Resignation of Gen. Scott.

He for whom the high and decidedly honora-
BILE position of Lieutenant General of the Army
of the United States was created, and upon whom
it first conferred, has voluntarily yielded back
to Government that appointment This was done
not because of want of patriotism or devotion
TO the Government, in whose cause he had grown
gray, but in obedience to the irrevocable laws of
nature.
General Winfield Scott, whose career began
early as q Lieutenant in the wars of his country
against foreign foe, has ended that career in a
halo of glory, sacrificing not only the yet lively
desire for military fame which was already grea-
ter than that acquired by any man of whom his
life which by ordinary inclination should have
been devoted to preparation for the future.
No man in our nations history has so arduous-
ly won, or SO worthily worn the homage of the
people as Gen. Winfield Scott. Early associa-
tions and the ties of kindred have been made by
his iron will and pure patriotic devotion to yield
to the stronger obligations Of duty to his coun-
try aud the post signed him. Less severe ex-
erlon in early life might have permitted him to
enjoy the glorious renown of commanding in per-
son the armies of the country in its present Sc
we're struggle, but age and infrmity have forced
him to yield TO others whom we can only hope
may prove as efficient as we know he would have
been under the circumstances.
The military history of our country has indis-
solubly associated with it the name Of Winfield
ton as a military people las been acquired
through his great achievements and superior
knowledge of tactics.
To active life he is lost but his works and ex-
ample will long live to inspire the patriot SOL
der, and renew correct idea of duty in the
hearts of the true Republican citizen.

LOUIS NAPOLEON AN ALcnEMIsT-Thc Bankers
Reporter publishes the following absurd story,
and apparently half believes it
=" 1t has been great mystery to English bank
ors, and to Direc tors of the bank of England how
the bullion Of the bank of France could be SO in.
creased within the last three years, while the in
stitudon has been constantly sending gold to Eng
land, to Germany and to America Not long
since the Bank of France drew some fifteen mil
hon francs in silver from the Bank Of England,
which 1t paid for in gold bars with the French
MINT stamp on them At its last report it showed
balance of one hundred and seventeen million
francs IN god while the amount one year ago was
under eighty mlions-nearly one third increase.
1t is whispered that this abundance Of gold is the
result OF scientific discovery, which the Emper-
or Napoleon has secured the monopoly Of Gold
is at the present moment manufactured at Paris
in a secret manner. The principal articles used
are not lead and arsenic and although it it not
known how extensively the precious metal is pro-
duced, yet several hundred weight of the materi-
al are taken to certain place on the first of each
month. Everything is conducted with the ut
most secrecy. None of the workmen are allowed
to leave, and nothing definite can be known ; but
the fact that gold is produced is beyond perad
venture. How long Napoleon III will be able to
keep this wonderful secret, remains to be seen"

CROOKES'S
.Invigorating Aromatic Vegetable
!Stomache Bitters,
For RESTORING & PRESERVING
HEALTH.
Pre- pared from Aromatic Bitter Herbs,
UNDER THE AUSPICLES or AN
EMINENT PHYSICL4N
Are an agreeable and palatable
Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, COM
bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one Of our venera-
BILE and eminent physicians during a
practice Of thirty years, in the latter
part Of which he used those Bitter
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment Of internal diseases and
for purifying the blood.
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled as
purifier Of the blood. By continuing
the use Of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for Il
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs Of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment of sound body and mind
Will soon he attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-
move every trace Of eruption or in
Illumination from the face or body as
they progress in the puritication of the
blood.
Viewing them simply as bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy Of flavor the finer grades of
choice Champagne Wines-the bit
ter principle being only perceptible
when felt in the good work Of purify
ing and invigorating.
For the use of old and Young off
both sexes they are admirably adap-
ted, being grateful to the taste; of an
exqisitcIv delicate Havor-imparting
to the palate a soothing aromatic ef-
feet, equalled only by its purity and
richness.
The following letter regarding the
purity and quality OF this Celebrated |
Tonic, from the eminent
and gifted physician and chemist,
Victor l.. Canning, 50 long and IA
vorahly known III connection with
the French Academy Of Science,
speaks for itself:
