General Scott.

There was considerable crowd at the Calvert
station yesterday morning to witness the depart
ure of General SCoTT for the West on the business
of Government. On appearing on the platform
of the car he was greeted with three cheers; and
we had the pleasure OF viewing his noble form
and manly countenamcc for the first time in our
lives, though under his command for a short pc
riod in 1914 in this city.
'As we never expect to receive either a loaf or
fish from him. in case of his election to the Pres
ldency, we have no personal motive to induce us
to praise hlm-but we must say that were we
disposed to be his enemy. the foul charges and
iabrlcatlons which have been published against
HIM would warm our hearts towards him. AS a
general, we doubt whether his equal lives and as
honest. humane and honorable man. he can
stand comparison with any man. The testimo-
ny OF those who have served under him proves
that IN performing the stern duties of the COM
n1andlng general, he never lost the humane feel
ings of the man. We have heard narratives of
his gentleness. tenderness. and humanity towards
the sick and wounded which brought tears into
the eyes of the speaker: and disconnected from all
political considerations. could not repress our
love tor the man. Some Of the most admirable
traits in the character of Napoleon were his kind
ness to his men, but in this particular he has been
surpassed by General Scott-who visited. soothed,
and relieved the sick even at the risk of his own
life. Such humanity on tie part OF a successful
genera!-Such regard for the welfare of the COM
mon sodier-cannot fail to exalt him in public
estimation far above the reach of talstiers and
slanderers, who would tarnsh his glory as a mill
tary chieftain, and his reputation as private
gentleman. Maligmty may essay to stigmatize
General Scott with cowardice, fraud, &C.; but the
American people, whether they elect him to the
Presidency or not will never cease to feel CRATE
ul for the great services which he has rendered to
the country. Baltimore Clipper.

few minutes for omnibus. The attendant,
stepping out, left Mr.. Sheldon alone for short
time, and upon returning, found him sitting in his
chair, lifeless, his still in his hand and his
cigar in his mouth During the day several of
the neighbors called to see the corpse through
curiosity and among others Mrs. Shievers, wife
of Chas. w. Shievers and such was the shock to
her feelings, from looking at the corpse, that she
was thrown into spasms, and died few hours
afterwards. She was awoman of about 80 years,

short time since, account of the death OF 4 gen.
tleman named Schafer who resided in German
town, Ohio, and who was SO heavy that It required
six men to take him from the bed on which he
died. We should have been pleased to have known
how much he weighed, in order that we might have
ascertained whether he carried off the palm from
Daniel Lambert hitherto supposed to be the largest
man that ever lived. This latter weighed fftythree
stone, that is to say seven hundred and forty-two
pounds, and died at the early age of thrty-six.-
His strength, Though Of course unwieldy, was al
most proportionate to his size, and he was the
greatest swimmer since the day of Leander, if ne
did not even surpass that lovs-loru youth. 1t is
doubtful, indeed, whether all the waters of the
Helespont could have drowned him, for his bub-
Der would not allow him TO sink. He hoated for
hours at time, upon the water, as though it were
his natural element, with more tendency TO the
bottom, than cork would have had. He was an
object of great curiosity to every body who visited
his town, and was exceedingly sensitive upon the
subject Of his size, the impertinence of visitors
noyed him beyond measure. He died of fat
