J. C. Wright of Oswego, from Washington, says that General Scott remarked to a group of gentlemen, who pointed to him the report about his resignation :--“He could more easily believe that they would trample the American flag in the dust than he be suspected of resignation at this hour of trial. No, sirs! please God, I will fight for many years yet for this Union, and that, too, under the protecting folds of the star spangled banner.” --Exeter News Letter, May 6.
