"A LITTLE MORE GRAPE CAPT. BRAGG
Col. Braxton Bragg, whose services OH
the field of Buena Vista. and in other Mex
lean battles, have won him so much re-
nown, was presen, at public dinner "a

made neat reply, in which he took ocs
casion to speak modestly of his own indi-

terms, the materials Of, the army, the rank

which their lenders carry off so exclusively

Ter, in abiding TO his speech says
I'm the course Of his remarks, Colonel
Bragg corrected the popular story, which
associated his name so much with the pos
litical campaign Of last summer, during
which he figured i'll so many pictures with
a scroll upon which was painted the cele-
braed order said to have been given him
|by Gen. Taylor at Buena Vista-''A lille
more grape, Captain Bragg" The Col.
stated that this was a fancy sketch alto
gether--no such occurrence took place on
the field Of battle, aud the first he heard of
this famous order was by newspapers hom

origin than this same inventive faculty Of
the press and It's espondents.'

The NATIONAL ERA AND Mr.. ScorT.
AS we expect, the Abolitionis.s are
rejoicing with great JOY over the fan.
Itastic tricks of our Presidential cand-
date. The National Era is well known as
the organ Of the Palfreys, the Hales, the
Giddngses, the Tucks, and their co-adjn-
tors in Congress. This most violent and
most able OF all The Abolition prints, cop
les our report of Mr.. Scots speech with
many warm COMMUNICATIONS upon the
speaker and the sentpont spoken. The
following paragraph concludes the article.
After deyoting some space TO yituperation
Of The Virginia Resolutions, very mach Xix e
that we listened TO for three days from
Robert E. Scott, the editor says:
"Alr Scott, of Fauquier, has distinguished him
self by his bold opposition 10 them. We copy a
brief report fhis speech made in the House OF
Delegates on Friday, the 18th instant. 1t will be
read with interest. The ntterance OF such senti-
ments in Virginia Legislature should shame man
ly Northern men"
