A correspondent OF the Boston Her
aid tells the following good story:
A few months ago. as brother Ingalls,
Of swampseot, was travelling through
New York. hefe in with an Irishman
who had lately arrived in this country.
and who Was In quest of brother who
came on before him and settled in some
ofthe diggings.
Pat Was a strong. athletic man !; q
true Catholic, and had never seen the
interior Of a Protestant church. Itwas
apleasant Sabbath morningthat brother
Ingalls, met Pat. who inquired the road
to the nearest church.
Ingalls, is good, pious man. He
told Pat he was going TO church him
self. and invited bis new made scquain-
tznee to keep him company thither. his
place ofdestination beinga small Metho-
dist meeting house near by. There was
great revival there at that time. and
one Of the deacons (who, BY the way.
was very small in stature) invited bro.
ther l. to take seat in his pew. He
accepted the invitation aud walked in.
followed by Pat, who looked in vain to
find the altar, &c. Afterhe was seat
ed he turned to brother 1 and in whis.
per which could be heard eli around,
inquired:
"Sure andisn'tthis hereto church,
Hush" !" said Ingalls,, . If you speak
a loud word they will put yos out i'm
mediately."
"Niver word will 1 speak At all. a

The meeting was opened with praye'
by the pastor. Pat was eyeing him
very closely, when suddenly an OLD

Scott at Charleston in 1888.

6GOII AZ CndfleStOu I'D l0oA-v0.
Want Of discretion on the part Of
Scott, in the momentous and delicate
business with which he was charged,
would have precipitated a fatal catas-
trophe. Regarding the propriety and
prudence with which he acted. we
have the reliable testimony Of Benja-
min Watkins Leigh, esq, who wen,te
Charleston as the bearer Of certain re-
solutions Of the Legislature Of Virginia,
intended to restore pacific relations be-
tween South Carolina and the Federal
authorities. That gentleman, in q let.
ter, thus speaks Of the cOnduct Of Gen.
Scott:
81 was at Charleston when he arri-
we'd and assumed the command, which
he did without parade or fuss. No one
who had not an opportunity Of observ-
ing on the spot the excitement that
existed can have an adequate concep-
/ ton of the trust. Gen. Scott had Z
large acquaintance with the people o.
Charleston--he was their friend; but
his situation was such that many. the
great majority of them. looked upon him
as a public enemy. He thought tha'
the first drop Of blood shed in civil wal
between the United States and one ol
/ the States, would prove an immediCa-
BILE wound and in change OF our insti
tutions. He was resolved, if it wa
possible, to prevent resort to arms
and nothing could have been more judi
cious than his conduct. Far from be
inc prone to take offence he kept hi
temper under the strictest guard, an'
was most careful to avoid giving oc
casisn for offence; yet he held himsel
: ready to act if it should become neces
sary, and he let that be distinctly un
: derstood. He sought the society Of u
Nullifiers, and took care never to sa
/, a word to them on the subject Of polltl
cal differences he treated them as
!, friend. From the beginning to the end
! his conduct was as conciliatory as It wa
E firm and sincere, evincing that he kne'
: his duty and was resolved to perforl
J, it, and yet that his principal object an
: purpose was peace. He was perfect
successful, when the least imprudenc
might have resulted in . serious coils
ion."

The Washington Union is denouncing


Gen. Scott on.a new lark. II says:
III there 10 one trait Of character broad>
" developed anddefned in his history. il
is his habit Of ruling with the high handl
of martial command. Whether at the
head OF his troops, or al the head Of his,
bureau, this spiri, has always been con-
spcuous in his conduct. He did not
scruple TO defy Jackson. to conlemn
Adams. and TO lrample under foot the or
ders of Polk. He has not hesilaied 10
visit his resentment upon his superors
and his interiors, or to use his military
position 10 annoy and 10 countervalli the
civil authority
And yet for months past The Union has
been denouncing Gen. Scott, who defed
Jackson, condemned Adams, and tTampledi
upon Polk. as tool Of VIM. II. Seward!
One assertion disproves The other. and
nobody believes either. Fay ots
