A STRANGE CASE. We learn that on
Monday last the body of male child was
discovered floating in the waters of Black Riv
er in Coventry, by person passing the bridge
One foot of the child was turned over his
back, and tied to its neck by garter. Nine
days previously to this time woman named
Stickney was seen going towards the bridge
with child, when it is supposed she threw
the child into the River. She was taken by
an officer in the East section of this town last
Tuesday night and carried back to Coventry,
where she will doubtless be examined She
has been wandering in and about Potion, G.
E. for some time past, was once married to a
man by the name of Stckney but since we are
informed to another man whose name we have
not heard.

WEEPING The Montpelier Patriot, which
supported the Texas Iniquity, publishes Gov
SHADES General Orders, calling upon the peo-
pie of Vermont to volunteer in the war for
Texas, agrecably TO the demand of the Presi-
dent, and surrounds it with mourning lines!
Just what you might expect. These fellows
who hurrahed for Texas and the consequent
war for it, have not pluck enough to .tght for
what they uoted for-and when invited to hight
they put on the garments of SORROW aye,
weep like babies! Gov. Chittenden, who was
a violent locofoco and one of your modern pa
tent democrats till his decease few years ago,
refused to call out the militia of Vermont at n
perilous time in the last war. The Patriot s
mourning habiliments reminded us OF thus aci
of its late political brother.
Well, for our part, we had no tears to shed
over this act of Gov. Slade, nor for any meas
ure designed to aid in the rescue of the gallant
Taylor and his Army. Opposed from the be-
ginning to taking upon the U. s. the war be-
tween Texas and Mexico, by the Annexation
of Texas, yet when Taylor and his Army
were found to be in the critical situation into
which they were ordered by the Government,
there was only one way to act, and that was to
hasten to his rescue. The Wings in Congress
were unanimously of this opinion, and acted
with promptness in raising the means to effect
this object But Taylor proved host in HIM
self-he came out ofhis situation VIGOROUSLY
to the Joy ofall his countrymen, with no occa'
sion to thank Congress, the administration OF
any body else. So much for the bravery and
skin of the gallant Kentucky Wing and his
brave band of officers and soldiers So mncA
for specimen of Wing patriotism and brave
ny.

From tie ~ Y, Trimme,
The Misunderstanding between
the President and Gen. Scott.


We shall not cucumber our columns with
the correspondence between Gen. SCOTT and
Secretary NANCY, with reference TO the pro-
posed departure of the former To the Rio
Gande TO take command of the Army oper-
ating against Mexico. We deeply regret that
such n correspondence has taken place, dec
tuing il by no means credituhle TO our Gov
crnment. The substance of the whole mat
ter is us follows;
|. Immediately on the passage ofthe War
hill Ivy Congress (approprlating SlOOOO0OO,
and callisg ont $4,000 Volunteers 10 fight
Mexco) Gen Scott was verba!ty informed 10y
the President aud Secretary Marcy that lac
was expected To proceed TO the frontier and
take command ofthe Army of Operations.
But no ,0r,tien order (slIch us is always given
to every officer dispatched on important SER
VICE. was given him 10 that effect, then or AT
any subsequent time.
Gen Scott wrote To Secretary Marcy, May,
Dist, setting forth his non receipt of orders
tout that he had been verbally told TO hold
himself in readiness for service on the from
tier---stutiug that he had been hard nt work
from the moment ofreceiving the Presidents
animation in making the preliminary arrange
incnts for the campaign indicated, with the
chiefs of the General Srnff,-to wit the AdIu-
tant General Quarter Master General, Com

which could only he done, at Washington.
Gen. :. proceeds to say;
~ am too old Il soldier, and have had too
much special experience not to feel the infinite
importance of securing myself against danger
IN ,CH, or pyeoondemnGt'on) in my rear, before
advancing upon the public enemy. Not an
advantageous, step can bc taken, in forward
march, without the confidence that all is well
behind. If insecure in that quarter, no Cen
,ral can put his whole heart and mind into
the work tn be done in front. lam, therefore,
not n little alarmed--nay, cripp'ed in my
encrgies-by the knowledge and the impa-
tience in question: aud beg TO say, i fear no
Other danger.
