The Suceessor q Gen. Scon.-some speculation exists as to which of the Ma jor Generals will be entitled to the rank made vacant by Gen. Scot,'s elevation to the iestenantG Genera!cy. There will be a contest between tl.e friends of Gen. Wool and Gen. Twiggs, who are both Ma 5jor-generals by brevet. The brevet ot Gen. Wool is older than that of Gen. Twlggs, but the latter has managed to pro- cure recognition, on various occasions, of his claims to the precedeney and it is thought that the Secretary of War will sustain them on the prescRt occasion.

 The arrival of the Cunarder St. Louis, at Boston, furnishes no war news of impor- tance. It is probable, however, tha, by this time the Allies have commenced lombard ing Sevastopol in earnest if they have not been anticipated in their offensive demon stration by a general and simultaneous at tack from the Russian forces in garrison and in the field. 1 believe the prevailing opinion among military men in this rosn- try is, that the investing army will be com peiled to raise the siege.
 General Houston appears to be winning "golden opinion of all sorts of people," by his lectures on Texas. Young America shuts one eye and looks knowingly when his name is mentioned; whence it is infer red that he may be the $ Native" candidate for the Presidency. It is too early in the day however to guess upon the subject. s@ By the way, see that George Law has been nominated for the Presidency at Har- fisburgh, and whisper is going round among his friends here that he would make sa first rate chief magistrate. MT. Law is certainly very shrewd man, but as our common school system had not reached its present perfection in his boyish days, it is to be feared that his education has been somewhat neglected. Should he be nomin- ated for the first office in ihs gift of the peo- pie. what think yo9 of Mir. Ha.nrm for the sscesd.

Ben Fisher had finished his hard days work,
And he sat at his cottage door;
lls good wife. Kate, sat by his side,
And the moonlight danced on the floor:
Iii" moonlight danced on the cottage floor,
Her beams were :,s clear and bright
Aswhen he and Kate, twrfve years before,
Talked love in her mellow light.
Ben Fisher had never pipe Of clay,
And never a dram deank he. -
No he loved at home " ith his wife to stay,
And thay chAtted merrily;
Hight merrily chat.rd they on the while,
Her bab~ slept on her breast,
"hiie ch-rub rogue with rosy smile
On his fathe. s knee found rest.
Zen told her how Fast his potatoes grew,

"ai the wheat on The hill was grown te seed,
And Promised II glorious yield;
glorious yield i'll the harvest time,
And his orchard was doing fair: -fr -1
His sheep and his stock were i'll their prime,
