1t has been the prayer of every patriot, that
the tramp and din of civil war might at least
spare the precincts within which repose the
sacred remains of the father of his country
But this pious hope is frustrated. Mount Yer
non, SO recently consecrated anew to the i'm
mortal Washington, has already been overrun
by bands of rebels, who, having trampled un
der foot the constitution of the United States
the ark of our freedom and prosperity, are
prepared to trample on the ashes of him to
whom we are all mainly indebted for this
mighty blessing Should the operations of
war take the United States troops in that di-
rection, the general in chief does not doubt
that each man will approach with due rever-
ence and leave uninjured, not only the tomb
but also the house, the groves, and the walks,
which were so loved by the best and greatest
of men. By command of Gen. Scott,
e. d. TOWNSEND.
Assistant Adjutant-G General.

quence.
