Advertisers will be good, enough to bear thu in mind. : . •THE SCOTT mOVKMBNT, The Journal. of yesterday was silent as a grave stone in regard to the call lor a meeting of the friends of Gen.:SooTT, in Allegheny county.. Mr. SitffliE appears to have treated the “ eight hun dred respectahio and influential Whigs*’ who sign - ed the call with silent contempt t The lrAsetfe pnhlisbes the call os an advertise* mast, without appending a single name to it!'— The Deacon, however, condescends to notice the movement in his editorial column, but in so doing he is unbind enough to damn the “hero of Chip pewa” with faint praise. Fearful that his notice of the Scott movement might dissatisfy the Ad ministration. at Washington, and thereby lose him the Government patronage, the Deacon is conning enough to eulogise tho man who feeds him with official crumbs: Hear the sycophantic Gazette-. n There is nothing in this feeling, of disrespect or of dissatisfaction, with the present distinguish ed occnpant of the Presidential chair. Mr. Fill more is probably as highly appreciated for his many-sterling qualities, and eminent fitness for the high seat he occupies, by the people of Penn sylvania, as by the citizens of any State in the Union. - They give his administration a hearty end consistent support, and if he should be a can didate, of which at present there seems to be much uncertainty, and should receive the nomi nation, he will have from the Whigs of this State an earnest and efficient support/’ Mark the cunning of this extract! If we found a scrap of paper containing the above paragraph in Timbnctoo, we would identify it at once as the production of Deacon Whits 1 The American may now he regarded a 3 the ex clusive organ of Gen. Scott m Allegheny county. The simple fact that Brenin is the chief operator in this new Presidential movement, will forever prevent Mr. Riddle, of the Commercial Journal, from showing it the slightest favor. The course the Deacon may take hereafter depends altogether upon pecuniary considerations. He will stick to Fiuxoßa so long as Fillmohs sticks to him I In the New York Herald of the 6th we find a letter from Washington City, dated on the 4th of April, Which contains some canons speculations in regard to the Presidency. After alluding to the probable resignation of Mr. Wsdsteh, the writer goes on to say— “ The President is proceeding cautiously with regard'to the next Presidential election. He has not, like Gen. Cass, announced that he will he a candidate; nor has be said that he will not. He is opposed to the agitstion of the question among the Whigs, as to who shall be the standard-bearer, because,'in the present state of public affairs, sec tional considerations would largely enter into the canvass, and he is planted on a great national ba sis, and pledged to sustain the measures of com promise. His object is to noite the Whigs first, - and then leave to a convention the selection of u candidate," and that candidate may, by possibility, . be himself.. “Mr. Webster, it ts understood, does not, to say the least, encourage Mr. Fitlmore to aspire; in fact, he does all that be can, with propriety, to check the desire for a nomination; and this is to ba attributed to the fact that Mr. Webster is him self looking to the occupation of the Executive mansion. “ The waters of the administration, generally, look smooth.upon the surface; but some thiok that we should not altogether trust to appearances. That there is discontent with regard to certain prominent office-holders, there is. no doubt. Mr. Webster was Opposed, it is said, to the appoint ment of Mr. Greely as Collector of the Port of Boston, and the collector’s conduct since has not rounded the sharp edges of the Secretary’s dislike. The recent visit of the Postmaster General to Boston, and the close ties of private friendship be tween the President and Mr. Hall, lead to the be lief that the latter went thither more particularly to look after Mr. Greely. • • “It is. well known that Pennsylvania Whigs have been here, demanding the removal of anti- Fillmore Whigs; and from the State of N. York many complaints have come up. .Mr. Seward thought that if his friends were not touched, they would Dot .be uproarious against the admmistra' tionj but xa this he was not a true exponent 01 their feelings.” Jenny Lind in Pittsburgh! It will be seen by the following telegraphic despatch, which we received yesterday, fronvP. T.

The Democratic Banner, published* at Fair mont, Marion county, Va., of the sth instant, Contains the following arttcle, to which we direct the special attention of the citizens of Pittsburgh* MONONGAHELA RIVER. We have been tryiog for some weeks to get in» formation from Pittsburgh and Morgautown relax tive to the progress of stock taking in this impor tant work. We hope that the zeal of our Monoa gabela friends .has not abated. And we look to Pittsburgh for the aid.she has promised. We aro anxious to know what amount of Stock necessary to make up the twenty thousand dollars remains tolls taken.. :If Monongalia has done any thing like her duty, and if the amount expected from Pittsburgh can be realized, the county of Marion > will make up the balance in ten days. Every day’s reflection serves.but to confirm us more and more in our opinion as: to the benefits to land and ■• •v property holders on this river, to be derived from its improvement. The work cannot be made un .... ... less its friends at borne make the proper efforts, and with this we could undertake to insure the - • requisite means to complete if. .03* Wc observe the names of Reverend A. W. Buck. and. Reverend GeObge Mabshall to the call for a meeting of the Scoto- Whigs. As these gentlemen are engaged in a higher and holier vo cation than: partisan politics, we presume their names wese placed upon .the call without their knowledge or consent. We cannot for a moment believe that there is a single, clergyman in this county who would so far forget himself as to dab* We in the qaurky waters of politics. The Washington Republic, tho organ of Mr. Fill more,'we observe, publishes an extractfrom tho. Ravenna tO.)

We. would beg leave tocall the .attention ot. tho Editor *of tho Republic to the following©xtraqlsfrom a let-, ter written at Akron, April Ist, to the Cleveland Truo Democrat: u THo Free Soilors, so far as I have heard them ‘say anything obout it, are well pleased.” * * * « He is reliable on the question of freedom, and that to mo is far above all other considerations.”— • • • tt i have boon led to make the inquiry, why is it that Whig editors should claim him as a Whig f Certainly; they-cannot moan to be under* stood that he supports tho presont National Execu tive and his measures, for. that would be giving the lie to Wade's own assertion?-* , • The Arrest of Fletcher-Webster. . Conflicting statements having appeared in various journals at the North, m relation to an Act of .Fletcher Webster, Esq., during: tho night of the arrest of tho fogitivo Sims at Boston, the Wash iDgton Republic lays before the public the following explicit account of that matter, derived from a high* ly respectable gentleman residing in the city where the disturbance has taken place: , Boston, April 4,1861. * To the Editor of the Republic :- Sir: The last evening an arrest of a fugitive slave was made by the U. S. Marshal in this city. The laws will bo sustained.. At about tho uino tho arrest was made, Fletcher Webster, Esq*, surveyor of this port, was m com pany with George- Ashmen, M. C., the Marshal,' postmaster, and one or two other gontlomeu, at the Trcmonl House. Apprehensions of rcscuo being entertained, tho Marshal started for the Court Hoqbo. At the same moment the bells ruog ao alarm for fire, when the Marshal remarked that the alarm was given for a rescue, when all the gentlemen above named loft for the name place. Passing by the church in Tremont street, Mr. Webster, supposing the impression might be true that the belts were ringing to collect e mob for the purpose of rescue, went in and requested the boll* man not to ring toe noli, whoa he was attacked by two persons, who raised tho police, by whom Mr. Webster was burned off to tho jail, there kept lo cioeo confinement until ibis morning, his friends in the mean time offering m vain any security for bis appearance to answer tho charge, whatever it might be, which should be made this morning at the open* ing of . tho coart. A more gross and brutal outrage than that inflict ed upon Mr. Webster was never made in a civilized community, and merits, as it umversaliy receives, the condemnation almost of our entire city. All who know Mr. W. will bear willing testimony to hia high, manly, and excellent qualities, and that ho is one of the very last persons to engage m a brawl, or to insult any person. That be has boon most grossly abused for so fault of his is strictly true, and that it will call down on the heads of his assailants tho extreme penalties of the law, is the wish of every good citizen.

By the way, the Captain is treating his readers to some very lively sketches of Li/o in California, which wo have read with noordU nary interest. The following paragraph from the New York Herald of the 6th, will bo interesting to Mr. Wes* ster’s friends in this quarter. Arrival or the Hon. Daniel Webster at the Abtor House—Probable retirement from ornct. —Tho Hon. Daniel Webster arrived at tho Astor House yestorday afternoon, and immediately after retired to his room, and refused to eeo persons who called on him. Wc regret to learn that the Hon. gentleman is laboring under indisposition, caused by overwork fit his advanced ago ; and tbst it is probable that he will shortly retiro into private life, in consequence of the breaking down of bn health. He will not take part in anything public or political during his stay here, hot may, perhaps, on his return to Washington. He will leave tomorrow for Massachusetts. Sick or well, Mr. Webster Would bo likely to withdraw from the cabinet in the event of his being acandidate for the Presidency. Woo Killed Tecumbeh I—At a recent meeting of the Now York Historical Bocicly, as wo learn from the Now York Commercial Advertiser, Major Richardson, formerly an officer in tho British ar my, read a paper on tbe “ incidents of the war of 1812, embracing particulars connected with the dcalb of Tecumscb.” The Commercial Advertiser says: <( Major R. having been an of moat of ihe matters described, and a persona! friend of the great warrior, his narrative was of moro than ordi nary interest, and commanded almost breathless at tention throughout. Ho related many instances of generosity and chivalrous gallantry on the part of the Indian chief which would have done no discredit to the knights of feudal times. In relation to the .manner of hts death, Major R. is of opinion that ho fell by tho hand of Col. Jobnsoo. Such, he says, was tba universal understanding on the mgbt of the battle, when a)! the circumstances were fresh in tbe minds of the witnesses, and he sees no reason to dispato the fact at this late day. Tbe question, ‘ Who killed Tecumsoh t* may therefore bo consid ered settled.” Major Richardson is known to tho readiog pub* he as the author'of “ Wacousta,” ** Ecartc,” and other novels. Abaesx fob Foboebv.— Yesterday morqing Mr. Sanford C. Gardner, formerly a clerk in tbe employ of Messrs. Caller & Stickncy, and more recently ad mitted a member of that firm, which conncilon has been dissolved, was arrested by officer Starkweather, and examined beforo tho police court, upon tbe charge of forging (wo notes of hand in the name of Cutler & Sticknoy—one for. $875 50, and the other for 9467 04. The forgory ofbolh notes is alleged in the complaint to have been committed on the 3d uit., but the date of the first is October 16th, 1850, and that of the second December 22d, 1850—both on six months, and without interest. Boston Adverts* ter , 4th. P. T, BARNtJM There is a solemn mystery which hangs like an impenetrable clond around the dread entrance to eternity. Wc travel with .our friends, neighbors, and|feliow' ; men, up to this mysterious spot, and there the immortal spirit,-dislodged from lla frail tenement of clay* is ushered in a moment through this iron gateway—but we cannot follow them. Our most intense vision cannot penetrate one inch beyond this adamantine wall, which conceals tho spirit land and its wonderful mysteries from our view. But our time will come to pass Ibis iron gateway. Wo shall eater it alone. Each man for himself, in his own dread experience, must pass the solemn boundary. He knows not—ho cannot know, the hour until it arrives. And yet how unconcerned, hpw negligent, how careless of a preparation for this.dread hour are the multitudes which crowd and Batter for a day on life’s brief stage. Says a writer: Our imaginations are intercepted in their flight to eternity by a dark and cloudy en velopment. Ero wo can realize that distant ofeouls, we must ecale this awful barricade which separates the visible from the ivisiblc ; wo must make our escape from all the close, warm and be* setting urgencies which, in this land of human bo* dies, are ever plying us with constant and powerful solicitation, and force our spirits across the bounda* rica of sense. We know not if there be another tribe of beings in the universe who have such a task to perform. Angela have no death to undergo. There is no Buch affair of unnatural violence between them and their final deettoy. It is for man, and for aught that appears, it is for man alone, to fetch from the other side of a material panorama that hems and en closes him the great and abiding realities with which he bas everlastiogly to do. It is for him, so locked in ao imprisoned clay, and with no other loop«holes of communication between himself and all that is around him, than the oyo and tho ear—H is for him to light up in his bosom a lively and realizing senso of things, which eye hath never seen cod- ear hath nover heard. It is for mao, alone, to travel in thought over tbo ruins of a mighty desolation, and beyond the wreck of that present world, by which he is encompassed, to conceive that future world in which ho in to expatiate forever.

By some, tbe ru« ta bags, when about half grown, is mostesteemed ; chiefly, however, I suspect, on account of keeping sound through (ho winter, which certainly is a val uable consideration with tbe lovers of turnips. On tho 19th of April, I sowed the rata baga“yoliow Aberdeen,” “ yellow etono,” and “ yellow Malta,” with tho view of ascertaining what size the iargor of these varieties would attain, whon having a long season to grow in; but I was disappointed. In the early part of August, they began to show sigos of de cay, and towards the latter part of the month they were mostly rotten. Those left were of large sixe, though not larger than I have bad from latter sow* ing, bat very hard; and lam convinced it is better to defer sowing until a later period. For my own part, 1 consider the chief value oftarnips in being a secondary crop, maturing m a short season, after the ground has been occapied by a more profitable growth. For fodder, it is the least valuable of all the agricultural roots, and but liulo prized as a cull* nary vegetable. Sowing in drills I prefer to broad cast, thinning the plants from eight to fourteen inch es, according to the variety growoi keeping tho rows free from weeds by timely hoeing, leavingtbe larger portion oftberoot exposed. . Beets.— Tho “loogsmoqtb blood beet” I selected from the twelve varieties I this year cultivated, as beat Tor table use; but always sow a fowofthe “ear ly turnip-rooted,”;;pmk variety, with the view of having as large an assortment of early vegetables as possible. These, as well as early carrots and early turnips, I have grown between the rows of Lima beans, and before the vines shade the ground, tho beets, turnips, and carrots ore suitable for the table. hence a saving of ground, which, especially in a* small onclosnro, is desirable. For calUo, the mangold-wurlzel and white sugar beet are most profitable, which, with those mention ed, and a few ” Swiss chard,” foribo aakoaf varie ty and their handsome appearance, are all that I in tend unotheryear to cultivate. Ground for boots, as well os carrots, should be deeply spaded and thoroughly .pulverized* The maogola-wartzo! and sugar beet.-should bo: thinned to the distance of twelve inches; other varieties from six to eight. PABSBD?s.—*This vegetable, though esteemed by many, I make hot little übb of; consequently, I cu!« tivale only a small bed, chiefly for variety, and ap ply, similar treatment ns that of -othertaprooted veg* e tables. Cabbots.— For table use I prefer the “ early horn;” tho other fbur varieties are valuable for fodder, but at present I am not prepared to estimate thoir res* pective; merits. For bordering a kitchen garden, carrots are very desirable, appearing early m spring and continuing late in autumn, their bright and hand somely-formed leaves making a neat edging, which, in connection witbthoir valuable roots, possesea the advantage of boipg both ornamental and usofuJ.— Am.
