VITUPERATIoN IN THE ARMY.-The public regret
to observe spirit of vituperaiion growing up in the
army In Mexico, and encouraged in by portion of
the prcss-a spirit that cannot but work evil to all
concerned. Where every one did his duty, as is ad-
mitted why single out here and there to attack
Why point to some supposed error in officer or in
soldier, when that error if committed at all, was
an error of bravery, energy and determination to
conquer 1t is the first time, perhaps that the singu-
lar fact is presented of condemning a man for gal
antry in battle. We say this in reference to the
attacks upon Gen. Butler more especially, although a
similar spirit is exhibited towards Others Had Capt.
May been killed in his famous charge Palo Alto,
the brave Watson was at the charge on Monterey, we
should have had the same sort of 80 imprudence" laid
upon Gen. Taylor, or somebody else that the grum-
blers supposed lad given the ORDER is charged
to Gen. Butler. What did they go to Monterey for +!
Not to calculate life in the column with country, but
to lay down the former for the latter, if necessary.
Had the lamented Watson carried the batteries he
charged upon. and survived the action, his name
would be placed alongside of that of May, Murat,
for the gallant achievement as it is now distinguished
for the noble attempt We should then have heard
whisper of "imprudence." Imprudence why, tested
by such spirit that which blames Gen. Butler the
whole battle mprudent-the most daring piece
of mprudence on record, for, as the leter-wrers
say not man expected to survive it. If the attack
the batteries in Monterey mprudent, then was
the whole battle imprudent, for every battery or forth
icaton taken carried by similar high-souled
daring. We mourn the loss of our brave officers and
men, but their deaths are not chargeable upon any
other record than that of valo where is gloriously
emblazoned the deeds of the noble living as well as
those of the lamened dead; and, therefore, let us
have of this mutinous vituperatlon, for in
dependent of its gross improperly, 1t has no founda
ton in truth.

GEN. WooL.-A correspondent OF the Alton Ttle-

date of September 2S as follows. This shows the
folly Of the statement in Eastern papers, that Gen.
Wool had been ordered to effect junction with Gen.
TAYLOR at San Luis Potosi, on the 22d October:
On Saturday, the 26th inst, the advance portion of
tie army designed for the invasion Of Mexico by this
route took up their line of march, under the command
of Col. Harvey, of the Second Regiment of U. S.
Dragons The detachment consists of all the regular
troops stationed here Capt. Williams's company of
Kentucky Life Guards; Six companies of the Arkan-
sas mounted men; Captains Morgan's and Premises
companies of the lst and Captains Raiths and Webbs
Of the End regiment of the Illinois volunteers To-
morrow Gen. Wool and his staff viii proceed to JOIN
the advance and orders have already been issued for
the balance of the division, under the command of
Inspector General Churchill, to pish soon as
possible. 1t is anticipated that means OF transporta
ton for the stores will be sufficient to warrant the
moving of the troops remaining, Tuesday, the first
of October.

JEFFERSON BARRACKS. Nov. O. 1916

To The Editors Of the State Sentinel:
SIRs In looking over the columns of your paper,
see it stated that a soldier was shot at Jefferson
Barracks, by the officer of the day, who trying
to quell riot occasioned by two soldiers who
were committing some depredations on the poultry
circle of farmer in this vicinity. 1t is true there
was riot of a small character but as soon as ii
reached the officer of the day it was soon settled
without the loss of any blood and without any resist
on the part of the soldiers. You will therefore
please correct the statement, such reports may
prove injurious to the service, &c.

GEN. ScoTr AND THE Presidential Washington
letter in the New York Herald says
We learn from officer of the army, that General
Scott few days ago, applied to the President for the
privilege of heading the army of invasion under the
plan of operations with the land forces but that
the Executive declined his application the ground
that the services of the Chief would
be as advantageous to the Government at the war
Office as at the head of the army.
We presume that the General having made his rear
invunerable, is now prepared to face the enemy.
If General Scott made any such application, it
very indicate and imprudent move. 1t is only by
modest and unpretending discharge of his official
Duty, and that in the retired post, that he
hope to wipe out the recollection of his groundess
and most dsrespecu treatment of his superior officer.
His public appearance in this Mexican would only
revive the memory of act, which his grateful
trymen would willingly drown in the remembrance of
his distinguished servIces.-Richm0ad, Va Standard.

CAPrAIy SUrEa.-The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald says:
ave may next look for the appointment of Capt.
Suter, the patrarcha Emperor Of the Valley of the
Sacramento, as Governor of Upper California, as he
has been for long time, in all but the name. He
owns and cutivates principaity,-has all the Indians
of the neghborhood III his employ he supplies the
Russians of the north with their wheat and provi-
sons, he has some fifty white men engaged in his
large operations and employs several vessels in ex-
change of commodities. To keep himself secure from
aggression, he has his baildngs and mechanic shops
enclosed by fertilization, mounting IL pieces Of
artillery, and capable of containing a garrison OF
,030 men, which he may command at days warn
ing. Captain Suer emigrated from Mississippi to
California in 1888, poor man, comparatively. He
got large grant Of land from the Mexican govern
ment and his enterprising spirit has done the rest
He is a Pole, we believe, by BIRTH but adopted
citizen e the United States and the North American
pioneer to California in the extension of the area OF
civilization"
