The Thirteenth of June.

A patriotic and intelligent correspondent calls attention to the remarkable fact that the day recently set apart for fasting, humiliation and prayer, was the natal day of Gen. Scott, he having been born on the 13th June, 1785. He asks if it was so ordered by design that the national observances alluded to should take place on that day, or was it accidental? It was entirely accidental, and therefore what he terms ‘"Providential."’ In that case, he suggests that it is ‘"ominous for Gen. Scott and his party."’ The fact, if he has been reminded of it, no doubt, startled the commander of Lincoln's myrmidons, and caused the pay for which he has sold his mother Virginia, to burn his hands, as did the thirty pieces those of Judas Iscariot.
