A Lef, Handed Compliment.

Prentice, Of the Louisville Journal closes an article
in defence of the high military fame of General Scott
thus:
90 We think that Winfield Scott has done nothing 10
forfeit the lofty respect and gratitude which military
services like his would fitted inspire in the heart
o every genuine patriot We do not look for him be
In The way of any asprant to the Presidency"
Whether this far-seeng Wing editor means that Scott
will not be in the way of Fillmore for the nomination as
an asPrant for the Presidency, whether he will be
in the way Of the Democratic candidate after he is
mated, we unable to determine. But he certainly
that the hero Of an hundred battles has no
chance for the Presidency Prentice is able and can
did man, and does not wish deceive his readers

Kossuth Offended.

The Newark Daily Advertiser has published a letter.
dated Marsees stating that Kossuth had addressed

would proceed by private conveyance the u States.
The Of the letter the Advertiser thinks there
just for such eonduct the part OF KoSsuih,
and doubts If ever he intended visiting America.
Another letter, dated Paris gives il from Mr. Rves,
Minister that Kossuth had left the ship Gibralter
having taken offence the officers of the Mississippi
who did wish him do anything Marseillrs that
would compromise the peace of nation with France.
Another letter has this explanation:
''Kossuh, in his letter the Mayor Of Southampton,
explains the matter differently and implies that be left

He has left national ressl, it eertninand.

The Markets

Now open at twelve o'clock. This has been found
very nconvenient for laborng and mechanics, who
constitute the great majority of citizens. Their
wishes should especially be consulted 1t is much bet
that the without business and without employ
men should be compelled to rise hour earlier than
that the laboring should lose hour from his work
during the day. Besides, the people never know when
to attend the markets. Twelve o'clock is the hour
nay for the opening Of the markets, bat long before
that period arrives the market wagons are gone and
the butchers stalls empty All is sold and carried
off in violation of law. The Council must do something
to remedy these evils They must either the
markets to the morning hour, they enforce the
city ordinances and prevent fore saing. II the Mar
ket-master is Inefficient let the Marshal be employed,
and let the Mayor do his duty, and if the laws
be enforced, let them be repealed Markets

use Of hotel-keepers. Let all have fair chance.
