Gen Scott's health.

--The New York Sun, of Thursday, says:

‘ A gentleman who left Washington on Monday, says he had a long interview with Gen. Scott, and that he is enjoying excellent health, better than for many years past, and that he has all the energy and capabilities to meet the present emergencies. The rumors to the effect that his strength is failing are untrue in every particular.

’ Per contra, the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune writes:

‘ "I saw Gen. Scott at the War Department to-day. He had just returned from a long interview with Secretary Cameron, and seemed very feeble. As he descended the stairs he clung to the banisters as if for support.--Just then Cyrus W. Field introduced him to an English gentleman, who said, 'I am glad to find you looking so well.' 'No,' replied Gen. Scott, I am not well; I have paralysis of the back, and am very lame.'"
