General Scott returned from San Juan on
Monday. He is at home in Twelfth-street,
engaged in writing his dispatches to the
State Department. and is not to go on to
Washington for two weeks, at least He
looks hale and hearty, and says he is deoi-
dedly invigorated by his trip. The General,
you know, is seventy four years old. The
other two senior officers in the army, Wool
and Twiggs, are both over seventy. 1t is
not at all unlikely that they may all pass
away within the next five years, and the
command Of the army will then, undoubt-
edly, devolve upon the hot headed and rash,
though gallant General Harney, who will
do nis best to give his troops plenty Of en-
ployment, iarney is a Kentuckion by birth,
and q true,hearted Southerner in sentiment.
