ANECDOTE OF GEN. SCOTT.

We have had rema rkabe men in almost
every State whose saying and doings de-
serve 10 be remembered, and transmitted to
future times, which now only exist in the
memory Of their acquaintances. We pro-
pose TO furnish few anecdotes of Gene
raj Scott, who some twenty years ago, was
Governor of Kentucky.
Scott was soldier in the rcvoiatIon,-
and it was in that service, we suppose, that
he learned TO swear. This WAS bemish
10 his character; he always insisted on it
to all his friends that they must not mind
his swearing, for he meant no harm by 1t.
General Washington reposcd great con
Gdonce in Scot. When the fate of the
American army was supposed to depend on
making Il successful retreat from the en-
campment at Trenton, he gave Scott the
most dangerous aud important post, and
that was TO defend the bridge against the
enemy, until the main army should get OIL
Washington having stationed him with a
snall detachment. at the post OF danger,
marched of as if to Join the army, but he
went but few PAGES until he turned and
sat motionless on his horse. His face was
turned TO Scott and his men, the indication Of
gloomy forcbodings seeming to overshadow
his cOuntenace. He was probably thinking
how much depended on the prudence and
frmness Of Scott and his men for the
British army were now in sight and advan-
cling. Scott who had been perfectly silent
while Washington was present, when he
thought he was gone, turned TO his men
and said-WelI, boys, you know the old
boss has put us here to defend the brld &c;
Unjust DO done, let what will come. Now
want to to tell you one thing. You're all
in the habit of shooting too high. You
vast your powder and lead, have cursed
you for it n hundred times. Nowl tell you
what it is, nothing must be wasted; every
crack must count. For that reason, boys,
whenever you sec them fellows first begin
ming to put their feet uPcn this bridge do
you shin 'cm.' At this " Washington did
what he was seldom known to do during
the war-he burst into hearty laugh.
Scott looked around, and, TO his surprise,
saw the Con nander-in-C Chief sitting on his
horse they exchanged pleasing glance ,and
Washington FASTENED toj DIN the army. The
bridge was successfully defended, and the
American army preserved.

The Legislature is making large threats of re-
iecting Alabama's share of the Proceeds of the
Public Lands. We apprehend they will think
twice before they do it, however. As the Loco
Foco rulers of that S4te have involved the People
some Twelve TO Fifteen Millions of Dollars in debt
'y borrowing nsney to set up their beautiful State
Bank, and as some Six to Ten Millions of the cap-
tal so invested is notoriously swamped in loans to
jnsolvent borrowers, advise them pocket the
Land Proceeds quietly and use 1t in paying the in
crest on their debt. If they reject this whole
some advice and impose heavy and needless buy
then. of Taxes on their People, they will wake up
one of these mornings and find themselves over
board This would bo unpleasant oil round, as
ne Wings do not want Alabama.
n. B. This advice i, not intended for the LEGO
Focos Of our own State. We trust they will re-
iect New-Yorks share of the Land Proceeds. and
impose good round State Tax instead, TO demon
rate their consistency. Nothing SO safe for ON
honest party to stand square up TO its principles
But the .Bank-and- State Loco Foces of Alabama
IRE greener, and we should not like to see them
