RED RIVER ITEMs.-The Shreveport Gazette, of
the 22d states that the roads in that section are
almost impossible from mud and water. The river
was at stand, and had fallen above Fulton The
Gazette says:
1t is distressing to hear OF the condition Of planters
Many have planted their corn but it is believed that
they will have to do all their work over again. Those
who are not forward with their crops are better
off, as they have saved labor and grain.
The same paper publishes the particulars Of the
suicide of DR.. Wm Beach, who poisoned himself on
Wednesday last. He purchased vial of morphine
in Shreveport, went to cabin some distance out on
the line of the railroad and swallowed large guam
tity of the poison, dying soon afterwards. 1t was
supposed that his intellect had been affected by dis
emotion

The scientific American publishes an article upon
the discovery of method for cooking without fire,
It is a combination of tin cooking dishes placed one
above another, the bottom of one vessel fitting on
tho top part of the dish below. In the lower dish Of
all, small quantity Of quick lime is placed, and
then, by means of tube, cold water is introduced
upon the lime. Chemical action generates intense
heat, whereby the articles on the dishes are quickly
cooked ready for the table,

THE CALAMITY ON THE DELAwARE.--The loss OF
life by the burning Of the Camden and Philadelphia
ferry boat turns out to have been much greater than
was supposed. The Ledger of the 18th states that
vigorous search was being made for the bodies, and
publishes list of names of those recovered amount
ing to 10; it also publishes the names of 30 whc
still missing. The bodies were taken to the Sta
ton House fast recovered and the Ledger says
AS each body was brought in, the friends of the
missing crowded around, anxious to learn whether
the teless corpse was that of the object of their
guish, and when the remains were recognized, the
lamentations were painful in the extreme. The
bodies with the weeping relatives of the dead ant
the missing ones made up picture that Wrung thu
stoutest hearts, and the like Of which we hope never
to be compelled to witness again.

GEN. SeOTTs BACK PAY.EOn the 18th mass of
documents was transmitted to the House of Repre-
sentatives in compliance with resolution calling for
the correspondence between the Secretary of War and
General Scott, relative to the latters pay as Lieu
tenant General.
In letter. dated the sth of March last Gen. Scott
sends Paymaser General Larned memoranda ask
ing that payment be made in accordance Herewith.
Larned, the same day, informs General Scott that he
cannot do so owing to- the important questions
involved In consequence of this General Scott wrote
to Secretary Davis, wh9dnforms him that the reso!u
ton confirming the rank OF Lieutenant General is of
the most limited character.
The grade he says, is raised, not to be filled like
other grades, but for the purpose of being conferred
acknowledgment Of past services rendered in q
war expressly designated and the authority con-
ferred is so limited that when once exercised it is
gone Secretary Davis however, requests the Attorney
| Generals opinion on the subject. w.
| General Scott meanwhile learning by rumor that q
Treasury fanctionary at Washington had cautiously
suggested that his claim might be rejected, on the
ground that the statute originally creating the rank
Of Brevet Lieutenant General had been repealed,
endeavored to anticipate that suggestion in Secretary
Davis mind by another statement, fifteen days later
than the one previously sent, to which Secretary
Davis replies, saying In regard to the confidence
which you express regarding the cai it is proper
apprize you that have not to the same conclu-
sion, and hence a necessity of reference to the
Attorney General. H. .saz# ss
| The documents comprise the opinions of eminent
COUNSEL sustaining General scott's views as to the
pay, together with long written argument by the
Attorney General, the Presidents sanction Of the
same, etc. and Gen. Scotis receipt for $10,4OO, as
awarded under the decision of the President.
| On November 9th last, General Scott, writing to
| Paymaster General Larned, says: 81 learned that
Mr.. Secretary Davis had withheld from the Attorney
General every point springing from the face Of the
accounts themselves and substituted leading ques-
ton in bar of all compensation whatever, viz
Whether there is in force any law fixing the compen-
sation?'
The Secretary retained them in his own sufficient
hands, and after another delay of more than nine
weeks, has obtained from the President decision
against the double rations, and the higher rate OF
forage, to my loss of about $4,000.
| The Secretary OF War in communicating these
documents says the greater part of the correspondence
is not within the scope of the resolution calling fo
the information and therefore cannot be properly
| extracted.
The suppressed papers embrace, it is supposed, tht
details Of fierce epistolary conflict, between thes
distinguished gentlemen.
