HIeHe of Vern Cruz.

While we are ready TO render honor and gratitude to
Gen Scott swithou stint for his scientific generalship
wise forecast humanity, and for all these commanding
qualities of mind, by the exercise OF which the brilliant
victory Vera Cruz characterized and attained,
cannot withhold admiration at the perfect regularity
and the efficiency and vigor OF all the arrangements of
the administration in placing at SCOTS disposal all the
vast machinery, by which he was enabled to serve his
country glorously The ensting, clothing, and arming
of ten thousand men, the manning and equippng of the
large fleet at his disposal, the transportation of immense
number of cannon and morars the thousands of Of
stores of PROVISIONS which enabled Scott to feed the
preparation of the hundreds Of huge surf boats the proper
selection of officers for all this armament taken in con-
nexion with the fact that every thing was done with the
utmost despatch, that not life was lost in the whole
time, that every thing needed was before Vera Cruz at
the time appointed, all in order for immediate action,
show degree of activity, ability, and industry the
part of the President and his Cabinet which is truly
worthy of all commentator, and when the biasses of
party shall have died away, will shine forth as brilliant
w. and be as enduring monument of their worth the
noble achievement which they declsivey secured.
From all parts of the Union, this mighty Of mate
rails brought together, and yet silently and order
" that that any such stupen
dous preparations being made. This by far the
most extensive and powerful war armament equip
ped on this continent Vera Cruz failed to withstand the
onset of half its strength The supplies of every sort
were far extensive than Scott found necessary to
bring to bear upon the town. Vera Cruz would have
been demolished, if Scott had had but 5000 men and but
one half his outfit
