ReasSn Of General sOOtps Sudden RE-

ReRson Of General sootts Sudden Re
turn.
General Scott arrived in New York on
Thursday, 26th inst, after an absence of but
forty-seven days. The larger part Of this
short period was spent on the ocean. Nearly
all the remainder of the time he was at
Paris, where he arrived on the 26th ultimo.
His departure from that city took place on
the 10th instant.
It is known that the General intended to
remein abroad several months, and to ex-
tend his journey to Italy, but the plan OF
his tour was changed solely for reasons con-
nected with the present relations OF our
Government with foreign powers. With
out reference to the interviews which took
place between the General and Prince
Napoleon, and afterward with Minister
Thouvenel, it is stated that he would, in any
event, have embarked for home at a very
early period, in view of possibility of
war between the United States and England,
IN which France might eventually be in
volved The General felt that so long as he
remained in Europe his free communication
win TINS country might De interrupted, and
that his speedy return might be prevented.
The General, who has had unusual oppor-
tunities of ascertaining the convictions of
eminent men abroad, and of judging what
course will be taken by England and France,
is profoundly impressed with the danger of
the breaking out of hostilities between Eng.
land ard the United States at very early
period, and believes in the necessity of
prompt action on the part of our Govern
ment to avert a collision. He is satisfied lin
what manner and for what causes will be
explained hereafter) that in no case can we
expect any aid or even countenance from
France, and believes that whatever action
may be taken by the latter, will at least
operate against us in the event of an appeal
to arms.
The General, it may be added, is much
gratiied with what now appears to be the
position of our Government, and regards the
prospect of peaceable adjustment of the
difficulty as much better than it seemed to
be in Europe.

In consequence of the hesitation exhibited
by the Federal Administration to sanction
formal exchange of prisoners, lest, by so
doing, they should in some way embarrass
their position and action in crushing the
rebellion, a committee was recently ap-
pointed by the Massachusetts Historical
Society to inquire into and report to what
extent an exchange of prisoners was effected
during the American Revolution, and espe-
cially to ascertain and report if, by such ex-
changes, the rights of sovereignty claimed
by the crown were supposed in England to
have been in any way impaired or set aside
From the report of the committee it appears
that, from the battle of Lexington to the
close of the Revolutionary War, exchanges
of prisoners constantly took place, and often
in considerable numbers, although the Brit
ish Government steadily and cautiously
avoided recognizing the independence OF the
colonies, or making any political admissions
whatsoever. They permitted exchanges,
under rules Of war, for purposes Of military
convenience, and in relief of the sufferings Of
their own officers and privates in captivity.

ReIJRious Newspapers.

There are published in this city, by the
Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist
Churches, several most excellent journals:
and we were under the impression that they
received large patronage not only from
church members but from persons not con-
nected with any denomination. But if these
journals are we'll patronized, the patronage
does not come from residents of the city, as
appears from a statement made by the Fes
tern ChTistian Adcocate, one of the best
papers in This or any other county. That
paper states that Especial efforts were made
last year to circulate the Western Christiqn
AdUoedte in Cincinnati, but with all the extra
effort made, we now have a circulation in
the city Of less than four hundred"
When we remember the large membership
of the Methodist Church in this city, the
above statement will be surprising. Less
than four hundred subscribers to so good a
paper as the AdUocdte, and where there is so
large membership, certainly evinces lack
of interest among the members in church
matters that seems not little remarkable.
But it appears that the religious papers
in the East are no better patronized. The
Advocate and Journal of New York, says
that Tin New York and vicinity, where we
have a million and half of population,
fifty Methodist churches, and membership
of ten or fifteen thousand, the Advocats has
a circulation of only sixteen hundred"
Notwithstanding the meager patronage
received in the cities, these journals receive
a large circulation in the rural districts.
We believe the AdoOcate, of this city, has a
circulation of near forty thousand copies

SESOToR FEssESDEs on ECosoMY MY.-Senator
FesseIden, Chairman of the Finance Com

marks the other day:

soon come TO termination disastrous TO the
country, unless economy was presstently
precticed and applied 10 every branch of the

IN the raising of regiments of cavalry,
Although it was supposed that tws~saf
thousand cavalry would be the highest pS1
bic number that could be raised advantage
Qpsly, authority has been given to raise
sixty regiments, consisting generally of one
thousand two hundred men each. 1t was
utterly impossible to arm more than half of
them, and yet the horses were bought and
the men were paid by the Government.
There was an unnecessary expenditure of
100000 year, and yet no steps were
taken TO disband these unnecessary regi.
ments. They had been told that Congress
should leave the conduct OF the war to the
Executive Government. He would will
ingly do so il the Executive Government
would provide the means for carrying it on /;
but when Congress was called upon to do so
and TO tax the people, it was its duty to in. /.

was expended.

A DARING ExPLoIT-A few DAYS since a
squad of some half dozen left Colonel
Shackleford's Regiment at Calhoun, on
Green River, to bring back three soldiers
who had gone to Todd County. While on
their route, after night, they came upon some
hty rebel cavalry, and our men seeing that
resistance would be useless, took TO the
woods. One OF them, named Wilkins, was
separated from his companions, aud, in wind
ing about through the woods came several
times IN close proximity to rebel squads, but
succeeded in euding them. He at last over.
took three of them, and seeing that his
chances we're desperate, he determined to
join them and pass himself off as one of their
lumber. By keeping a little 10 the rear, he
watched favorable opportunity, when he
drew his revolver, and firing rapidly, killed
one, badly wounded another, and caused the
third 70 take to fight. Wilkins succeeded
10 making his escape and returned to cam o
at Calhoun, where gentleman arrived the
next day from Elkton, and stated that the
rebel cavalry reported tina: the country was
oVerrun with Federal troops, and that they
had been forced to retreat before superior

In Washington last We elk, q horssman, clad
in q sort of cavalry costume with a heavy
overcoat and slouched hat, had been noticed
for some time dashing about the city in
rather a suspicious manner. AT last the au.
thoTities felt themselves warranted in arrest
ing him; and accordingly one morning
when trottipg down Pennsylvania avenue,
he found himself surrounded by a file Of
soldiers, and was carried off to prison. The
investigation that followed resulted not only
in the discovery of certain important papers,
but also of the fact that the gallant cavalier
was woman. How long she has been at
the game it is impossible to guess.
