THE ADMINISTRATION VS.. GEN. SCoTT.-The
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Times, under date of Saturday, September 22d,
writes:
The new dispute between Gen. Scott and
the Secretary of war excites lively interest
among military men and politicians. The
position now assumed by Gen. Scott in the
case of Gen. Hitchcock, is similar to that taken
by Gen. Jackson thirty five years ago. during
Monroe's Administration, in which the old
hero was fully sustained by the Democratic
party. When some of the Presidents friends
spoke Of laying the correspondence before Con-
gress, and invoking its action on the charge of
military INSTRUMENTATION alleged against Jack
son, that officer promptly declared he would
submit to no interference of this kind, adding,
this is a matter between me and Jim Monroe,
and by the Eternal FL have it out with him.
The letters of Gen. Scott and the Secretary of
War will certainly fnd'their way into the
press, and will produce a sensation perhaps,
as deep and general as the personal correspon-
dence between Scott and Marcy, between
Hamilton and Monroe, Hamilton and Burr.
Williamson and Randolph, and Clay and Ran
dolph. The personal difficulties of the great
have always had charm for the public

Senator Douglas.

This arbitrator is still engaged in making
stump speeches in Northern Illinois. He late
" spoke in St Louis While speaking about
the Nebraska Bill, he stated he had been
handed note asking of him to give his views
of the recent Kansas outrages. He said he
had been asked the same question in Illinois,
and would answer it the same. He was OPP
posed to any interference on the part of any
State or people with the internal regulations
of the territory but while he was ready to de-
claim against the wrongs committed by the
Missourians, he was open to denounce in I'M
sparing terms the crusades against slavery,
undertaken by regular organized societies in
Massachusetts who had marched through
Chicago with banners and devices, and travelled
up the Missouri river into Kansas, with the
sole intention of making it a free State.
The st. Louis Democrat says:
'The speaker in this portion of his remarks
displayed the cunning politician most unmis
takeably. He inveighed against both the acts
of Massachusetts, and Missouri, but dwelt in
such violent terms upon the acts of the former
State that the outrages of the latter seemed as
nothing In the scale between the TWO, thereby
accomplishing what he had designed-fattery
of the South. He made special and bitter al
fusion to certain body of men who passed
through the North into Kansas and became
racelal settlers, but had nothing to say against
Davy Atchison and his followers who crossed
the borders, and with pistols and bowie-knives
made foray upon the rights of the people at
their elections, and then retire to their homes
again to gloat and boast over the lawless VIC
tory.
The Democrat closes it's notice of Douglas
speech as follows. We can forgive it in al
luding to the American party as being dead
for speaking so candidly as Southern paper
and Democratic paper, of Douglas.
'He failed. He was only positive on one
thing and that, his opposition to the Know
Nothingism. This amounted to nothing for
the party is dead. He delivered a philippe
against it-he might more appropriately have
pronounced an eulogy upon it. His chief aim
was to fatter and conciliate the Southern feeling
of our citizens. We are much mistaken if the
people do not set him down as a great sham
an unmitigated humbug-a man of "unboun-
ded stomach, but with no resources to crafty
his appetite for political distinction, more than
those possessed by thousands of his cunning
compensate uneasy politicians" of the
| land"

THE HOG TRADE
running.

A strong desire still exists to purchase hogs
for early delivery and sales have been made
within the week at Sc 30 per cwt net, for No
vember delivery, and now holders ask Sc 80.
For December delivery, we hear ofno transac-
tions--holders ask So, and purchasers could
not be made below this rate. The stock of old
Pork and Bacon in this market is very small
and before the new comes in, will be entirely
exhausted. This will be the case, it is sup
posed in the leading markets; and this con-
sideration, together with the advices from
England by the last steamer, leads to the con-
clusion that high rates will be obtained for all
the meat brought into the market early. Con-
tracts are being made in Indiana at SIS so per
cwt. net, for delivery in the latter part of De-
cember and the first of January, and in Hines
at So.
The packers are paying So so per cwt net
for good beeves, but they are mostly held at
Sc rs, but at this rate are freely offered for
early delivery Gin. Price Current 9th.
HoGs.-COntracts have been made for No
vember and December delivery at 81 25 gross,
but holders are now asking 81 90 The Gin
cinnati Gazette thinks that the opening rates
will reach 81 per 100 net. Packers are not
willing to make contracts at this figure, and
there are no sellers at much lower rates con-
sequently very little is being done for future
delivery Lou. Jour.

An American in sebastopol.

The Nashville (Tenn.) Gazette publishes
letter from Sebast0pol, written by DR.. J. H.
Morton, of Williamson county, who is prose-
cutting his profession in the Service of the Car
In SebastOpol We make some interesting ex-
tracts from the letter, which was written be-
tween the 4th and 9Th of July:
l believe there is at least half as manly kill
ed in the city while off duty as there is at the
bastions at the present time. During the time
that they are attempting to destroy battery,
of course more are killed at the bastions All
the fighting, save that which is done during
an assault or sortie, is done from behind the
bastions. You know something of the con-
struction of bastion, suppose. 1t is nothing
more than an embankment of dirt, with places
cut through for cannon. The French have
the same we do, and in this particular we have
no advantage over them; and then they have
a decided advantage of US in their artillery,
which will carry much further than ours; we
have excellent artillery, though but it is very
heavy. Another thing they have that does a
great deal of execution-the Minnie rifle
You have heard it spoken of in high terms,
but its value as an instrument of war has never
been spoken of in terms too high.
We lose great many men from them. and
these French know so well how to take advan-
tage of every little rise in the ground to make
a rife pit; four or five of them get here, and
one shoots while the others load for him, and
they do vast deal of execution to our artille-
rymen. These pits are thick all around the
city, and you may shoot at them with can
non, but with little effect, for as soon as he
fires his rife dips down in his hole, and you
see nothing more until you hear the crack Of
his rife again, and they are pretty sure to get
a man, and the balls, which are conical and
very heavy for a gun, generally go through
and through; you never find them lodged
without they have struck bone, which is
sure to be broken and shattered in every di-
rection, rendering amputation necessary. But
Russia has the best soldiery in the world
They have no fear about them in this particu-
lar They are different from the soldiery 81
all countries; it is impossible to get up a
panic in the Russian army; they will stand
with the stubb0rnness of mule and be shot
down by thousands, and never think of run
ming without they are ordered to do so. They
know nothing but to obey; you might order
out thousand of them against million, and
tell them to stand and fight; if they had an of
ficer with them that would stand, l believe
the last one might be shot down, and you
would never see the least movement towards
running.
