WAR Between THE ADMINISTRATIONS
AND LIEUTENANT GENERAL Scorr. One |
of our Washington cores spondents, whose
letter will be found in another place, gives
us some interesting particulars of the quar-
rel now going on at Washington between
poor Pierce's pitifu administration and that
gallant veteran, Lieutenant General Scott
When we say that the matter in dispute is
only few thousand dollars extra pay, TO
which General Scott is entitled, the mean-
ness of the thing will be apparent 10 ALL
Further, plot has been contrived to annoy
the old hero by endeavoring to show that
when commanding in Mexico he charged two
and half per centum upon all the moneys
that passed through his hands. This is in
tended TO put General Scott in bad posi-
ton before the country and is miserable
attempt 10 steal his well earned laurels as
one of the greatest captains of the age. 1t
will not answer the purpose of its project
ors. II Gen. Scott did receive per cent
age on the moneys, we have no doubt that
he received it justly, and that he had prece-
dents for it, He is a man of honor and
| probity--above reproach, and we have no
doubt that he saved the government more
than twenty per centum of the funds in his
charge. Gen. Scott has conquered all the
enemies Of his country, and also conquered
his enemies at home in the Polk administra.
tion He will yet come out victorious in the
present contest.
Look at the position. The President oi
the United States, by the aid of some of the
Senators and the revolutionary bill, will re,
celve five thousand dollars-not for his own
but for his fathers services-while at the
same time he is endeavoring to prevent 6
: war-worn veteran from obtaining what i,
his own. 1t seems hardly possible that any
man sitting in the chair of Washington coult
stoop to such unparalleled meanness. The
people Of the United States will be sorry
that even Franklin Pierce could be guilty o.
such abasement. With regard to General
Scott, he has indeed learned something about
the proverbial ingratitude of republics: He
lived to see Wellington and Pelissier loaded
with wealth and honor, and he has ever
seen unsuccessful generals rewarded, Will,
his own country in the service of which hC
has passed his whole life, always conquer
or, has sighted his claims and refused hin
the few dollars which would have released
him from nil embarressments and smootheC
his downward course in the pathway OF life
We lack words strong enough TO expires
our unmitigated contempt for the admins
tration which could be guilty of such de
spicable meanness.

The Newly Invented War Engine

A correspondent of the New York Jour
nrl Of Commerce, alludirg TO the "iniernal
machine" which General Walkers friends
have recently purchased for lis army in
Nicaragua, thus explains its efficiency and
deadly instrumentality:
In form il resembles a small grindstone'
turned by crank, and will discharge 5000
one ounce balls every minute, attended by
only two men. Every machine is calculated
to destroy three regiments of soldiers in the
same space of time. 1t can be directed with
the same ease as a common rifle is handled.
The inventor, Yankee, is now in Eng
land experimenting before the admiralty,
and a great many old Generals, OF all coun-
tries, who evince much interest, and have
written letters expressive Of their wonder
and astonlshment. One distinguished Po-
lish General expresses himself TO the in
ventor: "that as soon as this deadly wea-
pom comes in use, wars and rumors Of war
must cease" The gun, or machine, dis
charges without report, and sends the ball
three times the distance of the ordinary ri
fle or cannon, as the case MAJ be. The
British government has offered the inven-
tor 100000 sterling. if he can enlarge his
machine to discharge sixty-four pound
shot. This he is now doing, and informs
his agent here he shall accomplish it. The
Russian Minister at London is anxious for
the patent, and has offered him his price;
but he says TO his friends, II mean no 9TH
er country shall have it but England and
my own country"
Previous to his going to Europe, he Of
fered the right to the American govern
ment at Washington. Experiments were
made with one ounce and seven pound can
donanes, before our naval and other officers,
by order of the Secretary of State, which
proved all have related above, and 10 the
entire satisfaction of those present. One
of these ''infernal machines" placed upon
the deck of vessel, one of the Commo-
dores remarked, "would sink a irigate in
three minutes" Such constant discharge
of balls, just as fast as they could be han
died and rolled in, with the accuracy they
can de directed, must inevitably destroy all
before it, besides the great distance and cut
Of danger of the enemys guns.

The Hair Snake,

The New England Farmer, dwelling up
on this singular species of "Animated Ma
turo," says:
"Science has not satisfactorily determined
either the origin or the modes Of existence
these animals. In reply TO inquiries by a
correspondent of the Michigan Farmer, who
found hair snakes in a pan of milk, Mr..
Justus Gage, Of that State, furnishes very
interesting account of his experiments and
observations. He is saiisfiend of the fact
that both the large and small crickets depos-
these snakes in water, during the month of
August; but whether the cricket resorts to
the water TO I'd itself of a parasite, or to de-
post natural product Of its body, he is un-
able TO determine. Mr.. Gage says, that one
morning after he had been throwing crick-
els into water TO obtain snakes, and had sue
ceeded in producing two, of about four inch
es in length, he noticed black cricket crawl
ing up the side of his water pail. at jump
ed into the water, laid quiet Tor q moment,
produced a snake nearly seven inches in
length, and then nimby made its escape over
the edge of the pail" He also found live
hair snake, nearly seven inches in length,
coiled up in the abdomen of dead cricket
that laid on its back under flat stone, The
hair snake, he says, will live long time in
moist earth, where he has found them of a
greyish or white color, sometimes of great
length, and much resembling the fibrous
root of some vegetable. When seen through
a mognifying glass, the hair snake presents
an almost exact resemblance to the lampry
eel.
A lady of our acquaintance found hair
snake in her tea kettle, one morning, few
years since. 1t had been standing where
cricket might have crawled in by the spout;
but she is hardly willing 10 give up the the
ory of her childhood, that it was viyifed
horse hair" la A.

Kansas Free State Legislature-Me Mem
bers in Limbo.
+ From the Democrat
TorEKA, JAN, Z, 1857.

TOPEKA, JAN, Z, 1857.
The Free State Legislature met at this
place yesterday. Most OF the members were
present, but neither Governor Robinson nor
Lieutenant Governor Robert were at their
post. The latter gentleman was detained At
Wyandotte, but will take his seat as soon
as he can reach Topeka. Governor Rob
inson as l before Informed you has resigned.
The absence of the two principal officers
created much dissatisfaction among the gen.
tlemen present, and after short session
they adjourned.
The U. S. Deputy Marshal. under writ
issued by Judge Cato, arrested seven of the
members on a charge Of treason, for having
taken the oath ofoffice on the 4th Of March
last. The arrests were made after adjourn
ment, and as the members were leaving the
House. understood they are 10 be immc-
tiately taken 10 Tecumseh, ard tried before
Judge Cato. Upwards Of thirty names were
attached to The writ rn. - .u
When the House again met the number
present, in consequence Of the arrests, was
not sufficient to form quoripn, and they
again adjourned, until the balance of the
members elected should come in and fake
their seats. If Lieutenant Governor Rob-
erts should remain away, the President Of
Senate will deliver the message, as acting
Governor. There is strong determina-
tion on the part Of majority Of the mem
bers to go on with the business for which
they have assembled; although it appears
doubtful 10 me that they will be able to dc
SO.
No attempt was made to resist the author
ity of the Marshal, yet very strong feeling
was exhibited by the people who had assem-.
bied TO witness the organization of the first
Legislature of the Territory.
The weather is extremely cold. To-day
the Thermometer is Ten degrees below zero.

REPRESENTATIVES, AND ELEcroRs IN
l860.-The Philadelphia Bulletin estimates
that the representative population in 1860,
throughout the Union, will be about 81 ,000,-
600, divided as follows: Free States, 2O,-
100000; Slave States, 100000. The
number of representatives being 234, the
ratio Of apportionment will be about l32,-
000 and the House will consist of l5l rep.
resentatives from Free States, and SO from
Slave States. BY the present apportion-
ment, there are l44 from Free States, and
80 from Slave States. The Bulletin distrib-
utes the members as follows: Southern
States, SO; New England States, %; Mid
die States, (New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania), 58; Western States, lin
Guiding California and Minnesota), 70. In
case of the admission into the Union of Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, or a new
State from part of Texas, these figures will
be somewhat modified, as each new st .te
will have at least one new member, and the
older States will loose in cores spending

are correct, the Presidential Electors for
1860 will number 296, of whom 1875 WILDE
