Then rally at the POLLS ON TUESDAY


NEXT, and cast your votes for the old Chief
tain, who, in war and in peace, has proven
himself equal to every emergency. Who
can doubt or distrust the man who has serv-
cd his country so long and SO well, and ''has
SO fully proven his character as paclfcator
no less worthy of confidence and admiration,
than as warrior? Who can fear the fdcl-
ity and honor of him who, for forty years,
has followed his country's flag, and kept
her honor bright and untarnishcd!"
WAR VESSELS TO CUBA-A New York
despatch states that orders have been recciv-
ed from Washington for the immediate de-
parture of the U S. Steam frigate Powha-
tan for Havana, to join the Cyane and in
vestigate the recent difficulty between the
authorities there and the steamer Crescent
City, Commodore Perry and Judge +.
Conkln, U. S. Minister to Mexico, go out
as passengers in the Powhatan.
The owners of the T. S. Mail steamship
Crescent City have given official informa
ton to the President Postmaster General
and Sccrntarn of the Navv of the difficulty
at Havana between that steamer and the
Spanish authorities. They further stated
that they intended sending the Crescent
City back to Havana as usual on her rtgu-
lar trip, with Purser Smith on board The
steamer will enter the harbor of Havana,
Notwithstanding the prohibition from the
Captain General, and if fired into will be
surrendered to the Spanish authorities
1t is understood, however, that the con-
mander of the u S. vessel of war the Cy-
ane, now on her way to Havana, has in
structions which will prevent any repetition
of the late insult to the American flag.
Our FOR SCoTT Georgia "Citi-
zen" says that Judge Charles Dougherty
Col VIM. Doughcrty, an6 Hon. james
johnson, of that State, have declared in fa-
vor of Gen. Scott Judge Dougherty vas
a prominent and leading Southern lights
Whic last year. Mr.. Johnson is the mem
Der of Congress from the I'd Congressional
| District in Georgia, elected last year as a
Union Democrat, but he cannot 90 Pierce,
and as the contest is between Pierce and
| Scott, he does not now, in choosing between
them, hesitate to decide in favor of the 60
rious old Hero of Lundy's Lane. Mr..
Johnson was one of the signers of the c,rd
gotten up by Toombs, Stephens and Others
and being fully satisfied that the objections
urged against Scott in that document we're
without foundation, he has the honesty csay
so, and to publish and announce his 6ter-
mination to stand by the PATRIOT CHEF
TAIN.
SCoTT AND WELLTNGToN.-The B,Ni-
more American remarks that the WashiW
ton Union undertakes a comparison b.
tween Scott and Wellington, in whid,
it attempts to disparage the Americ;n
warrior and to cxalt the Brton. Thee
is nothing surprising in this. The nam
and fame Of General WINFIELD ScoT1
though blended with the glory and honor d
his country, is now exposed to the denun
citation of any pretender in politics who car
use the language Of defamation against hin
and have the heart to do it. No English
man was ever known, we believe, to say one
word in abuse of his Government for be-
slowing the highest rank and emoluments
upon the Duke of Wellington, or upon the
Duke for receiving such marks of his coun-
try's favor. Yet in this country Senator
of the United States-luckily so for brief
period, and only so by reason of national
calamity-a Senator of the United States
has been found capable of the poor business
Of moving an inquiry into the pay and al
lowances given 10y law to Gen. Scott as an
officer in the public service during the peri
cd of his military life
