above only, proves the correctness of
the statements heretofore put forth, that General
Scott- is now in the hands of - the Abolitionists,
Free Soiiere and Antimasons. Here in Pennsyl
vania it is a notorious fact that all the old Anti
masons, tram Thaddeas Stevens down to James
W- Biddle, have taken the lead in bringing out
Gen- Scott as a candidate for the Presidency. The
whole thing has a bad odor- Only think of the |
idea of such a man as James W. Biddle being the j

The Libee Case. —The case ol the Common
wealth vs. J. G. Backofen, for libel, which has
been under consideration for eome days part in the
Quarter Sessions, has created considerable excite*
ment amognst onr German citizens. The prose*
cntor and defendant are both German editors, and
the alleged libel was one of those newspaper
squibs which amount to but little, unless magni
fied by the imaginations of evil disposed persons-
The case was argued with much ingenuity on
both sides. Mr. Backofen was defended by Mr.
Shaler and Mr. Umbstaetter. The latter, gentle.
. man had the principal charge of the defence, and
he certainly displayed gieat ability in behalf of
his client. Although Mr. U. had but recently re.
covered from a severe illness, it is but proper to
say that ho more than met the expectationa of his
humorous German friends. . They were perfectly
delighted with his defense of Mr, Backofen

character. The Democratic party will never be
chained down to one idea, nor follow the loaderihlp

The Detroit Tribune of the ISih mat., contains (
tho following confirmation of the report ofMr. Bre. ,
dy’s death :
Gen. Hugh Brady, the soteran soldier of the North
West, is do more I He died this morning about ten >
o’clock, in the 83d year of fata age, and as the newa
thrilled tho public artery, a universal gloom was de
picted on heart and coantonance, as of a good man
isilen. .At the Ume of hie doatb, Gen. Brady was
l Colonel or the 2d Regiment of Infantry, Brigadier
and Major General by brevet, in command of his
military Department or Division. Hugh Brtdy was
a native of Pennsylvania; hin commission the oldest
! in the service—beariog date in 1792, vthen-he en
tered the army a> a Lieutenant under Mad Anthony
I Wayne, with tvhoae command he made tho celebra*
1 ted Indian campaign, which restored Kentucky to
1 the whites, after tbe defeat of SL Clair. He was
1 distinguished for bis gallantry in the late war with
Great Britain, and in 1812 was promoted to the Col-
I oneley of the 22d regiment of Infantry. When tho
I army waa reduced in 1819, he was mado Colonel of
I the 2d Infantry, of which regiment Gen. Bonnet Ri«
I ley was, until recently, Lt. Colonel. Gen. Brady
was at tho battle of Lundy's Lane, where he wasse
| verely wounded in tbe groin. On his award nod
I belt, worn on that occasion, can bo coanted more
I than a dozon marks of shot received in that action.
I Gen. Brady baa been a citizen of Detroit for the last
I 26 years, and by bis urbanity, polUeaeaa and iiopre
I tending gentlemanly won his way to the
I hearts and good feelings of all Onr people.
| His death resnlted from an accident which were
-1 luted tho other day,bnt from which we bad been led
■ to hope the old soldier would recover. Tree, how
ever, to the nobleness of his heart, he was at all
’ times prepared for the march, as in his delirium he
■ audibly eaclsimed, —"Lit the drumsbeal-rpty knap*
. sock fa slung.'” How beautiful the sentiment—how
worthy tbe christiaa soldier.
Tbo Pestrnctlon of the Temples and
Pyramids of Old figypt,
[Egypt Correspondence of the London AthewcMn.].
Bnt if these things have been unnoticed or raisons
derstood, another, more nearly affecting a traveller,
cannot have been so, namely, the still rapid progress
of the destruction of the monuments. Although l
do not share in the superstitions enthusiasm of some,
I coaid not bnt be moved by seeing what havoc U
in progress everywhere, from the Pyramids to the
Cataracts. It would be impossible to point out
every place where the work of Vandalism is going
on; but I will just mention one or two instances, in ]
order to hint to the curious that they most come in
time to these regions, or tboy will find little more than
traditions of air the minor curiosities, and the great
ones much ill-treated. The Northern Pyramid of
Dashonr n now in progress of being converted into
i a stone quarry, in order to build some how palace
i or villa to the neighborhood;, the tombs of Sakkara
aro used for the same purpose; the mounds of Aby*
dus are ransacked for building materials; the Tem
ple of Rrment is golog for the same purpose; and
two temples have, within the last six years, been
knocked down, and materials removed from near
Bhe!kh Fad!, entirely without the knowledge of trav*
ellers, to whom, indeed, thoy have remained utterly
unknown until now that tboy no longer exist. I >
wont to Sklimim to look at the great block of atone
copied by Wilkinson, and supposed to be restored
to Letronne. I found that the first line was
entirely gone. They are breaking up the block
to make lime. Enough, however,remains to
show that some; at least, of M. Letronne’a soggea*
tions are hot correct. He introduces words where
tbore never have been any, as on the slightest ex
amination is evident. It is worth remarking, also,
that the inscription had previously been copied by
Pocoke, who cautiously makes several very sensible
and- reasonable restorations, without acknowledge
meat by the French meant.

Seduction In Hlgb lilfe In Hew Torts
The Day Book contain, the particulars of an in. I
famous case of seduction among the Near York up. |
per ton, and states that it withhold the names of tho
patties at present Tor tho reason that there is a pros
pect of a settlement of the affair by marriage. The
Dag Book says:—
The victim is a beautiful young girl, one of lour
sisters left to the charge of a. widowed mother, tho
former wife of one of out mosr respectable mer
chants. Their residence is in a fashionable street,
and though not rich they are classed with and move
in the society of our most fashionable,people. Ihe
seducer is a young man about town, attached to on
or our most aristocratic families, and only placed
above the family whose peace he has oestroycd by
tho possession of more wealth.
He was Introduced to the daughters about 18
months ago at a large party given up town, and be.
ing particularly struck with the beauty, elegance,!
and accomplishments of the young girl, . was soon a
constant visitor at the house or her mother. His
plana were well laid. He did not by look or action
lead any one or the family to suppose that he saw
any difference in their position, but by the mos_res-
Dectfal attentions eono won the good will of the
mother, who looked opon the expected alliance as a
desirable one for the daughter, and noon had so en
twined himself around the heart of tho daughter,
that when he proposed matriago ho waa gladly ae.
copied, and the poor girl looked forward to a life of
happiness with him to whom Bhe had given the fits!
love of her young heart. ' .. .
The trusting girl dreamed no wrong? he was all the
world to her, and in her eyes the soul of manliness
and honor. Then when the seducer found thatebe
lived only for him, that he could control her every
thought and action, he insidiously went to work to
undermine the happiness he had taught her to believe
waa here. Hnder the promise of ma rriage in a few
weeks, and by the vilest sophistry known to hieclass,
she fell a victim lb bis wiles, hot in the belief that
she had sacrificed'herself to one that loved and who
would never allow the breath of ahame to reach
her i ehe only looked upon her Knit aa the great*
I eat proof of her love for him oho felt she could have
died for. ,
But the promised time rolled around, andronder
tome flimsy pretence the marriage was delayed;
again the tirao came.ionnd and ahe was again put oa.
Hia visile became less frequent, and the probabla
troth soon burst upon her that aho hid sacrificed
herself 10 a villain. Concealment, too, was no lon
ger possible j her mother discovered all, and finding
threats and entreaties sain to make him do justice
to her child, sho had revonree to the strong arm or
the law. He waa arrested and brought to the home
that he had made desolate. , -
Aa noon as the poor girl saw him her love Turgot
its wronga and rushing into bis aims the ca led
him by hi* name and wept uponihjs breait, unpior*
ed him to forgive her, lhat she had not urged
the coarse that had been pursued, but that it was
the act of her mother to save the honor of her dear
Ch Tbe destroyer was unmoved; he stood like a
statue of marble till she had finished her appeal to
him, and then .roughly removing her arms, withdrew
from her presence.
We have not space to«day to say more on this
.abject. He was held to bail in $6,000 to answer
the charge.
