General Scott, in the mean thee: U-as de

which has been under time honorable unit

more than a year past. Ile remonstrated with
-the-Executive,-and-declared that 'tartlet the

and skill as an officer., it would be very on
' just for him to dO so. Ile desired that all the
laurels which bad attended the 'Movements

belonged, to the officer now in command.-
-At the sane time he desired; and now de.
