her children from their earliest childhood to
consider ilhumor as disorder which was to
be cured by physic. Accordingly, she had

rhubarb for the crossness No punishment
was required. Peevishness, i'll temper, and
rhubarb were associated in their minds always
as cause and effect.

GENERAL SCOTT.

As We have already said, were he twenty
times chosen President, it could not add to
the renOwn of General Scott The culmi-
mating point of his glory was when those
shouts rent the air, on his entry into the
Mexican capital. The ambition of mortal
can hardly claim higher reward than that,
unless it be found in the exemplary record of
long life of patriotic service and continued
sacrifice for his country. General Scott is
defeated, and his plume is lowered before the
prowess of younger conqueror We shall
not desert him in his defeat. We cling closer
to the old soldier now than ever. We would
that circumstances had not so TRANSFERRED as
to prevent us from rendering him more eff
cient service. We have been blamed for our
slow declaration of allegiance. We have
pointed out its true causes in previous issues,
with how much accuracy our readers can bet
ter Judge with the aid of present lights. We
honor the invincble band Of Wings in Geor-
gia who have cast their votes for Scott, be-
cause we are now convinced that he was
worthy of them. The published correspond
ence of Mr.. Fillmore, and the evident course
which things have taken in some of the great
States, as eyinced by reported maiorities, have
strengthened that conviction. If we lost 4
President, the army has gained the best of
commanding generals. Scott will be re-
stored to his just influence for double rea-
son. His efforts for the interests of the
army will no longer be neutralized by his as
pring political position, and the personal
friendship of the President elect, will, we are
sure, be continued to him hereafter, as here
tofure. The honorable conduct of Mr.. Pierce
towards Scott during the Pillow trial, is a
good guaranty for this SauGnndh RepuO.

BANKs.-The Washington correspondence
of the New York Courier and Enquirer con-
tains an abstract of the annual statement Of
the condition of the Banks of the United
States, as communicated to Congress by the
Secretary of the Treasury, at the close Of
the session in August last From table eX-
hibiting the affairs of banks making returns
nearest to January, 1851, it appears that there
were then 1877 Banks and 1913 branches,
making S65 Banking institutions, of which
returns were received at the Treasury De-
partment. From the abstract above referred
to i. appears that there was an increase Of
Banking Capital in 1851 over the preceding
year of somewhat over five per cent. The
number of Banks and Branches increased at
about the same rate. The expansion Of Bank
credit was over S48000,000, or 1872 per cent.
The amount of stocks held by the Banks
augmented 1879 per cent. The value OF Real
Estate diminished, The specie in all the
Banks was, in round numbers, $52,000,000,
and the increase within the year was $685.
900, or about Is per cent. The most con-
siderable advance took place IN the items of
circulation and depostes. The circulation
increased $22,6O2,OOO, about l6 per cent
The deposits $2OOOO,OOo-lS per cent
These figures, says the Baltimore American,
though indicating general extension Of
Banking business, do not show state Of
things calculated to excite any uneaSiness in
the minds of prudent men.
