Interview with Gen. Scott.

We lind .he following in the Richmond
Examiner in reference to an interview
had with General Scott:
A gentleman whose character for intel
ligence aud integrity is well known IN the
State, has just reached Richmond from
Washington city, where lie spent day.
While there hs had conversation with
General Winfield Scott. This individual
spoke freely of the condition of the coun.
Try, which he piofessed to regret. He
said, however, that "he had always rec.
ogn'sed his allegiance MS due to the Uni.
tee States uI America that Lis course
Was nearly ended but tha, while he liy
ed he should always fight for the stars
and STRIPES lie wen, on to speak of
his having been atey insulted by
itichmond friend, who began to read
some proposition TO him, which he would
not permit him 10 finish" Thus vas un,
deIstood 10 be Il proposition 10 resign his
, commission as COMMANDMENT Chief of
the u"'e1 States Army, aud to accep,
The leadership Of the Virginia forces.-
Genera Scott declared that while "he
did "ot profess 10 speak rhG policy uf the
Government, lie believed tha, they would
no; maIcb all army Of Invasion into any
oi 'he seeded States, tut that they would
retake Forts Muullle and Sam,er and
llarrers Ferry at every cost. They
would also keep open the line of commu.
hcat'oi between the Ohio river and the
Fedora! Capital"
Such IS ne substance and nearly the
exact words used by General Scott On
Tue day last, TO citizen Of this State,
whose assertions may be relied OH.
Marching AN army Of fifteen to twenty
thousand m,u into Vlrgiuis ~ relake aud

Both Of these things should certainly
stay Sc"tt's advance on Virginia, but we

THE N. Y. SEVENTH REe1MESr.-The
following is from the Baltimore Sun, of
Monday:
One Of the members Of the New York
7th Regiment reached This city Saturday
afternoon. en- route for his home. He
stated that when they offered their servi
ces to the Government, it was for the de,
fence Of the Capital, and not to engage
IN warfare against a State or States
Fifty OF the members refused to take the
oath after reaching Washington, aud the
remainder took it coDditionaily that they
were not to be called on to 90 out Of the
District Of Columbia. The gentleman
who came to this city, says that the feel
i"gs Of the regiment towards the people
OF Baltimore are Of the kindliest character
and that they could not be induced to
invade the soil Of Maryland, or Of the
South, for hostile purpose. Several OF
the members Of the regiment are natives
of Baltimore, and the respect Of the whole
boIy for Baltimore IS very strong.

A Rich Story.

Some time since, when Jackson Couu.
ty was in its infancy, and the natives were
governed by laws by them enacted and
enforced at will, there WAS character
among them known as fdding joe
This man Joe was character not at all
known among the "cane biiers" as being
devoid OF fear, particularly upon the sub
Ject Of future punishment, being the Off
spring of rough, though Christian pa.
rents.
The Methodist Church, with its usual
care for those who are unable or unwil,
ling to employ ministers or purchase Bi
bles Tor the dissemination Of Christian
truths among them, sent missionary to
furnish the inhabitants with Bibles ard
preach the Gospel for their benefit.
On bright Sabbath morning, in the
pleasant month Of May, the minister, in
passing from one appointment TO another,
came upon the aforesaid Joe, sitting AS.
lrlde log, playing favorite tune of
Soap Suds Over The Fence" to his ell
tire satisfaction and that Of sold Ring"
who wacged his tail in appreciation of
his masters endeavors. The minister ap.
preached and quietly addressed the fid.
dler:

DAYToN ONO, Wednesday April ls.
To the Editors Of the Enquirer:

have word for the Republican press
and partisans of Cincinnati and o,ber
places abroad, who now daily falsify and
nsrepresent me and matters which con.
Germ me here in DAYTON.
My position in regard to civil war,
which the Lincoln Administration has in.
augurated, was long since taken, is ell
known, and wiH be adhered to, to the
end. Let that be understood. have
added nothing to it, sub,racted nothing
from it, said nothing about it publicly
since The war began. know well that
| am right, and that in little while the
"sober second thought Of the people" will
dissipa'e the present sudden and fee,ing
madness, and will demand to know why
thirty millions of people are ou,chering
each other in civil war, and will arrest it
speedily. But, meantime, should my
own State be invaded, or threated with
invasion, AS soon as il may be, then, as n
loyal native born son OF OHIO, acknowl.
edging my frs, allegiance to he TO her,
will aid in defending her to the last ex
tremily, asking no questions. Whoever
stall refuse then, or hesitate, will be a
traitor and bastard. And this same
rule apply AS well to the people of Vir.
ginis, Kentucky, or Missouri, MS to any
OF the free States, North or West.
AS 10 myself no threats have been
made 20 me personally ; none within my
hearing no violence offered no mob
gathered anywhere none will be ; no
body afraid Of any any every statement
or ru,ror in regard to me circulated oral.
~. or published in the Republican press,
is baSeIy idle AMI false And now let
me add, for the behefi, of the cowardly
slanderers Of Cincinnati, or elsewhere,
who libel me daily, that if they have any
business with me, can be found any
day, and at any time, either al home. on
the northwest corner of First and Lud

Governments are Instituted among men,
