SUFFOLK BANE ENTERTAINMENT CAsE.-On
saturday, in the hluniclpal Court, Boston,
Charles II. Brewer, late receiving teller of the
SdiloIk Bank, having pleaded guilty to the in
diclmcnls found against him, OF embezzllng
the funds OF said Bank, was brought up for
sentence. The prisoners mother and several
OF his relations were in Court. Hon. b. f.
t!aIlclt addressed the Court at length, in mti-
CATION OF the sentence. He argued that the
defendant had sustained an rreproachible char
acter up to the 23d OF March last at which
time the embozzlcment was discovered; that
he had been drawn into the offence charged
against him by an older person, and that he had
never exhibited any disposition to avoid the
Just penalties of the law. The defendant.
from the first, had manifested disposition to
make all possible restitution, and had made all
the disclosures in his power. lis social ia
tions had always been of the most exemplary
character. and ne questioned whether the law
in this instance demanded any great punish
mcnt. 10 sustain these declarations, the
counsel read a certificate from ii committee of
inyestL aton of which William W. Tucker is
chairman. and which document is strongly in
defendants favor. As to the place Of conlinc.
mcnt, he would suggest that there was need
OF person like the defendant at the Jail
Sheriff Crock'r stated that the services Of such
a man as the defendant would be very accep-
table at the jail
Some Of the officers of the Bank, and others,
also testified to the prisoners general excel
Cnce OF character.
District Attorney parl, stated That he was
satisfied the defendant did no. intend to dciuud
HE bunk but had used the funds for spccuat-
lng purposes, and being unfortunate in losses,

s'The Man who Never surrenders.

The whig papers prate powerfully about
their candidate who never surrenders, but
we think we have got them and their Gen
eral too on that same. We know General
Scott surrendered once 10 the British al
Queenstown, but that was because he could
not help it. We know, too, that he surren
aered once to an American General, because
he chose to do SO rather than to fight; ant
we happen 20 know, too, that he once sur
rendered 10 very unpretending American
soldier, volunteer in The last war, and un
der the following circumstances:
Every old settler about these diggins know
Ben Welch, who now lives just beyond the
city limits, on the Euclid road, and who
keeps good house for public entertainment.
ltwas this same old Ben who, on the 4th
of July 1924, solitary and alone on the Pub
lie Square, dug up an old rusty iron cannon,
punched it out, loaded it, ramming down bis
cartridge with broom stick, touched of
with his pipe, and hoorahed for Old Hickory
he being the only Jackson man in this coun-
iy. ltwas this same Old Ben who, in 1912,
was doing service us sentinel to the regi-
men. under Scott, one night when encamped
at Ptekskill, N. Y. The officer of the day
had given out the pass word while Scott was
out, and the sentinels were placed in posi-
tions for their nightly round, without know
ing that fact. Along in the night tall form
approached the guard lines, when sentinel
leveled his musket and hailed, who comes
there?'
Scott replied--'The Commander of the
Regiment .e
Sentinel-'March forward, give the coun
tersign, and you can pass
Scott--'l don't know the countersign, nor
do want to. lam Colonel Scott, Comnian-
der of the Regiment, and if you don't let me
pass will put you under guard
Sentinel-'Stand of. You can't pass with.
out the countersign.'
Scott-Call the sergeant of the guard
The sergeant was called, and thatsergeant
was 0ld Ben
Scott-'Sir, are you the sergeant Of this
guard
Old Ben-T am
Scott-'Then let me pass to my tent
Old Ben-'March forward, give the coun-
terslgn, and you can pass!
Scott--'rll be id if I'll do it. You
know who l am, and if you don't let me
pass, will rouse the camp, and put you
both in irons!'
Old Ben-'Sentinel, go bring file Of men
Here is mutiny in the camp! 81
The file OF men was forthcoming, which
toted the man who never surrenders off to
the guard -house, a little low tent, into which
he was thrust, feathers and all. No man in
Flanders swore worse than he, but the rules
and regulations Of war were inexorable, and
'Old Ben was just the man to see them exc.
cuted. The above relation is literally true
Scott seeing no chance Of escape, sent fo
the officer Of the day, who released him from
arrest. When Scott was in Cleveland in 81
he met Sergeant Welch, and complimented
him for doing his duty.--Clspcland Plain

/ have taken the pain tcdig up these re-
cords from the history Of the past, in order TO
show your readers that Gen. Scott has not
such clean bill-of-health as his friends a.
sumo. It is well for men who once gloried
in their adherence to jackson, 10 be informed
how UNANIMOUSLY the old Hero was slandered
by the fuss and Feathers" who now solicits
their suffrages. Jackson was endowed with
remakabte powers of penetration; and when
he alluded to Scott's Overwhelming ydnity,'
he pierced tender spot.
The Metropolitan Hotel, which is 10 be open
ed some time next month, by the brothers Le-
land, will be the most costly and convenient
hotel in the world, and the largest by all odds.
1t contains two hundred more rooms than the
Astor House. 1t has more talent in its admin,
istration than most Of the kingdoms Of Europe
can boast Of, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that its heads Of departments will bring
their labors 10 more successful termination
than the gettersup of the Japan Expedition,
which seems to have been wi,ted by Fillmore's
failure to get the Baltimore nomination. The
Expedition is thought to have been got up for
political effect. There being now no other
reason for going on with it it has been aban-
doned. Pierce or Scott will have to put one
Emperor of Japan, through, after all.

claims for the Presidency, at the Ross House

They were separated by officer Harrel be-

no sooner died away than the Scott Wing

Alteration Of the width q the. .Bailroad


We understand that the Pres INT and
two of the Directors Of the Newark and
Sandusky Road were here, on Friday, for the
purpose of urging change in the width of
the track of our road, which is intended to
be four feet ten inches, to that Of their swn
which is fvc feet four inches--the widest in
the State. They agree to take the Locomo-
tive off of our company's hands, immedi'
ately ship one Of the proper guage from
Newark, and insure the construction OF the
connecting link between Jackson and that
place. This, we consider, very fair and rea-
sonable, and ps the intention OF the compa-
ny, at first, was TO make their road the wide
guage, and as it is far preferable to have a
through connection between Portsmouth and
sandusky, it is quite probable, though by no
means certain, that the proposition will be
accepted. The Directors Of our road are TO
meet those Of the Newark and Sandusky
road, at this place on Saturday next, when
the matter will be finally decided.
The S. & H. v. Company have, also, a
proposition from the Marietta and Cincin-
natl company, in which it is proposed that
we altar our track to the guage OF their road
-four feet eight inches.
In the meantime, the contractor is ready
to commence putting down the iron' and
the width of the track must be determined
upon with the least possible delay.
