'Fhis important investigation. which has
been going on for five days, is likely To

PilloY, iill 10 raises him above all Greek,
above all Roman fame. Gen. Wprh also
has shown magnanimiiy IN Tins contest
which will crown him with Immortal ho-

muzEle, pointed directly al the head ofScoii,
which would bowed his brains clear 10 the
north polei but seeing the weakness and
imbePllilf Of Seoti, who was almost ready
10 get down upon his knees, and with tears
in his eyes ask his pardon. Worth, with
unparalleled magpanimiiy, refused 10 FIRE,
and absolutely Withdrew the charge from
the gun. saying TO the bys,anders, "The
Presiden, has given me All want, why
should sioop TO kill this poor devil of
Scou!' After Worth had thus generously
thrown away his powder, Scott, with his

Scott had bullied Duncan, but when he
found Duncan was prepared 10 defend
himself, with the most craven spirit he
coaxed him 10 let the matter drop and
hush il up. lie had also, in The mos,
shameful manner, bullied Gen. Pillow;
but when he found he had reused the lion
he did not dare 70 beard the lipn. As sppI
as the gallant Pillow. the high-souled Pill

appeared on the field Of combat, Scott
commenced rapid and ignominious re-
treat. But Gen. Pillow, actuaied by high
sense Of public duty. as well as j proper
regard CIR biz own honor, would moi allow
public sentiment 10 be so outraged with
impunity; he therefore pursuedthe COW ard

Was, he should either fight or die. For
Two pr three days Scott was fleeing for
his life, and making the most desperate
efforts to escape from the field Of battle;
but the gallant Pillow pursued him and
cut him of on every iack, and foied and
fioored him at every turn. The talent.
