To these must be added the DOUBTFUL

in New Jersey the Democratic Blues are

diana, and Virginia for Scott, may be conf

Gen. Scott, in which he is said to have given
the widow of German who was killed by the
premature discharge of a cannon employed in

The Columbus Statesman, says that at the

by the bad accommodations and bad arrange

Arrangements were made by the stockhold-
