Ma. EDITOR: That article in your
last issue from the iacile pen Of our
worthy f.fnd and fellow citizen,
was wholly uncalled for, as had
already apologized to DR.. Davies
friends for the appearance of his
(Benton's) name to the article re-
ferred to by him, and had taken
great pains to inform Mr.. Smith
that George was in beautiful state
of intoxication at the time of plac-
ing his signature thereto.
| at first refused to allow Mr.
Benton to sign the aforesaid article,
but afterward let him have his own
way, simply because | did not wish
to be annoyed with HIM, and not
because of any idea that his name
would give credenco or respectable.
Ity TO the communication.
Yours Respectfully,
RoB'T. DEAN.

When the Procession had arrived
at tho bottom of the elevated lawn,
on tho bank of the Potomac, where

towards the Mount and formed their
lincs-the Clergy, the Masonic
Brothers, and the citizens, descend
ed to the Vault, and the funeral
service Of the Church was perform
ed.-The firing was repeated from
tho veiiel in the river, aud the
sounds echoed from the woods and
hills around.
Three general discharges by the
iuiantry-the cavalry, and II piec-

baaks Of the Potomac back of the
Vault, paid the lait tribute to the
entombed Commander IN Chief of
the Armies of the United States and

Couriers had been dispatched in every
direction. and the hunters and trappers
had gathered into the camp, now located
on the other side of the Little Missouri.
There are about seventy men all told,
well armed and with plenty of provi
sions and ammunition. and they declare
that if the Indians undertake to put
their threats of arresting anyone. or if
they in any way modest them, there will
be Il fight. The Indians are on one side
of the Little Missouri and the hunters
on the other. Thus matters stand. The
river is SO high that the Indians have
not vcntured to cross, but they have had
very pleasant and profitable time dur
