GHTItis pretty generally conceded that
Gen. Scott has earned what he got and a lit
tie more, and this is what cannot be said Of
every ninety out OF hundred Locofo-
COS who have been feeding out Of the public
crib.-Gasets.
Where is the poor soldiers two months
.pay!-E4s's.
Just to hand comes an able article from
the Richmond Wing, which we publish to-
day. Among Others who object to General
SCOTS pay il tie .ditor 5l the EagE, who
charged Tor Assessor blanks ninety dollars
more thaa member Of his own party was
willing to print them for.

the platform; Webb on the candidate; Web
ster is mum; Fillmore and his Cabinet, cold;
Toombs, Stephens, Gentry, Giddlngs, and
the big guns Of Whiggery in Congress open
ly oppose the election of Gen. Scott, and
honest, knowing wings, everywhere, give it
up. Old North Carolina follows in the van,
and knocks all the feathers out Of OLD Fuss
cap!-Edgle.
! And the people Of Iowa have shown that
the disafecton Of few disappointed poll
ticans has no influence upon free people
determined to reward one of their greatest
and best men with the highest office within
their gift.
DEMOCRATS. When you hear Whie
boast Of carrying Ohio, Indiana ,or Kentucky,
point him to the following:
Ohio and Indiana.-The Lafayette Qndi-
ana Journal, Wing paper, says:
TuIi H. ,t,;.b J..,,hf,
so o11W Ohio. We must keep a look out for
Kentucky-sbe, too, is on the fence. What
time and money you have to devote to the
election, let it be spent there-not here,
where we have nothing to expect
The above we find in the Eagle. 1t is
one Of the ten thousand inventions of Loco
focoism. The Lafayette Journal never said
any such thing. But the Eagle will not
correct the falsehood.
6JJohn \. McClernand, in his speech
at ShawneetOwH, characterized the system of
( ''improving western rivers and harbors by
the General Government as WILD AND VS.
ToNARY," and declared that "IF PIERCE
WAS ELECTED, HE WOULD VETO
lALL SUCH SCHEMES"
/ CertGinly he would. He always Uoted a.
gainst all appropriations for sGch purposes,
and the principle OF such opposition is a
prominent plank in the platform of the Con-
vention that nominated him at Baltimore for
/ the Presidency .-ChicGgo Jour.
HORRIBLE ACcIDEST.-The Hamilton
! (O) Intelligencer says boy in Beckett g.
Rigdon's Paper Mill met with an accident
that will probably cause his death. The
boy was left in the room occupied by the
Irag-cutter, while the man in charge went
into the story above. Hearing screams, he
ran down stairs, and saw the boy revolving
trounda perpendicular iron shaft, foot from
the door frame.
The boys had been playing with the shaft
holding locks ofhemp,w which became wrapped
around the revolving shaft. 1t is supposed
that the boy was thus playing, when his
arm, getting entangled, was wound up with
the hemp, and his body offering resistance,
fastened him SO firmly to the shaft as to tear
has left arm ont at The shoulder. When he
was found, his arm was crushed to a Jelly
and bound by the hemp about the iron, en-
tirely disconnected from his body. His legs
were still entangled in the hemp.
In addition to this, his left thigh bone was
broken. there were several deep gashes in
his right leg, and a cash ten inches long in
the right groin laying the intestines bare.
SINGULAR DEATH.-A son of Mr.. Rob-
bert Pye died yesterday at the residence of
his father, on Sycamore street, from the ef
fects Of luchjnw. Some time ago, a trouble
some and painful corn on one of his toes
was pared down, but not sufficiently to draw
the blood. A short time afterwnrdi infamma-
ton set in, acknowledgement in a letter form
to his shoulder, and thence to his head
The agony of tile little fellow was indescri-
babIe, and it is a msttcr of wonder that he
survived the acute pangs so long as be did.
Dhlorofurm and other soothing appliances
were administered, and every attention be-
slowed upon him by physicians and the
family, but the system at length yielded to
: the disease, and he expired in the utmost ag-
ony. Those who were present speak ofthe
case as one Of the most heart rending
character, and our physicians have meyer
had similar one in their practice.- Gin.
