To the Editor Of Tie Union:
have just seen the proceedings of meeting OF the
wing members OF the Legislature of the State OF Della
ware. recommending General Scott the wing candidate
for President In recounng his services 10 the country,
they say He has fought and more battles than any
soldier the nation produced On the tablets OF his
tory stand deeply engraved The gioriss Of the Heights Of
Queenstown. OF Chippewa, OF Niagara, OF Vera Cruz, OF
Ceno Gordo, Conreras, Churubusco, Moline del Rey,
Cbcpuliepec and the city OF MexIco and there they will
stand forever The nine aforementioned battles will be
remembered by chidrens children among the most
brilliant Of counys victories: and the hrst on the
list though il subjected Winfield Scott to the suerings
OF captive subdusd by disparity OF force,
would alone transmit his to posteriiy as patriot
and hero"
No one more admres General SCOTS military talents
and reputation than do; but there is necessity,
in recounng his services TO present them in way 10
overshadow the services and reputation OF any other
General Scott would give counienance TO such at
tempt and presume his Delaware friends have not in
tended do So what they say ofhe battle Of Queens
town Heights Gen Wool the hero Of that battle; and,
when consider that national honor had already
been furnished by the surrender OF Hull and that clouds
and darkness hung the contest the battle Of Queens
town will forever stand out IN bold relief az one OF the
most brilliant events of the with Great Britain. II
redeemed the national character which had been de-
graded at the very commencement of the war; and
gave new life, and hope, and energy TO all our sub
sequent operations. II happened to fall TO the lot of
Wool to retrieve, at this eventiu crisis the waning for
tunes OF the country, and TO "puck up its drowned honor
by the locks" In the engagement which took place on

DECISION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES BAsK-The
supreme court OF Pennsylvania, on Thursday, affirmed
two judgments OF iha district court in suits brought
by the Commonwealth against the United States Bank
the actual bonus secured IN the charter the
State of 100000 due for nine years. The bank re.
sisted the claim. the ground that i had ceased ex
crcise the functions and franchises Of banking and had
assigned all its property trust Tor its creditors The
eah insisted that the stockholders annually
elected directors, and frequently held meetings. they had
not given up the franchises granted by the State and
that the bank was therefore, bound TO pay the ANNA
bonus demanded The supreme court sustained this po
sition and the State has, therefore, settled claim agans
the bank for 81 100000.

For the linton.
Report on the National Defsnses OF tho Country.
On the Sd OF March, 1851, resolution was passed by
the House Of Representatives calling upon the honorable
Secretary Of War to report upon the subject of the land
deences OF the country and to give his opinion to the
proprety Of continuing the system heretofore pursued
The Secretary has fulfilled the duty imposed upon him
by submitting his able report OF December IS, 1851 This
report accompanied by various others from officers
of engineers and the navy, who had been called upon by
the Secretary 10 expIsss their views The subject We
might well be contened TO rest upon that reporto the
Secretary His general views have met the appreciation
Of all candid men conversant with the subject. II has
doubtless already been widely circulated throughout the
land and been appreciated by all who have read it. The
subordinate reports accompanying it cannot in all proba-
biy, have met with the same widespread circulation,
except perhaps that of the chief engineer General Tot
ten. OF all the rest, that OF Commander L. +. Dupont
has, amongst those who have made the subject OF our
permanent deences the study OF their lives, met with the
highest appreciation. 1t is regarded being the most
catholic" exposition OF the question: il is to the high
est degree enlarged and liberal in its views il is written
by who remembers merely that he is in the service
OF his country and who forgets, for the time whether
his field OF action be the ocean wave or the fixed
land He has given most clear relation Of the distinc,
well the relative functions OF forts and ships So
high is the opinion entertained of it that il has been
thought well worth while TO republish it, in order TO
insure it extensive circulation and widespread peru
SAL We would suggest TO all who have any desire to
understand the true merits of the study the report
OF Commander Dupont.
