WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.
Gen. Scott, through the columns of the Ma
tional Intelligencer, briefly and finally replies
to ex-President Buchanan, denying that he
tScott) has any private resentments to gratify,
and stating that he has received many official
courtesies from the late President of the U.
s., but to vindicate the justice and truth of
history is paramount obligation. Gen. Scott
then shows that certain Southern States re-
oeiyed an undue proportion of arms, and that
many of them were not condemned.
Commander George III. Cooper has been Or
dered to the temporary command of the Con-
necticut, and upon his arrival at Port Royal,
S. c., to transfer the Connecticut to Captain
Stella Vagen, and to assume command of the
Mercidita.
The Committee of Ways and Means have
prepared bill authorizing all officers under
the direct tax and excise laws to administer
oaths.
In the Mcdowell Court of Inquiry to-day,
the defence offered the testimony of Colonel
Ruggles to prove that the witness examined
yesterday was a man wholly without good
reputation, having been engaged in attempting
frauds against the government, but this testi-
mony was ruled out by the court, when Gen.
Mcdowell entered protest against the PRO-
ceedings. Gen. Heintzelman testified to the
entire total abstinence of Gen. Mcdowell from
tuc uSc vi Wiiits anu h4uoie. uilCShy Soheidiy
to the evidence of the prisoners witness.
In the Porter court martial case, Gen. Pope
was cross examined for long time by the
counsel for the defendant. Among the ques-
tions asked Gen. Pope was why he had ex-
pressed to Gen. Porter two days after his alleged
disobedience of orders, his determination not
to report him for delay, or to take any action
looking to his impeachment. To this question
Gen. Pope answered that he did not think that
Gen. Porter deliberately withheld his troops
from him, but that this idea probably originat-
ed in a mistake or blunder.
The committee on the Conduct Of the War
at its meeting to-day appointed Representa-
tives Covode, Gooch and Odell sub-commit-
tee TO investigate the alleged abuses at the
camp of the convalescents, also the condition
of the wounded and sick soldiers with view
to the immediate discharge of those who may
be found to be permanently disabled or unfit
for duty. The committee will also investigate
the subject of absenteeism of officers and men
from the army without proper authority, and
the conduct of army surgeons and their treat
ment of the men entrusted TO their care
They will also recommend the adoption of
stringent measures to promote the efficiency
of the army.

PEDLAR ARREsTED.-City Marshal Huse
yesterday arrested a pedlar who was going
from house to house selling glass ware, and
receiving payment in rags, &c. The man pro-
duced United States license for peddling
which he had obtained at Augusta. He was
told that this was of no avail to him here !;
that in order to peddle in this city or county
he must obtain license from the County
Commissioners, and must prove his good char
acter, aud must have been a resident in the
county one year. His goods were taken and
he was given until night to leave the city.
When ready to leave his goods would be re-
stored to him.

Gallant Action of Federal Cavalry with
Superior Rebel Force.

NEW YORK, Dec. ..
Suffolk letter of the Sd inst. to the Her.
aid, states that Col. Spear, with 800 cavalry,
was sent to Cassyille, where, on Tuesday
morning, he was attacked by 700 rebels. Col.
Spears men were at breakfast, but at the first
signal of danger the 300 men were in saddle,
and, led by their gallant Colonel, dashed ont
of the camp TO meet the foe.
The rebel force was not prepared for the
fierce charge of the 1lth Pennsylvania caval-
ry, and gave way like a flock of sheep, and
sought safety in fight. A more compile rout
of an assaiing force has not probably taken
place since the commencement of the war.
The enemy's force was estimated at some
eight hundred strong, and had attached to it
section of the famous Rocket Battery. In the
fearful onslaught of our forces the rebels be-
came panic stricken, and had not time to save
their effective means of defence, the Rocket
pieces, which fell into our hands almost with
out a struggle, with the horses, ammunition,
accoutrements, and everything necessary to
their service.

Reported Capture of Wagon Train by the
Rebels,

The Herald has the following:
Headquarters Army of the Potomac, Dec.
4th.-It is rumored that a train of wagons
loaded with ordnance stores, en- route via Oc-
coquan and Stafford, has been captured near
the former place. Nothing had been heard
from the train late last evening" and it is feared
the report may be true.
Many of our batteries have been protected
by earthworks, and extensive Notifications
commanding the enemy's position are ap-
preaching completion.
The Times correspondent at headquarters
says the result of Gen. Burnside's interview
with the President is that he will now be let
alone, and be allowed to follow out his own
plans in his own way, free from bureaucratic
dictation at Washington, and is confident that
he will have from the government all the as
sstance he asks for

B-Bangor and Lawrence exchanges are
making merry about the recent muddy cond-
tion of Commercial street in this city. The
tidy people of Lawrence scarcely know what
mud is, for their population have so little to
do that they keep their little city as neat and
prim as though just taken from bandbox.-
As for Bangor, that place has been frozen up
solid for less than three months

.g-Our neighbor Thurston has removed
his Reading Room into neat, light, and cosy
corner of Fox Block. The room, though not
80 large, is much pleasanter than the former
one, and, what is better, it reduces his expens-
es, which were last year $500 over his receipts
We trust he will receive this year at least a
sufficient amount to cover expenses.

which to some extent prevailed last evening,
will thus be avoided, and the reader will enter
