rout at Leesburg. It is also more truthful than his report of the killed and wounded at Rich Mountain. And if he has done nothing to merit a sword, pray, what has he accomplished, to be made Lieutenant-General? It could be said at least of old Scott that he had enjoyed a great reputation, but McClellan is absolutely an unknown man. Nothing but a small success, achieved by the aid of tremendous odds, over a few hundred Virginians, in Western Virginia, has given him that prestige with the infas friends, when it can make no further use of them, as it is to its enemies. When McClellan says he has done nothing yet to deserve a sword, he utters a truth, which is illustrated by Lewisville and Leesburg; when he intimates that he will hereafter, we must be prepared for doubting whether a man who, on his own showing, has never yet done anything worth special honor, can accomplish more than General Scott and the combined military talent of the United States Army have been able to achieve.

Her population are true; and we have an earnest of what it is disposed to do in the announcement from Tazewell, which we published yesterday, that General Bowen, of that county, was bringing his Brigade of Militia into the field to meet the enemy in the passes of the Cumberland Mountain. That is the temper of the people in all the counties of that region, Smyth, Wythe, Washington, Russell, Lee, Scott, Wise, Buchanan, and Tazewell. They lack arms and ammunition, but they do not lack the disposition to fight the enemies of Virginia, or to meet and drive back the minions of Lincoln.

No Government can afford to let such a population as this be overrun, or to lose a district from which so many of its best soldiers are su
Poor old Scott. --An Ohio paper says that old Scott is in his dotage, behind the times, and until to have the direction of an army. Poor old man ! To be kicked out of power, and taunted by his own friends as a miserable dotard. But yesterday, he was the "great Captain of the age; " "now, none so poor as do him reverence." A righteous retribution for the hoary traitor who sold himself to the enemies of his native land for the pay and emoluments of office.

Scott's Lament. Much has been spoken and written about Gen. Scott, once the pride of the proudest nation on earth, now the scorn and contempt of all honorable men, even those who reward the treachery detest the traitor. But the following lines from the gifted pen of a distinguished lady of this city, whose name we dislike to withhold, but dare not give, is the most truthfully severe of anything that has yet met our eye, and withal the most truly poetic.--Raleigh (N. C.) State Journal. Gen. Scott, once the pride of the proudest nation on earth, now the scorn and contempt of all honorable men, even those who reward the treachery detest the traitor.

C.) State Journal. Virginia! Thou art well avenged! Remorse is killing me! Let me pour forth one long, last wall, For all I've injured thee.

It stings me with the serpent tooth, Deadly as p
