ARRIVAL OF GEN. SCoTT.-The brigSt. Peters
burgh arrived this forenoon at the Narrcws,
from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 4th
inst. Gen. Scott and some members of his
staff were passengers. Our Council and citi-
zens have prepared glorious reception for the
war worn hero, who carried the scars of 1912
so gloriously into the unexampled campaign of
Mexico.
His New Jersey friends deferring to his wish
to have no ostentatious display, have had a
steamboat in readiness to convey him immedi-
ately to Elizabethtown where ehis family are
awaiting his return. At the same time com
mlttees from our city are in attendance, urging
him to visit u.s. As write lam unable to
state what his movements will be, but | am
inclined to believe that he has proceeded di-
rectly TO New Jersey.
