Some speculation exists as to which of the
Major Generals will be entitled to the rank
made vacant by Gen. Scott's elevation to the
Lieutenant Genralcy. There will be a con.
test between the friends of General Wool and
General Twiggs, who are both Major Geuerals
by breyet. The breret of Gen. Wool is older
than that of Gen. Twiggs, but the latter has
managed to procure the recognition, on various
occasions, of his claims to presidency; and it
is thought that the Secrstory of War will sus-
tain them on the present occasion.

considering the propriety of petitioning Cons
gress, at its next session, to pass bill to en-
courage the cultivation of the grape, and the

mode. If the business will will not pay, with
out taxing the public in that way, why invest
