Major General Winfield Scott.

PETERSBURG, va, Aug. 10, lol4.
This gallant soldier, who has not yet at
tained his thirtieth year, is a native of
this county (Dinwiddie.) In this State he
received his education, and its last polish
at the College Of William & Mary. With
skA, diligence, perseverance, and n"rioai-
led eloquence, lie practised the law for a
short time in the adjacent counties. But
bis great soul aspired to " deeds of arms
He entered in the service of his country in
1908, and with the commission of Captain
of light artillery, in a short time Joined
the Southern army under Gen. Wilkin-
son. His arrest, the charges against him,
and his unparalleled defence on that occa
sion, have long since been before the pub.
lic His noble defence convinced the cab
met at Washington, and the world at large
that he was the .SeAotar, tie Politician, ana
the iSollier. Since then, no man has as
ccnded the military ladder with more re
sp.endent rapidity than has Winfield Scott
TWO MORE ROUNDS, and he viii
have topped the climax of military honor
