Gen. Scott and Col. Harney.

For some time previous to the battle Of Cerro
Gordo, coolness had existed between Gen. Scott
and the renowned cavalry officer, Col. Harney,
from causes unknown. Harney was ordered to
take charge Of the column which was to assault
the chief redoubt Of the Mexicans at Cerro Gordo
The task was a most difficult one, and the charge
was therefore one Of high honor 10 gallant Of
officer. At the head Of his column, Harney dash
ed up the steep ascent which led TO the redoubt.
The men followed with the enthusiasm Of yolun-
teers and the steadiness Of veterans. The Mexi-
Guns poured terrible storm Of fire upon the ad-
vancing foe, but could not check them for an in.
slant. On the Americans pressed, over q steep
and rugged road, cheered by the voice and exam
pie of Harney. whose towering form could be
seen far ahead amid the smoke of the enemy's
guns. The assaiants reached the redoubt, and
after q short struggle, drove the Mexicans from
their guns. killed, wounded, or captured great
number of them, and raised the shout of victory
The cornmanderin chief was an eye witness Of
tbs whole of his brilliant exploit and the feel
ings OF the brave old warrior may be family con-
ceiyed He who had performed many such heroic
achievemeuts could not but experience emotions
OF pride and satisfaction at the heroism of others
Tie brave ever honor the brave. General Scott
forgot his private and petty dislike and riding
up to the gallant Harvey, complmented him in
strong terms upon his valor and success From
that time the two veterans were firm and ,vo r,Do
friends. .--LouiSviIIe Courier

On the 10th of March, 1S47, Gen. Scott ar
rived before Vera Cruz On the l4th of Septem-
ber, 1847, he planted the stars and stripes over
the national palace in the city of Mexico. Within
these six months San Juan d. D'Ulloa-the Ameri-
can Gibraltar-was stormed, and the battles Of
Cerro Gordo, Contreras, San Antonio, Churubus-
co. Molinos del Rey, and Chepultepec were fought
and won With less than ten thousand lighting
men he attacked and routed, again and again,
thirty thousand of the best troops OF Mexico
posted behind the strongest Notifications, and
fighting with the courage of desperation. No
thing Of military achievement recorded in an
cient or modern history can excel the glory OF
that march from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico!
Such is a brief sketch Of one whose life has
been devoted to the service and glory of his
country, and whose patriotism is enlarged enough
to extend to the whole country. Born Southern
man. reared and educated among Southerners, he
has fought and bed alike for the North and South
and to suppose that he could be willing to do in
justice to either, would be to declare the last
forty years of his life but lie.
Much abuse has recently been heaped upon
this gallant patriot because he declines giving
written pledges upon the various questions which
may be involved in the approaching Presidential
election. We doubt not that several of the gen
tlemen now prominent before the Democratic
party would cheerfully give pledges of any kind
.chaieper, provided they could thereby secure a
nomination. It is not difficult to make promises,
and it is very easy thing to break them. We
could point to an illustrious example in the his
tory of the Democratic party which occurred but
a very few years since. A certain Presidential
candidate gave written pledge that he was in
favor of the protective system, and got tariff votes
thereby; but as soon as elected, became a sudden
convert to the doctrines OF free trade.
When citizen has been for nearly half cen
tury in the service of his country, his past history
is the best guaranty for his future conduct
