THE GRAND MOvEMENT-THE PLANS OP GENERAL
SCOTT.
It's evident that General Scott intends TO bring To-
yeher whatever number Of troops may be necessary to
avoid any contingency OF failure in the execution OF his
plans for the suppression Of the South Carolina rebellion
During the past week there have arrived here the New
Hampshire Second regiment, the Fifteenth, Sixteenth
Seventeenth, Thirteth, Thirty first, Thirty second,
Thirty seventh and Thirty eighth New York regiments
and Colonel Bakers California regiment, raised
in New York, the Second Wisconsin, Second
Vermont First Minnesota Fifth Maine, First
Second, Third and Fifth New Jersey, and the
Ninth Massachusetts, regiments, in all nineteen full re-
siments OF these the Fifteenth, Thrtieth and Thirty
second New York, Colonel Bakers California regiment
from New York, the Fifth New Jersey and Ninth Mas
sachusetts have arrived since midnight last night.
Since the government has determined upon vigor-
Gus prosecution Of the war; 1t seems that General Scott
and the War Department are equally determined to
work up to the emergency, and have everything ready
FOR Simultaneous forward movement along the whole
line Of operations from the Potomac to the western
boundary Of Missouri The divisions Of Mcclellan
and Patterson already in motion The forces here
are only waiting the proper moment to cooperate Gene
raj Prentss at Cairo and General Lyon in Missouri are in
state Of preparation and not many days can eapee be-
fore the grand movement will be made which will, with
out doubt push the war southwards beyond the southern
boundaries Of the Border States Of the South and relieve
them from the oppressive desposm to which they are
now subjected by the armies Of JEFF Davis
and his rebel coconspirators. Notwithstanding the
presence Of such immense number Of troops In and
around the capital tie city to-day has been quiet and
eabbahke There have been signs Of disturbance Of
the peace and the admirable police arrangements OF
General Mansfield ample for iis preservation by day
ard night The patrols Of infantry and cavalry, ana the
summary arrest and commitment to the guard house Of
ali intoxicated disorderly soldiers are sufficient TO
maintain perfect discipline and subordnaton General
Mansfield deserves great credit for this.
