In - concluding he said tliat Robt. Armstrong was his neighbor and his' friend—one, of the bravest and most, magnanimous and freest hearted men it. was ever his fortune to know-. Mr. Benton remarked that the world knows in what manner this sword was wielded for the honor and benefit of the country, but the world has not known ; but few contemporaries know, and posterity will not know unless the inside of history is given, what difficulties had to be encountered' and surmounted before the privilte.6l usingAhis sword for the liberty of the country was obtained. They who. only , see the great and glorious exploits of men at the head of an army, and their mighty deeds, feel as if such men had been called at once into the service. It is sometimes ; ofttimes - not and in this case eminently not so. Not hay ing been selected by the wisdom ,of .the gov ernment, it depended on accidents and chance to enable Jackson to enter the military service, of the country. He (Mr. Ilenton) was General Jackson's ju nior aid, and 'therefore knew all about what he was saying. At the beginnint of the war Jackson was Major General on the Tennessee militia. His , friends, confiding in his great military talents and pure patriotism, proposed - , to the general government his appointment as Brigadier General of the army allotted to the West. He was not appointed, but to at tend to his farm. Again and again Jackson was passed by. It seemed as it the govern ment had effectually Closed the doors of - tnili '-tary service against him. Ho was no man to solicit (Alice, or coining to Washington for that purpose, but always ready to obey his coun try's call. In the course of' time, - however, Jackson . got command of troops, and after marching it considerable distance, an order ar rived to disband ; but this lie refused to do. Mr. Benton here entered into the particulars, regarding this inside history, in which he was . a prominent actor. The massacre at Fort Sims took place. General Jackson immediate ly called out his volunteers and Marched to the Creek nation ; and there coinmenced that se ries of victories which have added such lustre to the country. _lt, was, he insisted. its acci dents and chances that Jackson was carried forward. The Senate's resolution was then adonted and. on motion of Mr. Walbridge, 100,000 copies of the speeches in both Houses on the sword acceptatioft were on dered to-be...printed 'fl.

I have been no careless observer of the men of my time, who, controlled by events, or con trolling. them, have stood prominent among them and will occupy distinguished positions in'the annals of the age ; and circumstances belie extended.y opportunities of exatnination to the Uki, World..lls well as to the New: But I say, and _with a deep conviction of its truth, that.- never haye been brought into contact with a man who possessed inure native sagack tv. more profundity of intellect.' higher powers of Uhservati in, or greater probity of purpose, more ardor of patriotism, nor more firmness of resolution after he had surveyed his, position and occupied it, than the lamented :subject of this feeble tribute, not to him, but to truth. And I will add that during the process of de. termination upon important subjects, he was sometimes tslOW amu generally cautions and Ungithing, and he has more than once told me, noxious and' uneasy, not seldom passing the night Without sleep ; but he was calm in his mindunclinflexible in his %rill, when reilmtion had 'given place to decision.' The prevailing opinion that he was rash and hasty,in his con. elusions i 4 founded upon an erroneous impres sion-of his habits-of thought and action —upon . want.of discrimination between his conduct before and after his judgment had pronounced upon his course.

As the ice -struck against the heat, it formed such a mass that it rested on the rock beneath and formed a breakwater; and the more violent was the onset of the ice, the more strong and massive did it become. The boat lay, as it were, ender the lee of this bill of ice, though some of her length was still un protected. In this passive resistance to the assaults of the current and ice, the, boat lay about two hours, before help came. Meanwhile the pas sengers could not see that any movements for rescue were being Ilia di; on shore. They were too far off to see what was doing.. Prom the Lotikrille shore they were dis tant halla Mile, and on the Indiana shore there wore no inhabitants. During this time. high rewards were. ntThred On the Louisville side to any one who would attempt a re,cue. The clt•rl; of the Jacob Strader had a son in the stranded born. and offered a large price for his deliverance. The life-boat of the Strader was launched, and three hien came out in her, and took out the yim lb and two young women con nerted with the ntlicerS of the Strader. It took the boat an hour to get bark. In the course of another hour, some four or five boats, capable of containin each from lout to five persons, came out from ,either shore. Meanwhile - the women had hcrnme quite composed. Many - of them .behaved in a very exemplary way throntrbout the whole period.

The opinion prevails that no terms could he come to between Prussia and the Westein Powers. Prussia must be left to neutrality and its consequences. A Mayor Circumvented. The Mayor of Detroit determined, a few days since, to put a stop to the driving of fast horses through the principal streets of that city. So, in company with a posse of policemen. he walk • ed deliberately through the middle of Jefferson, avenue. a beautiful wide street, which is gen.- erally the course for trotters. Arrived at the end of his promerade the worthy Mayor was fatigued, and gladly accepted the invitation of a gentleman to take a seat in his cutter. No sooner was he seated than the horse broke into n 2.40 pace, and the conservator•of pnhlie morals found himself flying along at a speed quite destructive of anything like dignity. and entirely subversive ofii municipal discipline. The proprietor and_ driver of the sleigh made the most strenuous eftbrts to stop his horse, and pullet! upon the lines till his arms were lame, which everybody knows is the WilV to stop one of our American trotters, but the ani mal 'could not he induced to tarry. and dashed on. The other fast ones in the street. seeing the Mayor set the example, at once entered into the contest. and a merry_time.was the re sult. The owner of the horse has since ex pressed his extreme regret that his animal should have behaved so badly,. and threatens to sell him. while the Mayor has not since been seen promenading the avenue. compensated for their money by -L iii - c - Dt - S - . admirable lectures, but that, they also have ----------- ---- the sweet satisfaction of 'Knowing that they Escape from Prison and Death.

From the many conflicting statements in regard to the disaster, we gather the following: There were ninety three passengers on board, of whom thirty-five were Chinamen. Of 0 test the bOdies of twenty -two who were killed have been recovered. There were nineteen at the hospital on Satur day. who were terribly wounded. Some Of the sufferers have had their arms and legs blown entirely off The pilot. who was thrown several hundred feet in the air, escaped With b-it little iinjury. and also the cook and steward. These are the only officers of the boat who were sar ed. Catpain Davis. and Mr. Mcßride, of Wells, Fargo 1 Co.'s Express, are among the dead. The treasure belonging to Wells. Fargo &, Co. Was sunk. Mr. Keefer, of Adams & 'Co.'s Ex -press, was saved. The mangled corpses of ser .-era t Chinamen are lying on each side of the riv er—most of them at 1616. The boat is a to tal wreck. A • rope was ',procured, and the wreck has been hauled to the river side, abreast ofthe (has works. The aftercabin and the hult, is all that remains of her. Those passengers who were_ fortunate enough to be - aft in the cabin, providentially escaped uninjured. Capt. Davis was killed immediately. The Pilot. Mr. NV illiams,iwas thrown a considerable distance in the air, and fell in the river, within a few fret of the-Yolo shore : he was subsequent ly picked up, and will doubtless recover. His escape is certainly miraculous. The appear ance of the wounded. (and scarcely one esca ped,) was a soul sickening Sight. The China men and women groan(•d; and wailed in a most awful manner. The explosion was distinctly seen by many persons from the levee. rind a moment after its occurrence innumerable boats, and also the ferry-boat, running between Sac ramento and Washington, sped to the scene of the disaster. The bodies-were picked up, and a party of men proceeded to clear away the wreck for the - purpose of saving or recovering those remaining on board, if. any. In the meantime many bodies (some of them mutila ted in a shocking ma n tier, ) were recovered &on) among the fragments floating in the river. The number of missing is about thirty, it is said.
