WINFIELD SCOTT,

The telegraph has just brought US

had played distinguished part in
American history for half century
Lieut. General Winfield Scott died |
at West Point, New York, on the

longer he would have attained bis|

Winfield Scott was born in D nwid
die county, Virginia on the 18th day
of June, 1856. 1t is, perhaps, fact
worthy Of remark that his grandfather
-one of the Scottish clan, BuccIeuch,
was an adherent of the Stuarta, who
made his escape from the field Of CdI
lodeu, and took refuge in America
There are many points of resemblance
between the character aud fortunes
Of the Jacebiles Of that day and the
.Confcrerates Of this The grandfather
was an exile and a refugee ioa con-
science sake, having lnilhfully adherea
to a hopeless cause. The grandson
escaped similar fate by taking the
stronger side in the late contest IN op'
position to his native State and tht
tradition of his boyhood and youth II
is net our part to pass judgment uPoI
either or to deny that they may have
been equally conscientious--the one II

For ugliness never could wed with content
So as far as that goes, you shall have my con

Where a mothers Hope wa' buried,

To these narrow chambers hurried
BY the Great Eternars will,
