GEN. EDiUND p. GAINES AND GEN.
WINFIELD SIoTT.--Judging from the tone
Of several arIcles which have recently aP-
peared in thspublic prints relative to the
disaDprobatia Of the conduct 0f General
Gaines BY thu government, and his reno
val from the dmmand Of the western divi.
sion, his defenders and friends have deter
mined to castillo odium, which they think
this proceeding merits, upon Gen. Winfield
Scot. They boldly charge him with hav
ing accomplished his removal by a resOr
to scandal and base intrigue-actuated t.
do so by long cherished hatred and BY :
spirit of envy towards the veteran hero o
Fort Erie. They have consequently turn
ed loose the flood gates Of abuse, and are
pouring it in unmeasured torrents upon the
devoted head Of the hero Of Lundy's Lane
The New Orleans Delta Of a recent date
contains lengthy communication in de-
fence Of tho official acts Of Gen. Gaines, in
which the writer has reviewed the past
course Of Gen. Scott, and dwelt upon the
various incidents 10 which he has alluded
with much force and bitterness. This will
lead to a reply from the friends of the lat
ter, and during the heated controversy we
may expect whatever Of good or bad which
either ofthe distinguished gentlemen ha'
committed, will be presented to the public
in highly cOlOred and exaggerated FORM
Many old "reminiscences will be revive'
which have been slumbering for years, ant
which otherwise would have remained hid
den from the public view, probably fOreV
ar.

05-It was rumorcd at New Orleans on the 10th
that the American Consul at Matamoras, J. P. Schat-
zell, lad been imprisoned by the Mexican authorities,
OF an accusation of having corresponded with Gen.
TAYLOR, the Commander Of the American forces at
Corpus Christi also, that a bearer of dispatches "a
Mexican) from Mr.. S. TO Gen. T., had been shot by
the Mexican authorities. If these reports be true, we
shall next expect to hear of a battle between the
American and Mexican armies on the Rio Grande.
The last news we have of Gen. Taylor was, that the
main body of his army had marched firm Corpus
Christi towards Brazos Santiago, and that the last
regiment, with Gen. Taylor and staff, left on the
morning Of March IL. The Galveston papers say
that much excitement prevails among the troops,
from a rumor that a large force of Mexican troops
were stationed at the Rio Grande and would oppose
the concentration of General Taylor's forces. The
spirit of war was a favorable feeling with the troops,
and hopes long deferred were supposed to be en- the
eve of realization. The squadron of transports are
to leave on the Goth inst. under the convoy of the
cutter Woodbury.. Captain Foster, and steamer Mon
mouth. A proclamation has been issued by General
Taylor TO the inhabitants in the vicinity Of the con-
t~emplated post, breathing a friendly, moderate spirit,
well calculated to allay the excited feelings of the
people. Corpus Christi has been virtually abandoned,
and those hangers-on that infest all armies are leaving
for the East as fast as possible. 1900 troops are
said to be on the Rio Grande.

THE MONTREAL BANK ROBBERY. Ready, the
individuLl concerned in the late Bank robbery, after
being allowed to turn Queens evidence against his
% respectable +" accomplices, Lamontagne, Handfeldt,
and Filburn, had been admitted to bail himself in the
sum of S4, 800 and two %sureties in g., 400 each. He
has since made his way to one of the Southern States,
and as it is not the custom to estreat recognizances
in Canada, it is pretty certain that in this case the
ends of Justice will be defeated, as the only chance of
the accessories being convicted hung upon the evidence
of Ready. Such is the s. JUSTICE awarded to Bank
thieves every where and it shows the advantage Of
being a respectable " rascal.

The Great Freshets.

The destruction of property in the eastern States
caused by the flood has been immense. Many bridges
of the most costly structure on the Susquehanna have
been carried away. Every bridge for 10 miles ON the
Oriskany have shared a like fate. Buildings, mills,
&c. &c. in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and other States, have been swept away. Buffalo,
N. Y. has been visited by a most fearful calamity
from the same cause. The ice in the creek gave way,
and came down like a perfect avalanche, carrying
every thing before it, Between the foot of Main
street and the Lake, there were some ID or 20 Canal
boats, every one of which had disappeared, no one
knew whittier, but, it is supposed, were iammed to-
gether between the steamboats,, and completely demo-
lisbed!
The steamers United States, Wisconsin, Cbatauque,
Frankfort, Indian Queen, and two or three others,
are greatly injured. The Chatauque had the upper
works entirely carried away and torn TO pieces.
Every steamboat lying in the Creek, was more or
less injured, except the Clinton and Indiana.
The Rocl.es,er broke TWO cables, and dashed down
the Greek with fearful velocity, carrying every thing
before her, s%taving a portion Of the dock, and now
lies partly under the dock. The injury done to this
steamer alone, it is SAID, will amount to several thou
sand dollars.
About 20 schooners were lying in the Greek, and
every one of them has been greatly damaged; some
completely demolished.
The loss of life on board these and the steamers,
must be great-and the damage is supposed to be
not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Dss THE FoRGEE.-This grand rascal, on a large
scale, lately arrested in Cincinnati for extensive for
geries, has been admitted to bail in the paltry sum of
@ffteen hundred dollars!@ 1t is already estab-
lished that he has cleared some $1,000 by his rascali-
ty. So the account Will stand thus;
Cleared by Forgery $1,000 90
Pays, because be is of the upper crust
of gentlemen thieves, and weH IF 1900 90
Clear gain $500 90
This is the way rich scoundrels and bank thieves get
punished o! that almighty dollar! A poor devil
who might steal a bacon ham to keep his children
from starving, would have been tried, convicted and
sent TO the penientiary for years; while the rch
rogucs go scot free with the plumber in their pockets.
And this is called justice! So it will always be while
Bank s~windling is legalized.

ASTI-SLAvERY IN KENrUCKT.-The editor of the
Christian Observer published at Georgetown, Ky,
seems to be following in the wake of Cassius M. Clay,
very zealously.
"Slavery, - he says, of whatever color, or form,
or phase, is a curse to this nation, and ever must
remain such, till the foul stain be washed out, not
in tears and blood, but by honest, charitable aud just
legislation" Again What so much as slavery
fans the flames of discord and party strife ! Twas
this that entered into the Texas annexation question
and embittered it. IT'S this too that is numbering
the OREGON question. = = = Nothing can be
more certain than that we must rid ourselves of this
incubus some day. Where then is the fanaticism,
the incendiarism of talking about and discussing the
question: The truth is, it is no longer a question,
but a fact, that slavery is destined to divide this
Republic, unless sooner or later abolished"
That's talking it out with considerable holiness,
don't you think so, brother DePuyl

NANTUCKET BANK RoBBERY.-1mmediately after
it was ascertained that the Hon. Barker Burnell, a
Wing Senator Of Massachusetts,. and cashier of the
Nantucket Bank, had absorbed all its capital, the pub
lie was assured that the bill-holders would suffer no
loss. This is always the fashionable way to speak
about the effect of bank r~obberies, when they are ere
Specially committed. But it turns out that an In
junction has been served on the bank, and it can do
no more cuisines at present. Its liabilities exceed
the capital about S134,O00. The Nantucket award
er" says it is unable to advise its readers of any visi-
bic improvement in the prospects Of the concern, but
it i, given to understand from a private source, that no.
thing has come up, as yet, to create a liability upon the
late cashier. If this be the case, the prospects of the
depositors and bill holders must be somewhat obscur-
ed. The grand result will be that the holders of the
bills will sell them for a song-the bank will buy
them up-and soon become as strong and respectable
as ever.

A DocToR KILLED BY HIS OWN MEDICINE The
Milledgeville, (Ga.) Recorder has the following
1t is with deep regret that we hear of the death of
DIR. Ambrose Barber, of Macon. The circumstances
of his decease acd poignancy to our regrets. We
understand, desiring to administer prussic acid to a
consumptive patient, ~(perhaps to overcome some re-
pugnance to its use,) the doctor himself took a portion
which, from some mistake in Its preparation, proved
too potent, and resulted, as we are informed, in his
death in a few hours.
We are under the impression that We should have
but few of the faculty left, were they obliged to sub
nit to a similar test of taking the remedies they
prescribe. We have often known them to refuse to
do so, and for the best of reasons-they do not like
to take poisons, how much soever they believe it neces-
sary to administer them. Nothing needs reforming
more than the practice of medicine.
How would it operate, to append the attending
physicians name to every obituary notice!

PRESENCE of MIND and REMARKABLE EscAPE-
The Hartford, CT, COurant states that recently, as
Mrs. Patterson of that city, was crossing the railroad
bridge, near Asylum street, the train of cars from
Springfield came down and nearly overlook her before
she noticed them, when, in attempting 10 get off the
track, at the south end of the bridge, she stumbled
and fell; and not having sufficient time to get upon
the outside of the track before the cars overlook her,
she had the remarkable presence of mind to arrange
herself between the rails, with her face and person
close TO the ground, and also to unite her bonnet string,
when the whole train passed Immediately over ier
without causing the least injury-except a horrible
fright.
