Mrs. Gen. Winfield Scott, it is said, de-
signs visit to Richmond mt an early day,
in the Hope of saving certain property in
licritcd by her from her father, old Col. j.
Mayo. Mrs. Scott is represented to be
very ardent Secessionist, but whether this
political bias has been given her by the act
of scquestration or results from spirit of
natural antagonism to her husband, or
whether, indeed the Nhole story may not
be fabulous, pretend not to say. The Gen.
himself would doubtless gladly furnish her
with a passport if lie thought he should
never see her again, for he has two mortal
hatreds in his military bosom, first for Mrs.
Scott second for Virginia, hatreds equally
deadly, but the first of longest standing
and yet the old wretch feels compunctions
for his base and parricidal conduct toward
his native State. A few days since he be-
haved with almost overpowing rolitcness to-
wards lady on her way to Virginia, the
daughter of his illustious preceptor in the
law, and had the audacity TO send his re-
CARDS to family in this city by whom his
recent conduct is regarded with proper con-
tempt and adherence. More than two
months ago it was stated that he had writ
ten to relative in neighboring county
desiring that he might be buried in Virgin
ia soil. Perhaps this request may be grant

How MEssns. SLIpELL AND Mason wENr
TO EUR0RI.-The Petersburg Express, Of
the nth inst, has II from most reliable
source, that the splendid Confederate States
steamer Nashville ran the blockade Oft
Charleston, s. C.. on Friday night last, and
is now rapidly Speeding her way across the
broad Atlantic. The Nashville is comman-
ied by Lieut.. Robert Pegram. native Of
Virginia, and as gallant an officer as ever
trod the deck of ship, The Express says'
She takes out precious freight, too, In
the persons OF the Hons, Jas. NJ. Mason and
John Slidell-the first one accredited Com.
missioner TO the CoIrt Of ST. James, and the
latter going In the same capacity TO the
Court of ST. Cloud. James Edward MoFar-
land, Esq, of this city, goes ms private
Secretary TO Mr.. Mason, and the Hon.
George Eusiis, of New Orleans, as Secre-
tary TO Mr.. Slidcll. The Nashville of course
takes out full mail, aud valuable Official
documents for our Commissioners, who have
been on the continent for many months
past. She is one OF the swiitcst steamers
that has ever piled in American waters,
aud when running between New York and
Charleston MS a regularmail and passenger
packet, no vessel was ever enabled 10 show
the Nashville her stern, We wish her and
all on board speedy passage and safe ar

SUPREME CouRr.-lhe Supreme Court
commenced its session at this place last
week, with full bench.
We learn, from one Of the judges, that
the business of this court is so far behind,
that constant work for two years would not
probably more than dispose of the business
now on hand. The business is now taken
up only in the regular order of the docket
So those seeking justice now through this
Court arc Mt some distance from the end

YANKEE AFFECTION FOR THE NEGRO
We learn three out of the four negro men,
pilots and boatmen, who made their escape
at certain point on the North Carolina
coast, to one of the Yankee vessels, endea-
vored to return to their home, and were
shot in thr attempt. They were worked SO
hard by the Yankees that they could not
stand it and were shot down liked dogs when
they tried to get away.-Selm& Reporter.

A very singular advertisement appears
in the Liverpool papers. 1t states tipt on
the re opening of the port of Charleston,
three steam ships will be dispatched for
that port taking freight and passengers.
This is followed by the usual reference to
the agents. 1t seems to look to speedy
rc-opening of the ports, and taken on con-
nection with the decline in the price of cot
ton, is somewhat significant.
