TIE TOBACCO WAREHoUsE--In . re-
cent trip on one of our Louisville and
Evansville packets, we observed she
took from our own levee and at the
landings between here and Troy upwards
Of one hundred hogsheads Of tobacco for
the Louisville tobacco warehouses; and
this we were told was not an unusual
freight for this season of the year. The
tobacco sold in Louisville goes to the
lakes and the Eastern markets by canals
and railroads. 1t can be shipped from
this city to the same points for about the
same OF Tess freights. 1t is reproach
to us that tobacco from our own leYee
and from towns near US, should be taken
to Louisville for a market, when by q
little exertion, we could establish q
market Of orr own, that would eclipse

THE Promisin Y Dung Attorney"

The Vincennes Gazette retracts the sour
rilous imputations upon the character of a
promising young attorney" of Evansville,
which it gave currency to some weeks since,
and says "the story originated in a joke,
played off upon him by some of his waggish
friends. The story has travelled until it has
become exaggerated beyond all probability
Deep and lasting injury is done to the char
acter and future fortunes of young man by
the wanton aud thoughtless circulation OF
such reports. The editors Of the Gazette have
we should think-suffercd too scnsibly from
personal scandal circulated by tho reckless
conductor of press, whose chief weapon is
low, personal abusc-to indulge, themselves,
in like Offences towards others. They will
recollect "a memorable instance" in which
we were called upon to vindicate one of their
number, and in return, we ask them now to
make ample amends to our frierd whom they
have seriously injured.

| EThe violent thunder storm Of Satur.
day evening has deprived us Of our tels.
graphic dispatches for this mornings paper
Though the announcement Of the csath o.
Col. Benton was, perhaps premature by a few
hours, he he's, ere this, without doubt, closed
his earthly career, and another Of those emi-
nent statesmen, whose naines are associated
with the history of the last generation, and
who have for few years served us connect
ing link between the past and the present,
has taken his departure. One by one
each has yielded his spirit to Him who gave
it and gone to the realms eternal, to receive
the blessings of life Of duty well fulfilled.
Our grief for their loss is deepened by the
reflection that none remain worthy to assume
the honored mantles.
A premature announcement of Mr.. Ben
toms death was made in the House on Friday,
and the House votel Immediately to adjourn.
Before the members separated letter from
Col. Benton was read, written on Thursday
and addressed to ,Nessrs. Houston, and Jones
Tenn. saying that in the event ofhis death,
he expressly desired that no notice should be
taken of it, as no rule of either House will
justify such proceeding; besides, it is con-
trary to his convictions, expressed many
years age. -,
His disease was cancer of the bowels. He
suffered much pain and great prostration, be-
ing in tie last stages Of physical exhaustion.
yet his mind was clear, and although unable
to speak above whisper, DIP 70 Wednesday
last, he was debating to his daughter the last
chapters of his abridgment Of the Congress
sional Debates, which he had brought, down
to tho compromise measures of 1850; and
finally closed the work with his dying breath.
In the last chapter of the work lie bestows an
eloquent elogiurh upon tho character and
services of Mr.. Clay.
