The following letter, from Gen. Scott TO Gen.
Taylor, will be read at this time with interest:
[Priraie anil CoafdentiaI.l
New YORK, November 26, 1916.
My Dear General: left Washington late in
the day yesterday, and expect 10 embark for New
Orleans the 3Olh instant. By the l2ih Of De-
cember may be in that city, al Point Isabel the
l7lh, and Camargo say the 23I, in order TO be
within easy corresponding distance of you. 1t
is not probable that may be able 10 visit Monte
rey, and circumstances may prevent your coming
to me. | shall much regret not having an early
opportunity of lelicilating you in person upon
your many brilliant achievements, but we may
meet somewhere in the interior of Mexico.
am not coming my dear general, to Supercede
you in the immediate command on the line OF
operations rendered illustrious by you and your
gallant army. My proposed theatre is different.
You may imagine it, and wish very much that
it were prudent al this great distance toteIyou ali
that expect to attempt or hope TO execute.
have been admonished that dispatches have been
lost, and have no special messenger at hand.
Your imagination will be aided by the letters of
the Secretary Of War, conveyed by Mr., Armi.
stead, Major Graham, and Mr.. McLane.
But, my dear general, shall be obliged to take
from you most Of the gallant officers and men
! (ragulars and vounteers) whom you have so long
and so nobly commanded. am afraid that
shall by impGrious necessy-the approach Of
yellow fever on the Gulf coast-reduce you, for
time, to stand on the defensive. This will be
infinitely painful 10 you and for that reason, dis
tressing 10 me. But rely upon your patriotism
to submit to the temporary sacrifice with cheer
lulness.
No man can better afford TO do so. Recent
victories place you on that high eminencc, and
| even fatter myself that any benefit that may
result 10 me personally from The unequal dvs.
ion of troops alluded to will lessen the pain ot
your consequent inactivity.
You will be aware of The recent call for nine
regiments of new volunteers, including one oI
Texas horse. The President may soon ask for
many more, and we are not without hope that
Congress may add ten or twelve 10 the regular es.
tablishment. These, by the spring, say April,
may, by The large bountes, be in the feld--should
Mexico not earlier propose terms Of accommoda-
tlon, and long before The spring, (March,) it is
probable you will be ugain in force TO resume Of
lenslvo operations.
am writing at very late hour Of the night,
and more than half sick of cold. ] may dis.
patch another note before | embark, but from
New Orleans, Point Isabel, &C., you shall hear
from me officially and fully.

The forces under General Scott landed few
miles below Vera Cruz, in the serf boats and un'
der a heavy fire Of shells and round shot, The
troops received but rle damage in landing.
Captain Alburtes, second Lieutenant Of lnfan.
try, was killed, with II men.
The city cf Vera Cruz was completely invest
ed and the water pipes cut off
The American troops had carried all the re-
doubts at the point Of the bayonet.
The Amercanshad possession Of all the points
without the walls of the city.
The Pennsylvania Regiments led the way in
the march, and behaved most gaantly.
As soon as the troops formed into line, after
landing, they marched against the enemy, and
towards the city Of Vera Cruz. 1t was in this
march that the PennsyIvanians distinguished
themselves for GOODNESS and bravery.
General Worth had engagements with the en-
emyscavalry, anddc(caed them. Several Mex
lean magazines hudbeen captured and ammunition
seized, which was intended for the Castle.
Gen. Twiggs suffered greatly for the want
Of cavalry to cut off the retreat Of the enemy
Specie was carried Off in the retreat.
! Vera Cruz will soon fall. General SCOTS
plans, which have been arranged with so much
care, have proved to be excellent, and SO far u:
carried out, every Thing successful.
LATER FROM THE BRAzoS.-lt was currently
reported at the Brazos that Col. Gurus, with the
force at his command, had defeated Gen. Urea
and compelled him 10 retreat
Capt. Lowd had been relieved from the com
mand Of Fort Brown, opposite Matamoras. and /:
about 10 return home on account OF his i'll health
The North Carolina, Virginia and Massachu
sc,ts volunteers had all arrived at the Brazos.
The latest news from Monterey was that Santa
Anna was on full retreat for San Luis Potosi.
Midshipman Rogers, captured some time since
while rcconnoirreing near Vera Cruz, has beer
rescued. He was leaving Vera Cruz for Perotc
under guard when it was Intercepted by our for
ces and he was rescued.

HYMN.

How soft the word my Saviour speaks,
How kind the promises he makes,
A bruised reed he never breaks,
Nor will he quench the smoking flax.
The humble poor he won't despisc,
Nor on the contrte sinner lrown,
His ears are open 10 their cries,
lie quickly sends salvation down.
When pety in early minds,
Like tender buds, begin to shoot,
He guards the plants from ,hreol'nng Winds
And rpens blossoms into fruit.
With humble souls he bears a part,
In all the sorrows they endure;
Tender and gracious is his heart,
His promise is forever sure.
He sees the struggles that prevail,
Between the powers Of Grace and sin,
He kindly listens while they tell,
The bitter pangs they feel within.
Though pressed with fears on every side,
They know not how the strife will end,
Yet He will soon the cause decide,
And Judgment into victory send.
