Among the proceedings in the Senate on Tuesday
our readers will have observed that resolution
passed that body, which was offered some days ago
by Mr.. CLEMENS, to authorize the creation Of the
office of aforementioned. As it is well under
stood that this proposed increase Of rank in our Ar
my has reference to one gallant veteran, we pre-
sumo we may congratulate him upon so especial and
fattering compliment as is conveyed by this vote
of the Senate. The passage of this Resolution is
indeed an enyiablc testimonial to the many dis
tnguished services and to the long devotion to his
country which have made the name of WINFIELD
ScoTT household word in all parts of our country
even before the Partially of his friends presented
km to his fellow-citizens candidate for the
highest reward within their gift.
Al who know the worthy General are aware that
his equanimity has not suffered from his defeat
has LIS zeal in fs Official duties been at all i'm
paired Even had such been The case, thif dstin-
guished honor might wei be heal Ahg baim'for any
modification arising from wants Of success in that
campaign, in which, for the first time in his life he
underwent defeat.
1t certainly will enhance the value of this gener
Gus tribute to the merits of General SCOTT, when
he remembers that the grade Of Lieutenant General
has been conferred but once before in our history
That was upon GEORGE WASHINGTON In 1898
he was appointed, by the unanimous vote Of the
Senate, upon the nomination Of President JOHN
ADAMS, at time when hostilities with France were
imminent as to require reorganization and in
crease of our Army
The Resolution has as yet indeed only passed the
Senatorial branch of Congress; but we do not per-
NIT ourselves to doubt that it will also receive the
sanction of the House of Representatives.
