ARRIVAL OF GENERAL ScorT!-The following
from the New York Courier d Enquirer, OF
the 22d, will be read with interest:
This great commander arrived yesterday
morning at his home, in the sequestered village
of Elizabe thtown, which for many years has
been his residence when not absent on duty
The brig ST. Petersburg, in which the Gene
raj was passenger, arrived on Saturday night
at the Quarantine. The General took boat
early Sunday morning, and proceeded to Eliza
bethport.
His suite, consisting of Captain Scott, Capt.
Williams, and Lieutenant Schuyler Hamilton.
Aides-de- Camp, and Dr. Tiper, Surgeon OF
the u. s. A; came on TO this city.
The opinion expressed by Gen. Scott is very
confident that the treaty of peace will be rati-
fed.
The General, il will be agreeable to the whole
nltion to learn, is in excellent health.
ELIzABErHTowN, Sunday Evening.
General Scott took us all by surprise this
morning at o'clock. The vessel in which he
came, anchored, II seems last evening after
good run of 10 days from Vera Cruz-off the
Quarantine. As soon as il was known, the
inha bitants of Staten Island manifested the ut
most desire that the General should land at
once, and great efforts were made to induce
him to do so; but he strenuously declined all
their pressing overtures-and DESTROYS first 10
set his feet upon the soil of New Jersey, he
passed the night on board-and this morning
was rowed up 10 the Point by Major Frazier
of the Revenue Service-an old soldier, who
volunteered for the occasion-in fine barge
manned By eight Oarsmen.
The General reached the Point unh ,ralded :,
and then taking the first vehicle he could OBJ
tain-an open one-horse wagon, driven BY an
honest, good tempered lrishman, IN his shirt
sleeves-he reached home. What triumphal
car for this second Cortezl
As soon as the news of his arrival spread,
movements were made for at least hosting the
flags and ringing the bells; but Gen. Scott ab
solutely forbade any such ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Sunday was observed in all its wanted still
ness and solemnity. The excellent and exem-
plary Rector OF the church, the Rev. Claiming
Moore, on his way TO church, called 10 see the
General, rho soon after followed him to church.
As the Generals tall and commanding figure
passed through the streets, hands were in
stinctively raised TO the hat, and the hearty
cheer could be read upon the halfopened lips,
and the enthusiasm legible on every face, was
with difficulty repressed--but il was repressed
By the eager and sdmiring throng that pressed
around him. A single hat swung in the air,
single hurra, would have fired the whole village,
and greetings. honest, hearty, loud and long,
would have greeted the honored soldier in his
home.
Better as ii was-more in consonance with
his character and wishes, more i'm keeping with
the habits and feelings of the orderly and reli-
gious people among whom hr lives aud whose
confidence and aft ction he shares.
But / cannot forego the mention of the scene
presented in church, when the beautiful thanks
giving of the Episcopal service for safe re-
turn from sea was read. Every auditor applied
it-every heart joined in it-and in the solemn
and audible Amen at its close, was declared
the heartfelt gratitude of.the whole congrega-
ton that their FRIEND their neighbor, the emil
r.nt soldier and defender of his country, had
t;en conducted in safety to the haven where
he would be.
The Sunday was kept holy.
But to-morrolr--to- mOrrow-the heart OF
the people piH find utterance. They will not
listen to the notion that the conqueror Of Mex
ico-the most accomplished commander Of the
age-the soldier who combines in so eminent
a degree, humanity to the conquered, and care
for the lives of his own soldiers, with the ut
most vigor in action and celebrity in operations
who never risked the life of one of his SOL
die-s on any merely personal calculation, and
who never forebore the hazard of his own life
when prompted by duty-the people. his neigh
bors, country men and friends, will not listen
to the notion that such man, returning from
the most brilliant military campaign known TO
any annsls-and hawked at by the mousing
owls of party, shall look upon himself as under
the cloud Of Executive displeasure, and there
fore withdraw himself from the just plaudits,
and affectionate sOicitude of his Countrymen.
The people are the sovereigns, and they will
sbsolve Gen. Scott from The ''displeasure" Of
Mr.. President Polk, who is nobody except as
the servant Of the people. The masters will
reward their seruont, and teech him little
brief authority accidentally confided TO him,
furnishes no warrant for such wrong and out
rage as WINFIELD ScoTT has been the object oil
at the hands Of James h. Polk and his misera-
BILE. malicious, cunning subordinate Secretary
Marcy.
But there will be no other demonstration
than that of popular gathering of friends and
Ieighbor< at the Court HOUSE. at about 3, p. Nj
when the corporate authorities of the Bo.
rough will welcome Gen. Scott TO his home
and after presenting him generally to the a.
sembly, the ceremony will end.
1t will be reception by friends and neigh
oors. OF man they love for his virtues as much
as they admire for his achievements, and to
whom THEY will do justice, though all the
world beside be unjust. C.. X.
