A Correct Opinion.

On reading the last news from the eri-
raca, Gen. Scott is said TO have remarked
that the greatest obstacle the Allies had to
contend with was a divided command. Ma
nv remarks relating 10 the present war have
been attributed 10 Gen Scott which mos.
rrobabiv he never made, bu, whether ne
ms lie the above one or mol, il is doubtless
correct. II would seem 10 US that j any
one thing more than another required enc
head IL direct its movements il is an army,
and the only instance which we now re-
member where divided command led the
movements Of victorious army. was that
of Marlborough and Eugene. During some
of the campaigns of th9se celebrated Cap
,ains they commanded on alternate days,
vet surh was ths identity OF their opinions
that their operations never elashed, but as
completely doretailed as ii they had beer
the carnations OF one mind. There has
been no such uaanimity between the French
aud English commanders In the Crimea
bot all who have criticised the Crimean
movements, have united in attributing much
the greater part of The disasters which have
befsllen the allied troops, TO the disagree
ments Of the Generals who commanded
them.
