GEN. SCOTT TAKEN FOR A BURGLAR.
Gen. Scott on his return TO Elizabeth
town, from his late victorious campaign IN
Mexico, was actually supposed to be
burglar A letter from Brooklyn, N. Y,
to lady in this vicinity, after speaking of
the arrival below New York Of the vessel
IN which Gen. Scott took passage, says:
"The guns at Fort Hamilton were all
well charged to salute him on entering the
harbor, but he forbade it. The people Of
Staten Island got wind Of his arrival and
tried 10 kindle bonfire, bu. the wind soon
pu, it out. A revenue barge took the
General TO Elizabe,hport, where he landed,
and was driven by a p" hardy son Of Erin"
to his own house, which unfortunately was
locked up-Mrs. Scott having gone to
New York to await the arrival Of her hus-
band. 1t being Sunday morning there was
hardly any one stirring at the hour tho
General arrived. He had on an old leath.
err cap and an overcoat. Finding the door
locked he went to one Of the windows and
tried to get in, but being large man he
could not squeeze through very easily.
Judge Edwards was out taking morning
walk, and seeing man getting in at the
window made up to him and was immedi.
ately recognized by the General, who was
taken to be burglar by the Judge"

TERRIBLE STORM ON THE Missouri RIVER
Boats In yesterday report that on the night of the
the country, and many of the towns bordering on
the Missouri river: The first town injured was
st. Joseph The wind commenced blowing from
the prairies, between ii and IL p M, and in less
than thirty minutes, increased to terrific gale.
Much injury was done to the town; several per-
sons were more or less hurt but no lives lost
The timber, farm houses, fences, &C., for miles in
width, were blown down, and everything on the
track OF the raging element laid waste. The court
house, In the town of ST. Joseph, was unroofed;
several other buildings sustained great damage;
and many small frame and log tenements were
blown entirely down. From thence the hurricane
crossed the Missouri, and ept nearly every thug
before 1t passed over the Platte country, doing
much dan age In It's course. The next town on
the river sustaining much injury was Lexington
here lis fury, II anything, was increased. Quite
among the number, the roof and entire gable
walls OF which were blown down. Several per-
sons were injured, but none seriously. The court
house and most OF the two and three story build
lngs were more or less damaged, and the entire
loss is estimated at over 900. The steamer
Sacramento, IN the river, five miles below, was
blown from her moorlngs, and dowl stream mile
or two. Fortunately, she struck a sand bar, and
was thus saved from destruction. Her boiler deck
and hurricane root, forward of the social hail. were
torn up, and her chimneys blown down; and Just
in the height OF the storm, fire was seen TO issue
from her, the sparks from the chimneys having
caught several mattresses In the berths occupied
by the officers of The boat Great consterna alton
prevailed and II was a scene more easy to cOnec-
luIe than describe. The storm lasted nearly two
hours. After 1t subsidized, the boat was brought to
rights, and no one was found missing During the
confusion on board, two passengers and the pilot
of the boat, Mr.. CoHsaul, fell into the forward
hatch, (the covering of which had been blown off,
and all were injured, Mr.. Consaul very severely,
and the other two slightly. The fire was soon got
under, the chimneys raised, and the decks re-
paired, and the boat proceeded on her trip. 1t is
not known to what extent the storm ragged in the
interior; but from its severity along the river, the
presumption Is, that vast amount Of property had
Deen destroyed.

CASE OF BIaAMY.-A correspondent in ChIcopee
furnishes us with the following history of VII
famous case OF bigamy that has Just been exposed
in that village :-On the 10th of April last, Charles
W. Follett and wife engaged as weavers in the EN-
ploy, OF the Dwight Co. at Chlcopee, and worked
until the 9h OF May, when Follett left for Boston,
or some place East on the sea shore, account OF
poor health leaving his wife still at work in the
mill. She received one or two letters from HIM
after he left, from different places, in the eastern
part OF the State. On going to the Office one day,
for letter, she found for him. took it out, aud
found 1t TO be a letter from another wife he had,
living In Otsego, New York. Overwhelmed with
grief, she wrote to her friends, aud brother came
for her, and carried her home, to Gardiner, Maine.
three months old presented herself at the office OF
the Dwight Co., and inquired for Charles w. Fol-
lett, saying that he was her husband Here she
received the first intlmation that he had another
wife, and her grief was truly pitiable. Her ac-
count OF herself and Follettis this. She became
acquainted nth him at the mills in New England
Village, and after three months acquaintance,
the mil together, as long as she was able, when
she left hun, on the 9th Of March, 1913, and went
to his mothers In OtsegO, New York, at which
place her child was born, In May. He continued
to write to her until he left Chlcopee. From CON-
par ng dates il seems he was married a second
time Just one month alter his wife left him. He
represented to his second wife that he was a WI
dover, and had letter, purporting TO be from his
mother, q wing an account OF his wife's death; he
also took this letter TO a Methodist meeting, fo
which Church he was member,) and requested
the prayers and sympa'hies OF his brethren 70,

Political Intelligence.

The wings are trying new system of tactics in
OhlO with the hope of thereby carrying the State
election, which comes off in October. A section
of the party having, as is we'll known disapproved
OF the nomination of General Taylor tor the Prcs-
dency, 1t is deemed lnadmisable by the wing lead
Presidency, for candidates for office, except to
nominate candidates for electors of President and
Vice President, known to be in favor of TAYLOR
and Fillmore. Hence the wing candidate for Go
vernon, Seabury Ford, keeps himself uncommltted
the subject of the Presidency, and all the efforts
OF the democrats to draw him out have thus far
proved unsuccessful. In two strong anti Taylor
districts, Messrs, Glddlnes and Campbell have
wing nominations are managed throughout the
State, Taylor men being nominated only in those
districts where the general popular II the wing
party. can be kept together until after the State
election in October, and wing triumph thereby
secured, 1t is presumed that the party may be, by
that time, or before November, recOnciled as to
the Presidential question.
GEORGIA.
A mass meeting Of the friends of Gen Taylor
is to take place at Atlanta, In the western part of
Georgia, on the 18th OF September The friends
OF Old Zack," says Georgian paper, "are ex-
pected In thousands from Georgia, South Carolina
Alabama, and Tennessee"
Messrs. TOombs and Stephens, wing members
OF Congress-, accepted the invitation of the demo-
cratic party to meet Messrs. Colqutt and John
son, at Forsyth, on Friday, LIST INST. in public
discussion. Ihese gentleman are regarded as the
ablest stump speakers OF their respective parties
In tn State. One of the latter is en- ex-senator
and the other at present member of the United
States Senate. There is much political excite
ment in Georgia between the respective friends OF
Cass and Taylor
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The movement at Albany, in consequence of
General Taylor's acceptance OF the nomination OF
the South Carolina democrats, appears to help
Taylor in Charleston, and meetings in favor OF
the Genera! for President continue to be neia
there, with increased zeal and energy
