DEATH OP THOMAS H. BENTON. The announcement lias reached us of the death of this venerable statesman, in Washington City, on Saturday last, from a cancerous affection of the bowels. Albeit he lived beyond the age at which men die with all their honors about them. tin.re are many records in the history of his life whi. h prompt us to keep his memory reverently, and to inscribe his name, not obscurely, among those that adorned the golden age of the Republic. He was not a great man, as we comprehend the word . but the larger portion of his career was a marked success, and, during his term of years, his name will be written upon our annals as often as any other, and in connection with measures bearing equally upon the great interests of the country. In later years, he was guilty of grave errors against his own section; but as he atoned for them in life, we can let them sleep with him in death. The subjoiut succinct account of Col. Benton's political life, we have extracted from the Charleston Mercury: "For nearly forty years Col. Benton has occupied a prominent position in the political affairs of the country. Presenting himself at Washington, as a Senator from Missouri, in 1819, previous to her admission as a State, he took his seat in October, 1820, and was continued for five successive terms, ending in 1851, thus completing a senatorial service of upwards of thirty years?a case without a parallel in the history of that body. He was subsequently elected to the House of Representatives from the St. Louis District, where he served but a single term. During his entire senatorial career he took a leading part in originating , and discussing measures of public policy, and particularly distinguished himself in the war upon the J Bank of the United States, and in sustaining the administration of Jackson and Van Buren. Subsequent to the defeat of Mr. Van Buren, in the Baltimore Convention of 1844, Mr. Benton has shown himself inimical to the South, and to Southern men, to whom he ascribed that rejection, and to his influence may be attributed the partial defection of Missouri upon the question of slavery. Since his retirement from Congress he has devoted himself to the compilation and publication of his Thirty Years in the Senate of the United States, and his Abridgement of the Debates in Congress. Of the latter work he had published six volumes, and was about finishing the seventh, bringing the J - ? ? *~ 1 O'fl mkan /!rvo V> nwnnef a/1 KIo ueoilivs UUWU IU IPUU, nutu uraiu #nwnu uu career. Col. Benton was a man of strong and imperious will, of intense egotism, of large ambition, and of unwearied indu?try. To the last named quality, much of his reputation may be ascribed, in the elaborate reports of his speeches for publication. It characterised him up to the closing moments of his life, as we learn from the Washington Union, that on the evening preceding his death he was propped up in bed by pillows, while he was dictating in whispers to one of his daughters, matter for the closing volume of the Debates in Congress. In all the relations of domestic life, Col. Benton was irreproachable. A fond and devoted husband, an affectionate parent, he was the head and heart of a family circle whose attractions have been the theme of praise to all who were admitted to the priviledge of intimacy. For the Yorkville Enquirer. THE CATAWBA INDIANS. Mr. Editor:?It will perhaps furnish matter of interest to many of your readers to publish the accompanying Report, submitted at the last session of the Legislature, by Edward Moore, Esq., the Chairman of the Committee composed of the York and Lancaster delegations, on the report of the Comptroller General in relation to the amount du? the Catawba Indians, under the treaty of 1840. At the time it was made, the publication of it in the Enquirer was, inadvertently, doubtless, omitted. The Committee was appointed at the previous session of the Legislature to ascertain the amount due the Indians, with a view to their removal from the State. The report very clearly points out the errors of the Comptroller, and is an act of substantial justice to these unfortunate children of the forest, that the State was bound by every consideration of honor and magnanimity to discharge, considering the fact that they have ever been firm friends of the whites. I know that whatever pertains to this doomed people will be of interest to the District. The Committee, to whom was referred the Report of the Comptroller General, showing the amount due the Catawba Indians under the treaty of 1840, made iu pursuance of the resolutions of this House passed in December, 1850, ask leave to submit the following report: They have examined the statement of the Comptroller, nnd find that he has not observed the mode of calculation indicated by the resolutions passed on this subject in 1849, which your Committee believe is the correct one. They are of opinion, therefore, that the result reported by him is incorrect, and they recommend that the report be not adapted. According to the resolutions alluded to, the Comptroller was required to state the amount due the Indians under the treaty, allowing interest at 8 per cent, on the amounts agreed to be paid, and giving credit for payment, as upon individual bonds. On referring to the statements made by the Comptrollers, both in 1853 and 185C, it will appear that they have not conformed to this rule of calculation. Instead of applying the payment made, first to the extinguishment of the interests due, and then deducting the balance of payment from the principal, as is the correct method of calculating "individual bonds," they have deducted the payments as they were made from the principal only, and left the interest due thereon, before the payments were made, untouched. This departure of the Comptrollers' from the mode of calculation prescribed, has led them to results clearly erroneous. Upon examining the Report of the Comptroller in 1853, your Committee have discovered that he committed a very considerable error in not charging the State with the sum of $2,500 00, as provided for in the treaty, in consequence of which omission his calculation then made has fallen far short of the true result. By the treaty of 1840, the State, in consideration of the Indians having ceded to her all their right and title to their lands, agreed to pay the sum of $5,000 00 for the purchase of lands for them in North Carolina, and $2,500 00 tor a suitable outfit for thei contemplated removal, and the sum of $1,500 00 annually for the period of nine years, making in all when paid, the sum of $21,000 00. The State having failed to appropriate the two first named sums for the purposes mentioned in the treaty, the Comptroller in his statement has very properly charged the State with the sum of $5,000 00 as due at the (late of the treaty, and your Committee can see no reason why the State should not have beencharged with the sum of $2,500 00 as also due the Indians at the same time. They suppose the omission a rose from the fact, that the treAty was incorrectly printed. In order to attain a correct statement of the amount due the Catawba Indians under the treaty of 1840, your Committee ask leave to report the following resolution: Resolved, That the Comptroller General make up a statement of the amount due the Catawba Indians under the treaty of 1840: that in making such statement, he charge the State with the sum of $2,500 00, as due the Indians at the date of the treaty, in addition to the amounts charged by the Comptroller in his statement made in 1853.? That in computinginterestandcrediting payments, he adopt the ordinary method of calculating "individual bonds," and that he conform in all other respects to the directions contained in the Resolution of this House passed in 184'J on this subject. And further, that he report said statement to the General Assembly. Correspondence of the Carolinian. Washington, April 8. The House have just taken another vote on the Kansas bill, and determined by a vote of 119 to 111 to adhere to their amendment. This does not, however, finally dispose of the question The Senate will ask for a committee of conference. It is almost a matter of course to accede to the request. The committee of conference will in all probabili ty be granted: but whether any thing will come of it is extremely doubtful. The Black Republican party now stand stultified before the country by the' action on this bill. With their arrogant assert1 is, that they would never consent to the admission of a slave State, yet resounding in these halls, they have nevertheless voted for the admission of Kansas, with or without slavery, as the people should determine. Nothing could more conspicuously exhibit their hypocrisy: to strike a blow at the Administration they do not hesitate to eat their own words, and swallow Kansas, Lecompton, slavery and all. Violence rules the hour here. There is a murder or robbery almost every night. To-day this violence broke out in a new place.

But the I Secretary, quick as lightning, pitched into his as{ snilant?knocked liirn uown, broke his arm, nenrj lv killed him, and took away his pi-no! sis ojilima ! */H'Hit. The thin s are sidly out of joint, ami the : car of progress seems ti be rushing ahead, on a j down <jr.t-h\ with fearful "elucity. . The President has determined to send for Gov. j Puwcii, of Kentucky, a in' Major Bun. McCullough, as commissioners of peece to Utah, to tender the olive branch to the Mo mons. This is a move in the right direction, fhe only regret is that these wise counsels did not prevail at an earlier day.? An expenditure of S50 000 or S100.000 at the be- . ginning, with the aid of a little tact, might have j accomplished our purposes in Utah. Now. after ! j an expenditure of millions, we nro compelled to j . try the peace policy, with which we should have I j beguu. But "better late than never" is a sound maxim, and holds in this case. The President is ^ a true patriot, and it is to be hoped his prudent and wise tender of conciliation may accomplish its ( purpose in Utah. The Deficiency bill was defeated in the House j this morning, but they are now debating a motion to reconsider. "Another emeufe in the South Carolina Col- ^ lege" meets your your eye in every paper. What a pity our young men pursue such a suicidal j course. It is a matter of deep regret to every 5 one who loves South Carolina. When the tlite of ^ our young men act thus, what are we to expect?

' ] CAROLINA. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. WHEREAS the last General Assembly of South Carolina, with a wise forecast and a iberal regard for the public welfare, based as it s so essentially on the good sense and virtue of ler citizens, enacted a law by which the Commissioners of Free Schools are authorized to establish i Normal School in the city of Charleston, to which he country districts will be entitled to send a cer; .in number of pupils. And whereas the enterprising Board of St. 'hilips and St. Michnel'sthavo now in operation, it their excellent "public school in the city, weekty exercises, which will serve to exemplify the beneits of such an establishment. Now, therefore, I recomracud to the several Joards of Commissioners of Free Schools in the State to appoint, nt tneir next quarterly meeting, n the fourth Monday in April, and depute one or Qore of their number to visit the said public cliool (St. Phillip's street) in Charleston, at heir convenience, so a3 to be able to report the esult of their observation at the quarterly meetng on the fourth Monday of October next. Also, I do hereby invite all the Teachers of Free Ichool-scholars throughout the State to come and ee for themselves how the said Public School is onducted, and what are the uses of a Normal cliool. As the expenses of such a visit might put it ut of the power of many to come, however much icy may desire it, I venture to say for the good f Charleston, that the houses of many residents rill be opened to any Teacher who shall be proiJed with a letter of introduction, or with the crtificates of the President and Secretary of the ioard of Commissioners at home. Failine in this, r in case a public house is preferred, it affords mo leasure to announce that Mrs. Kennedy, of the Lmerican Hotel, in King street, will on account ftbis Department, take care of any Teacher of a 'ice School who will deposit with her, his or her ertitlcates from the President nnd Secretary of he District Board of Commissioners for which he r she may be employed, from the first of June to he fifth inclusive. Furthermore, I appeal to the proper authorities f the railroads and other public conveyances, by leans of which they must reach the city, to intruct their several agents, upon the exhibition to tern of the said certificates, to pass all such Teachrs of Free Schools, and one Commissioner from ach Board, going down for the purpose herein 2t forth, for one fare, going and returning. I am assured that the Commissioners of Free chools of St. Phillips and St. Michael's will take leasure innffording every facility to the Teachers nd others, to observe and profit by the improved lethods. Visitors will only have to apply to C. . ME.MMINGER, Esq., Chairman, or to any lemher of the Board, at the Public School House, i St. Phillips street, to be admitted at the proper ours. A fixed time has been mentioned, from the first > the fifth June. Better for all parties, if it be t all convenient, to adopt this appointment; but there be impediments to prevent any Teachers om coming at that time, the Commissioners will ;ceive them at any other time in May or June, inluding Saturday as one of the days.
