THE LION IN HIS LAIR.

The correspondent of Chicago paper gives
the following picture of the General that nev.
er made retreat, as he appears in his Office
at Washington
'' Enfeebled in body, but clear minded and
vigorous intellect as ever, General Scott is
now eheerfully undergoing labors that would
oyertax the strength of many far his juniors
in life and in service. An early hour of the
day fuds MIN surrounded by aids and advi..
sers, and not until late hour of the night
does the work cease. The hustle and din of
the city and camp are hushed at nightfall.
but not for many hours later does the head
quarters of the Lieutenant General lose its
features of activity.
1.-The scene on the day in question was
one on which the pencil of Leutz would
dwell lovingly to the production of painting
that should be vivid history. General Scott,
suffering more than usual by an attack Of
gout, lay half reclining upon lounge drawn
into the centre of the large apartment, his
feet resting upon pillows (not the pillows
of Tennessee, upon whom, if the fellow does
not retreat to ditch, he will set his foot
presently
: On the wall opposite the lounge occupied
by Gen.Scott were suspended two large mil.
ltary maps OF Virginia and Maryland with
all their careful details, closely represent.
ing the country, its features, accesses, fast
nesses, and approaches. 1t was noticeable
that about Harper's Ferry, Richmond, and
Norfolk were drawn large circles, within
which the details became more minute, with
symbols and signs abundant, of significance
to the military men, to which belongs to the
War office.
=" By General Scott's side lay long l;ghs
reed, which he made use of in pointing to-
different localities on these maps. Aids.
amanuenses, advisers were all busy, Quietly
and all without stir or confusion.
In and on such scenes and consultations,
rest safely the fate of this war and the
speedy and condign punishment of traitors.
Probably no one but the hungrer of the
Washington correspondents will regreat or
fail to applaud the wisdom of the War De.
partment, or indeed, of the Government. as
whole, in only sparlngly admitting to con-
fidence the newspers and the general public.
1t is enough to know that the Government

for the crushing out of treason, and that

will make the setting sun of the old hero.i il.

A Richmond Editors Raving'
About the " Yankees"

To he conquered in open and manly fight
by nation of gentlemen, aud subjected to
their sway, might drive US raving distracted
with rage and shame but for Yankees-the
most contemplate and detestable of God s
creation-tbe vile wretches, whose daily sus
tenance consists in the refuse of all other
people-fOr they eat nothing that anybody
else will buy-for them to lord over us-the
English language must be enlarged new
words must be invented to express the tx
tent and depth of oar feeling of modification
and shame. No, it is not possible that we
can be reduced to state to which there is
no words to describe.
Instead Of this, we must bring these en-
franchised slaves back to their true condi-
ton. They have long looked upon them
selves as our social infsriors-as as our serfs-
their mean niggaid y lives their low, vulgar
and sordid occupations have ground this con-
viciion into them. But of a sudden, they
have come to imagine that their numerical
strength gives them power-and they have
burst the bonds of servitude, and are run
ming riot with more than the brutal passions
of liberated wild beast. Their uprising has
all the characteristics of ferocious, seryile
insurrection. The first aim is demolition
the destruction of everything which has the
least appearance of superior virtue, which
excises their envy and hate, and which, by
contrast, exposes the shameful deformitY of
their own lives.
Thep have suggested to US the invasion of
their territory and the robbery of their banks
and jewelry stores. We may profit by the
suggestion SO far as the invasion goes-fo
that will enable us to restore them to their
normal condition of vassalage, and teach them
that cap-in-hand is the proper attitude of the
servant before his master. A cock for sail
or, goose for soldier-a yankee for a gen.
tleman-- images incongruous and unnatural.

k The prompt action of Gen. Grant, in
taking possession of Paducah, after he had
aseertained that Tennesseans had invaded
Kentucky, and occupied Hickman and Co

cession proclivities, and genuine Unionists
have been compelled to submit to as many
indignities as though they resided in South

been driven from the town in the most hui

ETOur Surveyor seems to be doing a
most lively business. His Office was crowd
ed during the most of the day Saturday,
and permits were greatly in demand
Many of the gentlemen who seek permiS-
sion to ship goods to good union men in
Kentucky (none others ever apply express
cd their opinion that the Surveyor was as
cool as though he had been brought up in
an ice-hOuse. The Surveyor on the other
hand, is considerably surprised at the enor-
nous quantities of e.-ads ccrsurro Cd
Their consumption of bacon gives evidence
Of q voracity heretofore unknown. AS for
coffee, the Surveyor gives it as his candid
opinion that the entire population of
Smithland have abandoned the use of wa
ter altogether, and coffee is the only bever-
age used. The quantities of fresh meat too
on the point of spelling for lack of salt is
also quite marvellous, and permits for the
shipment of salt to save the meat are de-
manded with an Importantly that is quite
irresistible. Altogether, the Surveyor has
his hands full.
