EX-SENATOR BENToN.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times, writing on
the 9th ult., says;
COL Benton is about closing his long and g.
ventful career. He is almost the last of the old
veterans of the men who were in the heigt of
their glory during the days of Jackson, and who
then made the whole country ring with the echo
of their contending blows. He has been con-
fined to his room for the last few weeks. In the
pleasant weather of February he was often to be
seen riding slowly, upon his splendid black
horse, along the avenue, keeping near enough to
the sidewalk to enable him to return the cour-
teous salutations of the many friends he was
sure to meet. But he soon became too feeble
for this, and was scarcely ever out OF his cham
Der. Now he is confined to his bed almost en-
trely, suffering great deal of pain, but bearing
it with characteristic forttude and in spite OF it
all, working necessarily at what he styles his
,nagnum opus, the abridgement of the Congress
sional Debates He has completed the work
nearly to 1850, and says he only hopes to live
long enough to bring it downto the present time.
His familiarity with the more recent discussions
of Congress renders the labor comparatively
easy, and three or four months of comparative
health would enable him to bring it to close.
But it is very doubtful whether this will be
vouchsafed to him. He suffers from an internal
cancer, and it may end his life almost at any mo-
ment He is cheerful, resolute as ever, and es
pecially glad to see his friends. His indomita-
BILE courage is conspicuous in the incessant vigor
with which he continues to work. His review
of the bred Scott decision was written under
intense suffering, and in spite of pain he persist
ed in having every proof sheet ready for the
mail by which his publishers would expect it.

Stale ROnds.

The appropriations by the Legislature to in
ternal improvements, have had just the effect
upon State bonds which we predicted some
months ago. The price of the bonds in the New
York market has declined from $94 to sol. As
the public officers are prohibited from selling the
bonds, to raise money for any purpose, at less
than par, ($100,) there seems to be no present
prospect of rendering the appropriations availa-
BILE.
After the above paragraph was put in type we
received the Charlottesville Advocate of the I'd
inst, and our more knowing contemporary ex-
plains how the prohibition alluded to is svaded.
He states that Railroad President will engage
a broker to purchase from the Treasurer, say
$4,000 worth of State bonds at par value. The
broker pays in $4,000, and orders that the sum
be credited to the particular Railroad interested
IN the transaction. The President then gives
the broker draft on the Treasurer for the $780,
900 and takes the bonds, which are sold at the
best price that can be obtained for them. This
is called skilful fnanciering.

whereabouts Of Col. AlIsop.

It is stated authoritatively that Col. Thomas
Allsop, the Englishman suspected of completely
in the recent attempt upon the life of Napoleon,
and for whose apprehension rewards have been
offered by the French and English governments,
has been concealed in New York city. Five
English and three French detective policemen
were lately in New York in search OF him.
Their efforts to find out the whereabouts OF their
man were soon crowned with success, and an
attempt would have been made some time ago
to bring him before our tribunals, but for the
lack OF the necessary papers on which to lnstl
tute proceedings. 1t has been suggested that
these detectives had wild idea at one time OF
capturing the Colonel % ct arms, and taking
him off by some vessel without consulting the
General Government. This scheme, II ever en-
tertaiued, is now probably abandoned, and the
Colonel will be pounced upon by some legal pro
cess as soon as the proper arrangements are
made. Any attempt to kidnap him would Of
course be promptly resented by the U. States
He changed his residence to Brooklyn, but his
place of concealment was soon found out.
A letter addressed by Allsop to Bernard, q
prisoner on trial in London, has been published,
and proves that he knew and approved of the
plan to sssassinate Napoleon.
The above statement is TAKEN from the Journ-
al of Commerce, but the Evening Post denies
that there are officers Of the English or French
government in New York, designing to abduct
Allsop. The only English officer known to be
in New York, at present is one in pursuit of a
forger. The Post, after Justly claiming that
Allsop is guilty of no offence within the pur
view of the extradition treaty, adds:
=, H. Oh 0Qnn
with him. His wife, We are told, was formerly
a milliner, in Regent street, and Allsop, becom-
ing possessed of some means, tried his fortunes
on the stock exchange. He was soon CLEANED
outn there and went off as lame duck as ever
Emped out of William street. He has since been
a political agitator of Indifferent pretensions.-
His return to Europe is the last thing that Ell
Their the English or French governments will
busy themselves about.

CHANGE OF UNIFoRM.-We noticed several
days ago that The War Department was about
TO order changes of the, uniform of the Army
generally 1t now appears that such an order
has been issued, and itcontains full descrip.
tion of the new uniform decided upon. The cap
now worn is supplanted by felt hat with
brim 8 IA inches wide and crown 10 inches
high, bound with ribbed silk for officers, and
double stitched around the run for men. The
trimmings for general officers are as follows:-
Gold cord, with acorn shaped ends; the brim
of the hat Topped up on the right side and fast
ened with an eagle attached to the side of the
hat; three black ostrich feathers on the left
side; gold embroidered wreath in front, on
black velvet ground, epcircling the letters U. S.
in silver, old English characters
For other classificatons of officers and for the
privates there are similar trimmings, varying
slightly for each distinctive grade or class.
The change also extends to the pantaloons
and coat, but in respect to them it is confined
to the trimmings of the latter, and the stripe of
the former. Sibley's tent is also to be substitu'
ted for that now in use.-StGr.

Affairs i'm France

The London Times gives q graphic account of
the condition of France under the system of e.
pionnage lately adopted by Louis Napoleon. The
Emperor, says the Times, is striving to take the
whole of France into custody, and gloom is
thrown over the capital which seems not likely
to be dissipated. Not only are the comings and
goings of we'll known Democrats watched by
the police, and the assemblies of Communists
hunted out, but men of every rank, every phase
of character, every shade of political opinions,
are at the mercy of any army of Spies who pen
citrate every where and follow the individual in.
to the confidence of his family. The gay city of
Paris hardly knows itself. Families are hesta.
ting whom they shall visit and whom they shall
be visited by. Men consider whether they
ought to be seen walking with friend whom
they have known for years. There are profess
sional spies of every rank in life, from the well
dressed gentleman to the domestic servant. E.
ven waiting maids are bribed to report CONVEX
sations which they overhear in private families.
Every one has reason to fear that the man who
brushes his coat, or the woman who attends to
his children is in correspondence with the police.
No one knows who IRE watchers and who are
the watched.
The Times warns the Emperor Of the conse-
quences of pursuing the present system. 1t will
create the spirit it seeks to repress. Louis Ma.
poleou is undoubtedly standing on volcano,
and the explosion, which may occur at any mo-
uent, will overthrow his dynasty and involve
France and Europe in great disaster.

For the Spectator.
Deaf and Dumb Institute at Staunton.

Messrs Eaitors:-As have been noticing
particularly the manner in which business has
been transacted at the W. L. Asylum, the idea
occurred to me that it would be a decided ad-
vantage to the State to call upon the Directors
of the Deaf and Dumb Institute to say, whether
there has not been vast amount of money lay
ished upon "pets" by the Superintendent, dr.
Merrillat.) And furthermore, when the beef
contract was to be let out, a certain butchers
bill, (Which was much lower than the accepted
one) was rejected, upon the grounds suggested
by. DR.. Merrillst, that Mr.. Graham ought to have
the contract as he is blind. Now, appeal to
the Directors to say whether they ought to be
governed by such dictation. Should the above
prove to be true, do wonder if 1t would not
make our "unwise" Governor blush.
Il would be useless for me, "now," to men,
ton all that can be proved about the matter. as
a moro convenient time will present itself, when
we hear from the Directors on the subject in
question. A TAXPAYER.

Rank LEGISLATION.

The Legislature of Virginia has passed bill
recurring the banks to resume specie payments
on the 1st day of May next, under certain speci-
fed penalties 1t has also enacted law re-
curing the Richmond banks to redeem the notes
of their respective branches, at discount ofone-
fourth of one per cent, and to establish redeem
ing agencies in Baltimore. The banks not loca-
ted in Richmond are to establish agencies there
and in Baltimore, for the redemption of their
issues, at the same rate of discount. This law
takes effect in April, 1859. The Senate bill fol-
suppression of notes of less denomination than
$40 was rejected by the lower House, so that
the independent banks may continue to issue 6s,
