The re mains ot General Scott havp not jet been rc "inoved irom the hotel. General Callum is awaiting the arrival of the coffin from New Tork, which is being constructed by Brown, of Grace church. It has been ascertained that the required length of the cotlin for the deceased General's gigantic proportions will be six feet nine inches. It will probably arrive here this evening, and the final arrangement for laying the body in state will be completed. The care taken to ptescrve the remains has been so far moFt sttccesslul. The face of the General looks to-day even more natural than within a few hours after death. The yellowish tinge of the skin has almost (iiBnppeared. All is calm and quiet in the building which contains the mortal remains of the great chief tain. No idle curiosity, no taping crowd dis turb the repose which, alter many years of active service lor bis country, I'rovtdeuce has mercifully vouchsafed to him. Like all things human, he has raised away, but, unlike most things human, be will not be forgotten. In every coteiie around the Military Academy tongues ore busy with stories ol Lis military lite, his genial companionship, his overtlowing fund ol anecdote (of which the incidents of his own career turnisbed the rarest and richest sub jects), his strict disci pi inariauiKm, mollified by a gentle dignity that adorned every action. In this way bis memory is recalled by his asso ciates and those who hope to emulate him in the noble profession of which West Point is the nursery. The younger officers speak of him with affec tionate recollection of his annual visits to the Academy. The older ones, whose associations were more closely linked with his official life, have but lew words to say, except expressions of deep eorrow at the loss of a friend equally be loved and venerated. General Callum speaks of his old time recollections, extending back lor many years of confidential intercourse; and while he relates the various incidents of the General's lite the tears overflow his eyes and almost choke his voice. He tells of (he last social pleasure in which the brave old hero par ticipatedthe game of whist he played on Fri day night last in the room where he now lies in the solemn majesty of death and how clear his intellect w as and tow keen his enjoyment, un conscious then of the dark shadow which, like the skeleton at the Egyptian feast, was pieseut, though unseen, in that pleasant crowd. The officers on guard, whose names I furnished you yei-terday, still remain in discharge of their sad duty, and will continue in attendance upon I the corpse until alter the fuueral on F'riday. The spot selected lor the temporary depository ot the remains is a point in the cemetery situated in the noithwest part of the grounds, known here as the Gerniua Flats. It is a conspicuous position, and adjoins the graves of the West Point officers who fell iu the late war. It is the intention of General Callum, however, to remove the body at a future tima to another and more prominent place, where the monument which will undoubtedly be erected can be visible not only from all parts of the national reservation, but also from different points on the Hudson river. It would be an appropriate thing to con struct a bronze monument of the guns captured in the Mexican war, w hich lie on the green pla teau In front oi the Academy. Unless the military of New York and the gar rison ot Governor's Island participate in the funeral, there will not be much display at the obsequies on Friday; for the whole military force here, including the regulars (sappers and miners, and a detachment of artillery und cavalry) and the cadets, number only about seven hundred men. Still, full military honors will be accorded to the departed chief. In compliance with the wishesot the tauiily. the religious cereinonieH will probably ba confined to the regular and im pressive burial service ot the Episcopal Church, w ith a brief discourse by Professor French, the chaplaiM who attended Geuernl Scott in his last moments, and administered the sacrament to him. The General's arrival here on Thursday, the 10th instant, being unheralded, thejusual salute was not fired; but the next morning Genernl Callum ordered the salute, and when" the old hero heard the guns he drew himself up to his lull height, looked around proudly, yet sor rowfully, and, as it impressed with the solemnity of the approaching event, said, as it were in soliloquy, the now memorable words, "The last of human glory is passing away." N. . Herald. TUB BCBUL GROUND. Until General Scolt s will has been read. I don't know but he has there expressed some preierence as 10 tne styie or nts tuueral and the location of his grave. There are four beautiful and appropriate spots here, either of which would De a capital place tor the grave of the General. But the one which strikes me as the best lies just beyond and below the Cadets' Monument. From it we can look ud and down the liver; it commands a perfect view of the beautliul country across the river, the parade ground. Fort Putnam, the Hotel, and the Aca demic Buildings are iu plain sight. The only difficulty is that at present there are rocks in the w ay, and a road would have to be made. These are obstacles easily removed; and as doubtless a monument of some natute will be erected, I think we w 111 deposit toe re mains In the ground temporarily, to be re moved when the monument is raised. Next to the statement of the Superindendent of the Post, that of the surgeon In charge of the late Lieutenant-General would naturally be looked lor with interest, and we have obtained from Dr. E. J. Marsh, Assistant Surgeon U. &. A., on duty at West Point, the following MEDICAL DUET, kept from the date of General 8cott's arrival at West point, to tne day and hour of bis death. Thursday. May 10.

It was at one time proposed to place the body in the coffin this evening, and in the dead of night remove it the chapel, where Colonel Black and the oiiicers ot the trtiaru oi honor would watch it ourine the night, but better counsel prevailed, and those gentlemen keep their sleep Ices vigil at the hotel, while the unconscious body of the deceased is trad u ally growin? harder and its color more natural.

Tit Pernvlan" Freighted with the Dla- ease 1'wenly-elgrk.t New Casea at ltitr mtine, and Thirty-five Deaths Durlujc the Paaaaice freni Liverpool Keport of the Health Oftleer and Names of the Iead Two Canes Tvaterday m Ketv Tork. The fact that the cholera lias been raging vio lently in Germany for some time past has been well known in this city, so that the arrival of two ships on successive days, lreighted with the disease, caused verv little 'surprise. Cases have recently been reported here from tne Health authorities in London, thut occurred among emigrants from Rotterdam and other conti nental cities, and the warnings that the epi demic was on its way to our coast have been unmistakable. The scattering cases that have occurred in the city were merely the vanguard of the enemy, developing his purpose and arotiMiiff the oiiicers to such precautions as they were able to make to prevent his advent. We have not doubted, irom the first, that this difease would make its appearance among as iu an epidemic form unless it could be thwarted by such measures as the Board of Health might adopt, nor do we doubt it now. The causes for apprehension have grown greatly within a day or two, and we, therefore, more in warning than in fear, this morning, place before our renders such news as we have been able to gather concerning the progress of the disease. We fully believe that, with proper care, most cases of cholera may be cured; and more with the hope of preparing our citizens for those in sidious premonitory symptoms which always precede the attack, and to caution them against disregarding its warnings, than from any tear ot a large mortality list Irom tho ravages ot the epidemic, even if it should occur, we announce the tact that it still exists in the city in scatter ing cases. It ib true that these occur every year, and dur ing the healthiest season our physicians are culled upon occasionally to attend cases that arise purely from local causes. Now, however, when they arise in diderent parts ot the city, while at the same time the disease breaks out spontaneously, as it were, upon almost every emigrant Bhip that arrives, they are to be re garded in a dillerent light, and every case is necessarily surrounded by a somewhat painful Interest. Day before yesterday John Fitzgerald, residing at No. 14 Cherry sireet, was taken vio lently ill, and yesterday morning he died. His illness lasted scarcely 24 hours, and was accom panied by an unmistakable choleraic diarrheca. The deceased lived in a very insalubrious part ot the city, upon the top floor of a rear tenement bouse, and in all probability lacked that intelli gence which might have saved his life it pro perly directed upon the appearance of the first symptoms of disease. The second cace is that of a woman named Canijan, residlntr at No. H03 Sixth avenue. The case is a mild form of cholera, or a severe one of cholera morbus, and had not fully developed itself when the report was made. It was re garded, however, as sufficiently dangerous to be made known to the Health Officers. The patient resides irrthe back-room, on the second Boor of the building, and immediately over a livery stable. In tne former case a post-obitum exami nation will probably beheldthis morning; in the latter, it la possible the life ol the patient may be saved. ARRIVAL OP TUB "PERUVIAN. The Peruvian, Captain Salmon, arrived at Quarantine, from Liverpool, yesterday after noon, after a passage of HI teen days. She had on board, at the time of sailing, 758 passengers, of whom 36 died from cholera during the pas sage.

New York Irioune, to-day. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Special Itespatche to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, May 31. European Adylees. Letters just received here from a high au thority at Paris, state that Louis Napoleon Is earnestly trying to maintain pence in Europe. He wrote a very important letter to the King of Italy, in which he declared himself in the strongest terms against bis (the Italian's) war like policy. The Ambassadors from England and Russia unitedly strive to arrange, in some way, a settlement of the present difficulties. The French Government declared itself ready to act upon the same conciliatory grounds, but took the position that it was impossible to assemble any Conference that would be a general one, in cluding representatives from all the European powers, and th German Diet. This was com municated by both the ambassadors from Russia and England to their respective Governments. If they assent, a preliminary conference would be immediately held, composed of France, Russia, and England, at which the questions likely to be submitted to a General Congress would be drafted and considered. This does not absolutely assure a peaceful solution of the threatening Eurcpean difficulties, yet it is dpemed very important, as showing the posture of the French Government, and how it is pos sible if cot even probable that at the very veree of war a collision maybe averted by the interference of the neutral powers. Destitution la a.labama.1 Governor Parsous.of Alabama, has addressed a letter to General Howard, urging the necessity ot the Bureau increasing its distributions of rations. By a recent census of that Stats 13 out of 62 counties return 62,921 destitute persons, and he averages the starving poor at 64,000. During the war Alabama lost 40,000 men, over one-half heads of families, and there are C0,(00 white widows and orphans. They could raise no crop last year on account of the presence of the armies, and the Legis lature at its recent session authorized the Is suing of State bonds for the purpose of procuring food, but they bave failed to make them negotia ble, and the Governor purposes coming North to put them on the market for provisions. The citizens who are able contribute freely, and the mortgaging of farms and crops, to raise food, is almost universal. Feeble women and decrepit old men walk miles to obtain rations, and it is quite customary to meet frantic mothers on the roadside crying, with their starving children. There are 100,000 destitate whites and blacks, and to the 20,000 to which rations were Issued dally during May, he urges that the number be increased lor June 6000. Their wheat and pota to crop, gathered in daily, will give great relief; and, it Is believed, the number of rations, alter August, can be materially reduced. The Five Cent rein. Four separate specimens of the new five cent coin have been struck off, and were to-day sub mitted to the fcecretary of the Treasury as sam ples, from which he will select one for issue. Upon three of them is the head of Washington. Adjournment on ot Respect to Ueneral Scott.
