GENERAL ScoTT THE EASTERN WAR.-The
Washington correspondent OF the Charleston her
cnry writes as follows: 81 had recently the plea
sure of hearing the criticism OF General Scott on
the war in the Crimea. look upon Scott as one
of the great captains Of the age, and listened
with great interest TO his ideas He says the allies
committed great blundsr in delaying the attack
upon Sebastopol as long they did; that ,mme
dately after the raising Of the siege OF S4istria,
they should have attacked Sebastopol, al which
time there was a comparatively small force in the
Crimea; that the allies cannot take Sebastopol
unless they receive reinforcements, giving them
superior Of force to the extent Of from thirty 10
fifty per cent; that the Russian regular soldiers
are the best troops in the world for defense; they
fly, but perish unless ordered to retreat. tie
thinks the allies labor under great Disadvantages
in having two commanding generals; that the
road 10 victory is through unity OF design. The
reference | would draw from General SCOTS idea
is, that Sebasiopol will not be taken; for doubt
whether the allies can throw such preponder-
ance Of force there as is necessary. The general
further said that the allies could not re.embark
now without immense loss Of men, and all the ma
terals of war in camp except the weapons in
their hands"
DR.. GRAHAM IN THE STATE l'RlsoN-Lfamous
Conspirocy.-The story started by the New York
Times that DR.. Graham had been drinking brandy
at Sing Sing Prison, and, by consequence, quar-
relling with his keepers, is pronounced "crueny
false" by the Albany atlas, which adds:
"This falsehood has, undoubtedly done DIR.
Graham great injury and we think that all the
facts in the case land il appears there were facts
as disgracefu in their nature as was the fasehood
tself) should be made public. IL is said that GER
tain officials at the prison, not pleased with the
action Of their superiors in placing DR.. g. in the
position assigned him, sought 10 bring him into
trouble by Administering certain drugs. These
drugs had their effect upon the doctor, but not
such as described. He was not crazy drunk
nor had he any knife TO 'brandish.' These were
the things the conspirators hoped for, but their 4
hopes were not gratifed. Truly there is villaby
within prison walls well without"
SIR GEORGE BRowS AND SIR De LACY Evans
These two generals, who have been so conspicu-
Gus in commanding divisions Of the British army
in the Crimea, both served in this country, both
were at the battle Of Badensburg aud the taking
of Washington. The former received two wounds
at Bladensburg, and the latter had two horses
killed. The latter, Sir De Lacy Evans, also served
at New Orleans and was there twice wounded.
They were both conspicuous officers under
Wellington in the Peninsula and both were
wounded there. Sir De Lacy Evans was at
Waterloo
Sir George Brown is 81 years of age, and Sir
De Lacy Evans, 81. In old England they are not
considered Old Fogies, although Young America
might have classed them as such before the bat
ties Of Alma, Baaklava and lnkerman.
