Gen Scott being written to some months
since by gentleman of Pennsylvania, at the re-
quest of eight members of the State senate, ad-
dressing him as the undoubted Wing candidate
for the presidency, and requesting his opinions
on the various political question which agitated
the country, wrote the following characteristic
letter in reply
WAsnTNGToN, March 26, 1851.
SIR Il have received your letter (marked
CONFIDENTIAL in which, after committing the
error of supposing me to be sfully before the
country as the Wing candidate for the presi
dency," you proceed to interrogate me on many
points Of grave public interest.
Permit me to say, that considering we shall
probably only have Wing candidate for the
presidency through national convention; anc
that | cannot be its nominee except by tn,
force of the unsolci ed Partially ofarge masses
of my countrymen-
Considering, also, that if my character o.
principles be not already known, it would nov
be idle TO attempt to supply the deficient infor
nation by mere paper professions Of wisdom
and virtue, made for the OCCASION
And considering that if answer your que
ries must go on and answer others already be
fore me, as we'll as the long series that woulC
inevitably follow, to the disgust of the public
will beg permission to close this acknowl
edgement of your letter by subscribing myself
With great respect, your ob't serv't,

DISTANCE OF THE SUS.-Imagine railway
from here to the sun. How many hours is the
sun from usl Why, if we were to send baby
in an express train, going necessarily hundred
miles an hour, without making any stoppages
the baby would grow TO be boy--tbe boy
would grow to be man---the man would grow
old and die--without seeing the sun, for it is
distant more than a hundred years from us
But what is this compared to Neptune's dis
lance Had Adam and Eve started, by our
railway, at the creation, to 90 from Neptune to
the Sun, at the rate of fifty miles an hour, they
would not have been there yet Neptune is more
than six thousand years from the centre of cul

REMAINS OF THE MAsrApos.--The Sussex, N
j. Register given some further particulars, of the
exhumation of the bones OF this enormous animal
alluded to day OF two ago, which the editor
thinks was the Bshemoth Of sacred history, and
that they have not existed upon the earth since
the days of the Patriarchs. These bones were
discovered on the land Of Timothy II. Cook, Esq.
a short distance below GreenvIe, in Sussex co.
in sngularly accidental manner. Some work
men, in destroying boys, &c, by fire, placed them
around an old stump for that purpose, which
burning into the earth exposed one OF the bones
Since their discovery large numbers have visited

The Washington Southern Press says that
"some 10000 fugitive slaves remain in the North
In contempt of the Fugitive slave law" Well
we think they will be extremely likely to remain
there If the editor of that paper can convince
the people Of the South that fugitive slaves
1hen recovered, are north less than nafhing."
Well, the fugitives belong, we are told, prn
cipally TO the border States Of The South, which
are the most submissive. If, as they pretend
the Fugitive slave law is such mighty good
thing, as to be worth not only more than the gold
of California, but more than the word of South
