We copy the following paragraphs from the W^’ashington Index of the 7th and 10th instant.— We may remark, in explanation of the first, that TV ise and Stanly had a violent personal altercation on the lloor of the House a few days since, Sta?iiy called Wise a bull-dog, and TFise retoited coward upon Stanly: Clear the Course.—VV*e understand that Mr. Wi se and Mr. Stanly had an accidental meeting on Sa t- urday last near the race course, which resulted in the foimer breaking his cane over the latter. We wero not present, and iheretjre cannot give particu lars. It is rumored that Jesse Miller, Esq., is to ^ive place to Recorder Williamson as tirst Auditor of the Treasury—That Mr. Burr of New York is to be the Recorder—and that the brother in law of Mr. Wise is to be an Auditor some where. Mr. W”ebster, it is said, goes in favor of the peo ple’s party of Rhode Island. If so, we lor the tirst time in our lives, approve of his conduct. Whig yeracilT/.-^When the Whigs first camo into power, their orators in Congress charged Van Buren \vith haying left the Government in debt forty millions of dollars. Their Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Forward, in a report to Congress on the subject, says the only debt Van Buren left was about four milVions in tuilstandmg 1 reasury >^otes—and part of the means was provided to re deem that. This is about as much truth as i? gen- erallv to be found in Whig charges;—onc-tcnih.

Prentiss, „ ^ firvayt How plitlftd and Mean.—The Federal papers of our State have been circulating a story, origina ting in the Asbvillc Mcffscnger, that when Mr. Hkn iiv ad.lrc-ssed the people of Buncombe, he drove from the assembly a number of ladies, by the use of language too obscene to even be admitted into the co- lums of the chastc hard eider oracles. The Editor of the Lincoln Republican says he is informed by Mr. Henry, as well as other highly respectable gemleinen who were present, that so far as they could see, no ladies were present during any portion of Mr, Henry’s address at Ashville.—-In fact, all who know Mr. Henrv, must believe the charge utterly false. It must be a desperate cause, indeed, that requires- the coinagcaiul circulation of such sto ries. Such seems to be the settled policy of onr op ponents, however-they who lay claim to ‘=all the decency aad morals” of the country. Since the ahovc was in type, we have h'-ard a highly rcspectahlo Whiir, and one high in tho confidence of his par ty, who was present during the whole ol I\Ir. llf’nry s speccli at Asheville, say positively that no ladies were present during the delivery of any portion of that address. Rhode The difficulties in Rhode Lland seem to be drau'ing to a focus. The President has ordered to Fort Adams at Newport, a large body of U. S. Troops, to assist the aristocracy in putting down the people in their efforts to throw off the charter of King Charles and adopt a Republican form of Government. In this, John 1 yler has shown himself to be a usurper—a tyrant, and any thing but a Virginia Republican. The people s Legislature met lately at Providence, organized, and installed their Governor inio office (Gov. Dorr.) After passing a few Resolutions, the body odjouned, to meet again in July. Since the arrival of the U. S. Troops in the State, the aristocracy have become eml)oldcned to arrest and imprison the Hon. Du tee J. Pearce, and other respectable gentlemen who have taken office under the election of the majority that established the new Constitution, and had at the latest dates, warrants out for Gov. Dorr. Such acts as these in a free country must producc blood shed. Co7i7iecticut.—The newly elected Legislature of Connecticut met at New Haven on the 5th instant. There having been no choice of Governor before the people, the Hon. Chaunccy F Cleveland, (Dem.) who received the highest popular vote in the late election, was chosen Governor, by a majori ty of 71 votes over Gov. Eslhcorth, Whig; W. S. Holahud was elected Lieut. Governor; Jabez L TT7ii/c, Jr., Treasurer; Noah A. Secreta ry, and Gideon Wells, Comptroller. All good and true Democrats. Thii settles the political redemp tion of Connecticut. H3=The incendiary Giddings, has been re-elect ed to Crongress by his constituents and taken his seat in the House. His majority over his opponent was 3.648 ’»//-. Van Buren at Nashville, Tcmi. — Thfi re ception given to Ex-Presidcnt Van Buren on h:s recent vi^it to Nashville, 'i'enn., by men of al! par ties, must have been gratifying to him m a high deTree. He arrived at the Hermitage on the 2Gth O April, and on the 23th, came to Nashville in com pany u'ith Gen. Jackson and a number of other distinguished gentlemen. The Union says: Five or six miles distant they were met by llie committee and a large concouise of citizens in car riages and on horseback. The procession grew larger and larger as they approached the city, and upon the other side of College Hill the Nashville Blues under the command of Capt. Hickman, join ed the escort. As the procession came over the hill ..•ay „ have never witnessed a hand.'?o:r.cr compliment to public and private worth. It was, indeed, well done ; and, as the Whig says, respectfully, decent ly and in order.” The guests took rooms at the Nashville Inn, which under the d’rrection of the committee, had been prepared for their accommodation, and there received the safatations of a large concourse that gathered to the spot. Gen. Jackson remained there a few houis, constantly thronged with the inuliitude anxious to shake the veteran’s hand once more ; af ter which he repaired to the house of Gen. Arm strong for more quiet and appropriate apartments. On Friday about eleven o’clock, Mr. Van Buren , visited the Nashville Female Academy, accompa nied by the venerable Mr. Crutcher, the farther of the institution, and by Col. !VIcGavock autl Doct. Esselman. Ills reception is represented to have I been deeply interesting. He found the pathway 1 from the outergate to the hall-door strew’n with flowers of many varieties. He was met at the door by the Rev. Mr. Elliott and other teachers of the institution ; and as he rec( ived a cordial wclcomo, the young ladies with large bouquets in their hands arrayed on cither side of the aisle that leads to the rear where the trustees were seated, at once made a most magnificent carpet of flowers upon w Inch he advanced and was introduced to the trustees. The classcs from first to last wore then presented, when Miss Smith pronounced a neat sahitatory ad dress and placed a crown of flowers upon his head, which he look off and aflixed to his left breast. The liule ladies thronged around him, literally loading him with the choicest flowers of the sea son, a? intimate, apparently, as if they had always known him personally. A scene like this—about two hundred j'oung girls dressed like so many May-queens, all life and gaiety—is best appreciat ed by those who witnessed it. Gen. Jackson had been expected, and each little student had to ask why he was not present. They were infortned tint the feeble state of his health prevented his attendance, but that he would be hap py to see them at Gen. Armstrong’s in the after noon. Gladly receiving tho invitation they called on the old hero at the time appointed, covered him with flow^ers and procured so many of his snow’- white locks as to give his head the appearance of having just passed from the hands of the barber. They greeted him with a kiss he gave them **a blessing and a prayer. ’ On that day the guests with a few friends dined with the family of jrooi: Campbell of this place. After dinner, as they walked in the pleasure grounds before the house, the Harrison Guards, a military corps, then on parade, ascended the hill, halted in front W the gate, and gave them a handsome salute' which the Ex-President appropriately acknowledg ed. On Saturday at noon they nturned to the Herm itage wMth Gen. Jackson, w’here they purpose to remain until Friday, when they will proceed to Columbia, in obedience to an invitation extended to Mr Van B ir'’2 b’* citiz-^ns of »hat (o serve until the next annvial mee ting of the Society in October next; whereupon, Doct.
