errible blows that are being inflicted upon our national prosperity a public debt is rolling up, which some of our insane contemporaries boast will speedily reach fifteen hundred millions of dollars. Not a single one of Mr. Lincoln's pledges to the country in the month of April has been fulfilled, and, though a Federal army of three hundred thousand men has been enrolled into the service of the United States, they are literally at a dead lock, and the announcement is now gravely made that Gen. Scott does not contemplate any further advance, but will try to tire out the force of the Confederate States.

Scott, though we have no recollection of having seen it in print: Mr. Clay, it should be premised, had no special antipathy to GenGen. Scott, though the upstart pride and excessive vanity and self conceit of the "young hero," and the fuss he made over the wound he received in the battle of Lundy's Lane, filled him with unutterable disgust. During the session of Congress following time after he was seated, Mr. Clay entered the room, fresh from the dining saloon and highly exhilarated. Walking up to Scott's chair, he familiarly slapped him on the wounded shoulder, which made the General writhe with pain as he exclaimed, "Mr. Clay, I will thank you to keep your hands off — you've hurt my wound, sir." "Ah, Scott," (was Clay's reply, which he uttered with a peculiarly sarcastic expression,) "I always thought there was something rotten about you." Recent events have turned
