ANEcpoTE OF GENERAL SooTT.-Kind enough
at heart, and thoughtful of his troops when ID
service. he permitted no undue famillarlty on
the part of his soldiers, and required proper
observance on all occasions of his rank ana
position. The regulars knew this well enough,
and were not likely 10 offend him in this regard
His peculiarities were very little known, bow
ever. 10 the volunteers. As he came out of the
building in which headquarters were at this
Nme, an orderly stepped up with, as II appeared
Afterwards letter from one of the bureaus OF
the War Department, which he had been
dlrccte,. TO deliver 10 General Scott az once-o

EQUESTRIAN PERILs.-A singular accident
happened recently to Young lady near Brigh'
ton, England. She was riding on horseback
behind the rest OF her companions, when
young man rushed from the side of the road
towards her, and commenced tearing away the
skirt OF her riding habit. A gentleman on
horseback, thinking that some insult whs
offered, rode towards the young lady to give
her his protection, when he discovered that the
habit was on fire. 1t was soon extinguished,
but not before the hands of the young man
were much burnt, The origin Of the accident
the skirt having caught the hot ashes OF an
ignited cigar fusee, carelessly thrown away; out
the probable conjecture is that the skirt caught
melting lead in the open air, one OF which was
on the route.

LOOK TO Your CoRKs.-Mr. J. j. Weir exhi-
bited some larvae at recent meeting OF the En-
tOmologcal Society, in London, found in the
corks of port wine bottles. Considerable damage
had been done, as they ate quite through the
cork and allowed the wine TO escape. He sug-
gested that the use of bran instead of sawdust
was the probable cause of their incursion into
the cellar. Mr.. w. W. Sanders related an in

Democrats Rally I

IDSl1lCAIl SNt'-
On the 10th day of next September,
Hon. Hester Clymer, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, will address his
fellow citizens at st. Mary's, Other
distinguished speakers are expected.
We hope that conservative men gener.
ally, and Democrats especially will turn
out in force. Mr.. Clymer is gentle
man Of whom that party may be proud
"a statesman, who, above the little arts
of the politician, has risen to his present
eminence by the for.e of his talents
an orator, who, never indulging in bill
lingsgate or vulgar vituperation, will at
least command the respect Of political
opponents, if he docs not convince by
his arguments.
This meeting will open the campaign
in this county. We hope to soc the
largest political gathering ever assem-
bled in the county. The magnitude of
the issue requires that we show our ap.
probation of it by monster gathering.
The high character Of our stsWdard bea-
rer deserves an enthusiastic welcome
We will give it to him.

nations of the earth no friends or dcfen.

We call upon you, therefore, by every
consideration of your own dignity and
safety, and in the name of liberty
throughout the world, to complete the
work of restoration and peace which the
President Of the United has so well be.
gun, and which the policy adopted and
the principles asserted by the present
Congress alone obstruct. The time is
close at hand when members of a new
Congress snail pcrpctuatc this policy,
and by excluding loyal States and peo.
pie from representation in its halls, shall
continue the usurpation by which the
legislative powers Of the government
are now exercised, common prudence
compels us to anticipate augmented dis.
content, tt sullen Withdrawal from the
duties and obligations of the Federal
government, internal dissension and a
general collision Of sentiments and PIE
tensions which may renew, in still
more fearful shape, the civil war from
which we have emerged. We call up
on you to intcrpose your power to pre-.
vent the occurrence of transcendant
calamity. We call apon you IN crc,V

When this shall have been done the

American Union will have again become

formed it, sovereign nation, composed
of separate States, each ike itself, NOV.

sphere, exercising powers defined and
reserved by common Constitution, and
resting upon the assent, the confidence
and co operation of all the States and
all the people subject to its authority
Thus rcorganiaed and restored to theil
constitutional relations, the States and

and common interest upon whatever
reforms the security of personal rights

GIRARD, Aug "a, 1866.
B. f. II. LYNN, Eso.-SIR I'm
ScoGeld's letter, addressed to j.. Il.
Cochran and published in this days
Dispatch, he says he received for his
salary the amount heretofore fixed by
law, declining the increase" If Mr..
ScoGeld intends to be honest 10 this
matter, let him initiate the example Of
Mr.. Hubbard, Congressman from West
Virginia, who drew the money, Isl, l,0O00
but Immediately returned it to the Uni
ted States Treasury. In Mr.. Scofeld
declining to receive the increase, when
he received his pay, does not and doubt.
less will not preclude him from hereafter
pocketing the 81 900. Would also
suggest that inssmueh as it does no!
cost for railroad fare more than twenty
five dollars to transport himself from
Warren to Washington, that he returns
to the United States Treasury about
nine hundred and forty three dollars,
the aghount he drew and pockcted for
uileage above the actual money he
paid out in making the trip. Mr.. An
coma, NJ. G. from Pennsylvania, said
that enough members purposely absent.
cd themselves aud were in the ante
room when the vote increasing the pay
of members wds taken, to have defeated
the bill. I wonder if the Judge, in
stead of " being at his lodgings" wasn't
in the ante.room? But, by all means,
let Scofeld initiate the example of
Congressman Hubbard This wAl, at
least, show honesty, and better satisfy
the people than by voting to themselves
an increase of $1,000 ant stintirg the
soldier with only the paltry sum Of one
hundred dollars bounty, which is an
outrage that should not be overlooked
by the people. And Mr.. scoGcld's
omission to vote, and help defeat the in.
crease, (for it only passed by one major
ity,) is as great an offence as if he had
recorded his vote for the measure.
A REPUBLICAN, SOLDIER.
P. S.-Lowry, Scofcld's right bower,
claims that ScoGeld has carried the
Wild Cat counties, sufficient to nomi-
nate him. IF this be the case, why is
Lowry, Scofeld & Co. cxpending so
much time and money in canvassing
Erie county? The fact is Mr.. Scofeld
dare not take a nomination unlcss he
carries Erie county, which he will not
do. Erie county is entitled to the Con-
gresham and proposes to insist for her
rights. SOLDIER.

Nonparcil Washing Ma
chine.

1t is squeezing machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and the ex
perience derived from five years extensive
use in fcmilics, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be Of lasting value to the pur.
chaser
The manner of operating the Nonpareil,
by rotary nsotiSn acting on n crank shaft
with balance wheel which moves the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious and most powerful that can be de-
vised for the purpose, and accomplshes the
work with the greatest rapidiy and the
least possible labor.
The great speed with which this machine
performs work will be understood from the
statement that it is geared to give six strokes
OF the plungers for one turn of the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred strokes a minute--Safety to the fabric
washed is ins8rea by the eutire absence of
rubbing.
4 girl or boy Of fifteen can work the ma
chine, and do weeks washing for family
of six or eight persons in two to three hours
time; and il may be relied on TO cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance
