| Gen. Winfield Scott has been in the service Tor
more than forty gears but the genius OF General
Franklin Pierce has won for him in forty days
service military reputation which overshadows
by far all the laures of the hero of Lundys Lane!
Let us make the comparison of gallant deeds.
1t is unnecessary to detail the military services
of Gen. Scott, familiar as they are to every cit
izen of the republic. But how Insignificant do
they appear when compared with the immortal
deeds of Brigadier General Franklin Pierce AS
the latter are not so generally known, we will
recapitulate-
l. Gen. Pierce, with $500 Americans, defeat

Soon after the battle of the bridge, our hero
Joined Gen. Scott at Puebla. The whole army
marched in few days for the city of Mexico,
But, before reaching that destination, hard fight
ing was to be done. On the fields Of Contreras,
ChuruJusco, San antonio, Molino del Reg, and
ChcpuJepec, harvest of imperishable laurels
was gathered by the officers and soldiers of that
gallant army. Let US see what was done by our
brave Brigadier on these memorable occasions.
The first battle was that of Contreras, on the
10th of August. Gen. Pierce ,odS in that battle,
but only for part of the time, for here was the
beginning of his bad luck Read the following
account taken from his own letter:
"My horse, at full speed, on the evening of the
10Th, when leading my brigade through perfect
shower of round shot and shells, fell under me
upon ledge of rocks, by which | sustained a Sc
