SPIRITED DEBATE occurred in the Senate
chamber yesterday, between Senators Bell and
johnson, OF Tennessee, wherein the former an
nounced his intention of not being governed by
the instructions Of his Legislature upon the
Kansas question in its present phase, and the
latter defended them, and enforced the right of
their author-the Legislature of Tennessee--to
require obedience to its will in such cases. Both
speeches were exceedingly able That of Mr..
johnson at once secured for him q very high
reputation as Senatorial debater Indeed.
he left on the minds of all who heard him the
impression that be has no superior in that con-
vocation of powerful orators in conversational
debate.

TNK DIFFICULTY BETWEEN SENATORS Will
son AND Gw1N.-It appears as anticipated, that
Senator Wilson took the same high ground, in
his reply to the challenge he received from Gwin,
arising ont of the colloquy in the Senate, on
Thursday night last, taat he did before, when
challenged by Preston S. Brooks, viz; that the
barbarous and unchristian code Of duelling was
entirely contrary to his convictions of right, but
that he should always defend himself when at
tackled. The challenge from 6win was borne By
Mr.. Fitch of Indiana, on Friday morning, and
merely asked for "a meeting outside the District
Mr.. Wilson replied, stating that Of course 1t was
a challenge, which he should PeremPt0Fily de-
cline accepting, for the reasons given in his reply
to Brooks (which he cited), to the effect that du-
cling was forbidden by the matured convictions
of his (Wilson's) whole life. Messrs Seward
Wade, and others, interested themselves to oTlng
about reconciliation, which no doubt has pre-
vailed ere this.
The following is a full and accurate account Of
the language used in the debate on Thursday
night, which gave rise to the challenge;
"Mr Wilson had made speech in reference
to the expenditures Of the Government OF Cali
fornia. Mr.. Gwin said, in reply, that he had
heard great deal Of demagoRueism in connec
ton with the expenditures IN California.
Mr.. Wilson asked If he intended to apply the
word demagogueism to him. Mr.. Gwin declined
to expain or reply. Mr.. Wilson said, The
Senator declines to answer. Very we'll. say
to him that demagogueism is better than thiey
ing. had rather be a demagogue than thief"
Mr. Gwin inquired If the Senator meant to apply
his language to him, or to the officers Of the rev
enue in California. Mr.. Wilson said that he had
no explanation to give the Senator from Caliior-
mia. Mr.. Gwin said, i" II the Senator means 20
apply that term to me, he is calumnistor and
coward"
The President called both to order, when Mr.
Wilson remarked that what the Senator from
California said did not change the record
It strikes us that not much was required to adj
just the whole matter pacidcaily

The Springfield Republican still continues to
make itself uncomfortable, because the Executive
Council does not appoint to or remove from Office,
in accordance with the wishes Of its editors. In
is issue of Saturday it expresses the opinion that
"the Council has further and most strikingly il
acter," by its action on the appointment Of a
Judge Of the new court in Berkshire County.
We cannot see the need or propriety Of so much
newspaper interference with the Executive de-
partment Of the State Government, and believe
it would be better if the "power in the four West
ern counties" did DOtsO often attempt the "spread
eagle" at the State House. 75 aros

DESTRUCTIVE FREsHET AT THE WEsT.-It
commenced raining in Lafayette, Indiana,
on Wednesday noon, and poured down al
most necessarily until Friday morning The
Wabash river rose with frightful rapidity,
and the inhabitants on the river bottoms
awoke in the morning to find their homes fill
ing with water, and were obliged to escape
in boats, by swimming, or horses
The Wea and Wild Cat creeks, two small
streams, rose IN few hours to raging floods.
The Toledo, Wabash, and Western Rail-
road, across the Wea Creek, was entirely
swept away, doing damage to the amount of
$4,000.
There are two more breaks west, and not
less than five culverts east, on the same road,
which are gone. There are besides these, 9TH
er serious breaks. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage to the Wabash and Erie Canal
At Walcott, the feeder for the level, four
miles east of the lock, and dam, and five
hundred feet OF the embankment, are gone.
The State Bridge is also gone, and there are
seven breaks in the canal
There are also several large breaks at Attica,
Delphi, Logansport, and Wabash. 1t will be
impossible to use the canal again this sum-
1ner.
June II, P. M.-The Wabash river is
still rising, and an immense quantity of saw
logs, rails, ETC., are sweeping past.
No trains or mails can leave for several
days.
Whole farms are under water, and large
quantity of grain slowed in barns will be a
total loss.
