The Commander in Chief of the United
States Army is said 10. be now seyenty-three
wears old At this venerable age, fraction
beyond the allotted period Of three score and
len. n period which few men attain, and which
those who do attain find time of WEAKNESS and
sorrow. a desert and solitude, period of mental
la.situde, and of such physical weakness that
the grasshopper is burthen, the valiant old
chieftain 10 ordered by his Government to the
Island OF San Juan-a journey Of Ave or six
thousand miles-to sustain and preserve the
interests and peace of the country. He under
takes n journey which few men, in other pro-
LESSONS of half his years, could make them
selves ready for at so short a notice, with the
alacrity and promptitude of youth oftwenty
summers, and is already on the ocean, on his
way to his place of destination. After more
than half century OF military service, he
answers the call of his country as readily and
"A. gracefully as when, with his regiment. he
first Joined the army in Louisiana. We are
sure that his countrymen everywhere follow
him with confidence in the success OF his mis-
sion, and the most cordial wishes Ior MS Sale

II is not anticipated that General ScoTT
will be called upon to perform any military
duty on the Pacific, or that war will grow
ont of the San Juan difficulty The question
NJ issue. as we have already endeavored to ex-
plain il, is one which clearly has two sides, and
is proner subject for negotiation. A war be-
tween England and the United States would
be the rnaddest and most suicidal conflict tina
the world ever saw. Neither could increase
their own power, while each would injure and
cripple the other 20 an extent that would
throw both century behind in the cause OF
progress and prosperity. 1t is fortunate
for the cause of liberty and humanity that
the interests of the only free countries in
the world will not permit them to fight, nc
matter what their mutual antipathies and
Dreirdices.
