between General Scott and we'll.
known citizen of Virginia, whose as,
sertions, it says, may be relied upon
The Informant of the Examiner pro.
tesses to give nearly the exact words
Of the general. We quote:
He (Gen. Scott) spoke freely OF
the condition of the country, which
he professcd to regret. He said,
however, that "he had always recog-
nized his allegiance us due to the
United States of America that his
course was nearl v ended, but that
while he lived he should always fight
tor the stars and stripes" He went on
to speak of his having been "latelv
insulted by a Richmond friend, who
began to read some propositions to
resign his commission rs commanders
iti-cfiief of the United States army,
and to accept the leadership of the
Of the Virginia forces Gen. Scot,
declared "tl,at while he did not pro-
fess to speak the policy of the gov
ernment, he believed that they would
not march an army of invasion into
any of the seeded States, but they
would retake Forts Moutrie aud
Sumter, and Harper's Ferry, at.
every cost. They would also keep
open the line of communication be-
tween the Ohio river and the feder-

Hon. l.. G. Nallandingllam, of Ohio,
has published a card, in which he
says:
My position in regarc to this civil
war, which the Lincoln admiuistra-
ton has inaugurated, was long since
taken, is we'll known and will be ad-
hcred to to the end Let that be un-
derstood> l have added nothing to
it, subtractcd nothing from it, said
nothing about it publicly, since the
war began. l know we'll that | am
right, and that in a little while "thc
sober, second thought Of the people,
will dissipate the present sudden and
ticeting public madness, and will de-
mand to know why thirty millions Of
people are butchering each other in
civil war, and will arrest it right
speedily.
Meantime should my own State be
invaded, or threatened with invasion,
rs soon it may be, then, as loyal ma
tive born son of Ohio, acknowledge
ing my first allegiance to tie to her, |
will aid i'll defending her to the last
extremity, asking noquestions. Who
ever shall refuse then, or hesitate
Will be Il traitor and Il bastard. And
this same rule ! apply as we'll to the
people Of Virginia, Kentucky or
Missouri, as to any ofthc free States,
North or West.
As to myself: no threat have been
made to me personally none within
my hearing; no violence offered ;
no mob anywhere none will be
nobody afraid of any, and every
