The \. T. L&oder gsves the following account
OF the sos-to between Messrs. Clay and Cling
man:
"As some misstatements hare been made in
Senate Caucus, the following facts may as we'll
be stated: When tho Territorial resolutions
reported by Mr. Green were under discussion,
hr. Clay observed, in The course Of the debate,
that no Southern Senator would vote agaiust
them who either did not disbelere in the prin-
clpfes Of them, or who was not ufraid to express
tis consiciiona. Mr. Cliugman re,or,ed harsh
y to Mr. Clay, That is a lie,' to which the lat
ter responded with blow. Thereupon Mr.
C'inelnau knocked him drwn. Scrasors Teombs
and Dasis seized Mr. Clingman, aud while hold
ing him Mr.. Clay gave him black eye. These
are the fucts of the case.

been found wanting, either in disposition or in
tho manifestation Of tho SINE, to advance the
interests Of our whofcsals trade. Situated rs
is our city, she is made geographically, as will
remain for her merchants to make her COM
mercIalIy the wholesale mart Of the Northwest.
The tokens Of progress in this direction were
neser more encouraging than now, as evidenced
BY. tho growth both in the number aud the
standing Of cur business houses. The sstab-
lishmeut Of Addison Graves, No. rs Lake street.
is prominent both in its retai1 aud wholesale
departments, in the latter comprising rery many
goods not to be found ut nny other house in this
csty.
In the retail line the same has been widely ce1e-
brated among lady-shoppcrs in seasons past fur
ita extensive aud attractive stocks Of dress
trimmings aud cmbroideries, and the almost
limitless list of articles that come under or are
associated with this class Of goods. This pres
ent Spring. Mr. Graves has made his shelves
and counters to bear an even more desirable
stock than in past seasons, and secured in every
department superior assortment Of goods.
Added to his usual display Of trimmings he has
very full stock Of hosiery and gloves, and es-
pscIelfy in the line Of under garments for gen.
tlemen's and ladies' VICAR, which il complete In
every style aud variety Of article in this class,
and fills prominent place in his retail de-
partmcnt.
Out Of Mr.. Graves extensive and growing
rctail trade has very naturally arisen his whole.
sale department which occupies rear and dis
tinct portion Of his large. double store in Had.
ducks Block. Here, as NO have said, without
danger Of invidious comparison, he offers to
buyers at wholesale stock unlike auy other in
this market, and entirely worth the attention Of
all interested, as offered At prices which must
remove all temptation or necessity Of any buyer
going East for bills in this line.
One feature ia noticeable that throughout the
establishment has been adopted the "One
Price" system with plainly marked figures We
call attcution to Mr. Graves advertisement in
another column, but more especially to his fine
stock as seen at No IS Lake street.

SPEEDING THE WoRD.-We saw yesterday ut
the Michigan Central depot, three cases ct
French Bibles and Testaments sent out by the
steamers and railway of the Grand Trunk RuiI-
way of Canada, from religious charitable or
ganizatioa in Liverpool for gratultous circula-
tion among the French settlers in Father Chini-
guys kanlakee settlement in this State. They
were forwarded freight free the entire distance,
and went forward last night.
Fon P1EE's pEAk.-The rush has evidently
commenced for Eldorado. Within the rast
forty-eiglt hours over one hundred men have
left this city by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad to take the Hannibal and St,
Joseph route. These were in different parties,
ranging from four to a Dozen One party of
fifteen uas from Chcnango County, New York.
These mostly 60 out taking with them their
personal outfit, but intending to procure teams
and provisions a. St. Joseph. Their freight las
made three car loads. They contemplate being
from forty to tifty days on the road, and went
off in high spirits. Among them vera quite
number who we're in the Pixies Peak region last
season. but came back to winter in the States.
Success to them.

A STRANGE SroRY.-In q village near
Newark, England,> in an old matched
house, which has been occupied by the
same family for nearly three hundred
yeGTs, there lives an old man who has
nearly completed his seth year. Aperson
who had occasion to visit him the other
day, was not little surprised on hearing
the old gentleman, in course Of conversa-
tiOn, express his belief that he was not
only going to heaven, but had been there
ONO6 since his first introduction into this
world. From the account he gives of the
matter, It appears that when he was about
elsveR years OC age, he was in an appa-
7ently lifelcss state which he called a
trAnce-for the space Of nine days. and il
was during that time he thinks he was
permitted to behold the glories of heaven.
Fin parents fully believed him to be dead;
the passing bell was rung; his coffin was
ordered and made; and on the third day
his friends assembled for the purpose Of
following him TO the grave. The clergy
man Of the parish went to look at the sup
posed corpse before the coffin.lid was
screwed on, and finding it to be warm, he
at once expressed his opinion that the
child was not dead, and after ordering
the pOstpOnement Of the funeral, sent his
servant on horseback for doctor, who,
on arriving at the house, confirmed the
assertion Of the minister, and instructed
the boys mother 70 moisten the boys
lips with wine and water twice q day
She did SO; and Oh the seventh day he
showed signs Of life by moving-on the
eighth he could hear the conversation of
persons in the rOom-and on the ninth
day he was able to open his eyes and rise
from the supposed bed Of death. Since
that time his health has been delicate, but
he has continued to occupy the grazing
land adjoining his cottage, and has kept
COWS aftar the manner of his forefathers.
