Gen. Scott's Religious Opinions.

Mr.. BAILAcuE, Editor of the Alton Tel.
egraph, recently paid visit to Gen. Scott
He thus speaks of the interview:
On Saturday morning according to pre-
vious appointments, Judge Baker and my
self proceeded to pay our respects to such
of the public functionaries as we had not pre-
viously been to see. Our first call was upon
the veteran General Scott, the nominated
Wing candidate for the next Presidency,
whom we found at the headquarters. His
striking military air, and commanding per-
son, have been so often described, and are
so familiar to every one, that | need not al
lude to his appearance any further than to
remark, that he now seems more robust than
he did when first saw him nearly nine
years since. We found him immersed in
business plainly attired in citizens. dress;
and were received by him with great cordial
ity and kindness, Instead of being, as some
OF his opponents have represented, distant
and austere, he displayed during the half
honr which we spent with him, all the frank
ness of gallant soldier, and the urbanity
of an accomplished gentleman. In the course

with him, on various topics, the subject OF
religion happened to be introduced; wher
he observed that in his opinion, the religion:
views of candidate for office, should moi
be suffered to operate either for, or agans
him; but that, as religion is the only sure
foundation of true morality, it is highly de-
sirable that all public functonaries shoulc
be pious men. He further remarked, tha
his parents were members of the Protes
tant Episcopal Church; that he was born
baptized, and confirmed, according to tn,
rites of that Church, and still remained at
, tached to it; but that he could fellowship al
T Christians, without regard to denominations
, distinctions, and believed that religion wa
a matter lying exclusively between ever,
man and his Maker, with which no othe
person had any right to interfere, either di
: rectly or indirectly. His remarks on thi
D point, as well as on all others referred to i
S the course of the conversation, were eS
S ceedingly appropriate, and well expressed
and we took our leave of the great chic
with our former high respect for the ma
= and his character, highly increased.

RELIGION II MrHIco.-In honorable con-
trast, says the Buffalo Express, to the tyran-

LocoIocos, among whom Franklin Pierce is
a leader and an oracle, is the magnanimous

victorious army-havng absolute power
over the country-having Spanish, French,
and British example TO justify the seizure Of
church property, and the appropriation Of
the gold and silver equipage employed by an
enemy in the celebration Of worship. Scott,
like a true man as he is. sheltered the Mex
lean Catholic Church under the shield of tol-
Grafton, guardedits property from violation,
and treated its forms with respect.
BY the General Order No. 2S7, issued
from the National Palace, he published the
code OF laws for the government of the citv
OF Mexico; particularly Addressed however,
| to the Americans. The second section of
the orders, embracing the Offences for which
our troops would be vigorously punished,
was as follows:
y. Assassination, murder, poisoning,
! rape, or the attempt TO commit either: mali
cious stabbing or manning; malicious assault
and battery, robbery, theft; the lcanton des-
ecTatton Of churches or other religious edif-

ceremonies, and the destruction, except by
order Of u superioaS officer Of public or pri-

THE HUNG JURY.
BY SOL SMITH.

Who in St. Louis, New Orleans. or
any of the intermediate cities on that
grand highway, the Mississippi. does
not know Noah Ridgley? In fact.
wherever the steamboat Hannibal has
made a landing, Noah has been seen
. and known al some time or other. In
st. Louis, particularly, he is great
favorite. He has been clerk of the
Hannibal for many years, which steam
boat continues to perform voyages be-
tween New Orleans and ST. Louis. with
her single but powerful engine, taken
out of the old "St. Louis" commanded
by Capt Swon, and now as good as
new. So much bv way of explanation
now 10 my story.
In ST. Louis we all know the difficulty
of procuring jurors to try cases before
justices of the peace--it being almost
next to an impossibility to get together
twelve citizens, "good men and true"
who were willing to sit for two or three
hours in a Justices Office, which is
never by any accident larger than a
moderate sized bandbox. surrounded by
q prouaiscuous crowd which always
gathers, filling up room, doors and win-
dows, whenever a "lury trial" is to
come of-especially if lawyers are en-
played in it.
Il so happened "onee upon time !"
that two merchants had little misun-
derstanding, which resulted in their
going TO law" before Justice Walsh
The amount in dispute was q mere
tTife; but each was obstinate, and
would not give way q jot-so to law
they went To make matters worse,
each must have a lawyer to help him
on, and one of the lawyers, determined

Of his client, and demanded a jury A

and Constable Busby started off to exc
