After failing at the milling business, matte a wealthy marriage-ami was enabled therefore to devote his entire attention to his ail. TOM FSFNTOX settled in Sle. Genevieve as ia 1M0, remained there some two' years nd then re-moved to St. Louis. He made frequent visits to bis first home in Missouri, io urge his friends to renewed labor iti bis behalf, and to lash bis enemies as oly Benton could.

He bad many warm frieuds ami a few bitter opponents in this community. The people still refer with pride to his short residence in their midst. lli. LEWIS LINN. styled "the model Senator of Missouri." was an early resident of Ste.

Genevieve, and died in the town. Old inhabitants say that be was the finest looking man of his day, possessed of the highest intellectual gifts, and in conversation and polite manners, a perfect Chesterfield. 'He served iu the oited States Senate for ten years, and at the time of his death was being spoken of prominently for the Presidency. He was born in Kentucky, of old revolutionary mother, by two man-rages, gave to the I'niteel States Senate two sons and a grand-on Ir. Linn, Gen.

Podge, of Wisconsin, aud Col. Dodge of Iowa. Lr. Linn was elected to the Senate in to succeed Col. 'Alexander Buckner, who eKeil of cholera.

Although a strict Democrat the Whigs united in urging his apiioiutment saying "as a Democrat must be appointed give- the best Democrat in the Slate." He was a most zealous worker for Missouri interests. The idea of an IKON MOl'NTAIX in Missouri was in those days generally considered a myth: Dr. Linn had a lump of the ore. weighing two ton- taken to Paris, where it was pronounced superior to any iion ore in the wii ld. Afterwards the Senator visited Europe and persuaded ex peit miners to immigrate to Missouri and assist in the development of the mineral weaith of the State.

The senator died in llO. from overexertion as a physician during the cholera plague. His death wa- lamented not only iu Missouri but throughout all the States. Beuton, Jackson, Van Ituren. Clav, Buchanan, in fact all the leading statesmen of the day, attested to his worth.

Silas Wright pronounced him to have eea the "most popular man iu Congress." The State Legislators erected a monument to his memory in the graveyard at this place. HON. LEW IS V. 1MJGY, Mates Senator from Missouri, was orn in Ste. Genevieve.

His father was an old resident of the town, and a member of the Convention that diafted the State Constitution. OTHER NOTA11I.E-. John Scott, the delegate from Missouri to the National Congress, also lived in Ste. Genevieve. He was.

at that time, the leading lawyer of the State, aud a mast eccentric man.

Louii Ste. Genevieve. April 21, This old happy town, beaut if ully located on th Mississippi, some sixty miles below St. Louis, has a most interesting history, uot by that of any of the early settlement- in the State. Its tirst occupation dates bark as far as 17oo.

whiu a few French families located about three miles below the present site iu what is now known a- Le Grand the "big field," but of this old village nothing now The settlement proper was in ITS), the year of the irreal flood. This flood drowned out the old tow ii. well as iva-kaskia opposite, aud the inhabitants of these two villages removed to the site of the present town. Francis Valle was commandant of the post, and the Beauvais, Betieties, Govreau- and others were prominent among the- early ITONKEIIS weie honest iu purpoe, simple in manners and to I lie utniot o' that word. They stvl'd their new home ietise patronne de ear year additions were made to the popula tion, the new comers oeing representatives or wealthy families from the ictnage of Paris.

With them thev brought the higher tiv tlon. the inborn politeness, the cultivated and polished manner- and the chivalrous gallantry so peculiar to l'li-uihmen of the higher cla-sps, and these traits were transmitted from genet ation to generation, and still spa-rkle iu this itTF.T. IIAl'W OMMCMT and that. too. so brilliantly th.it even the least ciuioiis observer is soon made aware of the fact.

The grand characteristic- of this community could not be mi-conceived. Their dies- was rtmaikably plain, but under their simple. oil styie habits there we re arm and generous hearts. They had but little money. uuJ they needed but little.

They a-lwav-kept faith with the red mi and. having their couiidence aud esteem, drove a lively trade furs and pelts: these they -cut to Europe, receiving iu exchange ail the articles uecWd from abroad. STE. e.KNEVIEVE to-day ontains a population of two thou-and and almost all are descendant of old families, and rdi closely allied. The town to- dav is itist as it was fiftv vears ago for half a ccn'ury it has shown uo material in crease or ueiTiue.

and from its sleepy, contented condition it will never be awakened, unless the iron horse, soan to steam through the town, along the west bank of the river, from St. Louis southward, stirs up the circulation of the population and adds thereto new men of livelier blond. 1 1 LOT KNOIt AND IIION MOl'NTAIX are distant only some forty miles and the denizens ef the towu are satisfied that Ste. Genevieve is the natural shipping poiut for the quantities of iron unearthed at those points. A raiiroad from the mines to Ste.

Genevieve has long beeu iu contem plation, aud some day in the future may he built. Then the town will assume something of a commercial aspect. AT THIS DAY the town maintains the epuietness and order of a French village in the ancient days. The bouses with their large porches and immense have a quaint appearance, but they iadi cate comfort within eloors. Many of these are as old as the town.

The dress of the old people retains the elegant simplicity of former days, but the young people manifest an inclination and determina tion, to avail themselves of modern fashions GENERAL SOCIABILITY is marked on every side. The old folks daily assemble and talk over the events of days gone by about the year of the great waters and the year of the blow; how their ancestors gallantly proceeded to the re lief of St. Louis, when hostile Indiaas threatened that city. The visitor is taken to "Le Grand Champ," a tract of four thousand acres all under one fence and heldlin common certainly one of the most fertile tracts of land in the West but the waters of the river are fast swallotviug it up. THE CATHOLIC ORDERS have for a long time made this town one of Iheir main headquarters in the Mississippi Iu ls2 a convent was founded at Ste.

Genevieve, by a wealthy lady, a descend ant of the last European governor of Upper Louisiana. Attached to it is an academy of acknowledged excellence for the education of young ladies. The Sisters of St. Joseph have the management of the institution. This sisterhood was es tablished in but the sisters were driven from France by the Revolution.

In lOi they came to America and made their headquarters at Carondelet. The young lady pupils at tending this school, known as the Academy of St. Francis tie Sales, are from all the Southern States; St Louis has always had a larg representation. The religious order is mainly composed of ladies of American birth. They have three orphan asylums aad several sihools under their charge in St.

rCorrespondence of Uie St. Louis Ilisnatcti.l Barry, Clay County, April Have we another murder in the Republican office this week? That paper is making away with at a rapid rate. Shaniless subterfuge; utter unworthv the brain that conceived It. INo such- murder, a the one reported having occurred near Saiithville, took place there. No such man as Nixon lives in this county.

The whole thing is believed here, to be a piece of strategy coined in the Republican ollice for specific purposes. The object is two-fold. First, to injure the State administration and nest obtain notoriety. Desperate indeed must be the condition of a great paper wh forced to purchase the latter so cheap lv. Humiliating is the spectacle the expo nent (assumed) of the great State of resorting to sensation a sensirtiou conceived in malice aud brought forth in falsehood, to attain such end.

The Republican is mad, and there's no method in its madness.
