Ckncral Scott to Senator Wade." --i All I can say" of the above is, (what I have frequently! said of it since it has been floating about in the papers,) ' that General Scott never made such a declaration to me in my hearing, nor did I ever say, or pretend that he ever did, and 1 believe it to have been fabricated witn a view to rreiudice Southern Deo Die against the old General. And permit mo to add, that the morbid sensitiveness of the Southern mind, on this subject, renders it peculiarly liable to such impositions ; and Northern demagogues, know ing this, will not fail to take advantage of it. Very respectfully, yours, . . B. F. WADE. Wm. II. Granberv. Esq. - t . i HISTORY SET RIGHT. A few weeks ago it want the rounds of the lo- cofoco papers, also, that among the many Whigs, who did not intend, to support Gen. Scott, was Thomas H. Clay, son of Henry Clay1. Cohroel Pickell, of Baltimore, an old school-mate of Mr. Clay, after having seen the report, wrote him a letter of inquiry respecting it, to which Mr. Clay promptly and satisfactorily replies. "Will those papers who published the declaration in the first place, now give the contradiction ?

They are strong e nough for me ; Gen. Scott has adopted them, and I believe him to be a man of honor. Mr. Graham's position was never equivocal.

The Washington Union and other " locofoco" prints have recently published with a flourish of trumpets, an account of a thrilling dialogue. al leged to have occurred between Messrs. Wise and Mapp, at a public meeting in Aecomac county, Va. Mr. M. is represented to have" de clared that he heard Mr. Hale say, in a speech in New Hampshire, that "he would head an army to march on the South and put down slavery," and that Gen. F. Pierce replied that' " he would head an army to oppose liim." Mr; Hale, in a letter to the editor of the Union, says, " there is not a syllable of truth in the whole of it." He adds" Gen. P. and my self have not spoken at the same meeting since 1840, when we both spoke on the soma sule. WEBSTER, MEETING IN BOSTON. Boston, August 16. The Webster men met at their head quarters in large numbers- this evening. Matthew Hale Smith prjesided," and J. B. Wheelock and Dr. Hobbs acted as Secre taries. A series of resolutions were adopted, pledging their support to Webster and Graham, as can didates for the Presidency and Vice Presiden cy. ' .' ' Hon. Geo. T. Curtis, Samuel Kettell, H. Wins- low, A. H. Nelson, C. A. White, M, H. Smith, arid F. Willey, were appointed a committee to call a convention in Faneuil Hall, for the pur pose of nominating a Webster and Graham elec toral ticket The following resolution was adopted : Resolved, . That the friends of Daniel Webster, in convention assembled, in the home of our great statesman, send greeting to the national Whigs of North Carolina, and propose to accept their distinguished son, and offer our own to them, as a fit associate in the coming Presiden tial campaign, and to all the South we say, that as compromises are the order of the day, we offer to accept the ticket furnished by the Bal timore Convention, with this compromise, that the name of Webster be substituted for Scott, they taking what is due to the South, and we taking what is due to the North : and with Web ster and Graham we will sweep the land. If our friends in Massachusetts are in earnest in the above resolution, we ican assure them they are laboring under a most unaccountable delusion. If they expect the Whigs of North Carolina to assist in defeating the nominee of the Baltimore Convention, by uniting in a factious opposition, they will be disappointed. A Webster and Graham ticket cannot command 500 votes in this State. Ireland Neck, Aug. 7, 1852. ! Ma. Editor : I was one of those "Ireland Neck" Democrats who declared opposition to Gen.

A. H. Chappell, Esq., Macon, GuL Among the tricks of a certain class of Loco Foco papers, whose conductors are ,as ar rant cheats as any of the "Old Clo ' " dealers in Rosemary lane or Chatham street, is that of daily exhibiting a long list of names, every one of which they say, and are no doubt ready to sicear, is that of a Whig who has abjured Scott, and is going to vote for Pierce. And notwith standing they receive daily proofs of the false hood of such annunciations, they continue the practice. A paper in New Orleans, of this stamp, lately published the names of six gentle men, whom it has made to say will decline sup porting Gen. Scott. Onej of these wc happen to know personally as staunch a Whig as need be who says, in a letter to his correspondent in this city, in reference to this impudent trick of the New Orleans editor : (La.) 2d Aug. 1852. "I speak for myself when I say it is false that I have never uttered such an expression ; and another of the s.ix named gentlemen (jthe only one I have been able to see) says it is false : a ' w i, : ill i. ill uiu vu xiiiu. xiuw iu7 iici-uiupuuu in If 1 1 I L if two out of the number have been misrepre sented (to give it no harsher name) that It is very likely the whole have been.

But 1 can tell you that bcott will run bouth,and run ahead of Pierce. You know I am no politi cian, and doa t meaaie witn elections. But this ruse de guerre will stir me up to do my ut most for the good Whig cause and Scott, its no ble standard bearer. "To-day a large crowd of Whigs left iri the Music for Baton Rouge, to attend the Scott par becue and Ratification meeting. Boats passed up from New.Orleans, crowded with delegates and speakers. JLhe enthusiasm tor fecott is un bounded, and the South, is only awaiting thb re turn of her members from Washington, on the adjournment of Congress, to speak her senti ments in tones that cannot and will not be mis understood. " " 'You see what the Democrats will stoop to : publishing the names of five of the strongest and wealthiest Whigs in the State, besides mine, (a poor one,) as having bolted and left Scott. What degradation, to descend so low as to lie, know ingly I" Norfolk Herald. A cbrresnondent from the trreat slave. holding county of Halifax, Va., holds the fol lowing language with respect to the candidates for the Presidency: "" "Never was the Democratic party in such dif ficulties as at the present time. Their candi date is a perfect mass of political sores from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, steeped and baptised in fanatical abolitionism a regu lar pireacher of the Higher-Law; who hates Sou thern institutions and. loathes that law com manded by the Constitution, which, according to Pierce himself, was but the worthless shell of the Compromise, which the North was gracious ly pleased to bestow upon the South after the kernel had been picked out. And yet, even this poor shell is begrudged to the South and loathed and abhorredi-y the Democratic candi date for the Presidency. The nomination of such a man as Pierce is a gross and unpardona ble insult to the Southern people, which they will most assuredly resent. I "The Whig party, on the other hand, never oc cunied such high vantage ground as the v do now. Scott is absolutely invulnerable. The Atkinson letter, which was to prove him an Abolitionist, contains, as it turns out, "not one sentiment" or vjpinion that is not daily avowed by the larg est slave-holders in the country. Scott is em phatically the Southern candidate, and as such i will be sustained by the southern people' (j. -'"";' ': THE PROSPECT.

They admire his character, they appreciate his servi ces, and they are determined to give him a still moro decided mark of respect and affection through the ballot-boxes. The intelligence from New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, is of the most Encouraging character.! That he will re ceive the electoral ; votes of those three great estates is in the highest degree probable. The entire i electoral vote is 296; t The number ne cessary to a choice is146. ijew York has thirty-five votes, Pennsylvania vtwenty-seven, Ohio twenty-three, the aggregate being eighty-five.

Some persons express a doubt of the success of the Scott Electoral tick et in Massachusetts. We do I not indulge in any such misapprehension- but even should the Old Bay State falter for once, we could, it will be seen, do without her. Georgia, too, may also wheel into line, and give us hef, ten electo ral votes. The prospect, therefore, We repeat, is full of encouragement. The chances are ev ery way in favor pf the Whig! candidate. He is the man for the! crisis and the occasion ; he has been tried and tested in the field and at the council board, and has ever shown himself to be clear-headed, strooc-miadod. warm-hearted and patriotic. Heretofore his banner has ever been victorious. Why should it not be so again iniNovemberr DEMOCRATIC EVIDENCE. Mr. Merriwether, of Kentucky, having sub mitted a resolution in the Senate for the pur pose of ascertaining the amount of money paid by the Government to lien Is bcott and fierce for their services, in the course of the debate, Mr, Butler said, (we quote from the Republic) that perhaps he stood with respect to the can didates for the Presidency more in a position ot indinerence than any other penator. lie re gretted that this resolution had been introduced in the Senate. He was opposed to any such inquiries, He felt satisfied that the two gener als who were now honorable rivals would re sist this as the last species of warfare they wished to tQ engagegL in. He had not the sligntest doobt but that ivery cent received by General Scott was honorably earned by faithful service. ' ' Mr. Clemeas siiid he would vote against the amendment, particularly- that part relating to cost of medical attendanc, because it was im possible to estimate the value and cost of the medical attendance, received by either one. Surgeons of the army were not paid according to the medical attendance rendered : they were paid a regular annual allowance, as officers were. He cared but little about the whole matter. He thought,GonL Scott never received anv more than ho was entitled to, nor indeed half as much a.s he deserved. The Democratic Platform is repudiated by Northern Fretsoilers and Southern States Rights Democrats, and yet those two parties are equal ly vociferous For Pierce and King. A Northern contemporary well remarks, upon the action of the Southerntwihg of the party : - "A question has arisen among the Southern Riehts win? bf the Democracv whether or not the Baltimore Democratic Convention, in its platform of Tirinciplet, did'endorse the Compro mise ot tho last Uongress. uov. vuitman, ot Miss., says that it -did, and therefore declines taking an active part in the support of General Pierce, as he was opposed to the Compromise at the time of its passage, and to' those who advo- catea it, ana sun is. niie on ine outer nanu, the Hon. Win. L. Yancey, who is exceedingly anxious to get back into the Democratic party himself, and at the same time carry with him the Southern Rights party Whigs and all de clares most emphatically that the Convention did not, but only pledged the party to the faith ful execution of the laws ; and we are told that Davis,' Soule, MoWillie, Forsyth, and hundreds more, all concur with him on this point; in fact, the Southern Standard makes the sweeping declaration, that " of the whole body of South ern Rights men in Congress or out of it, we have not heard a single leading man, except Gen. Quitman, who considers the Democratic resolutions as ah endorsement of the Compro mise." ' . ' - "H&r- , Now, in view of this fii$t,vwe ask the friends of the Compromise, whether Whig or Democrat ic, if patriotism and a sense of duty do not prompt them to refuse thek-support to a party that declares that it did 'not approve the great measures of adjustment which so happily quiet ed the country and saved the Union ? Are they willing to unite with a party whose leaders con tinue to denounce these measures by the use of the most bitter invectives,-and whose boast and great reason , for supporting 3en. Pierce, is, that the Democratic Convention, did not endorse or approve the Compromise ? v " The Southern Standard, a Democratic paper, published in the city of Charleston, which "nies at its head tne names ot rierce ana aing, com-menting-upon this subject, holds the following significant language, which, we Commend to the careful consideration of every -Union Compro mise man r v i - : ! -" We know that Foote.

That body did endorse the Compromise, and upon its faithful execution staked its nationality. Its nominees are fully committed to the position averment, and their election will be a full ajid complete triumph of these measures, as well as of the great conservative principles of the coun try. SCOTT THE CIVILIAN. On. the settlement of the "North-Eastern Boundary difficulty," Lord Normanby wrote thus to Sir John Harvey : " The correspond " ence between yourself and that officer, (Major " General Scott,) is honorable alike to you and to " him. It is gratifying to observe that the feel " ings of personal esteem that were established " between General Scott and yourself, when " formerly opposed to each other in the field, "should, after the lapse of so many years, have induced and enabled you both to concur in " averting from your respective countries, the VUIUU1IV1UO VI T Oil : And Frazer's Magazine, commenting on this letter, said " that if K. had not been for . the " good sense and good feelings of Gen. Scott, it " would have been , impossible, in spite ot all " the wisdom and forbearance of the Lieutenant " Governor of New Brunswick, to prevent that ' singularly indiscreet and reckless functionary, " Gov. Fairfield from, raising at the head of V the desperate band of adventurers over Whom y ne presiaes, a name upon uie ooruer, uimcuu " to extinguish without considerable loss of " blood and treasure on our part, and, in all " probability, permanent injury to the institu " tions and growing prosperity of the United "States of America." , MRS. JONES' SOLILOQUY. "Mercy on us 1 what a double and twisted fool I was to marry a handsome man. He nev er finds a spare minute to adorn me, because he is all the time adorning himseit. i never could see the necessity of beauty in a man. For a woman might just as well cut her throat and be done with it. if she isn't pretty : but if a man ha9 a fine, well made figure, and is a gentleman in his manners, that s enough, providod hp nei thei squints, nor smokes; nor swears, and knows enough to hold an umbrella over a lady's bonnet without giving her all the drippings. (A rare masculine accomplishment.) Now, my husband, Sam Jones, has beauty enough for a dozen of men, and what's more he knows it. He spends one half of his time at the glass, and the other half in making eyos at the women. Couldn't I be the death of him 1 If we go out to walk, everybody says whai a hand sale fellow ! How came he to marry such a dowdy little wife? (Thai's pleasant !) I havn't a closet in the bouse that isn't lumbered up with his superfluous rattle-traps. Checked, striped, and plaid pants, double and single breasted vests, of every color and shape ; boots and pumps without limit ; smoking caps, dres sing gowns, revolving shirts, with dickies plaid on one side, white on the other, made for dress or -travelling, with accommodating bosoms to suit all emergencies ; Eau de Cologne, club Ma cassar oil, curling tongs, scented shaving soap, whiskey dye, and a score more of fooleries that I have neither time nor patience to mention." "I'm never sure what the man s about ! it takes me all my time to look after him, and then I get awfully humbugged ; and that puts me in mind to inquire (privately) about that 'new m . .1.' 1 . ,1 . I, club" ho has joined. Don't believe a word of it! Clubs don't meet ever y niylu in the week, Sami- vell "Next to clubs, I hate widows. They are the yety, , - J I've heard the JtjeathensjsiiiJed "be nighted ;" they've sense enough to burn up the widows when the husbands die and that's a step further in civilization than we've taken There's nothing like 'em. If they make up their minds to marry a, man, u s done. 1 Know one that was terribly afraid of thunder and light ning, and every time a storm came up, she would run into jir. omitti s nouse, i ne was a widower,) and clasp her little hands and fly a round, till the man was half distracted for fear she would get killed ; and the consequence was, she was, Afrs. John SmiiA before three thunder storms had passed over her head. Wasn't that diplomatic ? "Then there's that little blue-eyed widow Wil kins. Didn't she drop her prayer book coming out of church for my handsome husband to pick up ? And didn't I see him squeeze her hand when he handed it back to her. And when I told him a long rigamarole of a story going home to divert his mind from the little minx, didn't he answer ' yes' and ' no' at random, and laugh at the wrong place ? And didn't he the next morning put salt in his coffee, and sugar on his beef8tako ! And won't she be SamirelJones, No. 3 ? An swer me that ! I shoiild like to eut her up in inch pieces with a dull Jack-knife. " But it's no use to struggle against fate. ; I shall have to put my pride in my pocket and tell Samivel it is my request that he should marry her when I am gone, and that will ' pull wool' over people's eyes, and save his credit, for he'll have her if an earthquake should bo the oonse quence. It's astonishing widows will be so indelicate as to doff their weeds. It s nothing more or less than a walking advertisement for another husband. Mrs. Lee was spending a short time at the sea shore, in her new regimentals, When one of the ladies at the tea table, struck with a sudden thought, said very innocently, ' By the way, Mrs. Lee, where is your husband V I should have been very sorry to have told where I thought he was, for the way he used to swear when he talked, was awful to mention ! . Now what a glorious example I d be to the Bex if Providence should see fit to make me a widow 1 I wonder if Samivel will pop off! I should hate to put my curls behind my ears, but I'd do it, ana I wouldn't so much as look at any man unless it was Tdm King. Wonder if he d marry me ? Well ! there now 1 I have spoke in meeting ! It can't be helped now, as deacon Smith said, when his daughter surprised him kissing widow Moor ' It's natur, Sally : natur.'" , Fanny Fern. RALEIGH & GASTON ,R. R.

OCEAN'S PLANEOSPHERICAL QUARTZ CRUSHING and PULVERIZING! MACHINES are now in daily operation for 1 the Inspection of the public, and will be submitted to any reasona ble practical tests proposed by parties interested. These Machines, by their simplicity of construc tion, their durability, the undoubted principles up on which they operate, their effective operation and results, are justly entitled to the consideration of all parties Engaged in grinding, crushing and PULVERIZING QUARTIZ, Iron Ore, Zinc, Copper and Lead Orei, and all oth er Mineral Substances. i j ; It is the peculiar feature of the economy ef these Machines that that they are found capable of crush ing and pulverizing into the finest powder any a mount of Quartz or other earthy matter, in pro portion to the amount of weight or power applied. The earthy matter is so completetely ground and pulverized, that the gold maybe easily separated, and subjected to any process af amalgamation that may be necessary. i j ' ' The Machines work and deliver! wet or dry, as may be required, and run withlittie friction (be ing almost without machinery) requiring no lubri- TCatlng. The principle upon which they operate pre-' eludes- the possibility of their being put out of or- j der; nor do they heat any material while being pulveriiing, from those required by the DRUGGIST to those of the most extensive operations in CAL IFORNIA and AUSTRALIA. The machines are from 2 to 12fdet in diameter, with balls or spheres from 3 inches to 5 feet in di ameter, each machine weighing from 250 lbs. to 20 tons each, and are sold with the right to use them, at from $100 to $5000 each. ; They can be worked by Steam, Water, Horse or Manual power according to their size, and by chan ging the velocity and proportioning the weight on the top of the balls, any amount of power may be used, from that of a single man or horse upward. The proprietors of this invention Solicit examina tion, and will prove by practical tests the vast su periority and economy of those Machines over any other, for crushing, grinding or pulverizing herato fore offered to the public. ! i These Machines may be seen in operation at foot of South 8th street, Williamsburg, at the large Patent Block and Saw Factory of Messrs Burr, Waterman & Co , first street south of Peck Slip Ferry. evry day. from 7 to 9 A.
