GENsaAL Scorr's SPEEcHEs.-The Boston 1ran
script, an independent paper, the editor of which
is personal friend of General Pierce, contains
the following just remarks upon the recent speeches
of General Scott:
owe have looked through these brief addresses
in vain to find the defects which some of our
temporaries seem TO detect in them. They are
such plain, off hand, unstudied remarks as any
man might make whose life had been spent less in
literary studies than in the tented field And yet
we are told by those who know General Scott in
timatsly that he is man of extensive attainments
in reading, and that few of our public men are 80
generally well informed, or have at their com.
mand SO large fund Of facts of every day utility
The gift of the gab,' to use vulgar but not in.
expressive phrase, is criterion of mans abili.
ties qualifications executive officer even in
a civil capacity. Some of the grea est statesmen
have been such mere stammerers in their speech
that any glib pettifogger could appear to more ad-
vantage, and pass for the better man among the
unreflecting. We do not believe that the assai
ants of General Scott can harm him by criticisng
his speeches; for ninety. nine men out of one hum
dred will say-T could have done no better myself;
probably not 30 well'"

"iShanghai Shsep.-Sheep all the way from China;
good reader! Something Of q novelty. that. We
are accustomed, thanks to Yankee adventure, to
the terms, Shanghai chickens, Shanghai eggs, &c y,
but had no idea that the subjects of the Brother
of the Sun and ifty.third Cousin of the Moon had
any knowledge OF the value of the wool clip or the
taste of mutton chops. One would imagine that
Chinese sheep would be like every thing else that
is Chinese-queer, odd, quizzical But no such
thing. These two lambs-for they are young
'uns-are quite as simple, and woolly, and dirty,
and respectable looking az the most civilized of
their European or American brethren. It's of no
use saying, Chow chow or 'Tchi XII to them;
they don't understand the green tea language A
long voyage they have had of 1t from Shanghai, on
the other side of the globe, to New York-which is
already trip long enough to brighten any decent
Sheppard then from New York to this city of
denominations. They appear to take it quite quiet
ly, however, and thoroughly to understand the diff
ference between people who wear tight indspen-
sables and those who sport baggy ones. The two
innocent little big lambs propose emigrating to
the praries of Texas shortly, and we expect to
hear OF their lying down peaceably in the same
flock with Mexican and Vermont specimens fther
