General Scott's Family.

writer in the New York Times, under a re-
cent date, speaks of General SCOTS having start
ed on his Western tour, and remarks that his
family were still at West Point; and says
"They consist of Mrs. General Scott and two
daughters-Miss Ella Scott and Mrs. Col. Scott,
who is married to gallant officer bearing the
family patronymic, but not related. He is a son
of late eminent physician, DR.. Andrew Scott, of
Newbern, North Carolina. A third daughter of
General Soott's is married to Mr.. Hoyt, of New
YORK, and resides in the city. He has no sons
Another daughter, Miss Virginia Scott, died a
few years since"

EEy- Col. }; G. SEWER Of Louisiana, and Cap
tain Merrick Of Baltimore, are to address the
Wings Of Frederick city tomorrow Saturday
evening. Col. Sewer made deep and powerful
impression in that city last week He is a speaker
of great force and aptness, and always discusses
the right subjects in the right manner. In evil
dence OF the truth of this, we may state that the
Locos are endeavoring TO drive him off the track
by assailing his private character Were their
assaults warranted by truth, we cannot imagine
what pertinence there would be in making them
against man whose only offence is the advocacy
Of political opinions adverse to those entertained
by the assailants; but Col. s. appears willing tc
encounter any responsible man among them, and
will no doubt do 50 in a satisfactory manner.

A WHOLE FAMILY SWEPT AwAY.-We are called
upon to notice a most melancholy instance of
mortality, in which the family Of Mr.. Daniel r.
RAIL- excepting an infant, a few months old, have
been swept away few days since the death

ouently attacked with the same disease, and, af-
ter brief sickness, died early on Monday morn
ing, and at the same time his eldest son expired,
two other boys having previously died. Within
few days, Mr.. Rail, and his wife, and their
three sons, Walter aged IL, Irving, aged Z, and
John, aged 4, have died, The two younger chill
dren were attacked on Friday night, the father
and eldest son on Sunday morning about nine
o'clock. All died between seven o'clock on Sun
day evening and five o'clock on Monday morn
ing. The wife died on Thursday last The de-
ceased was buried on Monday afternoon.

A MALIGNANT FALsEHooD.-Mr Merrill of
Washington, Ohio, writes, Sept sth, that Mr.
Johnston, of Cincinnati, has made the declaration
that :" John-P. Hale could drink more rum and
is more given to lewdness, than any man in
Washington City" Mr.. Merrill cannot believe
the statement but asks us to contradict it. We
do 1t with pleasure. 1t is base falsehood, and
everybody in Washington City, who knows Mr.
Hale, knows it to be so. His numerous friends
know that he is strictly temperate and pure in
his habits and this is the first time we have
ever heard such charge made against him. We
have been intimate with Mr.. Hale for nearly five
years, and know what we say.-Ndtional Era
1t is but justice to Mr.. Hale to say that, what
ever opinions are expressed of his political course
in this city, We have never before heard him dis
paraged as a gentleman of upright conduct and
pure fame We make this declaration in ,pur-
suance of our long established resolve to protect
the good name of political adversary whenever
the truth will enable us 10 do So

The New Boston SpeeCh,

We do not believe, says the Richmond Wing,
there is a jury of honest men in this country,
who under all the circumstances, would not render
verdict against Pierce on that New Boston
speech. The fact Of its publication, sic months
before Pierce waS thought Of for the Presidency, is
conclusive, without any additional testimony
from any quarter. Parson Foss might be the
greatest knave extant-instead of being, es ne
is represented to be, Baptist preacher of good
standing in his church-and the badness of his
character could not affect that fact. But there
is additional corroborative testimony. Mr.. Mapp,
witness brought forward by the Democrats,
testifes that he heard Pierce utter sentiments
almost identical with those contained in the New
Boston speech.

BfIs~ The Loco papers say that General Scott
cannot hold Irish soldiers in esteem, because he
condemned some of them who proved recreant.
1t is an opinion Of General Scott, which he has
often been heard to express, and which he bases
upon his own experience, that want of good faith
or Of courage is thing among Irish soldiers.
We are sorry our Loco friends think they are all
faithess deserters, and that therefore Gen. Scott
cannot hold them in respect.

Hon. John p. Kennedy.

A Washington correspondent of the Norfolk
Herald, in announcing the return to the seat of
government of the Secretary of the Navy, makes
the following remarks, in which we most heartily
concur. Mr. Kennedy is a Wing, a gentleman,
patriot, and, withal, man of rare accomplish
ments and extraordinary gifts
"Mr. Kennedy is making an able and popular
Secretary. He eyinces extraordinary Judgment,
tact and decision; and his comprehensive grasp,
in the general and the detail, of the wants. me-
cessities, and government of the Navy, surprises
and pleases every one. No gentleman at the
head of the Navy Department for many years
past has shown higher or ADLER qualities
The new steamer Princeton, which was in
tended to accompany the Japan Expedition
under Com. Perry, has been pronounced a fail
ure, and condemned as unfit for service
The New York Journal of Commerce publishes
the above, but on what authority is not stated.
1t is decidedly news in this quarter The Prince
ton lies in our harbor, and the work necessary
for fitting her for sea is going actively forward,
and will probably be completed within month.
So far from her having been pronounced failure
or condemned as unfit for service, we believe she
is generally admired for her superiority of mo-
del, build, SC. This, we know, was, and we pre-
sumo still is, the opinion of the officers in COM
mand. As for her machinery, though its COM
pletion has been greatly delayed, we do not think
