says that General Scott has given the Presi-
GEM an elaborate opinion In reference to the
present condition of the military defences of
the country, aud what should be done in view
OF possible contingencies lie OF course depre-
cafes secession, and begs his own State of Vir-
ginia To pause and bear the ills she has rather
than ny TO those she knows not of. Bot, if Sc
cession occurs, he says IL will result not in the
formation of two, but four distinct nationali-
ties. ne correspondent gives the divisions as
near as he can recollect them. "a follows The
nTst will probably consist Jf New YORK, New
Engiasd, Pennsylvania. Michigan Wisconsin,
Iowa aod Minnesota; the sacoud will consist
OF lndiaha, Illinois, Ohio, Western Virginia,
and so along down the Blue Ridge taking in
western FLORIDA, Alabama, Mis,issi spi, Louis.

sour and Texas. The third will consist of
SouIh Carolina. Georgia, East Florida, East
ern virginia, and perhaps Mary land and Usa-
ware. he PScifc States will constitute the
fourth. The General treats the exclusion of
the grain-growiug States OF the West from a
direct comtsunication with the Gulf of Mexi-
co as an impossbiliiy. Toey will have free
course to go down the Mississippi, and will
insist upon Pensacola as naval depot. He
also gives, IL is said. an elaborate statement Of
the disposition of The military forces of the ma
