FORGET ME NOT.

NO1s
Forget me not-forget me not,
But let these little simple flowers
Remind thee of his lonely lot,
Who lov'd thee in life's purest hours;
When hearts and hopes were hallowed things
Ere gladness broke the Tyre she brought;
Then, oh when shivered all its strings,
Forget me not-forget me not.
We met, ere yet the world had come
To wither up the springs Of youth:
Amid the holy joys of home,
And in the first warm blush of youth;
We parted, as they never part
Whose tears are doom'd to be forgot,
Oh, by that agony Of heart,
Forget me not-forget me not.
Thine eye must watch these fow'rets fade,
Thy soul its idols melt away;
But oh, when flowers and friends lie dead,
Love can embalm them in decay;
And when thy spirit sighs along
The shadowy scenes of boarded thought,
Oh, listen to its pleading song
Forget me not-forget me not.

THE SCOTT AND DAVIS CORES.
PONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, Feb 1. 1857.

~ Ab-Ns A. SO lCCt-
The Scott and Davis correspondence is
quite yolumnous. From hasiy exami-
nation of the documents it appears that
Gen. Scott declined to give open and spe-
chc information TO Secretary Davis, re-
gardlng the expenditure of the secret ser
vice money in Mexico, believing that no
obligation of public or private honor, ac-
cordlng to the usages of nations and of
armies, required him TO disclr Sc the names
and circumstances. lie, however expires
sed willingness to give such information
for his private ear alone, which the Secre-
tary said he was willing to receive in con
lidence.
In November, 1855, the President of
the United States writes TO Senator Davis,
saying, in substance, "Gen. Scott states
two grounds on which he has learned that
| heSltated TO allow the five per cent COM
mlslon." 1t is proper TO remark that he
has been mlsiniormed, or has misappre-
hended my position. He himself fixed
81 per cent, which he might properly
have received for his disbursements in
Mexico, and a balance struck upon that
basis was the subject'of conversation be-
tween us.
Secretary Davis, in response to the
President, informs him that Gen. Scott had
charged himself with the sum of $26l SOL.
all OF which, excepting $4,000, was lev
led and captured in Mexico, and took
credit for disbursing S255,54I, leaving
$3.50 withheld by Gen. Scott in his ac,
count.
This balance the President, through the
Secretary of War, authorized Gen. Scott
TO retain.
Gen. Scott, in a letter dated at New
York, December, 1855, writes that there
are two items involving SII 1886, against
him as not admitted or disallowed by the
President on account of per cent charg-
ed by him on all moneys disbursed. He
says it was entirely within the competen-
cy of the President to allow that charge,
and asks that suits be brought against him
by the Government TO recover the amount
claimed to be due by him, nearly $4,000.
But the President declined to enter suit.
There are many explanations relative 10
these figures, but the financial par. of the
transaction cannot be fairly understood by
this mere reference to the subject.
Among the documents is the opinion of
Attorney General Gushing, January, 1856,
to the effect that the act creating the rank
Of Lieut.. General does not confer upon
Gen. Scott all the authority which was
imposed by the law of 1898 upon Wash
ngton, who was thereby made the Com
mander of the Armies, while Gen. Scott
was appointed Lieut.. General by order of
the President of the United States. The
rank carries retrospective pay and emolu-
ments, but not retrospective authority.
Gen. Scott's correspondence with the
officers of the Government goes back as
far as lS4S, and that between him and The
Secretary of War during 1855, contains
the following features:-
Secretary Davis, July 25th, 1855, says:

DepredatiOns Of WolUes in lowa-
The Keokuo Post, of Jan. 3lst, says: We
learn from gentleman who arrived in our
city yesterday, from Sioux city, that the
wolves in the river counties have been
driven to such straits by the snow and cold
weather, that they have become so raven
Gus as to destroy horses and cattle TO
considerable extent, and that they have
often attacked persons. On the evening
of the 9th inst, son and daughter of Mr..
Stockdale left their residence, on fork of
the Little Sioux river, i'll Woodbury., to
attend party at a neighbor's, about two
miles distant, and have not since been
heard of. On the morning of the 9th, the
bereaved parents sent TO Southon for assist
ance. and searched the neighborhood around
them, and as no. traces of The LOST ones
had been found, the conclusion is that they
have been attacked by the wolves and de-
voured.

PeevisIl temper in reply to an inquiry from
this Department" &c.

peevlsh temper in reply TO an inquiry from
this Department" &c.
Gen. Scott replies, July 3Oth--"It
would be easy to show that the whole let
ter, IN which you charge me with exhibit
ing a peeTlsh temper, is as fiippant in its
statements and logic, as that accusation.
Certainly, as Secretary of War, you have
done enough to warrant more than sns-
plclon, that from the first you have c0nsid-
cred 1t your special mission, by repeated
aggression on my rights and feelings, 10
goad me into some perilous attitude of
official opposition. To prove my long
lorbearance, for at my time of life all an
cry discussions are painful, will now
proceed TO enumerate some of the provo
cations alluded to, without diating in this
place on your partisan hostility to The
brevet of Lieut.. General. and the compen-
satlon that Congress intended to attach
thereto"
Gen. Scott then alludes 10 one of the
Secretary's Captains reports" and his
"capping the climax by usurpation and
absurdty." He likewise says; Follow
ing out your personal rebuke in the letter
of the 18th, your object, in violation Of
principle, is 10 crush me into servile
obedience 10 your self-wii. | know YOUR
object, and know also what is due TO N.Y.
self as man and a soldier, and if am
to be crushed, | prefer it at the hands of
my military peers"
The Secretary rejoins, in an unofficial
note, dated August I'd: "Your fcrvent ac-
cusalion, which charges me with usurpa-
ton for the most unworthy uses, and i'm
putes to me motives inconsistent with Off
cial integrity, is considered basely malev-
olent, and pronounced utterly false
Gen. Scott replying, Aug. 9th, says: Il
have received note from you, dated ID
inst, which you seem to desire me to con-
slider as unofficial. | shall not comply
with that singular fancy, as you can have
no legitimate claim 10 address NE, except
as Secretary of War. Accordingly,
shall treat your communications, whether
designed as. private and scurriIIous, or as
public missives Of arrogance and supercil-
iousness, as equally official There are
beauties in them which ought not to be
lost, and it shall not be my fault if do
not render your part of this correspondence
a memorable example 10 be stunned by
your successors.
To this the Secretary replies, Sept. 7th--
Nor am to be at all deferred from full
exposure of the groundlessness Of your
charges, by the threats you make of rem
dering my part of the correspondence a
memorable example, to be Stunned by my
successors. This is the merest bravado
in one who himself affords the most MEM
orable example on the records of this
Department of vain controversialist de-
fealed, and false accuser exposed"

Extraordinary .Snoping.--On Monday

entered the church of DR.. Cleveland, near
the Tonline building. The atmosphere in
the church was very cold, but d stream OF
warm air still rose from the furnaces, the
evaporators of which were partly filled
with water. Around one OF the furnaces
snow was gathered 10 the depth of three
or four inches, formed by the congelation
of the moisture in the ascending stream of
air from the furnace. At the height of a
few feet from the floor, the moisture was
seen congealing into bright crystals of
of beautiful forms, which fell in showers
to the floor. There was nearly busheI
of snow around one of the furnaces, and
even on the iron work of the register the
snow was piled up-the air rising from
the furnace through grating of snow.

ALL THAT'S BRIGHT MUST FADE.

All that's bright must fade,
The brightest still the feetest;
All that's sweet was made
But to be lost when sweetest;
Stars that shine and fall,
The flower that droops in springing
These, alas, are types Of all
To which our hearts are clinging.
Who would seek to prize
Delights that end in aching?
Who would trust to ties
That every hour are breaking?
Better far to be
In utter darkness lying,
Than be blest with light, and see
That light forever flying.
