Civil and Military.

The pretensions of Gen. PIERCE to military tai
ent, or rather the pretensons which his party en-
deavor to sustain for him, remind us Of the Militia
Captain, who, in the course of series of pompous
evolutions previous to the day of training stumbled
like Gen. PIERcE's horse, and fell down into his
cellar. His wife being very much alarmed ran
Immediately to his relief and began to bewail his
misfortune. This wellmeant sympathy Of the
kind-hearted woman, was exceedingly offensive to
the dignity of the fallen officer, and he replied
$50 into the house woman! what do you know a
bout ,car!!! That's it: Gen. PIERCE fell from
his horse in Mexico, and before ScoTT was nomi-
mated whenever the Wings mentioned the circum-
stance, in the kindest way imaginable, the Locos
replied, SECT out of the way We mere civilians,
what do you know about WAR" Now, however,
when the Wings are led by an unmistakable SOL
der, they begin to cry-"SCoTr's nothing but
military man-what does he know about civil af-
fairs?'' The misfortune is that their candidate
knows about as little of the one as he does Of the
other. ...

A Union Democratic Press out for
Scott.


The Macon Citizen, one of the few Democratic
papers OF Georgia which supported the Consti
tutlonal Union party, and whose editor processes
to be Democrat Of the Jackson and Jefferson
school, has come out strongly in favor Of Scott in
opposition to Pierce. We give few extracts from
one Of his articles, as follows: 4 II
And lastly. What has been the association Of
these gentlemen? ga man is known by the com
pany he keeps" "Birds of feather flock togeth-
er," &c. ten Scott is said to be under the infu-
ence of Seward, Hale, Greedy s. Co. Perhaps he
is. Gen Pierce, by paritp of reasoning, may
be said to be under. the influence of Van Buren,,
Rantoul, Giddings and the New York Gree Soil)
Post, who are loud in his praise But further, who
support Gen Pierce and oppose Gen. Scott in the
South? Why, all the Fiilibusters, Fire Eaters,
Secessonists, Nullifers, Disunionists, ultra loco
focos, &C., &c. Every man of them from Pedee
to the Rio Grande!
What, then, should Union Democrats and
Wings, Fillmore men, Webster men and Critten-
den men do, in such an emergency Shall they
surrender to their enemies who have elected them
from the "Union Hotel" and now claim to be the
propretors of the concern, all splendid as 1t is in
its lettering and dilapidated condition?
Of all others, the Fillmore men of Georgia
should stand by Gen. Scott. These Fillmore men
,vould go to Baltimore-they ,vould participate in
the proceedings of the Wing Convention, land they
are, therefore, politically if not morally bound to a
bide the action of that body. The condition pre-
cedent, laid down and demanded by then, was COM
piled with by the Convention. The Compromise
platform was adopted, and it is admitted on all
hands, that it is as good if not better platform
than that of the Democratic Convention? What
excuse then have Fillmore Wings for refusing to
support Scott? None, we imagine, but sheer
spite or envy because their favorite was not nomi
mated. Why should they support Pierce in prefer
ence2 We would not detract an iota from the
fame and services of the latter. We would not
throw single blot on the escutcheon of his revo-
lutionary ancestry. Distinguished as Gen. P. may
be in the annals of his country, when compared
with the lofty patriotism brilliant services and glo-
rious fame of his competitor, he is but pgmy "a
long side a giant? With the lights then before us,
and no third candidate intervening whom we may
like BETTER we cannot hesitate to give our support
to Gen. Scott.

A soldiers Testimony.

There is soldier now in this town, who fought
under WINFIELD ScoTr in the Mexican war, and
who bears upon his body the marks of severe
wounds received in the various battles in which he
was engaged A friend of ours inquired OF this
soldier few days ago if he had ever heard any
thing of Gen. PIERCE while he was in Mexico
He was on the same line, was out during the en-
tire campaign, and ought to know something about
all the prominent officers of the Army. He replied
that he never had during his whole stay ever heard
the name of Gen. PIERCE mentioned. This is the
testimony of one who fought in nearly all the bat
ties between Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico,
and Democrat at that If his fellOw-soldiers
never 'heard tell'' of Gen. PIERCE, we guess he
must have kept himself very quiet. Theman who
thus frankly acknowledges that he never heard OF
Gen. PIERCE, knew WINFIELD SCOTT well, and
saws that kinder and more attentive man to his
soldiers he never met with In the service,

Portrait of Gen. Pierce.

Gone of our first engravers is now giving the
finishing touches to noble steel plate engraving

upon majestic war-horse, holding his spy-glass. D
1.-The sits upon the horse in the picture it will be
more than he was able to do in Mexico. Should
the engraper who has undertaken the JOB succeed
in making him stick, he ought to be made Secreta-
ry of War. 1t is shrewdly suspected since Gen
SCOTT has received the nomination of the Wing
Convention, that the horse and the spy-glass will
be left out of the picture. Possibly he may now
be represented as PIERCE, the Philanthropist, in
the act of passing over an entire copper to blub
berng boy, wherewith to purchase stick of Can
dy. Underneath the portrait might be written that

Mr.. Gentry's Speech.

We are indebted to our attentive representative
Mr.. LEToHER, for several copies of the speech de,
livered by Mr.. GENTRY, of Tennessee, in the low
er house of Congress, on the 18th of June, against
the nomination of Gen. ScoTr by the Wing Con-
venton. We did not read the first copy received
but as they kept coming, we concluded that respect
for Mr.. LErcHER, if nothing Else, required us to
look into the document. We have done so, and
are prepared to express an opinion for the benefit
of all whom it may concern.
TO be brief then, the speech is in opposition to
Gen. Scorr, as we have stated, but contains not
one good reason why single Wing in the Union
should withhold from him his cordial support. The
burden of the speech is SEWARD, SEWARD, but
there is not word which shows that Gen. SCOTT
is in any degree Enthusiastically. :,
Mr. GENTRY thinks the Southern Wings will
not go for ScoTT, Calling however to prove that
they ought noD and consequently the canvass will
assume sectional character and Gen. ScoTT be
elected by Northern votes exclusively. He then
depicts the unhappy state of affairs which will en-
sue, and which we admit are sufficiently frightful
to contemplate. But how shall Southern Wings
prevent result so drefnl? Not, certainly, by a
hardening Gen. SoorT to the North, but by rally
ing to his support, and aiding him to keep the par
ty on a national platform. He stands and will
stand on the platform of the Wing party, and is
now drawing up to it the masses at the North and
West; and if the party is sectionalized in the can
vass the blame will be Justly chargable to such
Wings as Mr.. GENTRY.

Editors Chicago Journal:
GENTLEMEN: In your paper Of yesterday no
tice a statement concerning General-then Lieu
tenant Colonel-Scott's conduct towards the pris-
oners of foreign birth captured by the British at
the battle of Queenstown in 1913, and his heroic
conduct on the occasion.
Having been myself in the frontier war under
Gen. Scott in l6l2-l3,I am personally acquainted
with the particulars concerning it,and can fully at
test to the truth Of the statement referred to.
When the selection of foreigners was sought to
be made, Gen. Scott was below playing game Of
chess with my brother, Lieut. Daniel Hugunin.
Hearing the noise on deck, Gen Scott rushed up,
and learning the cause, forbade, in the most per-
emptory manner, another man from saying word,
lest their accent should betray the place of their
birth land assured those selected that if the British
government dared to execute man of them, their
death should be avenged.
When Scott arrived at Quebec, he was offered
his parole, but refused unless it was given to his
officers ALSO 1t was refused, and he was confined
with them in the prison ship. He was likewise
invited to dine with the commander of the citadel,
and accepted only on the above condition.
The prisoners retained as hostages for those sent
to England of foreign birth to be shot for treason,
were taken at Fort George, where was under
Gen. SCOTS command, and was an eye witness to
his heroisrn, and the kind attention to his soldiers

was the following:
RESOLVED, That we regard the impntation, at
tempted to be cast on the Wing Nominee for the
Presidency, of being under the control of Free
Sellers, as an unfounded calumny, which is fully
refued, by the long and brilliant career in the ser
vice of his country, by which Gen. Scott has shewn
himself to be, no less remarkable for his high sense
of honor, and manly independence, than for the in
variable success of all these undertakings, by
which he has covered himselfand his country with
unfading glory and renown.
