Surrounded as he was by en emies greatly outnumbering his own troops, in the very heart of their country, Gen. Scott was constrained to make an example, m painful as it was terrible, of 'come of these traitorous and misguided men. The Poet says they were Irish men—nay, It 'seems to take pleasure in proclaim ing the fact that they were Irishmen, and then tries to excite a mawkish 'Sympathy for them. Wo have .never said they were Irishmen; nor have we ever before eluded to this lamentable affair.

As the editors of the Poet have done what they could to expose the shame of a few of their countrymen, will they be so good as to favor their readers with the following anecdote, lake thee know to be true, and which is es honorable to the Irismen spoken of as it Is to Gen. Scott scar MID THE LIMN PRIZONMIB. Among the Prisoners taken by the British at Queenstown with Scott, yen shout eixty nat uralised deaths, a largo portion of whom were Irishmen. The Beitish authorities claimed the right, and expensed the determination, to hang them u traitors.

A high quarrel ensued; but the mule mai that no more of the prisoners could be identified! se Irishmen, for they would not open their lips. The officers, however, had already selected twen ty-three before Scott made his appearance. These were emparatcd from their fellow-prison ers and put on board a s frigate, and disputhed to England to be hang. But they did not go notil Scott had solemnly waned the British au thorities that be would surely avenge the d th of every man they dared to lay violent It de upon, by a terrible retribution upon the first Emelih prisoners that should fall into his bands after lac - would be liberated.

He forthwith selected teenty.threa of genuine English descent, (for be declared he would not offset Ilia by Irieb) and held them as hastiest for the doomed twenty three Irishmen taken hone to be executed. lie then oomnumicated to the British authorities what ha had done, and informed them that if they dared to execute their threat on tie twaty• three Irishmen, the twenty-three Englishmen staid pay the penalty by promptly sharing the ante fee. The aneequenoe was, that &o lives of the Irishmen ware spared, and at the close of the war they were embarked from England, and shortly after srrived in New York. Singularly enough, it so happened, that on the vory day of the landing of them old comrades of Con. 800tt on the wharf, their commander and friend, then still suffering from his wounds, poised along the quay on foot.

I =:=M ALLlCOlilliff VATat RAILROAD =MA G.' A large and entlibeluatio meeting of the citiji wens of Elk county msembled at the Court boon in Ridgway, on Monday, Aug. 30, 1852, at one o'clock P. m., for the purpose of meeting and listening to the Prealdent, ex-Gov. Johnston, and the Board of Managers of said Company, who had previously given notion that they • would meet with the citizens of Elk county at tha time. The meeting was organised by appoint ing Wm. P. Wilcox President, W. Brown and Jesse Eyler, Esqe, Vice Presidents, and Jerome Powell, Secretary. Henry Souther, Esq., being called upon to state the object of the meeting, responded briefly hi a - forcible and interesting speech, telling, us Sinai important truths In repard to our duty as citizens in order to rescue our country from the back ground upon which It has thee far been kept, on mascara of the difficulties of ingress and egress, transit and travel. And, In conoltuion, introduced to the meeting ex-Gov. William F. Johnston. GOT. Johnston then took the stand, and .after a few preliminary remarks, adverted to the ink portanoo of the point of Pitteburgh—the western terminus of the read—dwelt upon the commerce and navigation of the Ohio river, and the various lines of railroad extesding through the State of Ohio, westward and north-westward, mak ng the city of Pittsburgh the_ point at which the im mense trade of thegreat West centres; and con etquently the importance to Pittsburgh and the whole West 'end South to Mae a direct outlet Parough the Allegheny Valley Road with the North-east. He touched upon the superiority of advantage in having - a connection with New York over one with Philadelphia, wiring hie auditors tad no road Can be constructed in any of the old Btates, in - view of the great amount of tonnage that Will pars over it, that will equal this in point of profit. Ho also alluded to the Immense local advantage that will aeaue to our twenty, in the event of Its being constructed The local advantages are incalculable—the ex. portation of our mineral., which, with this &Fit ity, will be derekipeff —the superior advantage of transporting lahlber upon railroads over he uncertain water communication which I. now our only resource—with all three advantages, k . wealth will roll in upon as, and our county,r ith others similarly situated, must soon beco e among the most wealthy and flourishing in e, Commonwealth: lie then proceeded to tell us why the Board of llsousgen had assembled here, which, among other things, was to ask the county to subscribe the amount of tar pn eat. upon her taxable valuation to the stock of the , Valley Road. They ask of each count; the 1 same subscription in/aecordanoe with their re ' spective ritualises.'" There was an act passed by the Legislator, at its last session prohibiting the company from receiving subscriptions fries counties to a larger amount than ten per cent. About 1t700,000 have already been subscribed to the stock of the company. Judge Buffington was then called upon, who took the stand, and making a few remarks upon this age of improvement, which among other things niid put him oat of dice, stated that al though it might prevent him from serving ate upon the Reeeh, it could not prevent him from serving us as a Railroad Director. He enter tained the iodic:me for a coneldemble length of time, dwelling eloquently upon the great ad vantages to the country this road will bring, ci tieg instances where real estate has rues burr dads and hundreds percent., within a Yew years after Railroads had been constructed through them. He cited naiserons Railroads throughout , the east and west, many of which possess advan tages far inferior to this Road, none of them de claring dividends of leas then 1-1 per cent per an num. Than showing clearly that the bonds ask ed to he tested by the county, instead of ever becoming a tax to the county, will be ati actual 11:11 , 00 of profit 10 a greater or leea extent to the , county, without ever requiring the payment of a , solitary dollar by the cowry on thane bench:wither 50 Interco* or pnneipal. After Judge Buffington had ooecliided: Me.. Jackson, of Allegheny, ancittar of the Di- rectors, was called upon and addressed the meet ing Wetly, mesa amusing and interesting speech.

CA at • distance, showing how this work is ap preciated abroad. He stated, which is emphat ically true, that no projected Railroad had ear been prosecuted with such. vigor and roam as this road has sate Its commencement.
