General Scott has done great military services for
his country he deserves-richly deserves-the posi-
ton the head of that army, which he holds; was
in favor of creating higher postion-the office oil
lieutenant general-tha he might be promoted to 1t.
Suppose provision had been made by law for that
Office, once filled by Washington and then suppose
that the President and Senate had, upon consultation,
come the conclusion that Daniel Webster, as re-
ward for his civil services, be made lieutenant gene
raj; how would the conqueror of Mexico have rel
ished that nomination? Very much, imagine, as
the great statesman of the country would relish his
nomination to the presidency.
am very much afraid that my friend, Gen. Scott,
in the event supposed, would ask" Where shall
goa" And if he could answer this question salts
factory to himself. would decide that he had served
his country, long patriotism required, and was
at liberty to resign.
AS to Mr.. Webster himself, nothing him,
in my judgment. but profound silence. What can he
say? 1t is poor consolation to telhm that he is too
elevated for the Office that the people cannot apPre-
ciate him? 1t is insult to say you are too unpoP-
uar; for the answer is ready-how you know
that? You gave me trial; and as for indi-
cations of unpopularity, short of actual popular
thousands crowd around me wherever go.
There considerations which should be most
happy discuss, if this communication had not al
ready been unreasonaby extended, which prove con-
clusively to my mind that the real intention of the
ruling spirits in that convention was, by the nomina-
ton Of General Scott and the rejection of NJ. Web
and Mr. Fillmore, to destroy the national WING
party. AN OLD WING.

Baffied in open warfare, they will resort to Sc.

Steamboat Disasters in 1851

The St Louis InteIigencer publishes list
of steamboat disasters ON the Western Rivers
in 1851. The whole number Of accidents of
serious character is forty eight. OF these 90
were caused by striking snags and other OBJ
structidns in the river Eight were the result
of explosions, six of collisions, five of fire, and
the remaining two boats were sunk in storm
The aggregate loss of life in the forty six dis
asters, is computed at 227. OF these were
theresult Of sinking. two of fire. sixty eight OF
collisions, and one hundred and forty eight Of
explosions. The greatest loss of life in any
single instance, was at the time of the explo-
sion of the Oregon, in March last, at Island
Eighty five in the lower Mississippi, when from
forty to fifty Eve souls perished. The destruc-
ton of property we have no means of ascer-
taining with any degree of correctness, but
including al minor accidents it cannot fall
short of million of dollars
Twentw six of the disasters it will be seen
were from snags! If a small portion of the
money that has been wasted in washington
annually, had been expended in the West
these disasters would not have happened.

Gov. Wood and Bank Taxes.

The Hamilton Telegraph is strongly incliu-
ed to curry down Gov Wood with the rough
end of a brick-bat, for his Excellency's suppos
ed leaning towards justice to the banks. Hear
how the editor lectures the Governor:
We have seen circular from the Hon.
John Woods, Auditor of State, to the county
treasurers, in which they are requested not to
commence proceedings against the bands for
their taxes, under the law of st March, 1851
And Auditor Woods says this is to give them
an opportunity of testing the constitutionality
of the law in the Supreme Court, and that it
has been done with the consent of Coz. Wood
aud the Attorney General Now why should
proceedings for these taxes be stayed in the
case of these refractory banks! Would it be
done for an individual who was anxious to test
the validity of a tax law? No one believes it
would. Gov. Wood should have let the law
take Its course, and he viii find that be has
made few friends by meddling in this matter
for the accommodation Of these corporations
