Medal to General Scott.

The Union referring TO the sword Just presented by
Virginia to Gen. Taylor for "his military services and
merits, says:
'We shall be happy in like manner, TO commemorate
the compliment which Virginia pays 10 another of her sons,
and another of distinguished generals We
bic at this time whether she has passed resolution
present votlve Major General Winfield Scott.
We presume such compliment will be likewise paid to
him by the leg isaue OF his native State lie deserves
AS much, if not more, than Gen. Taylor"
We would inform the Union that Virginia has already
voted and presented sword General Scott for his
vices in the of 1912, and Saturday last we had
the pleasure of seeing beautiful device for the spen-
did gold medal voted to General Scott by the Virginia
legislature, in 1S474S, for his distinguished exploits
in Mexico On side is represented Doric col
umn crowned with eagle and entwined with lau-
| rel leaves, each bearing the name of one of Scott's
great vctores-in the back ground exquisite view
of Chapuepec and the city OF Mexico, with firing of
Shells &c. AT the top the words Fecit quod eogi-
tauf''He executed what he conceived" On the other
side of the medal is the votve inscription. 1t probable
that Gov. Floyd will adopt this admirable design, and
will have the medal executed in time to be presented to
General Scott al the extra legislative session. if possible
We learn that by Napoleon and most military men a
medal is regarded higher compliment than a sword.
But the gallant and splendid soldier, Winfield Scott will
have both compliments from his native State. The pres
idency would be scarcely higher honor especially
the incumbent might lose, civilian some OF the fame
he justly won i'll the service of this country
