Caution TO the Pub bile

An anonymous card Of the 9th instant, headed
''Bank of the Union," was posted up in the NEST
public parts Of the city on Saturday, containing
an invitation to the holders Of the notes Of that
Bank to present them for payment at the Office
Of the Third Auditor on Monday.
1t is right 70 inform the public that no autho-
rity was given from the Third Auditor for such
notice, and that tits, therefore, in common par
lance, a hoax. This ] am authorized by him to
say.
1t is hoped that the holders Of the notes Of the
above named Bank will have forbearance and pa
thence, both for their own interests, and for the
sake Of justice to innocent parties so far as their
losses or inconvenience may be concerned, who
suffer already, deeply, from the unexpected dis
nster which has befallen their near relative.
They assert their confidence in his integrity, and
hope ia the eventual sufficency of his resources
to meet his liabilities The Trustees will make q
prompt examination Of the condition of the Bank,
and report the result for the information Of all
concerned.
The justice Of this community, which has here
tofors distinguished its public action, IL now con-
fdently appealed to, in behalf of an honorable
and estimable man, whose csnduct as citizen,
rs we'll as public officer in highly responsible
station, has equally secured the respect of those
who know him. This appeal Is made by one
who, common sufferer to small extent, de-
sires TO promote alike the interest Of the note.
holders--to guard the honor Of our commusity
from stain, and to avert additional suffering from
those who feel q pain from this misfortune far
greater than that inflicted by pecuniary loss

The speeche. of Gen. scott.

Unable TO refute or to Withstand the influence
Of the eloquent and manly addresses delivered by
Gen. Scott in the West, the Washington Union
and other desperate and reckless journals have
endeayored to deny that he delivered them and
the Cleveland Plaindealer, whose editor was not
present, appears to be the chief authority on
which they depend. How reliable that depend
ence is may be learned from the remarks Of the
Columbus (ohio) Journal: General Scott"
says the Journal, "knew nothing of the attack
upon him till Judge Heyl called his attention to
it, in the hall of tho Neil House, just before the
General was about to enter the coach, on his
way to Circleville and Chillicothe. There were
"a large number of persons present, and they
distinctly heard the glowing, eloquent, and in
dignant words that fell from his lips. The whole
scene was one OF the finest and most sublime
character The historic associations Of the
man, as he stood towering above the tallest of
his sudience-the nature Of the charge, i'm
'pugning as it did the tenor of his entire life
all coBspired to give intense interest to the
event. Those who we're fortunate enough to be
present will never forget the burning words Of
indignant eloquence with which he repealed the
: base charge. If any one in any portion of the
Union has Q doubt about the character Of the
transaction, or the faithfuness Of the speech as
reported, let him address letter to Judge
Heyl Gen. Stockton, COL Swayne, Mr.. Perry,
(postmaster,) or Il. B. Darlington, esq, all of
whom were present and heard the speech, and
all Of whom are men Of character above and
beyond impeachment and an answer from
either Of them, or from any other person who
was present, will give the assurance zoe have
given, that the speech as reported is very accu-
rate. A large number we're present at the time,
among them several Germans Indeed, nobody
in Columbus who has character TO lose, dares
to deny the faithful accuracy of our report
That speech is destined to immortality. II will

GIvEN's DISTRICT, KAN. Co. I
September %. 1852.

Mr.. NEwToN---Dear Sir: The undersigned OBJ.
serving our names on the Democratic Vigilance
Committee for this county, and published in the
Western Virgnian, feel it due to ourselves to say
that in this contest we intend to assist in eleva-
ting to the Presidential chair WINFIELD SCOTT,
the old war-worn hero--the tried patriot--the
sympathizing friend Of the sick and wounded
soldiers. We are fully persuaded that the man
who has shown his devotion to the Union, the
whole Union, through more than forty years Of
public seryice-the man who has never on any
occasion fed nor faltered when his country
called-and who has shown himself equal to any
and every emergency, may be safely trusted as
as he does on the great
principles which have heretofore, and, as he
asserts, will continue to be the rules Of his politi-
cal faith.
We, therefore, hope we shall be excused by
our friends from serving on their Vigilance Com
mittee, and that our names will be withdrawn
therefrom.
Very respectfully.

"yagabondizing Editors,,

The New York Herald singles out the names Of
few Whg editors who have dared to make po-
litical speeches to the public, and says:
"When editors forsake their Offices and bust
ness and proper occupations to indulge in the
vanity and folly Of nouthing through the coun-
try, like vulgar politicians, 1t may be considered
premonitory symptom that the newspaper es.
adjustments to which they are attached are in q
condition Of decrepitude and decline, and in Q
fair way Of giving up the ghost"
We quote these words for the edifcation Of our
Loco friends hereabout. We could name several
editors Of Loco papers, who are also receiving
salaries in the public service, and yet who find
time to toddle and twattls through the country in
the cause Of the hero Pierce! Does the wash.

Another Murder in baltimore.

Some young men, who had been out with q
wagon to procure pole or flagstaff for their pc.
itical party, and were returning into the city Of
Baltimore at o'clock yesterday morning, entered
the premises of colored man named James
Smith, on hearing them, came to the door and
asked what they wanted, when one of them shot
him with pistol. Smith staggered back q few
PAGES and died at his wifes feet! The murderer
has not been detected.

Well take our hsrps from OF the willow
To tune the praise Of Gin'ral Pillow
And then well strike the trombone fierce,
To thunder out for 6in'ral Pierce;
But brass and cstgut both are tame,
To sound abroad these heroes fame,
which, pdyi posni, runs along,
To swell the trembling notes OF song,
And scarce can Yankee guessing tell,
which Gin'rsl doth his peer excel;

To make the contrast doth refuse,
Strains forth her powers and breaks o brsech,

Tho sabbath He'll.
BY ELIZA COOK.

Peal on, peal on--I love to hear
The old church ding dong soft and clear
The welcome sounds are doubly blest
With future hope and earthly rest
Yet were no calling changes round,
There's not place where man may dwell
But he can hear Sabbath bell.
Go to the woods when winters song
Howls like famished wolf along,
Or when the south winds scarcely turn
The light leaves Of the trembling fern
Although the cloister chimes ring there,
The heart Is called to faith and prayer,
For all creations voices tell
The tIdings Of the Sabbath bell.
Go to the pillows, let them pour
In gentle calm or headlong roar;
Let the vast ocean be thy home.
Thou'lt find God upon the foam;
In ripping swell or stormy roll
The crystal waves shall wake thy soul;
And thou shalt feel the hallowed spell
OF the wide waters Sabbath bell.
The lark upon his skyward way,
The robin on the hedge-way spray,
The bee within the wild rhymes bloom,
The owl amid the cypress gloom;
All sing, In varied tone,
A vesper to the great unknown;
Above, below, one chorus swells
ofGod unnumbered Sabbath bells

In speech delivered at Tammny Hall, New
York, Gen, Cass, said:
81 know Gen. Scott, and know that he is an
honorable man, and that he has fought the bat
ties of his country, and have not word to say
against him."
So much for Gen. Cass's opinion Of Gen. Scott
as man, patriot, and soldier. Now, as q
politician, what has he to say against him
Every syllable in disparagement we can prove to
apply with equal force to Thomas Jefferson. II
he was Democratic republican, SO is Winfield
Scott.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL.

A Loco exchange quotes the following, as ap-
plicable to Gen. Scott
"Pride goeth before destruction, and naughty
spirit before fall"
We think it is inapplicable; but, without mean
ing any irreverence, believe the following, quoted
by the Henderson (Ky.) Courier, is very apt:
"He that spilleth his blood in battle for his
psopls, shall be made ruler over them"

A MIsER's BEouEsT.-A man who recently
died in England, bequeathed 100000 TO Queen
Victoria. His name was Nield, and the bequest
consists chiefly of land, scattered in various
counties. Nield was barrister at law, and died
in Chelsea, aged ~ years He was possessed Of
an immense fortune, but was of very eccentric
and penurious habits. At the death Of his father,
thirty years since, he came into possession Of
about E250, 900, which sum had not been touched
up to the period Of his death. The deceased was
never known to wear great coat, and would not
allow his dress coat TO be brushed, as 1t would
take off the nap and deteriorate its value. His
appearance and manners led strangers to imagine
that he was in the lowest verge of penury, and
their compassion was excited in his behalf, which
he never failed TO accept when II led to an exhi-
bition Of their benevolence. For some years be-
fore his death, Mr.. Nield scarcely allowed him
self the common necessaries and comforts Of life,
and has left poor old housekeeper, who was
with him for more than twenty-six years, with
out the smallest provision or acknowledgment for
her protracted and far from agreeable or remu-
nerative services. few days before his death,
the deceased told one Of his executors that he
had made most singular will, but MS the prop
srty was his own, he had done as he pleased
