There is no horizontal scrollbar in xterm but you can do things to see 
more information in the terminal window.  You can enlarge the terminal 
by using the "maximize" (usually the middle button on the right hand set 
of buttons on the window title bar).  In Xfwm you can right click to 
maximize only horizontally or just drag the window margin border to 
widen the window.  With xterm you can also use the "VT Fonts" menu: do a 
control-right-click that will give you a menu to choose smaller fonts to 
see more information.
