Scott and Graham.

The Washington correspondent of the Syracuse
Star, who was bitterly opposed to the nomination
of General SCoTT, says in recent letter:
OF General Scott's military achievements it is
unnecessary to speak The country knows them
by heart. AS general he combines to an un-
usual degree, prudence, decision, and bravery.
As a scholar his reputation is good, and a man
his integrity is unquestioned. Cen
eral Scott himself has always been regarded as a
model of integrity, if not of wisdom, and as II
thorough gentleman, if not a consummate states
man.

the late Gen. Joseph Graham, of that State, who

rose rapidly to distinction. He served under
Gen. Lincoln in Georgia, and il the battle Of
Charlotte received nine wounds In the subse
quent years of the war, he commanded in fifteen
engagements, with degree of courage, wisdom,
| calmness, and success, surpassed by no officer of
the same rank After the war he engaged in the
manufacture of iron in Lincoln county, and for
more than 40 years conducted large establish
ment with great energy and prudence. He died

UyGESERoUs The Barnburner organ, the Al
hany Atlas, ridicues as below, the Hunker nomi-
nee for the Presidency. This mode OF deterio-
rating the nominee Of portion OF its party for
n high office is very ungencrous on the part OF
the Atlas 1t would be more manful to come out
against him openly. If Gen Pierce did not on
any occasion take part in the debates in either
house or Congress- the country, perhaps, was
more the gamer than the loser by it. lie ought
not therefore, to be quizzed about ESPECIALLY
not by professed friend But here is the sly
hit of the Atlas at the Hunker candidate :-BY-
