Ing neat and spirited address;
Ladies and Gentlemen !: l introduce to you Gen.

not speak to you Of his fame or his deeds--the
great story is written in your country's history,
cheers, and in view Of the spotless purity Of
This character, and of the motives which have ever
influenced him in the service of his country, may

is written upon your hearts, my countrymen
| Cheers. Something has been said about the
pride and austerity of Gen. Scott-my friends
come up and speak to him--look at him If he
has not . heart as tender, and as generous, as
ever best even upon the generous soil Of old Pick
away then the Almighty has fixed false i'm

say to you that you are WELCOME to the county
of Pickaway Immense cheering
Gen. Scott then came forward and addressed
the assembled multitude as follows:
FellolD Country,aea: am mt a loss for words
to express the emotions which feel on receiving
such welcome from the citizens of Pickaway
county. had frequently heard of the county Of
Pickaway, of the great fertility Of its soil and
gallantry of its people. Enthusiastic cheering.
But had no anticipation Of finding n soil of such
exceeding fertility, as have observed in passing
down your beautiful valley. Nor had the most
remote expectation of meeting such cheering
welcome from the fair countrywomen and gallant
men of Pickaway, as you have been pleased this
day to extend to an old soldier. Cheers.
shall not, my friends, speak to you upon politi-
cal or party topics In obedience to an act OF
Congress, Gen. Wool, Surgeon General Lawson,
and myself, have been ordered to select site in
Kentucky, and near Cincinnati, for an Asylum
or Military Hospital for wornout and intirm sol
diers. both regulars and volunteers. ] am now
passing through your valley, bound to the Blue
Lick, in Kentucky, upon that duty. And in thus
accidentally passing through your county, | am
happy to meet my fellow citizens of all parties
Wings and Democrats, native born and adopted
citizens of this great and free republic, as broth
ers and countrymen. Prolonged cheering. For
my success in the services that it has been my
good fortune to render to my country, and to
which my kind and eloquent friend has referred,
am indebted, my friends, to the gallantry and
courage of my countrymen, cheers, of those
who foughtwith me, both of native and of foreign
birth. Immense cheering. Germans, Irish
men, and other foreigners, have fought side by
side with US upon many battlefield, and from
the beginning to the end of the battle, they have
shown themselves to be as brave, and as strongly
attached to our country and to its institutions,
have the native born. Enthusiastic cheers.
My countrymen, if in the life of soldier there
are privations and hardships, the best recompense
he can have is the appreciation Of his country, and
whatever sutferings and privations | have en-
dured in the public service for period of more
! than forty years, am amply rewarned for them
all by such cheers and CALCULATIONS as greet my
ears this day. [Cheers. In my early youth, l

fare and glory of my country-some service for
the public good-the memory of which should
not die with me-and may not soy that the kind
!; and atfectonate greetings, with which you have
this day received me, are evidences that have
to small 'extent, succeeded in this my early and
ardent desire. Enthusiastic and prolonged

without reference to the future-to any other

soldier. [Cheers. My friends, have but short
