GEN. SCOTT.

The Telegraph has announced the publ
calOu of The correspondence between Gen
;ral Scott aud the War Department. Mr.
Polk, no doubt, has been much troubled by
the prominen Mt place Gen. Scout has in the
eyes of his countrymen, and he probably
considers him in the way for the future.
As we understand the points in this case
the first attempt of the Executive aud Secre-
tary of war was 10 place General Scott upon
the Rio Grande,to supsrsede General Tay lor
in the command of the regular army. Gen.
Scott declined to supersede Gen. Taylor,
regarding ii as unjust to that brave officer,
after The campaign he had made upon the
frontier, prior. during and subsequent 10 the
annexation of Texas. No officer had done
better, and it was equally unjust in the Ad-
ministraIion TO ask that the officer in com
lnand should be superseded, or to take the
command from him.
General Scott desired to command the vol
unteer forces authorized by Congress, aud
had permission SO 10 do, and was making his
preparations accordingly, when the reques'
was renewed 10 him to go upon the frontier
at once, at the head Of General Taylor's for
ces. He demonstrated. but at once the IDEA
flashed across the minds of his friends, that
there was an Interior design in this at
tempt to send him 10 the Rio Grande. Ii
was known that nothing could be done du
ring the the summer, because it would occupy
the summer mon hs TO concentrate the vol
unteers upon the frontiers. In the mean
time political clamor could be aised, thai
Scott was idle upon the frontier; more eff
cient orders could he given from Washing
ton for forwarding the volunteers than frOm
the banks of the Rio Grande.
At this precise moment appeared :he bill
for the appointment of two Major Generals.
1.-The rank held by Gen. Scot.) aud a bill
passed the House, authorizing one of the
two, with power to the President TO dis
change one after the war with Mexico, and
that one to haze no reference to the date Of has
commission. This was offered by MIR. Boy d
of Kentucky, and agreed TO by vote of 81
to s5,-every man Of the majority being
friend of the Administration.
Then came reduction of the rations TO
those not actually engaged in the war, and
this, another bow at Gen. Scott, was sanci-
toned by vote OF 81 TO 81. Mr.. Grover Of
New York, one of the'most rabid psrtlzans
Of the House, was the author ofthis prop
osrtien. 1t is hoped and believed that the
Senate will concur in neither of these amend
meuts, which are additions TO the bill as II
originally passed the Senate.-lN. Y. tx

THE BRAVE LITTLE YANKEE.

1t happened, in l776, that the garden OF
a widow, which lad between the A.neri-
can and British camps, in the neighbor-
hood of New York, was frequently robbed
at night. Her son, mere boy, and small

permission to find out and secure the thief,
in case he should return, concealed him
self with gun among the weeds. A strap

grenadiers, came, and having filled largr

into the American camp, where he was Sc

from the Municipal Gazette, edited by E
Merriam, who has specially noted the effects
oflightning for about 30 years.
In previous number he stated that in
1915 up 10 July 80, he had registered SO
deaths that he found reported in the public
prints. Aside from preventing suffering
from fear of lightning, does not this fact
show The importance of following Doctor
Franklin's advice by erecting more lightning
rods?
According to my experience, it matters
very littlc what the fashion of the rod is
The rule is, taat they will protect horizon
tally only twice the distance Of their height
above the building that they should be con-
linuous and terminate in water Or moist
earth. This rule will determine the number
of rods required for any building.
