GEN. 'INFIELD SCOTT.
Fottune associates the names of some
men with objects which are enuring.—
Scott's military bistory opens with his
night victory on the heights of Niagara.
where the thunder of his cannon mingled
with the everlasting roar of the cataract.
His latest and inotit glorious achievements
were performed at the other extremity of
the continent, within sight of the blue cone
of Popocatapeil. His early victories on
the northern frontier won for him; it the
ago of twenty-eight, the rank of Major
General ; and they remind us of the youth
of Washington. without the gloom or glory
of Braddock's defeat. But in his march
to the capital of Mexico. there is a splen
dor of military achievement and romantic
adventure, which darken the hitherto un
dimmed lustre of Cortei on the same vic
torious path.
Winfield Scott is descended from a
Scotch ancestry. His grandfather—
whose brother was slain upon the field of
Celloden—being involved in the rebellion
of 1745, emigrated to Virginia.. bringing
with him little but an English education.
A respectable marriage, and eminence at
the bar, however, soon restored -hits for
tunes. He died at an early age. but the
germ he planted flourished in that gener
ous soil. His son %Valiant married Ann
Mason, °gifted and noble woman ;. _and
their youngest child is the subject of this
sketch. The death of his father, during
the infancy of Winfield. devolved the ed
ucation of the family on Mrs. Scott. win"
discharged her trust with christian fidelity.
She died in 1803, leaving Scott in his sev
enteenth year. After various and success
ful stitches miller the best toasters, and at
Ilse College of William and Mary, ho was
admitted to the bar in 1806 and began the
prat:live of the law. He resided with Ben
jamin Watkins Leigh, and enjoyed at the
time. and long alierwan)s, the eminent ad
vantages of that great man's counsel, I.
reetion and friendship. It is singular that
our two greatest Generals were brought
into the army by the same event—the at
tack on the Chesapeake—and ut the same
time.
In May, NOS, Scott received his com
mission of Captain of Light Artillery, and
in ISO, was transferred to the camp at
New Orleans. A free expression of o.
pinion on the conduct of his late General,
cost him a suspension from the army fur
a year, which he spent in the house of his
friend Mr. Leigh, engaged in the stud• of
international law, and the science of war.
Ile came forth from this transient eclipse
—which had been regarded with no dis
honor—rutty prepared for the approa.:h•
ing conflict.
. The second War of independence was .
declared agnintingland, lone 18. 1/41/.
'Floe following month Scott received a
Lieutenant Colonel's corium issien. and
! was ordered to Niagara. where the main
force of the coining tempest would extend
itself. The disastrous surrender of Gen
, oral hull had covered the army with
i shame, and the nation with gloom. The
!appearance of Scott on the frontier at this
dark period, was like the appearance of
Godfrey at the head of the disheartened
Crusaders. The !tattle of Queenstown
heights, although a defeat, gave to A uteri.
ea the prestige of a victory.
lln 1813, an exelianne of prisoners res.'
tored Scott to his country. Ile again line.
'limed to the frontier. and May 27. captor
!ed Fort George. The brilhant victory of
Chippewa, wrested I y superior skill and
i science on a fair field, from the hest traps
Id England, excited the admiration of the
veteran Generals of the old world.—
' Scarcely twenty days after, wns gained
i the decisive victory Of Niagara, which pa
, ralized the strength of the British army.
IThe victorious General was borne front
the scene of his glory to the care of sur
geons. After several weeks he could belt.

the office of Secretary of War, which he
modestly declined. Ile was then sent to
Europe, for the iestoration of his health,
and to perfeei himself in the science of
war. lit Paris he found letters of intro
duction from Koseiusko to Carom, and
the principal marshals of the French Em•
1 pire. The battle of Waterloo had been
I fought, and Napoleon was on his way to
this Island prison. But he had taught Eu
-1 rope the art of war. Gladly did his sa-
Icred heroes grasp the hand of their young
j brother from the West. Ile saw the
Ichieftatts of Europe; he visited their great
battle-fields, surveyed their fortitications,
studied their system, and conic home to
teach it to the American army. Seott has
been our scientific teacher. Ile has done
for us what Hannibal did for Carthage,
what Napoleon did forFraiiee. From the
closet he has sent forth hooks, which are
standard authority in Europe, and in the
the field he has educated our Generals.—
In 1882, he took the direction of the Black
Hawk war, and soon brought it to a close.
His unshaken fi rmness, his hu mane tong
nanitnity, and his personal sacrifices during
the appalling ravages of the cholera in his
eampo'wero above • all praise. He visited
the sick, buried 00 dead, and sustained
the flagging spirit of his brave men.. • •

A FACT IN DEEP PLOUGHING
Having been for a long, time an atten
tive reader of the Newspaper, especially
the farmers' department, and having seen
; many articles, on cultivation of corn, I
I have concluded to give you my experience
; fir the last two years. Previous to that
1 nail followed the old plan of shallow
ploughing and high hitting. Now for the
other way. In the spring of 1849, I took
! five acres of ground Iliad had wheat on it
the year before, and had for a number of
years been rather hard run by sowing in
wheat one year and planted to corn the
next, until the surface soil Was worn so
low that twelve bushels of wheat and forty
lor fifty of core were an average crop.—
On the five acres, I put eighty-seven roads
of barn-yard manure, the greater part of it
straw, only partially rotted, and ploughed
ions follows :—Taking two teams and two
I ploughs, I began by a furrow seven inches
deep, with the first plough, then followed
in the same furrow with tho plough, turn- -
ing another furrow six inches deep, mak
ing thirteen inches Of soil turned ; I then
harrowed and marked it making the
rows four feet apart both ways, and plant
'ed on the 22d of May. As fatten as the
corn was large enough to follow the rows,
I cultivated it both' ways, and had a man
to follow with a hoe to set up the hills
that were partially covered 'up. went
through it twice afterwards with a cultiva,
tor, but made no hills, leaving the stirface
as level as possible. I cut it up the 17th
of September, and from the live acres, husk
ed seven hundred and six' bushels of earl.
Now I don't call this a brag crop, for I
am well aware that.it can be beat--but it
shows the difierence between half doing
and doing it well. The corn was hauled'
off antl'thelround' so,ed to wheat,• being
ploughed as deep as a pair oihorses eould
plough it—and from thesame ground, 1'
have this year harvested and threshed one
hundred and ninety bushels, thirty-eight
bushels to the acre. ' I have managed my.
corn ground in the same manner this seas
on, and from the , present appearanee shall
have as good *crop eel had'hist.
