From Vel VII Of Bentons Abrdgment Of the Debates Of
Congress-
The Rlnemen OF the West.


Mr.. Benton stopped moment to speak Of an
exploit toe little known to history. He said
that the British and indians to the number of
l.60o, appeared before st. Louis in the year
1850. Gen. George Rogers Clark was then up
on the American Bottom, with the conquerOrs
Vincennes and Kaskaskia. The French OF St.
Louis sent to invoke bis aid. He had but 400
men. and might have declined with honor. He
might have raid Our numbers are too few,
the river is too wide and rapid; you are stran-
gers, and live beyond the confines of my coun-
tryi yuu may be 10 cOllusion with the enemy to
draw me across the Mississippi aud to revenge
in Louisiana the defeat of your countrymen in
Illinois. But such was not the language of Gen.
eral Clark, nor of the 400 brave men that fol-
lowed his steps. He nor they knew not danger.
Knew it not May their spirits pardon me,
said Mr.. Benton, for applying to them such a
fourth -of-July expression. They did know dan

its company-and each could say, with Cesar !:

Twin lions whelped in one hour,
And the elder and moro terrible"
There were the rifemen of the West, and took
counsel, not from danger, but from honor and
courage They divided into two bodies, and
marched to the relief of ST. Louis. Two hun-
dred presented themselves opposite the town,
aud two hundred crossed the river below. At
the sight OF such bodncss, the brltlsn ara lndi-
ans, believing them to be the vanguard of

eighty OF the Inhabitants, aud leaving an I'M

SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF A SPRING.-On Sun
day morning last, Mr.. George Golden, who
resides on the Hollow Road, within the city
limits, was awakened at an early hour by the
sound of rushing water In getting up he was
astonshed to find that spring of water had
burst forth in the middle Of his yard, and was
rapidly oVerflowing the adjoining premises
As soon as assistance could be procured a
channel was dug for the reception of the water,
which soon carried it off to the neigboring
creek but not until the yards of Mr. Golden
and Mr. Carter had been flooded The spring
which made its appearance so suddenly is flow,

ture in the ground is as large as a mans limb,
and the water is COOL clear, and limpid. 1t

as hard pan," and in the vicinity there are
several springs of similar nature. The circum

Bay A rumor prevails in Washington that
the President intends very soon to receive
Senor META as Mexican Minister, and thus to
recognize the Government of JUAREz, by whom
he is accredited. This action, it is believed,
will have decided influence towards establish
ing JUAREz as President of the Mexican Re-
public. The idea that Spain intends to declare
and to prosecute war against Mexico is not
tolerated in Washington. Such war would
afford an opportunity to the fllibusters and
revolutionists who have designs relative to Cuba
to carry their plans into effect and it is not con.
Sidered probable that Spain, who must be fully
aware of this, would commit an act so suicidal

THE ILLINOIS sENAToRsHIP.


The question is still discussed in some of the
Illinois papers, whether Mr. DOUGLAS will be
elected to the Senate. The Louisville JOuraml
says it is claimed that the very few, less we
believe than half dozen, Buchanan Demo
Gratis, who have been elected to the Legisla-
ture, hold the balance of power, and it is al
legged by some, that, in obedience to the be-
hests of their masters at Washington, they will

Senator until after the election Of another Leg
iSlature in Illinois. We have very little doubt
that they will keep themselves uncommitted
for the present, and for some time to come
that they will in fact hold out for the best re-
ward they can get They will eventually con
clude to go either for or against DoUGLAs's re-
election accordingly as they can get the bet
ter terms from DoUGLAs or. BUCHANAN. We
hear whispers from high financial quarters that
poor DOUGLASS fiscal cable is about all payed
out-that in fact he had to get it spliced in
New York during the late Illinois canvass
However, the President hasn't much the ad-
vantage Of him in that matter for his is all

B9- Attorney-General BLACK has recently
given a decision in reference to the removal Of
the Capital of Kansas. The seat of Government
was fixed in 1855 at Lecompton, in accordance
with law which required it to be permanently
located before any appropriation by Congress
for public buildings could be made available,
and the buildings were erected there. In April
last, however, the Legislature passed law
changing the seat of Government to Minneola.
The Attorney-G eneral decides that this law is
void, and that the Lecompton must remain the
capital during the existence of the Territorial
Government

years of age, into the shed to drive out the
squirrels, while he took up position outside

Frightful CALAMITY,
TWO BOYS VAIL TO THE BOTTOM OF A WELL
ARE KILLED.

A shocking calamity occurred at Norwalk
yesterday noon, the particulars of which have
been furnished us by Mr. Rust, engineer on the
Cleveland and Toledo Railroad. A few weeks
since Mr.. Mckinley, machinist. and his two
sons, Charles and George, dug a we'll near
their house to the depth of fifty seven feet
The we'll was about eighteen inches in diameter
at the top and three feet ct the bottom
Yesterday they commenced erecting curb
around the we'll The windass which had been
used for drawing up dirt was still standing
over it. and by some means the bucket attach
ed to the windIass rope became unfastened
and fell 10 the bottom. One of the boys put
his feet in the iron hook at the end Of the rope
and went down to recover the bucket the other
holding the wndIass the while. When some
ten feet on his way down the boy slipped from
the rope and fell to the bottom of the WE'LL
Mr.. Mckinley, wild with horror, put his other
son upon the rope, and bade him go down and
save his brother The boy attempted to do So
but lost bis hold when some twelve feet down,
and fell to the bottom, as his brother had be-
fore him. A light was lowered into the well
to enable those above (there was large crowd
congregated) to see the unfortunate lads, but
the air was so foul that the light INSTANTLY
went ont.
A large number of men worked all yesterday
afternoon to recover the bodies of the boys
They were raised several times to within eight
or ten feet of the top, but the opening was SO
extremely small they could not be pulled out,
and fell violently back to the bottom. 1t was
proposed to dig the well ont to-day.
The boys were aged seventeen and fourteen
years respectively, and are described as smart
and worthy boys.
BY special private despatch from Norwalk
we learn that the bodies were recovered at
twelve o'clock last night. Physicians state
that the boys must have died from the foul air
in the well rather then from their fall. Mr.
Mckinley is nearly insane with grief. The
bodies had fallen and been pulled nearly up so
many times that they were terribly mutilated
when eventually recovered. C2ersLaRd CO.,

BROKE JAIL-On Friday night last, ANNA
MARIA VErANGRUBER, who had been confined
in the Jail of this county, since the autumn Of
1855, awaiting trial for the murder Of her huS-
band, made her escape. The manner in which
she made her exit from her cell shows that she
aided by some person from the outside. The
lock which secured the cell door was uncrewed
and taken of, and there being nothing further
to impede her progress, she was thus easily
enabled to pack her duds and decamp.
That the scheme was duly matured and
shrewdly conducted, is self-evdent. After
leaving the court house, two distinct tracks were
were traced across the public square (there
being light snow on the ground) to Main
street, where the trail was lost About a
quarter of mile from town, on the Dushore
road, was found where horse, attached to a
Wagon, had been hitched and fed during the
night, and it is fair to suppose that she was
conveyed in that vehicle to parts unknown.
Mrs. VEITANGNUBER is a German woman,
about thirty,seven years ofage-about 6Vef feet
eight inches tall-light hair and has rather an
intelligent countenance, and speaks the English
language but brokenly.
Mr. CRAFT, the Sheriff, being absent on the
night she made her escape, and not returning
home until Saturday evening, she had ample
time to get out of reach before any one went in
pursuit of her. Although the Sheriff has offer
ed a reward for her apprehension, and made
diligent search, no clue to her whereabouts
has yet been obtained -SuAiran COUNTY
