TERRIBLE.-Some upstart, who itappears
was once an officer of the army, has COM
munication in the st. Louis Democrat ira
ducing Gen. Scott He institutes several
queries as to what induced the Whig Con-
vention to nominate the General. Among
others is his:
"Was it the wisdom, philanthropy, and
soldier-like General order No. So, of 1912,
in which he recognized the right of the SOL
der to correspond directly with the commdn-
der-in-chief Of the army, without the delay of
submitting grievance to his company, post,
regimental or department commander"
Grave offence, this, to allow common soldiers
to make direct complaint to the commander
in-chief of abuse OF their rights and persons
by subordinate officers! Shouldn't wonder
| if ifthousands of these same "common soldiers
recollected this and other kind attentions O.

A New NosE.-Mr. Edward Clarke, OF
Pittsburg, published a statement describing
u new nose, made for him by Dr. Pancoast
of that city, to supply the one he had lost
some l6 years ago. A piece of flesh from
the forehead was sewed into the cheeks; q
gutta percha mould of his fathers nose was
placed over it to give it the proper shape, ant
gold tubes we're inserted for the nostrils.-
He says he has now a new nose, sound ant
well-formed, with the senses Of feeling ant
smell as fine as they every were.

The AUGUST ELEcTToEs.--The Cleveland
Herald summing up the result of the August
elections and showing that the victory claim
ed by Locofocoism in North Carolina is no
victory at all, adds; -a.
"Now look at young and gallant Iowa.
What is the matter there! Isn'tit "that
ball!"--and do you think you can stop ii?
One Wing member of Congress certain and
probably the entire Congressional delega-
ton Wing, with good prospect of Wing
Legislature, giving us another Wing Sena-
tor In place of Hon. G w. Jones!
Then Missouri! How does it happen that
the only two Simon Pure Locofoco members
of the present Hohse of Representatives are
beaten by two straight out Scott Wings!
Locofucoism it would seem is almost eradi-
Gated from old Missouri; for the delegation
in the next Congress will stand two Wings,
two Benton men, and Col. Benton himself.
In addition to all this, the rumor seems to be
current that Old Bullion will soon declare for
the Old Thunderer of Lundy's Lane!
To our friends everywhere we say, these
are auspicious indications. Only let the
same spirit pervade the great Wing party
which now animates it, and u victory worthy
Of our great Cheftain and our cause, will as
suredly reward u.s."

Our RAILRoAD.-The Cincinnati Gazette
says that it is perfectly willing to notice the
"progress" of our railroad. The citizens OF
the Queen City, we suppose, will be equally
willing to receive the benefits of the trade
and travel from this section of the country
which will be thrown into that city by its
construction.

INDIAN CORN AND IRISH PoTAToEs.-The
English papers last received represent the
sudden Temperance of the potato rot
The signs were developed Immediately after
the great thunderstorm of July 22d, the
leaves and stems in the vicinity of London
appearing withered and burnt. A Liverpool
paper states tfot in that neighborhood the
disease, in all G aes, has been unusually rap
id in action; tubers which had been perfectly
sound ten days before, had since been cut of
by the blight. No report, as yet, of the pro-
gress of the disease in Ireland.
Should the visitation of this potato rot
prove general one to Great Britain and
Ireland, there will be increased demand for
Indian corn from this during the fall and
winter, and the growing cropin many sec
tions of the West is not as promising as
usual The supplies of corn now in London
and Liverpool are light, and the Shipments
from the United States have been nearly
one-thrd less than last year. Clere. Her.

commodated. The Hendrick Hudson, on

the host OF imitators, who have been constantly

ness with which every new idea that he suggests Is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not

| The enterprising publishers have here presents d
to the legal profession, as we judge, long -ielt
desidrdtum-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series OF reports of all the decisions Of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the case
of the November term, 1850; and we observe IN the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminst' r
Hall on the Both January, 1851. This ID unparal-
leed despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here eight two years nearer 20
US than our own court house. The style in whit h
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with 1t.
The page is large, fair, white and readable. The
table of and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes us as
exec uted very useful plan, referring not only
10 the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring TO American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price of s 10 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample rcmuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession,
Such n publication, VIC think. cannot fail to be
useful to the profession and profitable to the pub
