SERIOUS MUTNY on BOARD THE Ship kFpFoRD.-The
ahip Darlington, which arrived here yesterday from Chi
na, reports:-Dec. II, lat. 1915, g., long. 1880 east, fell
in with ship Medford, Of Boston, from Manila for New
York, with signals Of distress flying; hove the ship to, and
boarded her, when we learned that the captain, first and,
second mates had been stabbed BY one Of the crew; put
the first officer Of the Darlington on board, to take tbs
ship into the Cape of Good Hope, for medical assistance
for the wounded.
The following is the statement Of Captain Ropes, OF
the ship Medford- 4
Dec. 10, 400 miles from the Cape of Good Hope. As
regarding the steering OF the ship, he became inso-
lent, and upon his attempting TO chastise him, the rest
OF the crew ran aft to the mans George Harris's) as
sistance, be having struck the captain, and knocked him
down. The captain ordered all hands forward, who
obeyed, except one man, Charles Stephens, who used
insulting language, and attempted to draw his knife; at
2,,P. M when Stevens was on his way aft to relieve the
wheel, he drew his knife on the captain, when he and
the second mate attempted to take It from him, when hs
stabbed the captain in five different places, the FIRST mate
in the arm, the second mate In the abdomen, from.
which his bowels protrGded. The wounds were dressed
as wen as circumstances would permit, and ct 4, P. NJ,
Stevens came AFT, and surrene cred himself a prisoner;
he was put in irons, and confined in the lower cabin,
the captain and mates being In q very low state.

JUSTICE TO GEN. ScoTT.-We are happy to an
nounce to our readers the passage by the House
Of Representatives Of the resolution Of the Sc
nate, comforting upon Major General Scott the
brevet rank Of Lieutenant-G General, in consider
alton Of his distinguished military services.
This is tardy justice; but it is better than no
thing. The most accomplished soldier in the
practical art OF war, now existing in the world,
is, We venture to say, no other than General
Scott; and next to him, judging from bis bril-
liant defence OF Sebastopol, 10 Prince Menschi-
kof-but even Menschikoff would have been,
ere this, on his road to 81. Petersburg had
such q man as Scott been at the head OF the
allied forces. The compliment Of Lieutenant.
General is but o mall recognition Of his bra
very on the Canadian frontier, and the consum.
mate skill Of his Mexican campaign. Such an
officer in France or England, would have re-
turned from Mexico with the baton Of a Field
Marshal. Still, the compliment Of a Lieutenant
Generals brevet is something, and we congrs-
tulate The worthy old hero upon the trium pbant
majority by which it has been carried through
the Honse.
