In abort, the whole responsibility of the re.
nuise at Manassas rests on Gen. Scott. Yet
i,non tha defeat there vss one universal hue and
cry throuehout the country that it was caused by
interference With Gen. SCOTS plans, and de.
mand that he should thenceforth have the en-.
tire control. Public opiuion and the whole
nevspaper press, with very few exceptions,
among which ve desire to be counted, went off
with a hue and cfy on this false scent. The most
notable instance was that of the New York
Tribune. which IN to that time had been crit.
cizing Gen. SCOTS slowness and Inadequate
preparation. and lust when the business Of it's
criticisms was vindicated by the utter failure of
GEN. SCOTS mana the Tribune retracted
everything. acknowledged that it was wrong and
that Gen. Scott was right. and declared that the
homes of the country rested entirely upon him.
