ganrraL Scott and, the Administration.

The wing papers are sillifying and de.
enouncing the course that the Administra-
tion has taken, in regard to General scott.
They bring up General SCOTS important
military services, aud the brilliant victo-
ries which have been achieved by the
forces under bis command, in order to
raise him above the reach OF the law. In
our opinion the whig press have widely
mistaken the correct position in this mat.
Ter. Our laws should know no difference
between General Scott and the humblest
soldier that belongs to our army. What
ever successes may have crowned his eff
fnrts in the battle field; still when charges
are preferred against him, be is just as
much bound to obey the laws as the low
est private under his command.
The facts in the matter show, that the
course that the President and the Secreia-
ry OF War have pursued in the premises
are commendable and clear Of censure.
1t is stated that charges, which, il true.
demand that punishment must follow, have
been preferred against Gen. Scott by one
OF our most distinguished and meritoriOus
officers. The only proper way to settle
these difficulties aud TO deciGe the course
10 be pursued was by the institution Of a
Court Of luquiry, which has been ordered
by the Secretary of War. IL Gen. Scots
is tree from the charges preferred. it will
certainly do him no injury to pass through
an ordeal. which will impartially investi.
gate his proceedings. Why do the wings,
if he is unreasonable, manifest so much
fear Of an examination, and denouncs the
President for doing what the law points
"u' as his duty. a

The Canal Our Prospects.

Chief engineer Gooding, spurred up on
every hand 10y an outraged public. has
lately gone ahead with the canal quite
hriskly, and the work, which ought to
have heen finished by last November, will
probably be ready for boats some time in
June. Indeed, some reports have it that
1t will he ready by the opening Of lake
navigation. The hydraulic works at Chi
cage constructed for supplying the canal,
were started last week and competent
Judges say that they will answer the pur.
pose fully. The pumps, four in number,
are worked by Two beautifully finished en-
gines Of great power. The amount OF
water emptied at each revolution is i'm.
mense and will afford expeditiously an
abundant supply.
The great work is destined TO give a
most powerful impetus to the already un.
paraIleled prosperity of our glorious prai-
rie state, and be the pioneer of still fur.
Their and more useful works Of internal i'm.
provement. The Springfield and Mere.
dosia. the Springfield and Alton, the Chi
eago and Galena, and Central railroads
will soon follow, opening TO every portion
ofthe interior of the state cheap outlets to
market during the whole year, and con-
meeting us with all the great marts of trade
and commerce of the world. These are
all we want to mako our state the most
popuious and wealthy of any in the Union.
Our natural resources are TN surpassed
Our lands of the richest quality, and suit,

obstruct the plough, and the most nutri
tious grasses growing everywhere spon.

all purposes of husbanGry. Ola state like
this we have canse to be proud and to be
thankful that "our lives have fallen in such
pleasant places" Our population, indus.
lrious, enterprising and intelligent. will
not fail to avail themselves of all the i'm.
provements, arts, and appliances which
the wonderful ingenuity Of the age has
brought within their reach. Canals,r rail.
