GENERAL bCOIT ON THE ADM.HISrilATIJH AND THE WAR. Geo. Scott was waited oo ott tbe Sib, 1 by deputations from tbe CbaujWrof Com ' merce anil the Union Defence Commit- I . s tee of A'e* York city. delivered by both bodies, expr'flw.ve admiration for the services rendered <\ . our country by the veteran General, 'oA. sympathy with him in his sickness, and < \ hopes for his speedy restoration to 1 health. The General delivered two affecting. speeches, in which lie; express *■ ed himself as being firmly confident of * the ultimate triomph of our arms. In the course of Ids remarks in response" to the Union Defence Committee, , bo . 1 said: It is my hope and expectation in a few months to return again to that country to which" I am, like yohrselves, wholly devoted — and by that country I mean the United Stales Tiie Union h ■ comujpNicrd with the good old thirteen, andiT hope again that that Union will • 1 mount up to its thirty-four. Although •' I have been compelled myself to retire i from the field and from tbe active serTice of the military profession, J have .the consolation of knowing — and it will prabiy be a comfort to you to know it, < and ou that anhject my judgment will , hare some little weight with each and"' every one or you— that 1 left iu the field men of high ability — Major -Generals ** McCirltau and Ilalleck — each of a high i order of intelligence on all the' sciences , belonging to the military profession — each of excellent judgment, zeal -Cud , discretion.

I , , % have great confidence ia the ad uin intra- j J-ioajtLshw^country. I do not speak of , party politics.

I had no j hand or part in his elevation ; but lie I , has disappointed me most agreeably; i , lie had inspired me witlf personal lova ' > nnd high official confidence. I can • speak of several members of the admin- f titration with equal confidence and affec- t tlon, but I will. forbear. , THE RECKONING WITH SOUTH CAROLINA, - ' The iron is entering the soul of South 1 Carolina, dnd men rejoice. Well tuny tbey. Not for revenge. Revenge is u passion fit for devils only. Ibl because j there is a divine instinct in the human breast th.it lores justice — '.hat finds pleasure in righteous retribution. Tjie invu- ' * eion of South Carolina cause t (peculiar satisfaction, for the reason that it is the i r "* guiltiest of the rebe* States.. It garc i birth to the master-traitor Calhoun — ( idolised him tiring, and canonized him i i when dead. It plotted disunion for j I * — — thirty years, twite mads a devperate «f- | fort to compass it by open resistaucs, nnd was the head and front of tbe pre- ! < sent yet more formidable movement. It t was South Carolina that first began to 1 \ yS arm ^ that first shot up the Federal I g courts ; that first withdrew her mem- ' * hers from Congress ; that first passed an ' t ordinance of Secession ; that first laid « hands upon the Federal property ; that i first fired upon the National Dag. and ; t opened the war. Had it not been- for I ( Sooth Carolina, id all earthly prubabili- i ty, this impious rebellion «oo!d have ' t never existed at all. As it is said of c '» Satan that he "drew" one-third of the j c h nngels eltvr him iu foul revolt, so niav 1 . it of said of this arch-apostate in the family of American States— sBe drew a r third of them nway by her own original s and develish wickedness. a !

I Of course all true men t rejoice that j retribution now reaches her. The re- ; -ret is that it has been delayed so long. ; For seven raoutlii since slie poured that Jjtorni -of-dlre tiporj the devoted little ^irrisqu, s'te has remained uatonclivil. Oiiirf-'^iyues who have followed, or a been urgeiilio follow, her teachiugs nnd Coumple— 1 irgiuia, .Maryland, MUi souri, wCtntockr — have felt tbo scourge of war, hot she lias all the while been j jubilant in her security. Y'et the pun-' i-hment^vhougii long deferred, will 'lie , I all the more terrible, now that the ful' lime for it has come. ifo general has yet been invested willi up large discre- | liunary powers as be wbo is ui tbe head i of the army just landed upon hershorec. and neithec he nor tliey are in a temper , to palter or temporize with her blackest treason.' Nothing but speedy /nnd on- ' conditional submission will save South Carolina from a loss of property nnd a ' , sacrifice of IKo before which nil the', .calamities in this war thus far will shrink ! i into insignificance. — A'. Y. World. TATH ALL'S TREASON. The Boston Trmueript says that during the summer of 18G0, Commodore , nail, tbe reported rvbtl commander at l'ort Royal, near Beaufort, S. C., visited Boston, nml while there lie 'improved the opportunity to cull npon n ! venerable friend and fellow-commander j ! of ihe navy, Capt. P., of 1). They | • lied not met foif years. The past nnd , present were rehearsed. The fountain of sacred memories were stirred, and j | they laughed .and wept together. On ' j Hiking leave of his friend, Tdtnall rci marked "1 shall see you again P , next j i summer." '"Before iiext summer old ! \ Jack will be iu Ids grave." was the ! ! touching reply Before llint s -.miner esine, nt the firat tup or the Secession ' ; dr^nn, the oath of allegiance lo traitors hud been pronounced by.the lips, if not by the heart, of Tat null.- When news of this came to the our* of his old friend the Aurth, lie exclaimed, "Would to ' i God old Jack had been in bis grave before sparing snch t filings as this." A j few duys brought a letter from his friend closing with theso words .* "1 i | little thought when I saw von, mv dear j ! P., that iny old tried friend anil I were to serve under different flags — but the j politic; a nt wonld have it so." Old ! Jack "sat down awhile amazed, scornful, j j and vexed. "A traitor to his Aug." — j "the ywijnyfyn would hare it so," — "Poor Tatnsll." Then ridng resolutely ; from hir chair, he continued : "He was a uoblu fallow — but IM hang him dearly j o< I love him. Yes, I'd send him to the yard nrm if the devil -stood there to ^ catch liinrt" A TRUE HERO. Shortly alter the buttle of Cmrnifnx i Ferry, communication Vef cut off between the U. 8 camp at Elkwater and : that nt Client Mountain summit, tbe rebels bedding possession of the road — It was necessary %h at communication t should be re-established between Gen"rol Reynolds at the former place ami : Col. Kimball at the latter. 8evcral nt- j bad been made, but messengers . bad been killed . in every cas'o. IJour j bnd alrrady set out and been "picked off. j The whole camp at Elkwntrr was in ; danger, nnd it 1 hit necessary to get word j the summit nt once, and another ! young man volunteered, but lie, tpo, was heard from after he left camp j commanding officer then stated to [ his men their danger,' nml culled npon ; some one to ogain volunteer to. perform i ' the risk- Not a man responded In nil J | the camp, until at last one was found in ' i I Capt. Loomin' Michigan Battery, j- Henry II. Xorrington, of Detroit. I j offered lo peril bis life to save the oth- ! ers. lie started out, and succeeded in ] eluding tbe enemy, crawling miles upon bis hands and knees, with hi* message rolled np aud in bis mouth ready to* swallow in a moment if he was taken, and finally reached the friendly gamp, i i »-

■ He also bad to return, and alter receiving bis despatches, set out in the - night the whole camp shaking hands with lirm never expecting to sec him again. , He . travelled all uighr, guided by the north star, and the next day crawled as l»cfure , *oil his hands and knees. He fiuaily s truck the main road, a lew, miles below Kikwater. Seeing one of the enemy's cavalry horses tied by a stake by the - ' roadside, aud the-owner jiot visible, lie crept up, cut the rope with his .knife, mid rode off in hot haste, with several shots whizzing 'around him. He arrived I ssfeiv in camp uud delivered iiis despatches, being the only survivor of the six that had attempted the perilous i task. As a reward for his bravery, lie was . promoted in the company to be chief i ' of apiece, nnd was placed upon the ] commanding. general's stuff as mounted orderly. Ilo was presented by the cap- ' ! lain of bis company with d sword, and , by his general with an elegant revolver, j ffe was greeted upon parade with nine cheers by the entire company, and bis pay more than doubled. Besides this, i favorable mention was made of Lis feat, ' j and the great services be bnd performed in the official report' forwarded, to. the Department at Washington MILITARY AFFAIA3 WITH Oea. MeCLELUffc j Hereafter all reports conrcrninj/army operations arc to bo made directly to Gen. McClellan. Heretofore there tins j been no Hills confusion iii military rir , ; eles, owing to the habit of officers re - | porting lo the. President, the Secretary of War, Gen. -Scott, or Gen. McClcli hiii, ns the case might be. This manybended arrangement did not always work well ; but this matter will be but- : tcr attended lo hereafter. Gen Me4 Clcllnu is arranging matters so lout lie can giva his pers.uiai.'atipurvisiou to thearmy of the Potomac, even while be k:cps threads of tlr: oilier army operations in Lis hand. It nny as well be understood firil a- last, that Gen. McClellan is now mas- • ter of the situation, s > far as the move- ' incuts of the . army are concerned. He i will not permit either the politicians or the newspapers to move him -an i.nc!i ! Their campaigning ended w.ih Bull Run ; hereafter tbey ore to be cominunj ded, not command. So long os our arms are not disgraced by further defeais, ; tbe impatient public must learn to labor. and to wait. Gen. Don Carlos liuell, who has keen j assigned to the command of the departI ment of Kentucky, entered the service • on the 1st of July, 1 8*1, as second lieni tenant in the third infantry. He greatly distinguished himself in -various engagements, during the Mexican war, nud ; was twice breveted— first captain uud i then major— for gallant and meritorious ; j conduct. In January, 1818, lis wa< ap J j pointed Assistant Adjutant General, t j with the- rank of captain, and has v hii tiuued in the Adjutant Generui's tie-*, j partment ov«r siuce, having been recentIv promoted to u, lieutenant colonelcy ! ; therein, to fill » vacancy created by a rc- , j cent act of Cong|ess.
