What says General Qui}manZa witness
whose testimony WI scarcely be impeaohed
BY Delnccrats-When acting il the capacity
Of Military and ciyil Governor of Mexico?
He states that when the army entered the
city General Scott attended, in person, to
quartering the mep-ip good houses, and did
every thing in lis power TO render them
comfortable, afteF the ai;,t CUES and rperilss
they had undergone He examined the
sick himself, and had their wants provided
or, and trusted not such service TO others
who, without his Supervision and presence,
n1iaht have Neglected it n1'5r was this hu
nanlty assumed. Gcn, Scott, in former
days, and oa former fields Of glorious achieve
ment, was always kind and attentive to his
soldiers; and The Strongest prof Of this is,
that he was aiwags bqlQyqG by tAem, and
theN oyer tArou8hQQt thein lives, spoke of
him ia the warmest terms Of aJ,nirution and
enthusiastic deyotion ' r4t Ha
Gen. Scott when upon campaign, or
nIon lhq exc 0f an iaFortant battle, is doubti
les strict Hewould jennw0r5hy tle name
Of the greatest commander Of the age, ana
incapable Of defeating his country s foes. L
he was NOT, nor is it at al astonishing thai
amongst the many officers who, in. hi ) yari-
ous campaigns, have served uI.de, him some
should have thought him too stIic5? Is it
wonderful that there Should be some in tie
army, restlve under restraint, and disposed
to act III q manner unauthorized by even TIE
shadowof discipline? One Of lis old sol
dicrs has said Ct hin,-sIrat although he was
a;nct with tie oiiiccrs, he was mighty good
to The men. This, any one who hils served
under sen. Scott VIII coIroboa.cl Nor
need we 60 beyond the limits Of Arkansas for
an incident Illustrative Of the attachment Of
Of those over whom il has been falsely said,
il is his disposition to tyrannize. IL occur
red in 3;alion county, IN this State on the
ith Of July last, ana thc notice Of It's taken
from tho Memphis Eagle and Enquirer
THE good people Of the neighboraood wings
AMI democra's, were about getting up a1barbeeae
celebration OF the d&y. Every thing was provid-
"a tor, except the Hg8d1 There was, in tha;
county, some fifteen or eighteen Of che bovs,''
VITO haI gone out with Cot Yell and had after
wards Got over Oh Scott iillc. and had served
there during that glorious campaign. The news
oi ScQtts nomination had just reached there, and
tue chances OF his success was materially the sub
jeet OF conversation. lbe democrats started this
.alilc idaa Of Ills aup2puiar,y VItn his.miiitary
as>ocj2tes as 4 strong clement ui h!> defeat and
the question was n.CCted how these fifteen OF
eighteen Arkansas Aoitaiteers would 90. Finally
4 friendly wager oi eli the lrinkabcs ,or the BAR
JecQe was agreed upon between the Scott aad
ie;te iiGil Q6pGiCant upon t!iG way tBeSG VCUn-
teers Wouid east their suffrage. Only eleven Of
them came 10 the barbecue. bat these though
tlrac-.Juras oil them were democrats, Were unau-
lmous or THEN old conREanQes Gen. Scott.
And SO, we trust, it VIII be in Arkansas
IN Ncyenber. Sc, we know it would be, If
the people generally were Us wen acquainted
With Gen. Scott as the volunteers at the
Marion Fourth Of July meeting. In pub
