VARIOUS WAR ITEMS.

GENERAL ScoTT DESCRIBED by THE Rev. DIR.
CHASYISG-In lecture, delivered quarter Of CEN
tury ago by the late DR.. Claiming, occurs the follow
ing language in regard to General Scott:
"To this distinguished man belongs the rare honor
Of uniting, with military energy and daring, the sPir
Of q pbianihropst. His exploits in the field, which
placed him in the front rank Of soldiers have been
obseured by the purer and lasting glory Of pa
ciGcator and of q friend of mankind. In the whole
intercourse of civilized with baIbarous or hafcyilizcd
communities we doubt whether brighter page can
be found than that which records his agency in reoy-
ing the Cherokecs. As far the wrongs done to this
race can be atoned General Scott has made the expia
ton In his recent mission TO the disturbed borders
of our country, he has succeeded, rot 80 much by
policy as by the nobleness and generosity Of his char
acter by moral influences, by the earnest conviction
with which he has enforced on all with whom he had
10 do the obligations OF patriotism, justice, humanity
and religion. Ii would not be easy TO find among US
a man who has won purcr fame; and am happy to
offer this tribute because would do tomething, no
matter how little, to hasten the time when the spirit
of Christian humanity shall be accounted essen
tial attribute and the brightest ornament IN public
man.
