subscription paper published in Pittsburgh. To busi
nessmen jtaifords an excellent mediomfor Advertising?

•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.”

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.
All Vert Nice.—Thetc is scarcely a section in
tho whole State through which there is not some
fellow traveliog with u paooramic view of- California
and tho Gold Mines. The elephant looks very men
when painted on a piece of caavass, and, no doubt,
the youngsters will exclaim—” oh, how beautiful 1”
but let them go and see tho real animal, and if they
don’t pronouoce him the ugliest crcatare they ever
saw, then we ore no judge— that’s ait.
GST The above 19 from the Butler Herald, edited
by Capt. Jacob Zeioler, who speaks by authority,
having spent a year in California, and of course had
an opportunity to f< 6oe.the elephant” in ail his
beauty and sublimity. 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*

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.

Tcbbips.—From the numerous varieties of this
species of vegetable, I select the” early while” and :
“ red top,” as best for the lablo. 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.—

. Hlnßtsatmoi April 5.
My Otar Posl: —The Senate has been all day
doing nothing.
The. House has passed the Appropriation,bill
through a second reading; giving $250,000 Jot
avoiding the inclined planes on the Allegheny
Portage Railroad. This bill was carried to its
present by the excellent virtues of
the ptsvipns question; 'and the genate willproba*
bly be relied' upon' to finish the form, and carry
out the detail, of this important measure.
Montour, the Wethenll Diyorce case, the Bank
bills, the Pittsburgh and Erie Railroad, and sey*
eral other important matters,, are" slumbering for.
the. present. -

about gflOO to the'ConimtmiveaUb. Enough.said,
FRANKLIN
- The Poetry of Pope*.
[Lord Carlisle, the Lord Morpeth OfAmenemacquain
tance, tn a recent lecture on the Poetry of Pope- before
one of his old constituencies, presents one view ofFope’s
poetry, ■which is probably the highest evidence of his
getuus.-. Herein*. . Thera is art in the setting; of these
gemmed lines;. the household familiarity of which was .
cited by the lecturer as a “ general testimony to the* re
putation,! f not to the merit, of Pope
“When.there has been :a pleasant party. of people,
either ia a convivial or intellectual view—l wish we ;
might think it of our meeting this evening—
we say it has beeu
“ The feast of reason, and the flow of aonl ”
How often are we warned—l bave sometimes even
heard the warning addressed to Mcchantos* Insututev—
that
“ A little learning h a dangerous thmg ’
How often reminded,
u An honest man r s the noblest work of God ”
(cheers,)
Or, with nearly ike same meaning—
“ Who taught the youthful science to be goad 5
There is a couplet which f ought to carry m my own re
collection— »
“What can ennoble its, or slaves, or cowards ?
Alas* no;all the blood of ail the Howards!”
(laaghter.f
It is an apt illustration of-the offices of hospitality.
“ Welcome the chining, speed the going guest. 1 ’
How familiar is the instruction,
“ To look through Nature up to Nature’s God.”
As rules with reference to composition,
“The last and greatest art—the art to blot,
To snatch a grace beyond the reach o! art; ’
And then as to the best mode of conveying the instruc
tion,
“Men must be taught as if you taught them not.”
There is the celebrated definition of wit.
True wit is nature to advantage dressed,
What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed.’-
Do yon want to illustrate the importance of early edu
cation? You observe,
“Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.”
Do you wish to characterize ambition somewhat favor
ably? Yon call it,
“ The glorious (halt of angels and of gods.”
On describing a great conqueror,
11 A mighty hunter, and hia prey was man.”
Do you seek the safest rule for architecture and gard
ening?
“ Consult the genius of the place in all.”
Are you temp ed to say anything rather severe to your
wife or daughter, when she insists on a party of pleas
ure, or an expensive dress ! You tell her,
“That every woman is at heart a rake.” (A laugh.)
And then, If you wish to exenvo your own submission,
you plead,
“ If to her share some lemale errors fall,
Look on her face and you-11 forget them all.”
(Cheers and laughter.)
How often are we inclined to echo the truth,
“ That fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
And this too,
‘•Tim goalie dullness often loves a joke.”
Who has not felt this to be truo ?
“ Hopo springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never is, but always to be blest.” •'
When-an orator, or a Parliamentary candidate—in
which last capacity l have often appeared before some of
you, (muob cheering)—wishes to roll at absolute govern
ments, he talks of
“The monstrous faith of many made tor one.”
Then thore are two maxims, one in politics and one in
religion, which have both been extremely found fault
with, bat the very amount of censure provos what alone
I am now attempting to establish, not the truth or joslice
of Pope’s words, but their great vogue ondcurreocy—
“ For forms of government let fools coutest;
What’er is best administered is best;
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
He can’t be wrong wnoso life is ia the right”
Cofpsb Smeltiuo iff CtsvsLAffo.—Hussey
& Co., from Pittsburgh have purchased a site oo
the canal above the Paper Mill, for a Copper
Smelting Works. It consists of five acres of the
bottom land belongtug to Hawley *g farm, and lies
both sides of the canal. In their purchase, they
obligate theraßelmto put up the works forthwith.
This commences a new era in the history of
Cleveland. There are two other companies from
the same place, contemplating erecting works near
the same place.— Cleveland Plaindealtr,
Has a Stats a hioixt to secede)—ls a question
which is just now very ably discussed in some of the
Southern papers.* The Virginia Resolutions 0f1798
haro been supposed to favor soch doctrines, but wo
aro told that “it will appear from Mr. Madison’s pa*
pers, now in the possession of the Government, but
as yet unpublished, that Mr. Madison buneotfdid not
so consider them.” Among the papers referred to,
it is s&id, are sover&lfvcry able essays in strong op*
position to the nullification and secession principles
that have prevailed fin South Carolina,—and which
have beon advocated to a considerable extent in oth
or States.

self.ana wife were up with it night nnd-dnyyfor weeks
together, and t at had given up alt hope of ever raising
our hulc one. At length, a friend advised us to try ydur*
SliakerSarsaparillo. Reluctantly I tried it, and t have
reason to bless God for it,for, la avtry shortttme,tf heal
ed vjitne sores, so that there is scarcely even a scar to
be seen. We only regret that we did not hear of and
commence using it sooner, as we are satisfied it would
have saved a great deal of suffering aud expense. The
child is now woll aud hearty. We do unncsilaungly
consider your Shaker Sarsaparilla one of the best pre
parations now in use. JOHN STANSBURY,
Rose, between Front and Second sts.
• This u the only Sarsaparilla that acts m the Liver, Ktd
neys and Bloodat the same time, which renders tt altogeih*
ermore valuable to every one,particularly Females.
Dr. Mussey, Professor sn the Qhto Medical College, says
the Skakerpreparatxons are truly valuable, andrccammends
them to the public. *
