another shooting case occurred in Baltimsre
last night between desperate parties. John Judge,
nackman, who has figured in a great number of
outrageous affairs lately was last nj ght shot whilst
coming out of the door of the Virginia House, on
South Calvert street. A revolver was fred at him,
two balls entering his breast, and the third ganc-
ing from his forehead. few weeks since Judge
shot and wounded John Rigdon, a member of the
Empire Club, in a tavern affray, and the shot was
doubtless fired by some of Rigdon's friends by way
OF revenge. 1t is thought he is not fatally
wounded. s.
The slave case of Rachel Parker is still pro-
crossing before the county court. The witnesses
from Pennsylvania testify in the most positive
manner that she has resided in Chester county
since she was an infant; that they have known
her and seen her constantly for the last sixteen
years, and swear to her identity with as much
certainty as they would to that of one of their own
children. The widow of Joseph C. Miller, who
first traced the girl to this city, and commenced
proceedings against Mr.. Creary for kidnapping her,
and was next day found dead hanging to tree
near the city. also appeared on the stand, and de,
scrbed scar on the girls foot, which she received
when about five years. old, and which she swore
she had not examined inquired about since the
girls arrest. Her foot examined and the
wound, as described, found. sgs. -.:r.s

"LlEuTsSAsr GENERAL" ScoTT.-We quote the
following from the New Orleans Delta which, if
not strictly party journal, has too strong Demo
cratic aftinites to be exposed to the charges in
which the PesnsyIvanian INDUCES:
sit is with joyful emotions, and higher feelin Q
and respect tor humanity, that we have read the
speeches made in the Senate of the United States
on the occasion of the introduction of bill by
Senator Clemens to confer the brevet of lieutenant
general on that greatest living soldier, Winfield
Scott. Such displays Of kindly sympathy and
grateful admiration, on the part of his warm Do
ltical opponents towards the old der, constitute
truly, oasis in the wilderness of political rivalry
and contention. They show that the opposition
to General Scott in the late exclusively
politicas they prove that political opposition ia
compatible with the highest personal respect and
admiration, and that the republican characteristic
of our institutions which compels citizens select
their political agents on political rather than
personal grounds, and regards offices as sa-
cred and delicate trusts, rather than rewards and
faEors for distinguished personal merits and SER
vices, is maintained in all its vigor by our enlight
ened people. .ea. =. Essf L..
''Itwa great error to suppose that the 7oppo
nents of General Scott yielded to his political
friends in the estimate of his personal merits and
qualifications, and in gratitude for his transcend
ent virtues
"The speeches of distinguished Democrats in
the Senate, and the fact that the bill confer this
brevet was introduced by a Democratic Senator
bre credable to the nation well as to the indi-
aiduals concerned"
