This is what we may call decidedly rough language. It cannot bo appropriated by Whigs or Americans, for no Whig or Amer- kan would be so stupid as to bunt office from this Administration.

The expenses of the Government during the Administration of General Pierce were $232,820,622, or more than all the expenses of the Government from its organisation for thirty years together, including the war with Great Britain in 1812. Thus, during a time of profound peace, the Democratic Presi dent Pierce spent more money in four years than was expended during the first thirty years of the Government, during a part of which time the country was engaged in a war with the most powerful nation of the earth.

In this account ! am denominated the challenging party and Mr. Clai corne the challenged, which is false. Here is a statement of the affair : V ' , On the 24th of July I insulted Mr. Claborne ; on the 26th he demanded by letter, dated 24th, an far,Tgy' a t rMusfaJto ?ye . wnereuponne jfwepuaouappoiniupiac8 Co lumbia, S.

Upon Ithe eve of my departure I was informed bv Mr. Claiborne's second that he (the second) had refus- f ne mi aavertisement torbia a detailed des ed to act in that capacity anv lonser. and that I ' eription of an estate so large, varied and valuable, nor Mr. Claiborne would leave bv said train for Dan- ville, Va' bis home. Whereupon I notified Mr. Claiborne thai I xnsidered the said challenge as null.' After his departure I received a note from him agreeing that his challenge was null, at the same time stating thai he was called from the Hill, but would renew the correspondence in a few days. I heard nothing more from Mr. Claiborne until the 18th of August, in a letter dated 14th August, Danville, Va., wherein, he renewed the challenge, appointing time 23d August, and place, Columbia, S. C. This he had no right to do, it be ing a prerogative never denied the challenged "party. I immediately answered his letter, accepting his challenge, and stating my terms, denying his right to appoint time and place, informing him that I would meet him in Montgomery, Ala., on 10th September, giving, as my reasons for appointing this time and place, that : I might have time to secure the services of a friend from New Orleans experienced in such matters, - as I did not wish, my former seconds ' being inexperienced College boys. to. meet an old and ex nerienced duelist. In the former challenge,' the seconds of both parties were " inexperienced College boys." and we were then on equal footing. I have heard . nothing farther from Mr. Claiborne regularly, but in your paper sawfthat he had been to Columbia waited for me on 23d August myself represented as the chal lenging party, and as cowardly tailing to meet my engagements, i now jearlessly submit the affair to the public to decide which party nas violated tne code or honor. .

A very carious incident occurred when the pay ing out commenced in mid-ocean. The splice had been made, and the cable was being lowered over the sterns of the vessels, when a little before it touched the water, a sea-gull, fatigued, no doubt, after a long flight, perched on it, and his claws get-, ting fast in the tar with which the cable was co&U ed, he was unable to extricate them, so that he was dragged down under the water and drowned. He made desperate efforts to save himself, but terno purpose, as he stuck fast and when he foundnim- self going down, his despairing screams sounded tar across the waters.' The strangeness of the oc currence, and the terrible agony of the poor bird, caused some sensation on board the vessels. A despatch from Washington says that the Amer ican Colonization Society has proposed to the gov ernment to take care of the captured Africans on their arrival at Liberia and subsist them one year for $50,000 : and, in the meantime, send them to school, and teach them how by industrial pursuits to support themselves after the expiration of that period. . There is every indication that the pro position will be accepted. The Secretary of the interior will forthwith authorize the purchase of necessary clothing and blankets to make them comfortable during the voyage. iSy- We learn that Prof. Guvot, of Princeton is now on the Black Mountains for the purpose of taking observations with a view to make a map of that section.
