General Scott.

The Home Journal alludes to the removal of
this distinguished man to the city of New York,
in the following just manner:
By the removal of Gen. Scott and his family
to New York, one of the most attractive features
of Washington society will be added to our owu.
The mere presence among US of SO distinguish
ed a person-the Comm .nder-in Chief of the
Army, the first of living soldiers, man whose
career is part of country's history, and
whose fame is world -wids-seems of itself to
elevate the city toaoards metropolitan rank
His residence, the hospitalities of which will be
so gracefully dispensed, VIII be the centre of an
extensive and most attractive circle. And of
necessity, New York will be hereafter more fre-
quently visited by military men, who form al
ways welcome addition 20 the society ETA city
where a too exclusive devotion to the practical
prevents the development of the ornamental, or
makes it blush for its existence We glad
to perceive that the General looks as well and
as young as he did before he encountered the
fatigues of political campaign. His tall form
is unbent by the weight of three-score years,
and his hair is not yet of that hue which is said
to render it ''crewn of glory" He has been
frequently seen of late in pusIc places and pri-
vate assemblies, and his presence never fails to
awaken great interest, and to elicit uaequvocal
marks of respect and admiration. We trust he
will find his new place of residence agreeable
and exhilarating, and, for many years, continue
to be the commanding ornament OF its soci-

Another Projected Plank Road.

charter was obtained from the late Legisla-
ture, for Plank Road from Ebensburg TO connect
with the Jefferson and Ebensburg Road ut or
near the ''Half-Way House." built by Mr.. Dan
iel 7. Jones. This road runs south from Ebens-
burg, and its completion would shorten the
distance to Jefferson at least one mile, and would
give US more direct communication with the
railroads. Outside of our borough, something
like four thousand dollars in stock can be obtain
ed, and as the road viii not cost more than
double that amount, we presume the balance
would be subscribed in short period if proper
efforts were made The Jefferson Plank Road
Is constructed TO the turnpike, j miles west of
town we can see no advantage in completing
1t, along side of the turnpike, (which can be
made an excellent one) into the borough Far
better would it be toapply the amount necessary
to complete it to the construction of part of the
branch road, because by such course the trade
to Jefferson would be largely increased, and the
arms of the plank road would concentrate all the
the business of the central and western portions
OF the county to that point We do think tha,
this branch road would be enefcial to the in
terests of both villages as well as to large
number OF persons south of Ebensburg, who on
account of the steepness of that famous barrier
to transportation, Williams hill, are in a meas
ure, cut off from reaching Jefferson, unless they
either take half a load or come here to get fair
start The better and more numerous our roads
the more rapid will be the advancement of the
of the agricultural lumber, and other interests
OF car county and as we are confident that this
road would be the means of partly aiding that
advancement, increasing population, and the
facilities Transportation, we hope it may be
properly undertaken and successfully and speed
iiy completed.

BsA. 1t is pretty generally believe in the cas-
tern and western cities, that Ebensburg will be-
this summer, place quite as attrautive as Bed
ford springs, Saratogaor Newport. 1t is sem
sible movement fer those who reside in cities to
come up here during the warm months, because
there never is great a crowd and consequent
annoyance as is met with at any of the watering
places. Trout, game. magnificent scenery, and
girls that would make good wives are plenty.

Arrival of Mrs. Stowe in Glasgow.

Inc Edinburgh scotsman, OF the 10Th, says :
'Mrs. Beecher Stowe and her husband" ar
rived in Edinburgh from Glasgow yesterday
afternoon. For considerable time previous to
the hour of the trains arrival, the platform the
railway station was thronged by many hundreds
of ladies and gentlemen, waiting nominally to
welcome, but actually to look at Mrs. Stowe
who is without doubt the greatest lion of the
season
0G the Waverly Bridge, also, large crowd
had collected.
As Mrs. Stowe stepped from the railway car
riage cheer was raised aud the greeting con
tinued as she passed along the platform leaning
on the arm of Lord Provost tJwards his Lord
ship Carriage, which in attendance, and
into which Professor and Mrs. Stowe accom-
panied by his Iordship Immediately entered
The carriage then drove slowly up the soping
road from the railway, and along the Waverly
Bridge towards Princes street, surrounded by
sES%as fagsF to to ea5sa 0n g@gss 5 2 the world ia
In pursuit of this laudible object it must be
confessed that several persons broke through all
ordinary laws of decency and politeness bv

n wild beast caravan BY the increased pace OF
the carriage these encumbering admirers were
gradually shaken off, but throughout its route
westwards along Princes street it was constant
ly attended by successive groups of remainng q
footmen.
Mrs Stowe was very plainly dressed and
seemed both startled and gratifed by the ex
treme warmth of her reception. In company
with Mr.. Wigham. whose guests Mr.. and Mrs
Stowe are she and her party visited the Castle
the University, Heript's Hospital the other
points ofinterest in the city.
In the evening, banquet in honor to Mrs
Stowe, and IN promotion to the Anti Slavery
cause, held in the Music Hall. About ff-
teen hundred were present the Lord Provost

After supper, the ''Uncle Tom Penny offering"
contribution, collected in small sums throughout
Scotland, was handed to Mrs Stowe in the shape
of $1,000 sterling, with request that she would
expt nd 1T in whatever way she might consider
best to advance the aSo.itoust cause. The
cash was presented upon silver salver, Il gift

Railroad Accidents.

The particulars of an awful railroad accident
On the New Haven railroad, will be found IN
another part of our paper The scene was a
most frightful and appalling one, and the details
are calculated to touch the stoutest heart The
engineer seems to have been realty in fault

esineer should have noticed, and stopped the
rain. These railroad accidents are becoming
TOO frequent, and that there is gross careless
ness ON the part of the employees there cannot
be doubt, a remedy should be applied, and that
Immediately. The train was proceeding toe
fast over the bridge, say twenty miles an hour,
when the speed should not have been more than
four miles; had the train been going slow the
accident would have been avoided. But suppose
such q pFacaution should be used, numbers OF
grumbling passengers, who are always unpleas-
ant travelling companions, aud who are afflicted
with an quantity of go aheaditivenes,

slow running" and would give vent to their i'll
natures by remarking, ''well, l never will travel
