The able and distinguished Benton is no . more, having departed thia Kfe at his residence in the City of Washington, on Saturday moraine last. He had been afflicted for some tone past with cancer of the bowels, which causeclhU d,ath Mr B. was by birth, and education, a North Carohman. He emigrated at an e4rly age to the far west, and was for more than thirtv vears con spicuous in the Halls of Congress able and learned debater. He was Gen. Jackson's firmest friend throughout his Administration, and ably defended him in his bold position 'which ho took relative to the United States Ba,k. It has al ways been a matter of regret on the part of Mr B's many friends that a man of Buh brilliuht tal- ents a"a wLo haii ndered somuc'j service to his country, while acting with the treat National Democratic party, should have strayed a wav from his old political paths, and acted in in independent but hostile position to it. Hut no doubt Mr B was sincere in this declension aud thougit he was do- ng right In the demise of such a man the whole country' sustains a serious loss. We said that he was born in North Carolina, and we believe we but utter the sentiments of every North Carolmimi, when we say that all of us felt proud that our State had giv en birth to so gifted a son. But ho ha performed the last act in the drama of life, and lef his native State as well as the whole country to mourn their loss. He was about 75 years of age. His funeral took place at his late residence in Washington on Monday afternoon. 'The President, Members of the Cabiuet, end members of the Senate and House of Ueprossenta tives were in attendance." The services were con ducted without ceremony of pageant of any sort, and immediately at their close the remains were removed to the Kailroad station preparatory to their transmission to St Liouis.

Amot.g other points made" by the Senator, he seeks to give a faithful account of southern society slaveliolders and non slave holders; and as I presume he conkl not testify from personal observation and knowledge, and as I suppose be preferred it, he introduces as reliable testimony extracts from a book enti tled "The Impending Crisis of the South," said to be written by a "Mr Helper, of North Carolina." Being informed as to this author, I am un willing that such testimony shall go upon the permanent legislative history of the country as coming from North-Carolina, without placing in the same trom the character ot the witness. It is due to North Carolina, it is due "to. the Senator from Massachusetts, it is due to the feenate- and the country, particularly the people of the non slaveholding States, to expose to public contempt the authority of a work whose position, whatever it is, probably greatly de pends upon his representing himself as "of Njurtli Carolina." I feel a becoming pride that the word of a North Carolinian is so generally con sidered reliable; and, therefore, tiie more im perative is the duty to mark emphatically, as I propose to do on this occasion, any one that hails from that .State who slanders her society and writes it in a book to deceive and delude others. The Senator from Massachusetts is a striking example of the dupes thus made by this catch-penny book ; and the delusion is so strong that, without inquiry as to the character of the witness, it is placed in permanent form as evidence from North Carolina as to the state W - - :( - j want, to u;sauuse me mina 01 u;e enaior from Massachusetts, and those who rad this book, as to the reliability of tiie authority on which he relies. Who, then, is this Mr Helper, "of North Carolina,. relied upon - in the Senate of the United States as evidence from the. South of the state of southern society? I speak from authority that cannot be doubted. Tlinton Rowan Heifer the author of the "Im pending Crisis," is a native of Davie county, North-Carolina. His first appearance in ac tive life was as a clerk of Afichael Brown, a merchant iu Salisbury, North Carolina. Mr Brown is an elder of the Presbyterian church and after Heifer removed to Salisbury he also joined the Presbyterian church, and, so far as was publicly known, conducted himself with propriety. -4fter living with Mr Brown several vears as clerk, it was understood at Salisbury that he formed a copartnership with Mr Coff man in the hook business, and Its ft for the North to buy in a stock of books. He did not return as expected, but shortly thereafter went to California, and there or shortly after his return wrote a book called "Land of Gold." He returned to Salisbury about 1854, where be re. rained sometime without any apparent business. In the summer of 185G, as is report ed and believed, he procured surety, for, and ottniued money. He, however, about that time left tor the North, where he now resides, never.. since having returned to North Carolina. Af ter leaving North Carolina he changed his name from Heifer to Helper; and it was dis closed Inst year that while a clerk for Mr Brown he pur'oincd from him three hundred dollars, and after an exposure by Mr Brown, Helper, mnkimr a merit of necessity, himself publicly confesses, in a hand bill which I have before me, this thieving on his part, and excuses it upon the ground that, he was enticed o the act bv some ntnbignous expression of a friend of hi that it was allowable for clerks so .o do; and t'f further excuse that it was on indiscre tion of youth, althonsrh, at the time, he was in fr.H stj-iloiyr :,, f',c P!-;-dvt'r::ia c'l'ii-'h, and , ns ho sav; himself, was spve:ite'i years of :ge. It is due to the Presbytervni church to sv that this ma'i is tci, now a ni"'nber of that church. Now. sir, when and why he altered ids nstme I know not, except he d'-fines Helper- one who helps himself from i he nurse? of others without their consent; and therefore concluded the chntitre of name appropriate to his ehsmcter. He is a dishonest, deanided, aud disgraced man, and nlthemoli much to he regretted a native ff the Rt.-ite, -et he ;s an apostate son, rnmed ir. f(U'tmie and '-.haraeter, and catering to a diseased -ippetite at the North, to ohtain a Miisera'de living. 'V slanders upon the land of his lti-th; and I deeply reirret tlmt the Senator from Massachusetts has ly a reference, so dir-u:fi.-d the crest ure as to render necess-irv this exposure. Such is Mr. Helper, of North Caro lina, author of the "Impending Crisis of the South," alias Mr. TTelfer, once of North Caro lina, l.nt who has hjft the land of his b:rth for the rc-od of the State. Now sir I would respectfully snsrgest. to the honorable Senator from Massachusetts to ap pend n- note to the edition of his s;cach, ri viu-; the triir; c-'iarater of lie anther o? tins Vook npoe wiiich he iias re'ied, so that, the readers of his spend) may not be' as he h i3 been, so nnwittintrly misled by authority so degraded and unreliable." CONGKES3. Friday, April J. The Senate is not iu session to-day. HOUSE. Mr Lovejoy, of Illinois, made an ineffeetna' effort to introduce a resolution calling on the Secretary of War to inform the House how many officers of the'army were absent from their duties, or at the seat of Government, and how many hold civil offices, by election or other wise. . Mr Branch, cf North Carolina, spoke with reference to a re-consideration ot the vote by which the D -uVeacy Appropriation bill was rejected. He hesitated not to declare that this monstrous expenditure of the army had almost readied a point to induce the entire country to rise and demand a reform, and he pointed out the way by which this could be effected lie believed as had been' heretofore declared by the House, in the form of a r solution, that Utah is now in a state of rebellion, and it is now nn jnst and too late to undertake to control the discretion nf the President as to the disposal of the troops. Mr J.
