Mr. BENToN's LAST MoMENTs,-From the AL
bapy argus of Saturday, we copy the following
notice of Col, Benton's last moments:
Thus another of the race of patriots who fol-
lowed the revolutionary fathers and the founders
of the Constitution, and who firmly adheTing to
the traditions of craftsmanship, nobly- upheld
their work, has fallen. If the possession OF
large faculties, indomitable energies and high
purposes and the opportunities which enable
man to devote these qualities to his country and
to pcrpetuate their fruits in history, constitute
greatness, Thomas Hart Benton was indeed
great man.
The picture of his dying chamber is affecting,
yet characteristic. He chung TO his labors to
the last Deyoured by cancer, which was
gradually eating out his life and his strength, he
worked as long as he could write, then dictated
to an anenuensis; and two days before his death,
when he was unable to move, continued to
whisper to his daughter, Mrs. Jones, his dicta-
ton of the closing chapters, and his corrections
of the proof-sheets, which she repeated aloud to
her husband, who wrote down the words.
Through all his life student, Col. Benton
exhibited some of the faults of what are called
"self.made men" He loved to parade his
knowledge, and sometimes proposed to instruct
the world in what most men already knew. His
egotism was, however simple and ingenious,
and such as we believe very often characterizes
the men who have pursued literary or public
career, though perhaps oftener seen in this class
upon the European continent than under the
cold and conventional system of Anglo Saxon
civilization on either side OF the ocean.
Mingling with traits of childlike simplicity,
were an original strength and massiyeness of
character such as are the type of the chiefs of a
great primitive race. He might, perhaps, more
easily have risen above the position which he
held rs senator from his native State, then to
have retained it after thirty years possession.
Yet the latter was the nobler ambition. He
preferred the title of Pater Senatus to the rank
of President; and if he could have perpetuated
it, through his life, would have vindicated his
preference in the estimation of the wise. As it
was, the aspiring men of his State who would
have gladly pushed him forward, at last pressed
him aside. But his career was longer than that
of most of the statesmen of our own land and of
Europe, and not less influential for good, or less
promising of enduring fame. The nObest and
not least deserved tribute which history will
award him, will be that he was n patricia man
whose heart was inbued with the spirit of ma
tionality and whose soul and mind were devo-
ted to his country.

SENATOR BRIGHT AND 5000 ACRES OF LAND
The correspondent :of tho "Burlingtou Hawk.
vye' writing from the Land Office at Council
Bluffs, after speaking of the great rush for
land on the opening oftho Office, says:
During the second week after the office had
opened, an order was received from Mr. Com
missioner Hendricks, at Washington, to locate
six thousand (6,O0O) acres in the name of the
Hon. Jesse d. Bright, of Indiana. OF course
the order was complied with, out of regular of.
fee hours, and thus the Hon. Senator got a
nice slice of the public land at single haul,
while the rest of US had to take our turn ut the
mill as the wheel rolled round Wonder if
the peculiar position which Senator Bright
occupies towards the administration had any
thing TO do with this new piece of party favor

THE LEv1ATuAN.-we hsve seen accounts in
several papers to the effect that work had been
suspended on the great steamer. The editor of
the Portland (SIe) Advertiser corrects these sto-
ries as follows:
eve had an interview yesterday with gen
tleman who came passenger in the "Indian," at
this portland we are happy to hear him con-
tradict most emphatically the report published
in our paper of Tuesday, to the effect that the
work on the Leviathan had about stopped-that
but few were at work upon her-that there is
no machinery in her yet &c. &c.
aE"The gentleman informs us that, Just before
he left England he visited the monster steam
ship. That there are 100 men hard at work
upon her, that her machinery is already in, and
everything is being driven as fast as man can do
il. She is being fitted up in the most costly and
desirable manner. Capt. Harrison had strong
hopes of getting her ready for sea in July. This
is good news, and we are rejoiccd to be able to
record it from so direct source

WAsn1NaroN, Saturday, April 10th, 1853.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, April 10th, 1858.
In the House of Representatives, yesterday
the motion to reconsider the vote by which the
! Deficiency Bill was rejected, being taken up and
carried, the bill was finally passed by vote Of
10 to 81. At half past two O'Clock the death
of the Hon. Thomas II. Benton being informally
and Prematurely announced, the House mnc-
diately adjourned over until Monday. Imme-
diately after the adjournment before the mem
bers had left their seats, rap at the Clerks
desk arrested the attention of the House, when
note addressed by Col. Benton TO Senators
Houston and the Hon. Geo. w. Jones, of Tenn.
was read by the Clerk amid perfect silence and
intense interest The substance of the note was
request by the writer that in case of his death
here, notice should be taken of it in Con-
gress, such action being contrary to his feelings
and convictions long entertained. Col. Benton
expired this morning at his residence on G
Street, at 30 minutes past seven o'clock in full
possession of his mental faculties to the last
moment having kept at work on his Congress
Sional Debates up 10 Wednesday last. Like
lingering embers his remains gradually dissolved
TO ashes, with hardly perceptible change.
1t IS expected that the Pacific Railroad bill
will be the next principal subject of discussion
IN the Senate, and perhaps in the House, after
a disposition of its peuding business. Both
public sentiment and Congressional policy now
seem ready for the entertainment of this sub
Ject The selection of a route seems now to be
about the only thing to be agreed upon, and
this, fortunately, bids fair not to become par
tlZnn or sectional question. The Secretary of
War recommends the Southern route, for the /
reason that the grades are lower, the climate
milder, and the length Of desert shorter than On
any other route The majority of the Select |
Committee of the Senate have, however, report. 1
ed IN favor of a central route. A Northern route |
wall also be proposed from the head of Lake SUI
perior to Puget Sound. But the friends of this
route win propose bill. as they have hereto.
fore done, furnishing equal facilities for three
roads, leaving to the discretion of contractors /
the choice OF routes, it being considered that
their hpaneiering interests would lead them to-
the adoption of the most practicable route for
the first road.

A BANKER RETuRSED TO BILL POsrlNo.-The

A BANNER RETURNED To Bill POsrINo.-The
Cincinnati Enquirer has the following:
passing along the street yesterday, our at
tentiOn was suddenly drawn to scene not n lit
tie novel and interesting in it's character. In an
alley, with paste pot in hand, and roll of bills
on his arm whom should we meet but Wesley
Smead, late president of the Citizens Bank,
posting his own bills of property for sale, for
the purpose of paying off the remaining debts
of the bank. Needless of the wandering gaze of
the astonshed passer-by, he laid on the paste
and spread out Ithe bills with all the readiness
and facility of practical poster, taking care to
place them in the most conspicuous positions,
and above the reach of boys and ag-pickers.-
Forty-three years ago DIR. Smead was an appren-
tice in the Gazette establishment, and being the
youngest, the duty devolved upon him Of posting
up the show bills, &c At this late period of his
life, when overtaken by adversely, he is nobly
struggling "a rare sight, indeed, among bank
ers) to discharge all his obligations to his cred
itors."

OF all the charms dear woman wears,
Of all her many traps and snarcs,
For real effect there's nought compares
With a truly pretty bonnet
For when or wherever you chance to meet
One that is perfectly modest and neat,
You may depend tits proof complete
That tho head has more in than on it.
No matter whether she's pretty or not,
How much or how little money she's got,
Whether she lives in mansion or cot,
Iis fact, depend upon it;
The woman to make man happy thro' life,
TO make model mother and wife,
Is one who, scornng the mlliner strife,
Wears plain and tasteful bonnet
Now bonnet of genuine beauty and grace,
Worn on the head in its proper place,
Shadowing family the wearer's face,
Is thing for a song or sonnet -
But one of those gay and gaudy things,
Made up OF rainbows and butterfly wings,
A mixture OF flowers, ribbons and strings,
Is dreadful, depend upon it.
A vulgar mass of " fuss and feather"
AS little of everything thrown together,
As if by touch of windy weather,
A wretched conglomeration--
A sort of cup to catch the hair,
Leaving the head to ego it bare,'
A striking example of Nothing to Wear"
is this bonnet abomination.
1t makes woman look brazen and bold,
Assists her in catching nothing but cold,
Is bad on the young, absurd on the old,
And detorms what it ought to deck;
For look at her face, no bonnet is there,
See at the side it hangs by a hair, tf
View it behind, and you will declare
That the creature has broken her neck.
No matter where you may chance to be,
No matter how many women you see,
A pronscuous crowd or certain she,
You may fully depend upon it,
That gem of the very rarest kind, ,..
A thing most difficult to find
A pet for which we long have pined,
Is perfect "love of bonnet"
