"Leaye an order for il at Adams Express

Oh, no."
"But oh, yes" said the other-who proved to

I" give me authority, and I'll soon have it here"
The authority was given, and Mr.. Smith re-
solved to show what he could do in the way of
despatch. It was then 8 o'clock at night. He
telegraphed ten words to Baltimore, and at a very
early hour next morning the pretty gold watch,
"alive and ticking" was presented to the fair
owner at her bedside by the chamber maid.
Thus are time and time-pieces saved by the
progress Of modern Expresses.

Scott I'm the South.

The Philadelphia North American says: "Bolt-
ing the nomination of General Scott seems to be
o very Improbable move on the part Of the south
ern newspapers. Recently we noticed quite a
labored complaint in one Of the leading Georgia
Union Wing papers, because its Wing subscribers
discontinued their subscriptions on account Of the
unreasonable course of the paper. The Whining
ton, IN. CD Commercial also made similar COM
plant; and now the same paper reiterates its
complainings with a force which clearly shows
that whatever confidence the State department
may have in that journal, as shown by the be-
stowal of the Government patronage on it, the
staunch Wings of that locality do not show the
feeling, and are, in consequence, disseminating
their subscriptions. In order to fortify itse
against these losses, the Commercial states thai
the Wings, as party have not paid the ex
penses of that establishment since its commence
ment by at least Six thousand dollars, and thai
Democrats and neutrals have made up the bal.
ance. The Commercial says that some Of its dis.
continuing subscribers remark, in stopping their
paper, If you stick to the Wing party, we will be
glad to support you"

The Washington Union of this morning pub
fishes two notes from General Scott, the first
dated in 1916 and the second in 1S47. In the
first General Scott repels, with dignity and great
severity, certain offensive language used towards
him by the person to whom he writes; in the
second he expresses to third person the pleasure
he feels at having made friend Of that person.
What the Union expects to make of these letters
is more than we can divine. A hungry dog often
steals and secretes dry bone in the hope that it
may serve him some good purpose when still
closer pinched. There certainly is some vague
yearnng among the more bitter Of the locofocracy,
that induces them to scent, and turn over, and
secrete every fragment in this way, in the hope
that the alchemy Of jaundiced spirit and the
corroding effect Of defamation may render it fit
for some vile use. But many years have passed
since, both in public and in private, such desires
have been manifested towards General Scott and
yet his happiness has not been overshadowed
and his unsullied fame lives, and will forever
live, among the brightest herritages of his
country

GanblinxI

The latest charge against Gen. Scott is con
tanned in Loco papers just come to hand, and its
import is that instead Of preventing gambling in
the city Of Mexico he merely made the keeper OF
each gaming house pay heavily for his license.
AS this charge will not be fused over by any
who practice, or did then practice, gambling,
licensed or unlicensed we take it for granted
that the Locos, OF good and pure morals, may
henceforth be easily known.
On recent occasion the Washington Union
complained grievously Of what it regarded as
certain Glow charges" made against General
Pierce, and threatened to "carry the war into
Africa !" We have no notion Of crossing the Rubi-
con. We will stand on our own side Of the
stream when war Of defamation is to be waged
beyond it, 1t may be to the tastes of the Union
and its associates to carry such war into Africa.
Indeed, it may be to them task of pleasure.
Let them not be hindered.
IT is known to all who know anything on the
subject, that the laws of this District do not
license gambling, but totally forbid it. 1t is also
known that any man who can use a sling as well
as could the slayer of Goliah, can stand in Ger
tain position on Pennsylvania avenue and break
the windows of six very extensive gambling
houses. In the city of Mexico precisely the same
state of things existed; and, in the army, kings,
queens, and Jacks were very familiar personages.
Whether Gen. Scott acted wisely in instituting
laws that could be enforced when others had been
in vain attempted, we shall not stop to inquire.
There are two sides to the question, and we can
well tolerate the advocates of both not doubling
their wisdom and honesty. 1t is possible also
that Gen. Scott will continue to be favorably re-
garded by the people of this country, even after
this terrible exposition, and especially when it is
known, as it readily may be, that to suppress
gambling was the object next his heart.
We shall leave the subject, however, for a day
or two, when we expect to hear from the same
sources that he made lenient gambling laws
purely for his own qualification, and was often
seen in the thells" Of Mexico playing, drinking,
brawling, and fighting. A bad man is that Gen.
Winfield Scott, and greatly does he grieve his
moral and law-loving adversariesl

The Position or Mr.. Webster.


"Ion," of the Baltimore Sun, presumed to be
object of what is called the Webster movement is
now professed ut is to form the nucleus Of u
'true national and constitutional party. The
preservation Of the present party divisions, and
even names, after the coming Presidential cleo
'tion, cannot be expected The party divisions
sand names must represent with more truthful
mess the actual state of parties. A State rights
party, constitutional and national party, and an
'anti-slavery party, will be the three chief divi-
'sions political parties and there will probably
be, in addition to these, an nconsiderable party,
who will cling to the extreme and obsolete doc
'trines Of the old Wing party, all Of which were
abandoned or much modified by the platform OF
the late Wing National Convention"
1t is remarkable that a drunken man always
sees others stagger, and one seated in a railroad
car is astonished at the dancing forests through
which he passes 1t is sometimes so with poll
ticians. Each one knows that he can never
change and even mourns to look upon the sad
mutation Of the world around him Daniel
Webster, standing on an ocean washed rock, with
plaed brow and unmoved heart, surveys this
tickle world so long familiar to his eye, and with
the melancholy Dane exclaims-
"The times are out of Joint; oh cursed spite
That ever Twas born to set them right"
The Philadelphia Sun, spirited and energetic
Native american paper, contains many well written
editorials Of the tenor indicated by Ion. The
number we open this morning contains long
article with the following heading:
The Want of Distinctive Principles in the
Wing and Democratic Parties, and the Duty Of
Americans in the Presidential Contest"

DimcuItiss with the Negroes In Illinois

The st. Louis Evening News says gentleman
from Carlisle, in Illinois, states that few days
since difficulty arose at that place between
some citizens and party Of free negroes. 1t
grew out of fight that took place between ne
gro boy and a son of ex-senator Breese. The
father of the negro boy inerfered, and gave Judge
Breese's SON a beating. Others interfered, and
party after party became involved on each side,
until the excitement became general. The cit-
zens took the negroes who had first offended, tied
them up and whipped them. Three other ng-
groes who had somehow signalized themselves in
the difficulty, were served in like manner. Some
Of the citizens, in the course of the excitement
loaded cannon with several pounds Of buck
shot, and fred it at negro house. There were
only two occupants in it at the time, one of whom
received slight injury. The negroes were or
dered to leave the place in three days, and threat
ened with similar treatment if they failed to
comply.

i" The times are out of Joint; oh cursed spite
That ever was born TO set them right !"
The Words OF a True Old Whig.


A most estimable and worthy old Wing in Nor
folk county, Va, writes to his friend in this city
as follows:
'Call upon my friend Connolly, the editor Of
the TELEGRAPH Tell him we work together
with good heart. Tell him / cannot believe
that any lover of his country, who is rightly in
formed, can vote against 50 true patriot, so
gallant soldier, SO wise statesman as Winfield
Scott-one whom world admires for his chival-
ry, justice, and generosity In diplomacy he has
no superior-no, not even Daniel Webster him
self. In honor he is without blemish. Had
either Webster, or our oacn faDorite, Fillmore,
been the nominee Of the Convention, Gen. Scott
would at once have declared in his favor Honor
would have repealed from his breast the slightest
shade of envy, had it fallen there, and he would
as ever have been true TO the noble sentiments Of
his heart But sicken at the thought that any
man who was ever deemed worthy Of the conf
dence of the Wing party, whether he is disap-
pointed in procuring subordinate place or the
Presidency itself, can so degrade himself, and SO
lightly hold his fair fame, to withhold his vote
or his influence from the chosen man of that
party from motives so mean and base. The num-
Der of disaffected Wings Of this class is small
with US. Our party is in good condition and in
good hopes in this locality. We will do our duty.

The Great Denomination In Baltimore
Last Night

The Wing procession, the meeting in the square,
the illumination and adornment Of the stand, the
transparencies, the pyrotechnic displays, the mu-
sic, and the speaking probably exceeded anything
Of the kind ever witnessed in that city, and the
enthusiastic spirit of the Wings went far beyond
even these. Among the speeches, that made by
the Hon. r. W. THOMPSON, of Indiana, is spoken
of as one of almost Unprecedented power and
beauty.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL, 1852
To LAWRENCE B. TAYLOR, Esq,
Mayor, &c., Alexandria, Va.
SIR: have been served with a notice TO APP
pear before you this day, TO attend TO the taking
Of the dispositions of John b. Barragan Panta-
leon Galyan, and others, witnesses for the United
Stairs in q certain cause pending in the criminal
court Of the District Of Columbia, on the chan
Gerry side thereof, wherein the United States is
complainant and i am defendant,
On the 23d Of August was notified to appear
before the Mayor Of the city Of Washington to
take the dispositions Of the same witnesses in the
same cause. Since then / have been with my
counsel in daily attendance at the Mayors office
in this city, engaged in attending to the taking
of dispositions in said cause. The witnesses
named in your notice TO me were all here, and
continued up TO yesterday. | reside here, my
counsel reside here, the papers in said cause are
here, and / was amazed yesterday when | was
served with your notice. The Mayor of the city
of Washington was and is ready to 20 on with
the taking Of the dispositions, and there Is
no reasons why the government should seek
to transfer the taking Of them TO the State
Of Virginia The proceeding is eminently yexa-
tious and oppressive. 1t is clear that counsel In
Alexandria cannot be procured, who can, in this
brief space, become fully acquainted with the
case The Government having, upon a mere
suspicion, taken possession Of my whole fortune,
is fully informed that have not money to en-
ploy counsel there, and the counsel have here
are under no obligation to 60 there.
l am the more earnest and anxious in this
matter because, in my own judgment, and in the
opinion of my counsel, as understand them, the
testimony of the witness on whom the prosecu-
ton mainly relies, Jose Antonio Barragan, has
been fully and completely balanced, If not de-
stroyed, by his cross-examination here.
therefore solemnly protest against this pro.
ceeding, so unjust, vexatious, oppressive, and il
legal, and upon the grounds | have stated, de-
cline to appear, and beg you will return this pr
per as part of the proceedings.
Respectfully, &C., &C.,
