Incident in the Life Of Gen. Scott.

1t was whilst a prisoner in the hands of the
British, that the following incident occurred:
"Colonel Scott, after some length of time, re-
ceived q message that some one wished to
speak to, the tall American, and Immediately
proceeded to the hall of the house to ascer-
tain who wished to see him. His visitors proved
to be two of the party of Indians who had at
tackled him while bearing the flag of truce.
One of them Scott recognized at once, by his
tall statue, as a chief known as Captain Jacobs;
the other, though a son of the celebrated Brant,
had less fame, but was a powerful and muscu.
lar In a jargon in which might be traced
a confusion of Indian and the two European
languages spoken in Canada, they questioned
Col. Scott as to whether he was wounded or
not, and informed him they had frequently
fired at him. The chief at length became angry,
and seized the Colonel to turn him around in
order that he might examine his back. Any
one who has ever looked into the wild fiery eye
of the General may readily conceive how he
felt at this familiarity. With one effort of his
muscular arm he threw the Indian to the other
villain; you shot like a squaw!" The taunt and
what had previously occurred, dashed the chief
into a fury, and he rushed upon Scott with his
knife drawn. His companion followed his
example.
eThe idea of asking for assistance did not
enter the mind Of Colonel Scott; and had re.
treat been possible, he would have died before
he would have moved one step. Fortune al
ways favors the brave; and Scott saw within
his grasp the swords of his captive compan.
ions. With a soldiers eye he selected the
longest, which CHANGED to be a heavy drapoon
sabre, which probably had been worn by one
of the volunteer officers. The heavy steel
scabbard fell fromit Immediately, and with one
step to the side Scott placed himself in such a
position that he was enabled to keep the point
at Jacobs breast, at the same time that he was
in guard towards his companion. Jacobs life
was in the power Of Scott, who seemed moth
ing loath to take it. At the same time it seemed
not improbable that Scott would scarcely be
Ne TO foil the other, in spite of his occupying
position which rendered it impossible for
sem TO attack him in the rear. At this mo-
ment Captain Coffin, a nephew of the well
known Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, and an aid of|
General Sheafe, entered on a visit of courtesy
to the prisoners, and amazed at what he saw
called loudly for the guard. At the same mo.
ment he placed a pistol at Jacobs head and|
seized Brant by the arm. The sentinels came
IN Immediately on being called for. In the
whole affair there had been no noise; and thew
dragged off the two Indians, who most cordial
~ cursed all white men and all the laws of
war"

DAs the Indian Queen the other day was
turning a difficult but well known bend in the
bayou, where the water is boiled and dashed
about at a rate that makes the pilot look to his
helm, a strange and nervous looking man sud-
denly exclaimed, as he clenched the guard rails

Resignation of NH. Graham.
From the Picayune

-
\ WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Washington
naners Of this morning contains the letters OF
sacceptauce of Gen. Scott and Gov. Graham
9Thev are addressed to Gen. Chapman, Presl'
8dent of the Wing National Convention, VINO
lin his letter of notification, enclosed 10 each
candidate a copy Of the platform adopted by l'e
convention.
Gen. Scott adopts the platform resolutions
land makes them a part of his letter OF acce,p'
lance. If elected, he says he will d
asingle alteration of the naturalization laws

Ito him by his military experience--glvIng all
storeigners the right Of citizenship who sinai

deficient in integrity or devotion to the constl-
atution and the Union. He will only resort to
athe vote power in extreme cases. He will carry
Unto the Government the one grand principle
aof obedience to the Legislative and judicial de
apartments. He will recommend or approve
ssuch measures with regard TO the management
sof the public domain as will secure their early
Settlement, and be favorable to actual settlers,
sconsistent, however, with a due regard to pub
lie rights. He says he can offer no other pledge
or guarantee than the known incidents OF Il
whole Southern public, may feel sure that
nothing will be done to interfere with their
constitutional prerogatives, if he can prevent it;
1t seems to us that the Southern people should
be fully satisfied with the action of the Wing
National Convention. A platform has been
adopted, which fully guarantees their rights,
land both the candidates for the Preside cy and
Vice Presidency, are Southern men by birth
land education. What more could be asked!

4 A Trip on the Indian Queen-A gay party
of ladies and gentlemen left town last Satur
day, on board of this admirable little packet
on a trip to Crosse Tete, to join in the festi'
vities of a ball and supper, given by the elect
led Democratic candidates, at the spacious no.
itel of Mr.. U. L. TRoxcLER. The company on
board was in high humor, consisting of many
|of the young ladies and gentlemen of our vii
|lage; and as there were five violins and plenty
|of ice-cream on board, a dance was soon got
under way-and the shutting feet, the sweet
music, the merry laugh, the jingling of the
dollars at a bacara table, the gushing steam,
the revolving paddles, the rushing of the little
boat through the swift current Of the bayou,
altogether raised a delightful excitement, and
all seemed in fine humor with themselves and
everybody else. About shutdown the Queer
reached her destination-and soon after, the
ball opened. We were not present, but un-
derstood that it was quite a nice affair. All
went off pleasantly and early next day the
little boat was ploughing her way hack to Pla-
,quemine.
The Indian Queen has been running as a re-
|gular packet between Plaquemine and Crosse
|Tete it is the first enterprise of the kind that
has ever been attempted and we feel assured,
the people of Crosse Tete will never be in
want of a packet in future, when the water is
high enough to admit one to run.

A man by the name of Kennedy was twice
