GENERAL SCOTT IN MEXICO.

We received short time ago, from gentleman
in MARYLAND, a letter of inquiry respecting Gen
ScorTs religious opinions-that is, Of what church
he was q member or professed to be attached to-
and stating as reason for the inquiry that certain
reported incidents in Gen. ScOTT's career in Next
co had led to the impression that he was Roman
Catholic Regarding it ourselves as of less conse-
quence what mans religious faith is, so "his life
is in the right" and not doubling that an honest
Catholic would make as good President as an
honest man of any other persuasion, yet we answer
ed our correspondent as in truth we were obliged
to do, that Gen. SCOTT was brought up in, and has
continued all his life to be attached to, the Proes
tant Episcopal Church, or, we used to call it in
Virginia, the "Church of England" and was in
fact vestry-man Of that church in this city when
be was ordered away to Mexico. Perceivng since
that answer was dispatched, that controversy has
arisen amongst sundry papers in the North on the
question of "Gen. SCoTT's religion" we have con-
cluded that it might not be deemed impairment in
ence alluded to above
We have, however, another motive for recurring
TO the subject. The letter from Maryland led us
to an inquiry into the nature of the transactions in
Mexico to which it referred and the result has been
the discovery of certain military orders Of Gen.
SCOTT while occupying the city of Mexico, which,
10 our judgment, reflect much credit on the wis
dom, prudence, discretion, and humanity of that
illustrious commander that we think it due to him
to lay them before our readers. Few persons, we
apprehend, appreciate the responsibilities, the
anxieties, and the multiplicity of duties which en-
viron the commander of victorious army in
foreign country, the captor of rich and populous
city, and having no guide or check but his own
discretion, unless indeed, as was most fortunately
the case with Gen. SoorT, his own humanity This
brief alusion to the awfuly responsible position of
Gen. ScoTT, after he had fought his way into the
great capital Of Mexico will suggest to the reader
the nature and variety of cases every hour appeal
ing to his sole discretion, and demanding instant
and stern decision. We almost think that the
lustre of his generalship was dimmed by the civic
virtues which he displayed in circumstances so
trying.
From general order, issued on the 18th Septem-
Der, lS47, embracing great many particulars, to
meet all probable exigencies, we extract the fol
lowing passages:
