General Scott, including some forty years of mill

as we have ever heard, concerning his pecuniary
relations with the Government. He has received
such compensation as the law allowed, and there
the matter ended. 1t was reserved for a Kentucky
Senator to move special inquiry into things
whica called for investigation, and thus to at.
tempt to throw suspicion upon high minded
man and faithful servant of the Republic for the
simple fault Of being required by his friends and
country men to stand as candidate for the Presi

be a convenient saluo to some who hold the rem

doings which, in any other line of life, would be
counted by themselves discreditable and dishonest

GuANo ON TOBACCO LANp--A farmer of St.
Mary's county, Maryland, has informed the editor
OF the Ltonardtown Beacon that he has in tobacco
piece OF land of % 600 hills on which guano has
been applied, which he is satisfied will yield him
OF least 5000 pounds, and that some Of his neigh
bors think that the yield will greatly exceed that
quantity. The Beacon says:
Without the guano, the land he thinks would
not have produced more than 700 pounds The
quantity Of guano applied was about 900 pounds.
The land prepared usual for striking up' fur.
were then run with large plough at three feet
distance, and the guano was scattered therein; the
land was then beaded over the burrows, the beds
were rolled, and the tobacco was planted about
twenty inches apart. The effects of the gnano, he
says were pcrceptblo by the time the tobacco had
plants exceed in size any that ne has heretofore
grown, and he is one of Our moot successful
planttrs." ...

Banking In Warrington.

The article we published yesterday from
the New York Journal Of Commerce indicates
the urgent necessity of such Legislation by Con
gress as will break up the irredeemable paper
shops which are so degrading our currency and
disgracing our District.
There are sound specie paying banks in
Washington, whose bills may be safely re-
ceived and circulated. They are restricted
from the issue of any bills, notes, or obliga
nation under five dollars. These institutions
are the Bank of Washington, the Bank Of the
Metropolis, and the Patriotic Bank
The notes under five dollars issued in this
city are individual issues, purporting to be
redeemable in the notes of other banks. Such
is mere shaving paper. 1t is good only by tol-
erance. People take it because it is forced
into circulation by all manner of expedients,
which drive out the better currency. Here,
at the seat of the Treasury of the United
States, it was contemplated by those who
passed the laws prohibiting the chartered
banks from issuing bills under five dollars,
that the smaller circulation should be exclu-
sivey gold and silver. So it would be were
ii not for these pestlent brokers' shops and in
dividual establishments uttering their irredeem
able paper.
We understand that there are some good
men-"sufficient" men-engaged in this bust
ness. The public cannot discriminate between
the good and the bad. The bills are all bad
for they are not an equivalent for gold and sill
ver They are not convertible into specie
and immediate convertibility into specie is the
only test Of paper that enters into the cur
rency.
Let every man of business refuse these is
sues. Let every journeyman who comes fol
his wages on Saturday night refuse to take
any thing but gold and silver. If employers
think to get shave out of them by payment
in deprecated or in inconvertible paper, lie,
them ask for what they are entitled to receive
Such trash as these rags is not the hire OF
which the laborer is worthy. 1t is no compe-
tent or legal payment
1t the community will act upon these priu-
ciples, we shall soon rid our purses Of this
"perilous stuff" MIR. BENros's "gold hum
bug" was only to some intents humbug
Thanks TO CALIFORNIA, we are now able to
realize his widest dreams of gold currency
but "private banking" with the parade of pre-,
siden,s and cashiers, is smothering US with
irredeemabIe paper.
We know nothing about these establish
ments We were never inside one Of them il
our life, to our knowledge. We speak there
fore of the system, with no regard to individu
ais. The system is built up in defiance Of thu
laws, and if existing laws are not sufficient Il
arrest the spreading and alarming evil, Con
gress ought to take the matter in hand at tn,
very next session, and adopt the necessar,
legislation.

To PREsRRvE GIRpLED TREEs---A correspond

may be preserved by the following means: "Take
out a block Of wood extending into the bark above
and below the girdlc, and take from the body or
limb Of another tree block corresponding in size
and shape, with the bark on, and adjust il in the
place, and bind it there, on the principle of en-
grating" This plan, II is said, has proved com
petely successful. ~

for the crop in this county is greatly improv-

From the Memphis Eagle and Enquirer.
A Very Small business,

We publish to-day the resolution OF Mr.. Meri-
weth,r, the new Senator from Kentucky, appoint
ed by Governor Powell, and the action of the SEN
ate thereon. The object, it will be seen, is to fig
ure up the gross amount of money which General
Scott has received in the shape of pay. This s
about the smallest piece of pltiably small dema-
goguism that we have yet seen. But it has its
uses 1t shows the desperate straits to which the
enemies of the war-worn old soldier reduced
in the present canvass. Hopeless, indeed, must a
cause be which requires the Democratic majority
of he Senate to descend from their high duties to
engage in the paltry business of manufacturing
party materials for the use of croes-road dema-
gogues and pot house politicians in order to boil
ster it up! There is not, venture to affirm, q
decent Democrat in the land who is not, in his Sc
cret heart, ashamed of the entire movement.
Hon. MIR. Clemens, the Democratic Senator from
Alabama, uttered the sentiment Of every high
minded American citizen when he repudiated the
paltry electioneering device, by declaring that
she cared but little about the whole matter. He
thought General Scott nsrer received any more than
he ,pas entitled to, indeed half so much az he
deserpsd." We counsel our Wing friends to keep
the sketch Of the debate, which will be found in
another column. They will find in it, in the testi-
mony of MIR. Clemens and Com. Stockton, ample
material with which to spike this Locofoco pop
gun of the Kentucky pro TEN. Senator. The Louis.
Vile Journal, referring to this matter, s'ys:
1--WE do not know whether Mr.. Mcriwether
career in public life will be long short, but, be
ing personal friend OF HE, we can express for him
no kinder hope than that he will be able to refiec
ut his retire ment that he has rendered as much
service to the country, proportion to the money
paid him, as General Winfield Scott"

compliment. Mr.. ADAMS spoke with .npha-
sis of the great services of General Scorr in

Mr.. HARRISON, Democrat, opposed the

thought Washington was the most suitable

sary.

that it was lowing to the gallantry and

self that there was no danger Of the PROPOSE
{ ton being adopted but he would entreet

reduce the pay of the major general to $3.50 a

MIGHTY Risks FOR A TaIFLINd GAIN. - The
great disproportion of the certain risk with the
possible gain, which is incurred by the captains
Of the Atlantic steamers in their criminal attempts
to approach as near as possible to Cape Race, has
been frequently alluded to in this paper in terms
of earnest Reproduction. But it may be that cx-
act statement OF the possible amount of advantage
to be derived from their hazardous adventures will
be the most successful eloquence. An accurate
computation shows that the whole amount by
which the distance from Cape Clear in ireland, to
Nantucket, can be shortened from the path in
which a ship might sail, and not approach nearer
than sixty miles to Cape Race, cannot possibly be
more than ten miles! These immense riaks have,
then been run only to effect saving Of ten miles!
Have the commanders Of the steamers known this
fact go easy to be ascertained; or have they been
reckessly ignorant of their profession?
