GEN. SCOTT AND THE PRESIDENT
With Major Gen. Scott We have held no
communication Of any sort since the begin
ming Of the late troubles in the South. As
an officer Of the Army, who has done the
State some service, aud as an accomplished
gentleman, we knoy and respect him. We
regretted 10 hear Of his recall from the
command OF the frontier, and reIolced that
the war was over before his letter OF recall
reached him. Ii was with proportion.
ate regret that we have within two days
heard rumor Of the cause aud manner OF
his recall, which were Of nature discred-
liable TO the Executive. We have not CO.
pied or given currency 10 them, their
sirangeness having given character OF I'M
probability TO them. From the official pa
per Of yesterday, however, we learn that

In publishing hereto fore, the Boro'
Ordinance regulating Markets, the
words ''during market hours" should
have been added to the 5th section.
1t is now corrected.
While on this subject, we beg leave
to remind our citizens and all inter-
ested. that the Ordinance will very
soon take effect, and we hope that no
one may incur its penalties. A good
market in this town would be very
desirable convenience. In this re-
spect it has been an anomoly among
western towns. With a population
of over two thousand we have had no
regular markets, whereas, if sellers
and BUYERS were to meet at fixed times
and places, competition in the buyers
would create better prices for mar
keting. the cash would be paid and
much time and trouble saved to all.
