The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1847-07-16

The New York Courier attempts to decry the energy Il
the administration, and to depreciae the numbers which
have been sent to General Scott We heard two disih
guished military officers say todaythe one, that GaI
Scott must have 1000 effective forces, excluding hi
garrisons and the SICK counting the detachmens Of G
erals Cadwallader and Pillow and not counting the
tachment OF Gen. Pierce and the marines, and the oi
troops that are en- route for his camp; the other Office
stated that from all the elements OF calculation that
in his possession, Gen. Scott must have under his eas
near l3O0O without counting the sick, the garrison, a
the troops en- route With 10000 or with 10000 med
equal TO any troops in the world Gen. Scott would Y
able to defeat any force which the Mexcans could bn
against him, and to take the capital.
The "New Orleans Bulletin" by this evenings ma
gives the following estimate of General SCOTS force, All
of the funds that have been sent TO New Orleans TN
"BuIlctn," too, is always in the sombre vein, and
ways finds fault with the OF the administration
| "GEN. Scorr.-As anxiety has been expressed
regards the situation of General Scott make the foo
ing 10 the force under his command,
way to join him.
Cen Scott, near we can ascertain from our
quires, had with him when Ne joined General Worth ]
Puebla--
He was subsequently joined by Col. Childs,
with the garrison OF Jaapa, about l,400
General Pillow has with him 1900 IN
Gen. Pierce to leave Vera Cruz on the 9th
force Of ".''' A'' '' '' $500 Il
Making together l4,Ioo
SO that when he shall be joined by the reinforcement
that have actually left Vera Cruz, his force will be ab
$4,000 men from which, after making the usual deduct
for the sick list and other contingencies there will still
main sufficient effective force for him to make orwa
movement We take it Tor granted that the reinorcene
will all succeed in joining him for the enemy SUI
ceeds in checking the advanced column, those in the RI
will be coming up, and when united, they will certain
be able to force their through any force the een
can oppose to them.
"The recent heavy arrival OF government funds, we
happy learn, has enabled the discussing officers to
off all arrears, and to promptly all demands
Guiding all the army bills from Mexico We hope hi
system will now be continued and that shall hear
further complaints on the subject.
GA large of SPECIE we learn is to be sent dow
to Vera Cruz, by early opportunity, for the OF
army but if the bills drawn from thence promptly M
their credit will soon be restored, and the army canP Il
cure, in that mode all the specie it may require, wh
mourning the risk and expense of sending from hence
cat the last advces from Gen. Scott he was nearlyd
haused Of funds, and the specie going up with Gen %
wallader will hardly be less important than the rcnoT
ment in that he takes with him.
Besides these reinforements, there are troops COT
santly route for Gen. Scott as for example the 70
lowing which noticed in this evenings New 0hea
