Last Hours of Benton.
W,surxcrox Cry April 10.

WASHINGTON CIry, Aprll ~.
Col. Benton's spirit took its flight
gently and TRANQUILITY this morning at
about thirty minutes past seven o'clock.
He was conscious and calm. He was
76 years and 81 days old when he
died. Mr.. Bcnton's death was charac-
tcristic. Courage, cccentricity, hui
NOR, attachment to friends and to
principles, and, above all, egotlsm,
marked his last moments, as they had
his whole life. At the time his death
was prematurely announced to the
House, he was in bed, supported by
pillows, inditing the closing lines OF
his last work, the Arrangement of De-
bates. Among the incidents of his
last hours was visit from the Presi.
dent, who had long conversation
with the dying statesman. The inter
view must have been deeply impress
Sivc and affecting.
One Of the latest acts Of Mr.. Benton
was to do justice to Henry Clay; and
to correct several expressions towards
him he said, upon the whole, he was
pure patriot, and nobly contcndcd
against nulifiers and disunionists to
maintain the Uuion and give peace to
the country and security to liberty
He congratulated leading Republicans
that they We're about to finish the great
work which Mr. Clay had begun, and
that they would soon have their feet
an thn nnclc IF tho ia rtinn
In the course of the night, before
his death, Mr.. Benton said to DIR. Hall
the attending physician, doctor, |
am dying, but | an not afraid to die.
| will die like Jesus Christ and Socra
tcs" Some time afterwards he .jestcd
about the Styx and the boatmar
Charon, and asked the Doctor why
some one had not thought of a bridge
over the stream Of fates-what tolls
would be collected and what dividends
declared from such a work, he said.

FLOOD ON THE MISSISSIPPI --Frightful
consequences are likely to ensue
along the Lower Mississippi, which is
now higher in some places than ever
before known. By accession of com
bined floods now coming from the up
per rivers, the Mississippi is rising
from st. Paul down. The Missouri
and Illinois are both high and rising,
all the tributaries are at food height.
The high water is occasioned by heavy
rains, exteding throughout the West
ern and Northwestern country, not
the usual spring mountain rise. Should
that follow before the present food
subsidies, the whole country will
doubtless be inundated.
