ScoTT's BATTLEs.-We fud, by reference to
history of the Mexican war; that Gen. SCOTS total
loss in the seven battles, by which the city of
Mexico won, was, in killed wounded and mis-
sing, 2,7l3. In the recent battle at Manassas,
he probably lost near ten times that number. This
difference can be accounted for from the fact that
instead of fighting Mexicans, he was fighting the
men who fought the Mexicans.

GETTING UP PARTIES.

We see intimations in some of our cotempora-
ries of alleged schemes for creating parties The
illusions may be to the proceedings of Congress in
secret session, Of which we know nothing. 1t is
said that gentlemen from some States South of us.
dissatisfied with of the actions of the Govern
ment or Of some of its members, are disposed to
form opposition, with the view of infusing more
vigor into the Administration and to substitute
different at the next election. We are not
advised of the particular Of dissatisfaction
nor Of the extent of it we only infer that it
grows out of our altered condition, and has no re-
lation whatever to the old distinction of Wing and
Democrat.
For our part, we have very great aversion to
anything like party in such crisis as this. We
had hoped and believed that the men in authority
possessed the requisite ability for conducting
wisely and successfully the affairs of the Govern
ment; and, meriting, would receive the hearty
support Of an undivided people
The existence of party may be an inevitable
incident to free government; but in times like
these We have no resources to waste in party squab
bles. The united energies of the country are
needed for it's salvation, and should be devoted to
that end.-Richmond Whig.

Col. HEINTzELMAN's REpoRr.--The good
fame of the N. Y. Fire Zouaves is sadly damaged
by Col. Heintzeman's official report. Col. H. is a
U. S. army officer, and appears to take pleasure in
recording the cowardice of the Northern Volun-
teers. He says of the Zouaves, "at the first fire
they broke,' and "the regiment, as regiment,
did not appear again the field" II then led
up the Minnesota regiment, which aoos also re-

was led forward the First Michigan, achich ras

Senator Sumner had an interview with the
President to-day in relation 70 the offer of military
aid by the Legislature of Massachusetts for the
defense of Federal property and the enforcement
of the laws.
Mr.. Sumner asked-"What more can Massa-
chusetts do for the UnOu?'
The President replied Adopt the resolutions
proposed by Mr. Crittenden."
Mr. Sumner rejoined-"The public sentiment
of Massachusetts, makes that impossible, and
agree with the sentiment.

of the Administration is absurd if the forts be re-
garded as property only and the purpose be to
protect it, He considers the various ways of pro-
tecting property and shows that a commission
will not afford protection. Whether the forts be
taken or not property will be injured. This in
iury he saws can be avoided. and every dollar
its full value. The communication proceeds to
consider the result of refusal to settle the ques-
ton as one property-one of dollars and cents
as the Government basel its whole action on the
idea of protecting property.
Col Hayne contends that the question should
be considered as one involving property alone; as
such it could be easily arranged. He says further
that he is instructed to assure the President that
any attempt to re-enforce will be considered a
declaration of war.
The Cabinet was in session to-day on the COM
munication.
The anticipation is that the President will only
reply to Col. Hayne that he will send the com
munication to Congress, and that he will reply to
the reasoning in special message.
This will deprive Col. Hayne Of rejoinder.

THE HoosIER STATE.-This is he name of a
draining pillow patented by Jones & Jewett of St.
Paul, Indiana, and sold by them. They offer
State, county, and township rights for sale on
reasonable terms, and there is certainly no imple
ment used by the farmer, North or South, that of
fers greater inducements to spectators than this
one. The pillow, as will be seen from the cut
which will be found in this weeks paper, is so ar
ranged as to adapt itself to all inequalities of the
surface of the ground, thus making the drain
level. The mole D. and nose Z, are connected
together by means of togge joint so constructed
that the nose may be turned upor down, by means
of the pendant bar d, and combined screw and
lever h and e, thus making the mole ad
Unstable, thereby enabling the operator to
run the drain level independent of the
foundations of the ground, and having the
machine perfectly under his control, can run
it into or out of the ground at pleasure,
with perfect ease. The bal, a, is secured on an
axis in the top of the mole and back of the cut
ter with about two-fifths of its diameter project
ing above the mole. When the machine is drawn
forward, the ball a, revolves backward. and COM
pletely arches the drain, and effectuay closes the
opening made by the cutter, and revolving leaves

vantages of revolving packer, over drag or
follower, must be apparent to the mind of every
practical farmer. The wheel rolls over the
opening above and closes it, to prevent anv wash

From Chicago.

CHICAGO, SATURDAY FEBRUARY z
The Illinois Senate Committee on Federal Re-
lations yesterday reported that with an earnest de.
sire for a return of harmony among all of our sis
ter States, and out of respect to the Common
wealth of Virginia, the Governor be required to
appoint FIVE commissioners to attend the conven-
ton at Washington on the 4th inst.
The second resolution saws that the appoint
ment of commissioners by the State of Illinois in
response to the invitation of the State of Virginia
is not expression of opinion on the part of this
State that any amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition is required to secure to the people OF the
slaveholding States adequate guarantee for the
security of their rights, nor an approval Of the
basis of settlement of our difficulties proposed by
the State of Virginia, but expression of our
willingness to unite with the State of Virginia in
an earnest effort to adjust the present unhappy
controversy in the spirit in which the Constitution
originally framed and consistent with its prin
cipes.
The third resolves that the appropriate and con-
sttutional method of considering and acting upon
grievances complained of by our sister States,
would be by call of n convention for the amend
ment of the Constitution, in the manner contem-
plated by the fifth article of that instrument.
The resolutions were adopted by vote of Is
to l0-a party vote.
Gustavus Koerner has declined the appointment
of commissioner. and Judge Palmer has been APP
pointed in his stead.
The Springfield correspondent of the Tribune
says that Mr. Lincoln returned to Springfield yes
terday. He had reception on Thursday evening
at the Court house in Charleston. On being
pressed to make a speech, he declined to indicate
in any way his future policy, but expressed great
qualification at the hearty unanimity with which
all parties had come forward to welcome him.
On his return he met a committee of citizens
from Cincinnati, who came to tender him the hos.
FATALITIES of that city on his way to Washington.
They returned yesterday bearing a letter of
cepting the invitation.
In accordance with the resolution of the Legis-
lature passed yesterday, Gov. Yates appointed the
following commissioners to Washington: Stephen
