The LOWER RAPIDs-MAJoR FLoYD's Re-
PoRr.-We have before US the report of
Major John G.. Floyd, the U. s. Agent for
the improve nent Of the rapids in the Miss
issippi river near this city. This report has
been recently transmitted to Congress by the
Secretary Of War. 80
From it we learn that the amount ;;remain-
Ing unexpended ard applicable to the inn
proyement" of the rapids is about $l75,O0O.
The amount heretofore expended thereon''
is about $l44, 849,10. This includes large
expenditures made in preparation and ma
chinery now on hand for the prosecution Of
the work, and number of yards Of rock ex-
cavation required to carry out the plan of
improvement is 81 ,905, which, gives a chan
mel 200 feet wide four feet deep in the water.
The amount shown to have been expended
in 1857 embraced an expenditure of about
sec, 900 tor machinery for the further pros
ecution of the work
Major Floyd thinks that the immediate
relief which the Improvement of the natural
channel affords to the navigation requires
that this plan should be prosecuted, no mat
ter what may be the NEST perfect plan that
could be adopted, for this channel is the one
now used, and is only Distracted in places,
and every portion of obstruction judiciously
removed is of Immediate benefit; ON the
contrary, the shore Improvement, which
woald occupy, under the most favorable cir>
cumstances, ten or twelve, years to complete,
and would be Of no use until it was compile
ted. -KeokuE Journal.

PLANS OF THE MoRMoSs.-Late intelligence
from the army brings US disclosure Of the
designs of Brigham Young, and shews us
the spirit which prevails in that little force
which the Administration has left so unsus-
tanned and uncared forina perilous condition:
A redeemed Mormon lady, who has sought
the protection of the army here, told me,
the other day, that Brigham Young threatens,
in case the President does not ssback out''
from the position he has taken in his mes
sage, that he will send his ssdestroying an
gels" on mission of incendiarism, to burn
St. Louis, Keokuk, Chicago, New York, and
even the capital of the United States. These
cities. and many others, are to be fred stimuli
taneously. And furthermore, his followers
in the States are to volunteer in the new
volunteer regiments to be raised this spring,
and are to come out here for the purpose Of
spying inside of our own camp, and melting
the soldiers to mutiny and in case Of :
battle, to desert our ranks at given signal,
and to take the side Of the enemy. This
hrayado is in perfect harmony with his SER
mons, and the pulpit spoutings Of Kimball.

Observation-Disclosures Patronage.
A friend in Southern Illinois. says the
Chicago Press, who has for-forty years or
more been identified with the Democratic
party, appends the following reflections to q
private business letter:

WILL have good effect in opening the eyes
Of the nation to the true character OF pros

bitter modification, which have no words
to express, that the Senate of the United
States should sanction such an outrage. 1t

natioI--a legislative crime which can admit
of no palliation whatever
"Relative to the result in this particular
case have no fear: Should the House OF
Representatives consummate the act, it must
remain for all practical purposes dead letter.
But the legislative record can never be blot
ted out and it is an evidence of the progress
of corruption which cannot fail to alarm
every rejecting mind, and should it not have
the effect of arousing the whole people to q

Last Words of Col. benton.

Last Words of Col. Benton.
The last words OF the departed Statesman
were in reply to question from his son in.
| law, as to how be felt-"comfortable and
content"
In his dying hours, Col. Benton had the
faithful attendance of his daughter, Mrs.
Carey Jones, who resided with him in Wash
ington. Another daughter. Mrs. Jucobs, OF
Kentucky, arrived to see him on Thursday
His two remaining children were absent
Mrs. Fremont having gone to California,
after parting with him month ago, not ap
pretending that he was in critical state
and Madame Boileau, being in Calcutta, the
wife of the French Consul General there.
Col Bentons will was opened to ascertain
if any wishes had been expressed by him
regarding his foneral. None were found. Il
was drawn in September, just before the
surgical operation, which involved the haz.
ard of death, was performed. His residence
at Washington is bequeathed to Mrs. Jones
and his library to Carey Jones, as literary
| legatee. The residue of the estate is dis.rib
uted among their children. The executors
are Messrs. William Carey Jones, John c.
Fremont and Richard Tay or Jacobs, sons
in-law, Montgomery Blair, and Phillips Lee,
brother-in.law of Mr.. Blair, as friends.

iniquity was resuscitated on Thursday, On a
motion of Mr.. English, of Indiana, for the
appointment Of Committee of Conference
to meet the Senate Committee and patch up
an adjustment. Previously, Mr.. Montgom-
cry, of Pa, had moved that the House insist
on its adherence to the Crittenden amend
ment, and on this motion had called the
previous question. The vote was taken on
the call for the previous question, and re
suited Yeas, 1903; nays, l07. The Speaker
then voted in the negative, making tie, and
thus defeating the call. This was the first
Lecompton triumph The vote was then
taken on Mr.. English's motion, and resulted
in another tie: Yeas, 1903; nays, l0S. The
Speaker then voted in the affirmative, and
carried the motion for the Conference. Mr.
Caruthers, of NO., was present and voted

ure, the conservative feeling of the State,
and to prepare the way for q liberal policy
upon all domestic subjects.
In the Presidential election Of November,
1855, Col. Benton supported Mr.. Buchanan
in opposition to his own son-in-law, Colonel
Fremont. The reason assigned by him
was a confidence that Mr.. Buchanan, if cleo
ted, would restore the principles of the
jackson Administration, and the apprehen-
sion that the success OF Col. Fremont would
engender sectional parties fatal to the per.
manence of the Union. He soon alter saw
occasion to change both opinions. and al
though in retirement, he zealously opposed
the Administration Of Buchanan, and incli-
ned to unite with the opposition that pre-
sented itself in the Republican party.
After his defeat in 1856, Col. Benton de-
voted his time again to literary pursuits. =
Even. before that time he had begun his
Thirty, Years Views of the working Of the
Government. This was completed and pub
lished in 1857. 1t is 2 retrospect of the
period during which he held seat in the
Senate Of the Unten States, and presents o
connected narrative of the times from AID.
ANS to Pierce, developing much of the Sc
cret history OF the men and politics OF that
epoch. No sooner was that off his hands
than he engaged in the still more laborious
task of ccndensing, revising and abridging
the debates Of Congress from the foundation
of the Government to the present time. In
this work, although at the advanced age OF
76, his daily labors were almost incredible,
and such as few men in the prime Of lite
could support.
With strong, industrious intellect, a
dominating character, and quick apprecia-
ton of men, Col. Benton has exercised O
prominent influence upon national affairs. -
In Missouri his power was at ore. time
boundless, and throughout the West he
moulded public opinion to his will for many
years. While adhering to strict party lines
he was able to effect almost everything he
attempted, and often standing forth alone
he drew his party with him against the pol
icy of Presidents and cabinets In his last
attempt of the kind, however, he failed, and
was forced to relinquish Office as a conse
quence; but this browning struggle was 9
testimony to his independence and sense o.
duty that will contribute no less to his fame
with posterity than the honors which he
received through party allegiance
Col. Benton's eonsort Ga daughter of Col
Mcdowell, of Va,.) died in 1854. His foul
surviving children, all daughters, are mar
ried. a
In the important matter of religion, Col
Benton was, if not member, a faithful at
tendant with his family at the New School
Washington. Among the people OF Wash
ington he was esteemed as citizen, and
beloved as a neighbor and friend.
