General Scott Suspended It will be noticed from our congressional ex

tract% that the victorious General who has swept everything before him in the valley of Mexico from Vera Cruz to the city of the Montezuma*, is recalled from hi* duties at the henil of the army by the cabinet at Washington, and that too. upon the complaint of subordinate officer*! 1 hi* will astonish the whole country, and will likely break up all subordination in the army. Gen. Scott, a whig, i* relieved from the command of the army, which, through him, ha* *hed imperishable honor upon the country—the charge* against Gen. Worth, an Adminiatration man, have been dismissed, and a civilian, (Sen. Uutlrr, i* invc*ted with the supreme command in central Mexico! Whit next may we expect from Mr. Polk and Mr. Secretary Marcy?

Gen. Scott has led a small forcc from victory

lo victory in the heart of an enemy'scountry his

generalship at Cerro Gordo will find no parallel in the history of any country, and upon every bat

tle-field, all ol his arrangements have been marked by a scientific and military mind, which has no

superior in this country, and but few equal in Europe, yet in the midst of his success—after he has

conquered the country, and driven his opponents to the distant hills and fastnessea oflhe republic, he is supplanted at the instance of subordinate political general*, and from Mexico he i» colled to

Washington, by men who have no knowledge of afTairs in the army, to answer somo pretext which

the cabinet, through others, will conjure up with

a view of disgracing or dishonoring him in the eye* of his countrymen! or perhaps tliey may

try him by his inferiors, on the theatre of bin ex

ploits, for endeavoring to preserve a proper subor

dination in his army! The administration cannot injuro Gen. Scott, but they may destroy tlio usefulness ol the army

recall will bo looked upon by tho country n» a fa-1

pension to tho persecution of a worthy and evor victorious General, for party purposes—to bring

down a prominent whig or elevate a political pandcrer lo subserve tho dynasty at Washington, in

its present tottering condition. Wo think we soe as much baseness in this last

act of the cabinet as any which has preceded it, and hereafter, the peoplo of the Union will scarce

ly bo astonished at any thing which may come fro™ that quarter. But Iel0i.n CHIP return—he

will confound all of hi* persecutors—the parasites about the throne will be overwhelmed with shame

when they soe tho people receiving him with open arms, end tho President, himself, will heartily re

gret that he lout a willing oar to the cold calcula

tions and tho miserable and malicious suggestions of his Secretary at War, for to him, we suppose,

the victorious General is indebted for this unholy picce of petty spite.

Old Hull capitulated, and old Roger* and old Chauucey cruised in vain for the enemy while young Scott, Brown, &c., beat him on every field, and young Hull, and young Perry, «Stc., •wept him from the water*.— Phil. Paper.

You tell us what "ymmg Scott" did in the war with Great Britain. Now tell u* what old Scott ha* done in the war with Mexico. Please tell u* a little too about llio doing* of old Taylor.— Ijouisville Journal. ••Old" Scott and Taylor did in Mexico what ire do not believe they would have done if they ha I been twenty-five year* younaer. 'Old* Taylor permitted the Mexicans to march out of Monterey with arms and ammunition, and had to mret the same men nl Buena Vista jand 'Old' Scott granted an armistice at the city of Mexico, which gave the Mexican army lime to recover themselves, and to defend the city much more energetically than they could have done, i( the armistice had not leen granted.

Well, now tell us what particular lustre eneir-

Gxpoars TO ExatAsn.—We learn from the New York Courier and Enquirer, that shipments to England of Flour and Corn are somewhat more active—but still not in quantities to exercise any material influence upon the exchanges. The whole quantity of Flour shipped from the diffwrat porta of the United States, between 1st September last and the clow of the first week of the present month, fall short of 86,000 barrels, and of Indian Carn about 476,000 bushels. The sterling value of the products may be about £273,000 sterling—to which adding for C.'-orn Meal and Wheat exported during the nine time about£90,000, we shall have the sum of £363,000 as the total product ol more titan five months shipments of breadstuff*.

Doo?.—Again

we hear of the prevalence

of Mad Dogs, in different parti of this county and

in some parts of Terre-Haute. Wo understand that two or three have been killed in this place,

having every appearance of being affected with

this alarming disease, and if so, too much caution cannot be observed on Ike part of the town author-

ities as well as by each citizen. A widow lady in this place, has a Mad Stone which is said to have cured many cases of incipi

ent hydrophobia. Within two or three months

past no less than three persons have been here to apply this intone for the cure of this distressing

complaint, and to-day, a patient of this kind is

using it upon wrist for ft bite upon the thumb or forefinger—it is a Mr. Hicklin, living in western Vigo, who, it is said, was undoubtedly bitten by a mad dog, which was afteiwards killed when

unrnistakeable signs of the malady were upon him. It is stated that this stone, when applied to a

person affected by the poison which leads to hydrophobia, will eleave to the part as strongly as a well fixed cup, put on by the most expert nurse,

and when it is filled with the deadly virus from

the system, it drops off, and is cleansed and pre-

pared for use again by being immersed in milk and present year will come before the

warm water. Jhis process is repeated until the ci. of the Town, and

stone will not stick to the patient "he is then pronounced ont of danger, Lsing the stone for a

serpent's bite, which it also cures, i* said to injure it* quality for curing madncBs, hence the owner

of this important pebble will suffer it to be used

only for the bite of a mad dog. We believe no one can tiace the history of a genuine Mad Stone, where they come from, or of

what particular thing it is composed but it is said to look like something between a hard honey

comb and a pumicc stone. We remember when mad dogs could only be found in warm weather,

about the dog days in August, now time seems to produce most of that pestilent stock.

We give no opinion upon the virtue of this peculiar stone, because we know nothing, but we

know many persons who will testify to its efficacy, as well as many other* who wont listen to any

lheir bite, hut o„ the other hand, if we have no

well dog*.

Army Correspondence. We have a letter from a nephew in (Jul. Gorman's regiment, dated at Puebla, Mexico, Dec. lOlh, 1847, and brought to VeraCruz by Captain I-'uirchild, and mailed December 29th, from which we give the following:

A gentleman of Ky., who has bade and put up

several time-pieces of this sort, writes to us, that he has one on hond now, which is an "eight day clock, movements of brass and steel, screwed to a

frame of firm wood, on which it is to stand, to show the time by four different sets of hands, to

iitrike with a hammer of 15 lbs weight, to be driv

en by three weights, and warranted for twelve

months." He says "I would deliver it and set it running in your Court-House, for $600—half on delivery

and the balance in twelve months. It is the largest clock I have made, and is the only one driv

en by three weights.'' "If a clock of lower price would suit better, I

can make one, and as good as can be had at the price, but I consider this the better bargain.'

Nothing new from Queretaro. There seems to be a growing sentiment in Mexico against sending peace commissioners to Washington. The Mexicans consider that it would be degradation of their national pride, and the leader* prefer arbitration.

The debate continued until the hour of adjournment. HOUSE, Jan. 27.—TheStanding Committees were called in order, by the Speaker, for reports.

Mr. Rockwell, from the Committee on Claims, reported a joint resolution providing for an index of all claims since the fourteenth Congress.

A long debate occurred thereon, and several members addressed the committee in succession.

The remainder of the day was occupied with unimportant business. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.

A difficulty occurred in the Supreme Court between Reverdv Johnson and Robert Brent, his opposing counsel. Mr. Bri-nt supposed

that Mr. Johnson charged him with a want of courtesr. The latter pronounced the supposition false, when some sharp words passed between them.

Judge Legrande interfered, but Mr. Johnson said it was a personal matter and he would defend himself. The difficulty remains unadjusted.

Mr. Johnson left immediately for Annapolis. and it is supposed that a challenge has passed between himself and Mr. Brent.
