' Whefi the boats- reached the lovfer end of this flat, they were about abreast of each other, each striving to rnake the .next anding (Kingston, We should suppose i to be fom the description) 'ahead of the other.

At lhi time, le heal in the vicinity of the engine and boile-rj roohi was so great that it had! become almost iimposl sible to passjfrom one end of the vessel to the other. This fact was mentionedias an evidence of the hazardous efforts which were being made to secure a fruitless victory, at the expense of the comfort, if not the lives of. all on Ward. The remonstrances were unavailing The re ply was. that the boat was getting along very well, and that there wis liodanger'tQ pe ap prehended. vThe race (accordingly coninued the Henry Clay succeeding, finally, in Jirowdjf. ing her competitor so near the jshorei ijat she); was compelled to drop astern, in order keep from running aground. ; The jCIay ftifido thj landing,, took on board he few passengers ids waning and secured the few dollarsf rcnargeo for their fare.

He.expresses the conviction that spma fifty or sixty lives, at least, were lost.

A more appropriate opening of the campaign for Gen Scott could scarcely have been devised than that which took place a jew days ago at Luatlyls L,ane the scene of the gallant hero's early glory where lie first poured out his blood in his rjountry'i cause. We speak of il as the opening for the campaign for the Presiden cy, because it has fairly started that flood- .tide of enthusiasm which is to go on in creasing in volume and force until it has borne the chosen of the people'to the high position of official honor commensurate with the high place he already holds in the regards of his countrymen. We observe that the Washington Union is alarmed at the grand demonstration just signalized at Lundy's Lane ; and for want of other means to break the imposing ef fect cf that great gathering, it undertakes to dispute the title of Gen. Scott to be re garded as the hero of the -memorable bat tle fought on that spot. This mode of disparagement argues a degree of desper- i' at ion which foretokens the anticipated loss of a declining cause. We do not care to go into any exposition oflhe fact which the Unkfri denies since the records of his tory andj the hearts of the people can bear sufficient testimony to the achievements of Gen. Scott on that occasion. It was the inauguration of his glory ; and whatever khare of Ihe honors of that victory may be due to others and there were honors enough Required to confer fame upon eve ry one who then and there so nobly sus tained the American name-the part which Gen. Scbtt had in the conflict is too well known to admit of any controversy as to the pre-eminent distinction won by him on that bloody field. . But the grand celebration at Lundy's Land isbut the begining of a series of great gathering of -the people in im mense masses ; and if such meetings are made thV occasion of military reviews and encampments, to add to the zeal and to the perfect; discipline of our volunteer sol diery, tb!e interest of such scenes will be much enhanced. No doubt we shall hear a great deal frorti adverse journals in rep robation of the military feeling a great deal in Ihe way of denunciation against military chieftains, because of the enthu siasm which must be excited in favor of Gens Scott by these reviews, encampments and mass meetings, and because of the want pf military prieslige on the part of Gen. Pierce. Still the movements will go on thej masses will meet, and the hero who has exalted the glory of the Ameri can flag; in the hard fought battles of the Canadian' frontier, during the test jWar with England, and more recently in the rnnrsDiY etexixg. ircrsT n. i i FOB rbBi.Mi ii GEXERU WISFMXir SCOTT J or irew JBBSBT.
