ANOTHER ANEoDoTE OF GEN. SCOTT

ANOTHER ANECDOTE OF Gen. SCOTT.
The New York correspondent Of the
Boston Journal relates the following:
"Tke term Fuss and Feathers applied
to the old chief, grew out OF nothing per-
sonal, for he was a man whose personal
tastes were very simple. But he was very
exact in his discipline, and he required
every officer while on duty to be dressed
according to his rank in the minutest
thing. Gen. Hamilton, who was OH his
staff, related to me, the other day, a very
characteristic anecdote. The Generals
headquarters in Mexico comprised two
rooms, one opening into the other. In
the rear room General Scott slept. One
night, after the General had retired, one
of the staff wanted some water. It was
In the front room. The evening was
warm and the hour late, being near mid
night The officer started to go IN his
shirt sleeves He was cautioned against
the experiment as a dangerous one, tor
if the General caught HIM IN his quarters
with his coat of, he would punish him
The officer said he would risk it ; thai the
General was asleep, and he would make
no noise. He opened the door softly, and
went on tip-toc to the water pitcher. He
had no time to drink before he heard the
tinkle of the bell, and the sentinel outside
of the door entered 'Take this man to
the guard house. was the brief order, and
the coatless officer spent the night on
hard plank under guard"

THE Cup AND THE LIP.-The old say
ing, "there is many a slip between the
cup and the lip" was supposed to take
its origin from one of Penelope's wooers
being shot as he was going to drink. But
it arose, as Ainsworth has it, thus: IA
King OF Thrace had planted vineyard,
when one of his slaves whom he had
much oppressed in that very work pro-
phesied that he (the king) should never
taste the wine produced by it. The king
disregarded his prophecy; and when, at
an entertainment, he held the cup full of
his own wine, he sent for the slave, and
asked him insultingly what he thought of
his prophesy now? The slave only an
swered There's many slip between the
up and the lip Scarcely had he spoken
when news was brought that huge boar
was laying his vineyard in waste. The
king arose in fury, attacked the boar and
was killed without ever tasting the wine. "

The ELECTION OF DEbEGATE YESTERDAY.
We subjoin the.result. AL zW
442
Leonard's majority 10I.


The result Of tho election yesterday has act
ed upon our people like genial spring-show-
er, or like this bright and bracing morning
under an October sum-" All classes Of our
community, we believe, feel and express their
appreciation Of the result which is rebuke that
has been administered to the spirit of faction,
which was endeavoring to array one class
Of our fellow citizens against another. The
citizens were told to recollect that you are
called upon tomorrow to decide question
that has never been brought before you, name
ly : Capital vs.. Labor There is no Sinking
the question, that this is the direct issue. The
dignity of labor should be upheld. and all
who are friendly to the cause should vote for
JAS. L. BELoTE" Such was the issue as
stated by the {" workingmans paper" And,
while there was no such issue involved, in
our opinion, yet this idea, held by some it was
well to rebuke. We do not think Mr. Belote
was actuated by such view of the contest,
but he was unfortunate in having been Sc
lected as the representative of such an idea,
and as popular candidate most likely to en-
sure success. itsa ~
Those who supported him are entitled to
the credit of having worked in earnest for
his election, which is what all men should do
who essay the accomplishment OF their ends.
Mr.. Leonard, the peoples candidate, however,
walked over the course with ease, by the
power of the position he occupied. He came
in, too, at the eleventh hour. If his friends
had made the same efforts, and manifested
the same interest in the result displayed by
their opponents, the majority might have been
rolled up to p rhaps nearly double the number
Of the whole vote cast yesterday. The Day
Book and Cd Dominion expressed sentiments
in favor of the election of Mr.. Leonard. The
Times was The advocate Of Mr. Belote As the
labor" candidate against the Z" capital" can
didate, and the Virsinian publishes this
morning, two notices which appeared before
the election, g in vindcaton Of ourselves from
an apparent leaning, in our paper. to either
candidate" sQ
