THE Position OF GEN. ScoTT.-Hon. S. A
DOUGLAS made speech at Columbus, Ohio,
at midnight, the 22d inst. Speaking of Gen.
SCoTr, he said
saw him just before left Washington. 1
found him at Army Head Quarters, so busy
writing orders and experimenting the bust
ness of preparing for the defence OF the coun-
try, that he told me that "while he would
be glad to have an hours conversation with
me, yet would be doing the country ser
vice not to interrupt him moment
(Cheers.)
Leaving head quarters, and going down
street, met distinguished Virginian, who,
not two months ago was a devoted Union
man. He said he had just been discharging
a principal duty. He had been appointed
chairman of committee appointed by the
Virginia convention to wait upon General
Scott, and offer him supreme command of the
Virginia troops. "The Old General" said
my Virginia friend, received me courteous
ly, heard me patiently, and replied'-''Sir,
for fifty years have devoted my life and my
energies to the flag of my country. So long
as God permits me to live will continue to
stand by that flag, and defend it against all
assailants even il should find among them
ny native Stated Virginis.)

Traitors, Look out:

1t is stated to us that a Tennessean mer-
chant, now in this city, apparently on legiti-
mate business, is in reality the secret agent
of band of traitors in Tennessee, provided
by them with gold with which to purchase
and forward arms to his fellow-traitors.
It is we'll that this person should know
that the authorities are keeping strict
watch upon his movements, and that if be is
caught in any reasonable acts his punish
ment is certain.
He is aided in his rascally work by two
firms, also known to our authorities, who will
not escape the punishment of traitors If they
do not hold their hands.
Tennessee is a loyal State, and 1t will not be
suffered that arms from our city shall aid the
few traitors there in subv erting the liberties
OF her citizens.--G y Post.

THEIR REAL OBJECr.-The Pennsylvania
Daily Telegraph, in reply to the Patriot and
Union, of that State, says: Is it not rather
late in the day. then, for the Patriot and
Union to talk of sectional feeling-and is it
not false piety which denominates that as
atrocious which seeks the crushing of slavery
forever on the ramparts itself has erected
for the destruction of liberty! Are we going
to war for the purpose of maintaining the
government? Yes, Mr.. Patriot. Or is it
merely an undertaking to crush slavery for
ever? This government, it is now plainly
understood among all its friends, cannot be
restored and firmly fixed on its old fouuda-
tions unless the institution of slavery is
shorn of the prestige accorded to it by such
Northern advocates as the Patriot and Union.
and, therefore, it would be folly for the peo-
ple of the free States to engage in a conflict
which had not for its end some object of this
description"

The Legislature.

The Legislature convened in extra session
yesterday. Governor Harris delivered
message strongly urging resistance to the
vsr of .ubjugstion which Is being waged
azainst the South, and the prompt severance
of the connection of Tennessee with the Fed
eral Government. Both Houses resolved to
hold their sessions with closed doors. Our
reports of the proceedings are therefore mea-
gre. So far as We were able TO ascertain, the
members generally recognise the necessity OF
speedy and ample preparation for thorough
and successful defence of the State and OF
her sisters of the South.

From Baltimore.

was received yesterday:

The following is from the Baltimore
American:
Mayor Brown, of Baltimore, went to
Washington on Sunday, at the earnest re-
quest of the President, and had long inter-
view in the presence Of the Cabinet and
General Scott"
The President urged the absolute necessity
of transit through Baltimore. Scotts opinion
was to bring troops through Maryland avoid
ing Baltimore, if the people would permit it.
1t not, troops must select their own best
route, and if needs must fight their way
through.
The President and Secretary of War
heartily concurred in the desire to avoid col
lision.
The Mayor said the authorities would use
all lawful means to prevent parties leaving
the city to attack troops passing at dis
tanee, but was unable to promise more
The President answered that no more
troops would be sent through the city unless
DISTRACTED in other directions, with the IN
derstanding that the city authorities use their
best efforts to restrain the people.
