I have arrived at that age when the passions are mellowed and the imagination ceases to be fiery and irregular — an age of quiet and enjoyment — and the scenes of this day will fill me with grateful memories, and I will bear its recollections with me to the final resting place, to which, in the course of nature, I am rapidly tending. With a Virginia heart, I tender all Virginians my gratitude and affecti

A Reminiscence of Gen Scott. --At the present time, when Winfield Scott is aiding and abetting in the enslavement of the people of his native State, the following speech, delivered by him on the occasion of his reception by the Legislature of Virginia, in February, 1858, is not without interest: Mr. President and Senators: I cannot give expression to the deep emotions of pleasure which I experience at this reception in my native State. Little did I expect to meet with such honors here, and from you.

In my long career — more remarkable, perhaps, for its length than its brilliancy — I have ever felt the responsibility inherited by my birth. I have always said, "What will Virginia say of me?" and when, in the course of my public life, I have always remembered, at its most important points, that I bore a portion of her honor upo

At the end of the war of 1812-16 she presented me with the sword I now possess. She has given my name to one of her counties, and after the lapse of a third of a century, when my little services might be supposed to have been forgotten, she has honored me with a vote of thanks and a gold medal.
