JEFFERSON AND SCOTT. Thomas Jefferson under
stood the character of Winfield Scott.
Indiana Journal.
Winfield Scott does not appear to appreciate the
character OF Thomas Jefferson, however. The latter
once wrote, in paper called the declaration of in
dependence -
ale King Georgel endeavored to prevent the pop
the laaUs Of naturalization of foreigners; refusing to
pass others to encourage their migration hither.
Gen. Scott wrote, as late 1874:
We think we liberal enough when, in provi-
ding for America we leave the door of admission open
TO the children of foreigners, abroad, who may
hereafter be born here, without allowing their fathers
TO come and help govern u.s.
! We hope the Journal will not continue to assault,
the reputation of Mr.. Jefferson by attempting to
cover Scott with his mantle.

GALT'S PSYCHE.

"There once lived King and Queen who
had three daughters. all of whom were pass
ing fair. But the beauty of the two elder,
though very great, could still be sufficiently
praised in the ordinary forms Of such, while
that Of the youngest was that ola loneliness so
rare and marvellous, that human language not
only fell short OF describing, but was even inca
pable Of justly lauding it. Natives, as we'll az
foreigners, whom the rumor of such prodi-
gy attracted in crowds, astounded with the
view of such inapproachable beauty, placed
the right hand on the mouth, crossing the
forefnger on the erect thumb, in the form Of
worship offered 10 Venus ITSELF
Soon through the neighboring States and
adjacent reg ions, ran the rumor that the god
dess whom the deep azure of ocean had
brought forth, and the dew Of the fouming bill
lows had nourshed, now casting off her divi-
nifty, deigned TO consort 18th mortals, or very
certainly that once more from new generatiye
influence of the stars, the earth, and not the
sea, had produced another Venus clothed in
virgin purity.
" This opinion rapidly spread frora day to
day From the Isles, it reached the continent,
and thence passing from province TO province,
il soon beca me almost universal. No distance
was SO great, no sea so deep as to deter the Gu.
rious from thronging to gaze on this glorious
specimen of the age. No longer was Papho..
or Cnidos or even Cyihera, visited to behold
the goddess Venus. Her sacrifices ceased; her
temples were detaced; her touches uodden
under foot her ceremonies neglected.; her
images renounced, and her empty affairs pol
luted with extinguished ashes. Ii was to the
young girl that prayers were offered the At
tributes Of potent goddess were worshipped
in human form and in her person when the
virgin appeared abroad, the name of the now
forgotten Venus was propitiated by fessts and
sacrifices while the people, assembling in the
streets, scattered flowers either loose or in gar.

RAILROAD MEETING,

We are compelled to defer, unit to morrow,
a detailed account of the proceedings of rail-
road meeting held a, Milton, N. c., on the first
instant for the purpose Of providing means to
secure the construction Of branch to the
Danville Railroad from that point. As we are
not sufficiently acquainted with the merits of
the question to hazard an opinion thus far, we
will merely state the substance Of a comnu-
nication addressed to US by gentleman who
favors this scheme. He says that such branch
as that proposed, would be only from five 10
ten miles 1.-THE maximum and minimum) in
length-that it would give to this city tine en-
tire command of the most productive region of
North Carolina and most important of all,
would lead to connection with the great CEN
trail North Carolina railroad, bringing this city,
thereby into direct communication with the
entire western and southern portion Of that
great and wealthy State. This commu neation
having been established, he believes that Rich
mond would receive large proportion of the
trade Of those extensive regions, among the
most productive in the Union. 1t is the Opt
MON of the writer that thirty thousand dollars
of the money will easily be raised in Caswell
and Person counties, and partof Halifax, IN.
Co. but as this will not be enough, h hopes
that Richmond and Petersburg, who are to 10
the principal benefciaries, especially the first
named, will lend their assistance.
By the charter Of the Danvile Railroad, the
company have the power to extend branches
not exceeding ten miles in length, and should
this road be made by them, in pursuance of
this privilege, the stockholders of the Danville
road will be stockholders in that also. Dele
gates were appointed by this meeting to attend
the next meeting of the stockholders Of the
Richmond and Danville Railroad; and ten
thousand dollars were subscribed before it ad.
iourned.

THE DAILY DISPATCH.
PRESIDENTS MES SAGE.

We received this document at too late an
hour to permit indulgence in long comment.
1t is singuIarly clear and simple, and will, we
think, rank high as State paper. 1t will pro-
badly be read with the more interest that it is
the last which the distinguished auth or will
send TO Congress.
1t will be seen tina. the Crescent City fair
has already been made the subje of negota-
ZION, and that the Government has refused
positively 10 enter with France and Engla nd
into any treaty for securing the island of Cuba
to Spain This is the subject, probably, OF
greatest immediate interest embraced in the
message. The next is that VIII ich relates to
the japan expedition. With California and
Australia both open to the enterp rise Of the
world, it is not possible that Japan, lying d.
rectly in the track ofboth, should be able TO
preserve her character of savage exclusive,
ness, even though this expedition should fail.
The cause is that of the whole civilized world.
The President sees no cause TO alter his
opinion with regard to the tariff. He still re-
conmends return to specific duties, or if that
be impracticable, the substitution of home
for foreign valuation. The imports were
about 100000, the exports about $l67,-
100000, leaving a balance Of S50,000,O0O
against US. This is reduced, by the export of
about $45 900 900 in the precious m etals.
Upon the whole, we think this message will
be as we'll received as could be expo cted, con
silering the state ofparties.
