We remember to have heard the
following anecdote told of the late
Henry Clay and Gen. Scott, though
we have no recollection of having
seen it in print:
Clay, it should be promised, had
not special antipathy to Gen. Scott,
though the upstart pride and exccs-
sive VANITY and self conceit of the
"young hero" and the fuss h. made
over the wound he received in the
battle of Lundy's Lane, filled him
with unutterablc disgust. During
the session of Congress following the
peace Of 1915, dinner party was
given at the Executive mansion, at
which these two distinguished indi-
viduals We're present After dinner,
the Gen. retired, with others, of the
party to the card rooms to a socia-
bic game of whist. Some time after
he was seated, Mr.. Clay entered the
room fresh from the dining saloon,
and highly exhilarated. Walkingup
to Scott he familiarly slapped him on
the wounded shoulder, which made
the General writhe with pain as he
exclaimed, 'Mr Clay, ! will thank
you to keep your hands of--you've
hurt my wound, SIR 'Ah, Scott

Keeping the Cotton Safe.

--@ g. - "a .e
This is the caption Of an article
we find published in the New York
Herald, and which we place below
for the careful perusal of our readers.
Mr.. Bennett, the editor, it appears
las actually discovered the astound-
ing fact, that in Charleston the cotton
factors have, as our factors in New
Orleans, been sensibly addressing
circulars to the planters advising the
retention Of cotton on their respec-
tive plantations until otherwise direc-
ted. The editor it is evident does
not appreciate such a course, but he
endeavors to couch his language so
as to make his readers believe that
this intelligence has no effect upon
his nerves, but the poor creature fails
in the attempt. The observant read
er will readily make this discovery,
for it is perceptible in every line Of
his editorial, that while penning it
large drops of sweat We're issuing
from every pore in his body, and ever
and anon his eyes We're cast around
him to see if any intruder perchance,
was scrutinizing the contortions of
his face, and rapid rate at which his
pen was gliding over the paper
Hear him, "and give an attentive
hearing to what he shall unfold:
We perceive that the cotton factors
of Charleston have addressed circu-
lar to the planters Of South Carolina,
the sea-ports, could not be exported,
it would convenient crowd the
stores and wharves, and the ordinary
risks Of fire a"e. robbery would be in
creased. They therefore recommend
the planters OF that and other States
to send none Of their cotton to market
until the blockad is removed from all
the Southern ports, but to make ar
rangements to stow it carefully under
their own sheds and gin hous es.-
There is no doubt that the chief OBJ
ject Of this is to prevent, if possible,
the capture Of the cotton crop by the
United States forces. 1t is probably
thought "down south" that the stor-
age of any large quantity of the fibre
at any port might offer too great an
inducement to our ships-of- to
enter and take possession of it. But
if the rebels think that allowing it to
remain on the plantations will pre-
vent our taking possession of it when
the proper time comes, they are very
much mistaken. 1t is quite imma-
I Iterial to us whether it is stored on the
plantations or at the water side
Either will be almost equally con-
venient.
When the time comes they will
take our cotton. This we Judge is
yet to be proven to the satisfaction OF
our soldiers, who will, "when the
time comes," cause them to think of
something else besides cotton. The
days of the braggart are numbered
