SCOTT dND TAYLOR.

We presented to our readers few
days ago an extract from the autobio-
graphy of Winfield Scott, that illustrious
dcfunct, who has been lying in state, in
fine hotel in New York, since the be-
ginning of the war. His reputation was
dcccntly buried soon after the first battle
of Manassas-his body still survives
though, having parted with his reputa.
ton, he is naturally engaged in trying to
take his own life, and, judging from the
specimen furnished by his autobiogra-
ply, he is endeavoring to do it with a
very dull instrument. The paragraph
copied in the Dispatch is an attack upon
old General Taylor, commonly called
"Rough and Ready" whom Scott, the
greatest man alive or dead, in his own
estimation, disposes Of, now that Taylor
i; dead, in truculent and merciless fa-
shion. We have nothing to say of the
good taste Of making a hyena-ike descent
into the tomb of an old comrade in arms.
This is thing eminently in Scott's line.
But, whilst he is endeavoring to make
General Taylor ridiculous, he treats his
readers to an exhibition of characteristic
complacency and pretension that throws
completely into the shade honest Old
Zach's defects and prejudices, and makes
them quite dignitied and respectable.
In what we have to say on this sub.
ject We are not governed by antipathies
to Scott because of his Unionism. Gene
raj Taylor was as good Union man
while he lived as Scott, and, for aught
we know, might have remained the same
after secession. It's possible even that,
10 1861, he might have planned the bat
tie of Manassas, instead Of Winfield
Scott. We are very glad he did not,
both on account Of oar ancient love of
old Zach, and strong assurance that
he would have proved much more
troublesome customer than "the great
soldier of tho age" But we admired
him IS an honest, genuine man, - well

SourH CAROLINA MovIra.-For ssve-
raj days past the streets Of our city have
becn throngcd with fugitiyes from South
Carolina, accompanied by their families,
flocks, herds, cattle, servants and stock
of all kinds. There seems to be gsno-
raj exodus from the old Palmetto State,
and the planters in the ncighboring dis
trict Of IarnMell. especially .ase z6ssine
from what they conceive to be the wrath
to come" Safety and security from tho
inroads Of the Yankees are being sought
in the interior of the State.
This movement is not predicatcd upon
slavish fear, but it is in accordance with
the orders Of Governor Magrath, who was
directed by the Legislature Of South Ca
rolina to remove oil property from Ger
tain section Of the State most liable to
interruption by the enemy. Asa matter
of prccaution, it is very commcndable ;
and the deserted country that will be
presented to General Sherman will at
once cmbarrass his movements and At
test the sclfdenying patriotism Of the
CarOlinian.
There is something painful, however,
in this daily spectacle Of fleeing families,
accustomed as we have been to all the
terrible scenes Of the war. 1t is deser-
tion Of home, arude swapping Of old and
familiar ties, venture upon the wide,

before quilted the shadow of the house.

that the gallant Missouri brigade, led by

six hundred strong, and brought out only
two hundred and sixty-onc, having lost
four hundred and nineteen men, killed,
wounded and missing. In speaking OF
the charge made by this brigade it says
"In very few minutes General COckc.

raj Cockerell's over many a weary mile,
