Severe, but just.

--In Speaking of Gen. Scott, the New Orleans Delta, of the 15th, says:

‘ "Old Scott has gone abroad, a huge Pandora's box of ailments, with not even hope at the bottom of them. Bull Run, asthma, and gout have done his business for him. He goes to France, there to meet the reproaches of her to whom his conduct has been, through a manhood of forty years, such as qualified and prepared him for his crowning treason to his native State Let him go; death will relieve him of his physical torture, but that agony of the soul and conscience which death cannot extinguish will be an ample penalty for his stupendous crimes.
