PAY AND SERVICE.

The Democratic Senate in calling for n
statement of the moneys paid to General
Scott for public services, will not merely call
public attention to the character Of Those SER
vices, but will inevitably provoke a compari.
son between the pay and serrice Of those who
arraign him. The battles of Chippewa and
Lundy's Lane were worth hundred times
the amount received by General Scott during
forty wears of public life And such will be
the verdict of the American people. The
British and their allies in this country may,
and very probably will, put very different
estimate on his services. They would have
appreciated much more highly the ground and
lofty tumbling with which Gen. Pierce has
adorned our military annals.
But to the sort of service rendered by the
Hon. Senators who think that Gen. Scott has
received too much. We find the following
named gentlemen received the sums respect
lively attached to their names, for one nights
quiet rest in Washingt on-under the pretence,
false of course, that they had during the night

Ex.Goy. JONES AT ATHENS.

We had the pleasure of hearing Governor
Jones deliver an able, argumentative, and ell
oquent speech at the Court house in Athens,
on Wednesday night, There was but little
time for notice, and yet there was large
number in attendance of the citizens of the
town and vicinity, among them many ladies'.
We have barely space to remark at present
that it was one of his ablest and most elo-
quent efforts, and that for an honr and half
he engaged, as he always does, the profound
attention of the audience, and ELECTED re-
peated and enthusiastic bursts of applause -
His arguments were unanswerable, and his
vindication of Gen. Scott brilliant and over
whelming. He possesses one advantage over
most public speakers-he appears never to
tire himself and he never tires his hearers.
God speed him in the patriotic work in which
he is now engaged.

DUEL The New York Sun of Thursday
morning gives the particulars of IN alleged
duel sat the Toll House, N. j." between Capt.
Stone of Santa Fe and Mr.. Townly Of New
Bedford. 1t states that Capt. Stone having
called Townly to account for insulting Ian.
guage used to his cousin, received an abusive
reply which he resented with blow, where
upon Townly challenged him; that the par.
ties fought with pistols at A. NJ. LIST inst;
and that both parties were wounded. The
Suns account concludes as follows
All being in readiness il was agreed the
principals should fire at the word three. The
seconds ask cd-"Are you ready" Both re.
piled simultaneously "Ready" .-Fire-One--
Two-Threc- crack went the pistols, Town
ly firing before the word, inflictjng with his
ball flesh wound in the arm of his ADVERSE
ny. The Captain fired at the word promptly,
wounding Townly in the hip. Not satisfied
yet the pistols were reloaded and second
round fired, Townly received his adversary's
ball in his shoulder while the Captain had
hole bored through his hat. Towny from
loss of blood fell backward, but was caught
by his second. The surgeon who was pre-
sent dressed the wounds, when the parties re-
turned to the city. The wounds are not con-
sidered dangerous, and both parties will pro-
badly recover.

The WILKINSON CALUNNY AGAINST GEN.
ScorT.-We find the following letter in the
New York Tribune, bearing date at Pough-
keepsie, Duchess county, August II, 1852
"Sir-l was appointed Hospital Surgeons
Mate IN the Army by Mr.. Madison in June,
1909, and ordered to New Orleans, and to re-
port TO Gen. Wilkinson, and arrived there
while the troops were at camp at Terre au

arrival the troops were ordered to the canton

the trial, and the result was published in Gem
eral Orders, and Capt Scott was honorably
acquitted of the charge. Some of the sol.
diers, whose money Capt. Scott wss alleged
to have kept, were witnesses on the trial, and
on their testimony resulted his acquittal.
/ SHOULD not have troubled you with this
note had not the Islander been diffused NIL
over the Union, and the truth required thatit
should be contradcted. 1t was very common
for the soldiers when paid to give their mon

any officer in whom they had confidence, and
in this way Capt. Scott became possessed Of
the moneys entrusted to him by the soldiers
of his company, and which resulted so hon.

Court Martial, and which was approved by
tho officer in command, General Hampton, Of

THE DEMONSTRATION AT N!aHr.--The
Knox County Boys, who seemea;S 70 be the
most enthusiastic of the whole 1Aosd, got
up a very pretty and animating affair at Lou
don, on Tuesday night. About 8 o'clock
they formed into procession at the steamboat
landing, and armed and equipped with large
number of beautiful transparencies, marched
through the streets of the town, and halted
in front of the hotel, where they called out
Gov. Jones and Gen. Haskell, both Of whom
made short speeches to them. After delight
ing the crowd with several Scott songs, they
they took up their line of march for the boat
amid the shouts of the multitude. Them

REDEEM YOUR PLEDGE.-The Advertiser
says, speaking of Gen. Scott, that "he has
resided IN Washington from ls4l 10 the pres
em time" Then neighbor, yourself and the
entire Southern Rights party can redeem the
pledge you and they made so often last year,
not to vote again for any man residing North
of the Potomac by voting for Gen. Scott
who was born in the South, raised in tho
South, educated in the South, and has always
lived in the South, except when engaged in
the active duties of the camp. And how
much more consistent, us Southern men, would
this course be, than to disregard your vows
and cast your votes for Gen. Pierce who was
born in the North, raised in the North, edu-
Gated in the North, and who never has been
in the South except when he was serving his
anti slavery State in Congress, where he voted
against the rights of n Shareholder to the en-
joyment Of his property in the DISTRICT
Montgomery Journal.

THE SETTLEMENT OF THE FISHERY CUES
TIoy.--The New York Albion, of Saturday,
expresses its belief of the rumor that the
fishery difficulty is settled by England hav-
ing conceded the American construction of
the treaty, and limited the reserved rights of
the North American provinces to the extent
of three marine miles from the shore, adding,
however:
"The British Government, MS we distinctly
said last week, has not backed out; it re-
mains to be seen whether it has imprudently
or il-advisedly given away certain right, Of
which it should have considered itself rather
the trustee than the possessor More re-
mains behind"
The Liverpool Times rejoices at the settle
ment Of the dispute, but says:
"Thc British colonists, for whose especial
benefit this rupture with the United States
was sought, and on whose account we sent
armed vessels to the scene of the trespass,
will be surprised to learn that the affair has
been settled by our surrender of rights the
legality of which was not disputed by either
of the contracting parties, and the infraction
of which formed the ground of our infer
ence."
|. The Times considers it humiliating to
British pride.

~" Senator Douglas, finding that heroes
make the most popular candidates for the
Presidency, has come to the conclusion that
he must exhibit little cbivalry. He made
his first demonstration in this way few days
ago in the Senate. He boldly gave the lie
to Senator Smith, of Conn.,, an old man up
wares of sixty and member of the church.
If Gen. Pierce be elected President on ac-
count of his exploits in Mexico, we think
that Douglas ought 10 succeed him on account
of this very heroic display on the floor OF the

the same subject: .....
"Thc evidence that Gen. Pierce entertains
and has expressed the sentiments attributed
to him above, and the kindred ones in refer
ence to the Fugitive Slave Law, which he
proclaimed ut New Boston, New Hampshire,

f--fHfiguCy enemies OF extravaganza D0lStcr-
Gus advocates for saving the dear peoples
money! But when they get chance to slip
their own hands into the crib, we see with
what results. These are the charges they
make for one pretended nights work, between
the 3rd and 4th of March, 1851. They not
only had no right to this money, but they
pocketed il in the face of an express law
against it. In lSi9, they made n similar
charge; but Mr.. Fillmore then being Vice
President, and being no friend to Democratic
economy, the account was not rendered, until
he was temporarily substituted by Mr.. Atchn-
son-whcn the opportunity was seized, and
that gentleman certified the account, by which
he put near $l,70O in his own pocket, in
1851, Mr.. King, the present candidate of the
party, being the presiding officer ofthe Senate,
certified the accOunt-although he refused to
profit by it himself
These are the scrupulous and honest gen.
tlemen who are now ovcrhauling Gen. SCOTS
accounts They are the great men The
leaders = the shining lights of the Democratic
party; and the country may form some idea
of the sort of economy they will practice
when they come to get control of the public
treasury. They do not scruple to put from
$1,000 to $4,000 into their pockets for a
single nights sleep. If the leaders, VINO might
be supposed to have some regard for public
opinion, are so eager for the spells, what may
we not expect from the "beggarly rabble,"
should they become quartered on the treas
ury! The feats which distinguished the Van
Buren, era, when "honest Levi'' guarded the
crib, would be thrown completely INTO the
shade, on the restoration Of the spoilers

Mr.. WEBsTER's FRIENDS AND THE WING
PARrY.-The following paragraph, from the
Courier and Enquirer, par excellence the Web
ster organ of New York, embodies some
sound and wholesome advice, which we re-
spectfully commend to the ardent friends Of
Webster and Fillmore everywhere:
The palpable course of Mr.. Webster's
friends, is to be true to their principles; and if
they cannot have Mr.. Webster for their can
ddate, they as Wings should vote for Gen
Scott because he is not only UNNECESSARILY
the superior of Gen. Pierce, but because he is
the nominee of the Wing Convention, and
the very man of all others, that the Wings of
the whole country prefer if they cannot have
Mr.. Webster. TO abstain from voting is viz
tually casting a vote for Pierce against intern
nj improvements, and in favor Of British Free
Trade. And those who find Gen. Scott far
more conservative than they anticipated or de-
sired, would be delighted and gratiiied be-
yond measure, if they can now by their uhrd-
ism, defeat his election. Could they have
foresecn that the National Convention would
have adopted the present Wing Platform, and
chcerfuly have accepted it, he would never
have been dreamed of as their candidate.-
They know that he will redeem all his pledges
and therefore, they will drive as many Wings
from his support as possible; but Mr.. Web
stey's friends cannot be led or msled.

former, and triumphantly indicated the old
hero chieftaiu from the many vile charges
and assaults that have been made against him.
Gen. Cullom is an able speaker, and the gen.
tleman on the other side who picks him up
will be apt to conclude that he has caught
Tartar.
Gen. Haskell followed Gen. Cullom in n
strain Of fiery and impassioned eloquence
which we have never heard surpassed. We
can give our readers who did not hear him
no idea of its effect upon tho assemblage.-
1t is sufficient to say that when he closed his
brilliant and fervent appeal TO the people to
come up to the support of Gen. Scott, and
roll back the cloud of calumny which the OPP
position were trying to heap upon him, We
saw many in the assembly, men and women,
shedding tears. Gen. Haskell came into
East Tennessee personally stranger to the
great mass of the people, and wherever he
has been and spoken he has won their love
and admiration, and made an impression deep
and lasting. and that will not pass away with
his departure from amongst us. Wherever
