Scott, ia opposed by most of the Loco Foeo journals of the Country, on the ground that when Mr. Polk recommended the creation of such an officer, " the recommendation was received with ridicule and denunciation on the part of the Whig opposition." These gentlemen surely overlook the fact, that he proposition to create the office, now, is no re- commeudation from the present President nor does it proceed from what icas the Whig opposi tion; it is a measure brought forward by a Demo cratic Senator, (Mr. Clemens, of Alabama,) and passed by the votes of Democratic Senators, as a deserved tribute of gratitute for and admiration of the distinguished and brilliant exploits which have made Gen'. Scott emphatically the great Captain of the age," The difference between the proprie- j ty of creating the office, at the' time of President Polk's recommendation and at the present time, is obvious to every right thinking man. .Then, it was an unworthy attempt to place a worthless par ty favorite, from the civic ranks, over the heads of the distinguished Generals, who were prosecuting an active ' and bloody campaign in the enemy's country exposed to constant peril and surroun ded by every hardship. It was an un worthy effort to break the hold which two Whig Generals were rapidly acquiring on the affections of their coun trymenT a result which' it was feared might, prove disastrous to the continuance of the then dynasty fh power. Now, this measure is introduced, pro posing, to create the office in question, to be con ferred, hereafterj in ease of distinguished military service, only, and with the understanding that it is to be conferred immediately on that gallant warrior who has shed a halo of imperishable glory around the' Arms and Flag of his Country. Fbr ourself, we approve most heartily of the measure. It is a high, but none the less merited tribuie to tbe most consummate military skill and the most undaunted bravery and a fitting return for the most valuable services in the field and in the council. MR. DEMPSTER. Number &fcf On Thursday evening we had the . pleasure hearing Mr. Dempster in one of his favourite ballad Entertainments at the elegant and spacious Sa loon of the Yarbrough House, crowded with the music -loving,, and music making citizens of our sylvan City. And from the pleasure sparkling eyes of all, from the pantaletted Misses to the silver-headed Grandsires, we must infer that all en joyed the music, and considered it good. The style of Mr. Dempster is peculiar and well adapted to the tastes of those lovers of the divine art, whose tastes have not been destroyed by the soulless screaming of the followers of Verdi. His vocalization is perhaps' not remarkable for evenness of tone, but there is adaptation of the sense to the tose, and stirring richness in the ower registers of his voice. There is something more in him than the "Vox el prateria nhiL,' The Piano Forte with which he accompanied himself, placed him at disadvantage, several of the j He was howeyer, '"secured by the mob, who G had speediiy silenced the opposition of the few ofr The prisoner is of a dark copper complexion, aknnl IoaI Q innkne rsf VAtkar ctllt hllllll.

His playful pieces and his inimitable jolly leer in re counting the love-knots of one Duncan Gray are a complete u barring o' the door," to all criticism. Upon the whole it was an evening delightfully spent and whether we consider Mr. Dempster as a vocalist, a clever gentleman, or a most accom plished and successful composer, we are free to admit that he deserves justly, all of the high reputation which is universally awarded him. We wish him good houses, good lock, and are sorry to add, good-bye. Jlgp" How extremes meet !

The " National Era" says: " Even the Extremists of tbe South art tfet always willinsr that their zeal should be attributed to any special devotion to shivery. The " Old orth State" contains tlie report of a speech delivered by the Hon. W. R Shepard, in the Senate of .North Carolina, last December. After discussing the subject of slavery, and the right and duties of the South, Mr. Shepard says " It may be supposed, Mr. Chairman, from the in terest I have taken in this discussion, that I am one of tbe class who believe slaverv a blessing, I enter tain no such sentiment : t fact, for yearn past, I have avoided as extensively a Kould have been both con venient and profitable to me, from my aversion to, this j species of labor." r Tfiefe are thousands of planters who, if as frnak as Mr. Sbepard, would avow tbe same aversion to slave labor.

The officers did not attempt to follow, and with shouts of tnumpa the mob hurried on with the fugitive, and were last seen in the vicinity of Belknap street, where negroes congregate. ; While the mob was in the court room, the sword of the marshal!, hanging in the sheath oyer his desk, was drawn by one of them and flourish ed over the heads of the officers. It was after wards found in the street. The mob showed no weapons, though a number Of the negroes boasted of having revolvers in their possession. One ne gro, in his flight, dropped his knife. There were several white persons in the mob, but they did not appear to act in the rescue. The rescue of course, caused great excitement ail over the city, as one of the most daring outrages upon law and order ever enacted. It is thought im possible to re arrest the. fugitive, as his frieijds have no doubt hurried him off, ere this, to the Canadian frontier. U. S.

We have been promised a review by one of the ablest members of the Bar, of this interesting trial which we will take pleasure in laying before our rea ders. In connection with this subject, we would say, that too much credit cannot be bestowed on the gentleman who reported this trial, for the enterprising spirit h has shown. It has often been a matter of surprise to us that it has not been oftener done. There have been trials of intense interest and of great importance, both on the criminal and civil side of our dockets, which, had they been reported, with care, would have been read with avidity by the public, and by which much of the forensic eloquence of our State been pre sorted.

LITERARY NOTICES. The Commandment with Promise; with Illustra tions by Mowland. New York, Carter. -Raleigh Turner. Every one who has been a Sunday School Scholar must remember a little book called " The Last day of the Week," with what delight he followed the Author in his prying visits from house to house and what a deep regard he had for the man who could bring about such happy changes in untidy families We hail with pleasure this volume by the same Author and feel thankful that he thinks it not unworthy his time and talents to write for children. u There is little temptation says Montgomery " except the pure impulse to do srood, to compose works of auy kind for the a- musemeht of those who neither flatter the vanity nor reward the labors of their benefactors." Though a child when he has received pleasure from a pretty story book, never returns thanks to the. Author who has laboured anxiously to adapt himself to his tender intellect ; the truths taught and the impressions received in childhood sink deep into the heart and are rarely effaced, and the unambitious Author will have for his reward the consciousness ot navin aone good, (v man s in tellect and character is as much influenced by the books he reads in childhood and youth as by the cempany he keeps, and the parent should as care fully select his child's reading as he docs liis com panions. We do not hesitate to recommend w the Com- , mandment with Promise not merely for children; but the parent also, may learn much from it. The one will close the book resolving in his heart uto love, obey and succour" those whom God has placed over him and commanded him to honor ; and the other will rise from its perusal determined to train up his child in the way he should go, firmly yet tenderly enforcing the Commandment with prom ise.

PRESIDENT FILLMORE'S PROCLAMATION .V RELATION TO THE BOSTON RIOTERS. The following proclamation was issued on Tues day by President Fillmore, ou account of the re cent resistance of the fugitive slave law at Boston, and the violent rescue of an alleged fugitive from the custody of the Marshal by an organized mob, in which he calls the assistance of all good citizens, and commands the full and prompt execution of the law against the offenders, and their aiders and abettors. The course of the President will meet with general approbation, for it a mob may be collected and allowed to oppose the authority of the General Government, there is no safety for society. A FBOCLAMATIOS By the President of the United States. Whereas information has been received that sundry lawless persons, principally persons of col or, combined and confederated together, lor the purpose of opposing by -force the execution of the laws of the United States, did at Boston, Massa chusetts, on the fifteenth of this month, make a violent assault on the. marshal or deputy marshals of the United States,;tor the district ot Massachu setts, in the court-house, and did overcome the said officers, and did, by force, rescue from their custody a person arrested as a fugitive slave, and then and there a prisoner lawfully holden by the said marshal or deputy marshals of the United States, and other scandalous outrages did commit in violation of Jaw: Now, therefore, to the end that the authority of the laws may be maintained, and those concerned in violating thorn brought to immediate and con dign punishment, I have issued this my proclama- . . ...

And I do, especially,- direct that prosecutions be commenced against-all persons who shall have made themselves aiders or abettors in or to this flugition8 offence. And I do further command that the District Attorney of the United States, and all other persons concerned in the adminis tration or execution of the laws of the U. States, cause the foregoing offenders, and all such as aided, abetted, or assisted them, or shall be found to have harbored or concealed such fugitive, con trary to law, to be immediately arrested and pro ceeded with according to law.

Mr. Clay's resolution, calling on the President for Information as to the outrage at Boston, was adopted in the Senate after considerable discus sion. The decks at the time were covered with ice. Fortunately this was accomplished without accident. On the 7th and 8th she ay to with hope of an abatement of the storm and a change of wind. The Captain and all hands were exceed- ing'y. anxious to reach gome port on the A- ... . ..' mm merican coast, un tbe urn tne wind nauied to the northwest and became quite moderate; sail was immediately made and her course shaped tor Halifax, 890 miles distant, and New York 1,400 miles.

At 8 o'c'ock, A. M. of the llth, a large ship passed bound to the east ward, but she either did not see the Atlantic, or, if so, took no notice of the signal of dis- At 10 P.

She had strong gales and high seas, and the ship made an average dis tance of 150 miles per day, and in that in terval run 1.400 miles. At 3 o'clock, P. M on the 22d January, to the great delight of a1!, she anchored safely in the harbor of Cork, Ireland, which fact alone, when con sidering (he immense size of the ship, her small spars, light canvas and heavy machin ery, is sufficient to prove her a splendid sea boat, and must add in no small degree to the reputation of her commander forprudeht and superior seamanship. .

Commissioner, G. T. Curtis, on a complaint mat the accused was the property of John DeBree, Purser in the U S. Navy , of Virginia. He was taken with no op position, and carried immediately ' to the U.S. Court room. The Traveller gives the annexed particulars : The news of the arrest snread rapidly, and the Court room was speedily filled by a large crowd ot rather excited spectators. I lie examination, however, went off quietly. S. J. Thomas ap peared for the c'aimant, and Messrs. Small, Grey and Coring, and others, tor the defence. The counsel tor tne delendant desrred a post ponement, upon the ground that time would be wanted to get together evidence, and prepare for a defence. The commissioner said he was dispo sed to grant this. In the meantime, lor the in formation of defendant's counsel, the documents upon which the Warrant was issued were read by S. J. Thomas, Esq., counsel for claimant. They consisted of various depositious taken before the U. S. Judge at Norfolk, to the effect that Shad rack was the true and lawful slave of John De Bree, and that he escaped on the Srd of May, 1850. Other documents were pnt in to show how DeBree came possessed of the' at eged fugitive; one deposition was to the effect that the deponent had seen Shadrack in Norfo k as the slave of De- Bree.and atterwards in Boston, where Shadrack told him that he had escaped from DeBree, oth er depositions were to the effect that they had seen Shadrack in Norfolk as the slate of DeBree. At the. conclusion of the reading of the docu ments, the commissioner postponed the further consideration olthe case to Tuesday next, at 10, A. M. The deputy Marshall then ordered the room to be cleared, which was gradua ly done. The pri soner remained in the custody of 12 men, as by a law of the State, the jail cannot be used to impri son fugitive slaves. ' His counsel wishing to consult with him, tbey were readily admitted to the room to the number of half a dozen. They remained about an hour, and in the meantime a large crowd of negroes gathered upon the outside, blocking up the en trance to the court-room, and, as the door was o peaed to let the first lawyer leave the room, the mob' from without suddenly rushed in, seized ,BBd knocked down the officers in keeping, and filled the coon rooms The prisoner himself was fright ened at their demoniac appearance, and fled, with a cry of murder, to the farther end of the room.- ' THE STEAMER ATLANTIC.

The Royal Mail Steamer Africa arrived here last everting, bringing tbe gladsome in teliigence of the steamer Atlantic, so long missing, and her passengers, abcrut whom there was so much anxiety. It will be recollected that the steamer At lantic left Liverpool on the 2;h December She was then in fine steaming condition and without any apprehension on ihe part of her officers in regard to the voyage. It was blowing a strong gale from the W. S.W at the time of her departure, so much so as to render it impossible to land the pilot. . On the 29 h Dec, at 9i P. ftfr, she passed Capo Clear and fairly commenced the voyage for America by plunging at once into a heavy head sea and encountering stormy, strong western gales, which continued without in termission from that time up to the day of the accident, which occurred on tne btb Jan uary, at noon, when in latitude 46 12 and longitude 41 West. It blcrwed a strong gale irom JN. N. W. At 6, P. M., the engine was stopped, as it was first supposed, by the engineer, 6n account of the breaking of an eccentric rod to the starboard engine. On examination1 it was determined to go ahead again, working that engine by band, but another turn of tne Wheels proved that the accident was of a se nous nature. The main shaft was found to be broken completely, though in a diagonal direction, tearing the starboard liuer block. An additional revolution after the first stop page caused one part .of the shaft to lap Over me oiner, wus iractunng Dotn nuer diocks and rendering the engine perfectly useless The8teamer.wai at once hove lo under strong canvass, the wheels lashed, and all hands em ployed daring the night and the following day in sending up her square yards and strip ping her wheels of the floats.'a task at once difficult and dangerous: in a gale of wind Frorn the Baltimore American. LOCUST YEAR. The seventeen year Locusts will appear this year in all those parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Delaware, embraced in the following boundaries : Commencing at the Delaware river, ' near Germantown, Pennsylvania ; thence south westerly to the Blue Ridge of the Allegany Moun tains along the east side of tlie ridge to London' and Fauquier Uounties, Virginia ; tnence easi- wardly through a portion of x ainax, across tne Potomac above Georgetown, through Montgome ry and upper portion of Anne Arundel Counties, Maryland, to the Patapsco, along tbe north side of the Patapsco, to tlie Chesapeake Bay ; thence to Havre de Grace, through to Cecil County and Delaware, to the Delaware river, up the west side of that rtver to the beginning. The4e boundaries are nearly correct, as they apppeared in 1834, though they may -now vary. The locusts will ceitainly appear on the south side of the Patapsco, at least in small numbers, as during the breeding Season in 1834, great numbers were blown over the river by a high Wind thul prevailed in the height of that season. - In Fauquier county, Virginia, also, this district laps 'over another district for several miles, and though the locusts will appear this year on the strip of territory thus i doubly occupied, yet they appeared on the same place in 1843, and will ap pear there again in 1860, thus appearing alternate ly in eight and nine years. Over the whole ef the large tract Of country embraced in the abov e boun daries, the locusts will appear in myriads. They will begin to leave the ground about the' 20th of 9. . ... 3? i . .1 . May, a few days earner or later, accoramg to me weather. From the 1st to the 10th of April their chambers may be uncovered by simply shaving. off an inch or two of the surface soil with a spade in any place where trees or shrubbery stood m 1834 They will resemble small auger holes, two or four. inches apart; and the grub or larva? may now be found by digging a foot or two deep in the same situations. -Those who have valuable shrubbery will do well to protect it by covering it with cheap fauze form the 1st to the 20th of June.- They o no other harm then that of causing the death of small twigs, by their perforations jfor depositing their eggs.
