"The war, Che adds,j hao assumed most serious

uJDeoh Of Cen. Scotia report has been put
in circulation, on the authority of letter from
Rochester. N. Y, of the 4th of March thai Gen.
Scott had been accidentally killed by one Of his
own men. The Baltimore American OF the 10th
inst, says this r,port was confirmed by passengers
from Washington by the Rail Road. who stated
that official Intelligence OF his death had been re.
ceyee on the 9Th at the War Department We
believe this report altogether unfouDded. We have
an article before us from the cleveland Herald,
Of March 7, which states that Gen. Scott was in
that place on the 9th. which is some days after
his repsrted death. Our Washington papers are
silent on the subject. We hope il may prove un-
founded for we agree with the American tina, the
life Of this gallant officer is worth more to the U.
States, than the lives Of all the uaorous outlaws
whom be was sent TO control.
Since the above was in type, we learn that Gen
Scot, had reached Albany and was on his uay 10
New York.
I'lt appears from our exchange papers tina,
the Duel a, Washington was made free use of in
New Hampshire, TO essure the reelection of Ed.
ior Navy Agent-Governor Hill. The Patriot said
to be owned Mr.. Hid, has published, according 10
the Boston Atlas, scores Of stupendous ialsehoods
IN reference to this affair. The following are spe.
