gentlemen of such age and standing should be slow to take offence Their subse- quent explanation and apology to the Senate showed that it was the result of mutual misun- derstanding and sudden heat.

LONDON GossIP-THE DICKENS DIVORCE SCANDAL.-A letter from London on the 4th instant confirms the report, which was vaguely given out by the previous foreign news, that DICKENS, the novelist lecturer, actor, etc. the author of Boa, Pickc05ck, etc, has applied for a divorce from his wife, after twenty wears of connubaty and the issue of about d dozen of children, and, on the ground of alcompatiJiLty cf temPsr'
 There Is an incompatibility of temper'' mentioned, however, as the real cause of the family eDteae which, if proved, will stamp the character ol the anthor and lecturer with the blackness of infamy:
 You know how exceedingly philanthropic Mir. Dickens MT. Wikie Collins, Mr. Mark Lemon and Mir. Bulwer Lvtton have been of late years; the honorable Baronet, the NJ. P. for Hereiordshire, writing play to prove that We are not so bad as we seem, and the more youthful hteratMs putting on the sock or bus kin--l really do not know which-and acting the tame nonsense to a very select company of very amable persons" old maids nf both sexes" as Christopher North would sav--all for the osensible purpose of assisting some charity.
 At these amateur theatrieas it was peces- sary to get some histrionic talent beyond the benevolent projectors, and Miss Ternan well known in Manchester, and latterly on the Lon don boards, was one of the artistes selected to bear part. very pure and very platonic affection sprang up between the young lady and the author of Plcl:wick l am told she has been on very freud'y terms with Mr Dickens family. She is now charged with being the cause oi the separation that has just taken place between the eminent author and his wife
 l he affair has not been out quite long enough yet, believe to get in the journals, but very soon the whole world and his wife will be gos- sppng the sweet morsels under their tongues as something terrible to contemplate. Dickens does not get much sympathy, the public generl ally deciding, as 1t dces usually in such cases, in favor of the lady It is the demon in the household the shadow on the wall that has been at his elbow for years, and will form the staple for many a narrative Mr. Dickens daughters reside with the father, but his son Charles sticks to his mother
 Gossip has not got so far as to assign the par ticulars and terms of this voluntary divorce, the amount of alimony, etc; but as the novelist. editor, lecturer and theatrical performer is in the receipt of a large income, if the matter comes before the law courts, the yearly settle ment for the wife will doubtless be in the shape and amount of what might be termed swing ing damages.

AN ASSISTANTS CONFIDENCE IN BANK We heard the following capital story yesterday. and only regret that we cannot tell it as it was told to us:
 |" A banker in Dubuque, whom we shall call Mir. My, for short, found 1t necessary short tune ago to suspend business, and accordingly closed his doors, and issued a card 10 his credit ors in which he stated that he hoped he would be able to resume again. The day after MT. M had closed his doors, he was met by Hiber- nian miner, who had $6,OOO deposited with him. and accosted him thus:
 Good morning, Mr. M. Faith, an it's we'll you're looking this morning, considerin' the weather. But, sure, its sorry am, Mir. M, to see that card of yours in the papers But nver you mind such trihes as that mon--take cour- age and hould up your head Us high as iver- the trouble of the thing will soon be over. And as for that S6,OOO of mine, just kape it as long as you want it--I have no use for the lousy dollars--and know yees for an honest mon. and perfectly good for the same at any time. kape it, sir, and pleasant be wid ye
 Mir. N. expressed his thanks, and the banker and depositor separated. But on the following day, Mir. NJ. was startled from his "peasant dreams" by the presentation of check for S6,OOO, bearing the name of his Hibernian fnend. Not Knowing exactly how to under stand the matter, Mr. M sent for Patrick, when the following explanation took place.
 Well, you see, Mr. M.. Peggy that is my wife, has been raising the very devil about my money --and just to pacify the poor, ignorant crater that it was all safe, thought, be dad, that I'd just send for it and count it all over before Der ugly face, and then she'd consent to my leaving it wid you, together with the other $4 GOO, that is giving us much trouble to kape from being stolen from us.
 To such an explanation, together with the new temptation of S4,0OO additional, the baker could take DO exceptions--so he counted out the $6,O00 in short. But that was not the last of the Irshman.
 The banker meeting him several days after wards, desired another explanation.
 Och, the truth is, Mir. NJ, it's myself that has been ashamed to see yees. Peggy, that devil of mine, you see has hid the money, and dom me if can find it at a at all, and that's the truth, sir.
 The banker made graceful tender of his hat, but Pat generously declined to accept the same, although justly entitled to it.--Bwlington Gazette

Increase of Postage.

We are glad to see, says the Nashville Union, that the Senate has adopted a resolution to in- crease the rate of postage. This measure will enable the postohice department to pay its own expenses, and will relieve the treasury from the burden of it's support. It is right that those who write letters should pay for them, and the expense of transporting the mails should be borne by the community according to the ac commodation or advantage that each man re. ce'ves therefrom. This object will be accom- plished by raising the postage to proper reve enue standard, according to the Senate's reso- lution. We hope the House will also ajont this resolution. We give the Senate's pro. ceedngs on this subject:
 Mr. Johnson, (Ark.,) moved to increase the rates of postage to five cents under three thou sand miles, and ten cents over three thousand miles.
 Mr. Seward, (N Y,) argued that the coun- trv was totally unprepared for any measure raising the rate of postage He thought, there- fore, that this was not the time to discuss it, He would also vote against 1t, as it imposes a discriminating postage on the ground of dis tance, which distinction has a tendency to ali enate the sections the east from the west.
 The motion was carried by 19 yeas to 15 nays.
 Yeas-Messrs. Benjamin. Bright. Brodericl, Brown. Clay, Clingman, Davis, Fitch, Gwin, Hunter, Johnson. (Ark.,) Johnson, (Tenn, ) Mallory, Pearce, Polk, Read, Sebastian Thomp- son. and Ynlee.
 Navs-Messrs Bigler, Chandler, Clark, Doo- little, Douglas. Fessenden, Foster, Hamlin, King, Pugh, Rice, Seward, Stuart, Wilson, and Wright
 Ahsent-29.
 MT. Pugh, (Ohio,) moved that the franking privilege of members of Congress be abolished from the 4th of March next. Agreed to by yeas B, nays 4
 Nays s-Messrs. Bayard, Cingman, Houston, and Reid
 Ahsent-Messrs Bates, Bell, Cameron, Crit tendpn, Dixon, Douglas, Durkee, Gwin, Ham, mond, Havne, Iverson, Jones, Kennedy, Mason, Pearce. Shields, Simmons, Slidell, Sumner, Thompson. (Ky,) and Trumbu!l
 Mr. Foster, (Conn.,) then moved to further amend that the franking privileges of the PreSi- dent and heads of department be likewise abo- lishsd Lost.
 Mr. Seward moved that all matter passing through the mails be prepaid, excepting news papers and periodicals, to regular subscribers ard foreign matter This had, virtually, the effect of abolshing all franking. Agreed, p to 20, hnt was subsequently lost on reconsidera- ton; wherenpon,
 Mir. Hamln, (Mo.,) moved that all laws con, ferring the franking privilege be repealed.-- Lost, 26 against 20
 Mr. Wilson, (Mass., , moved that from Marcl 4. 1859, the printing of all postage stamps blanks. warrants, etc, be given to the loves responsible bidder. which was adopted.
