Mr.. Richardson-I repeat tha,
Gen. Scott had been forced to fight

Cured yesterday morning. My col.

myself, were present with the Pre-,
sident, Secretary of War, and Gen
Scott. In the course of our conver-
sation, Gen. Scott remarked Il am the
biggest coward in the world" rose
from my seat. Stay" said Gen
Scott, II will prove it. l have fought
the battle against my judgment. and
l think the President ought to remove
me to-day for doing it, ''As God
is my judge" he added, after an in
terval of silence, Il did all in my
power to make the army efficient. and
l deserve removal because l did not
stand up when could and did not
l stand here to vindicate Gen.
Scott. l am indebted to the gentle
man from Missouri for the compli-
mcnt he paid me. l desire to say
for myself that l am here the last of
a generation, my father and grand
father having fallen beneath the flag
Of their country. l, too, have fought
under its folds, at home and abroad,
and God willing, there l will stand
till the end of my life, defending 1t
against all forces.
Mr.. Washburne-As my colleague
has referred to Gen. SCOTS remarks,
he might also allude to what the
President said.
Mr.. Riclrardson-I will do so.
Your conversation implies" said
the President to Gen. Scott, THAT |
forced you to battle" To which
Gen. Scott replied 81 have never
served under President who has
been kinder to me than You have
been" But Gen. Scott did not re
lieve the President from the fact of the
latter having forced him to figh, the
battle. Gen. Scott thus paid n com

known him from boyhood. If you
let him alone he is an honest man.

Generals, and their capacity for gas,

was $4,000 strong, spread out over
ten miles; and-that the Enquirer was
guilty of "Gloomy Treason" for as
serting that the Confederates had as
many as 10000 around Bull Run

the Confederates had over 10000.

We have been reliably informed
that at the above named place, the
next great battle will take place in all
probability, some time this week
Should such prove to be the case, and
the Almighty causes us to be victori-
Gus, and the battle prove as decisive
a victory as that of Manassas, we
predict caving in of the enemy
AS it is, the majority of the federal
army are becoming heartily disgust
ed with the cause they cspouse. Ev-
cry day we receive. intelligence of
dissatisfaction among their ranks
some desert, others, whose terms of
enlistment have expired, will not
under any circumstances, re-enlist.
With feelings of this description no
body of men can fight. 1t is there
fore useless for our enemies to persist
in a warfare which only injuries them,
the longer they are engaged in it.
They are beginning to view the pres
ent condition of affairs in the same

We heartily endorse the annexed
paragraph, and earnestly commend
its suggestions to the serious atten-
ton Of our readers:
Don't Write Gioomy Letfc,s.-
Those who have relatives or friends
i'll the army ought not to write gloomy V
or discouraging letters to camp. T'hc
soldier has food for sad and gloomy
fits, in his own quiet meditations.
without being assisted by the despon-
ding missives from home. Write th.
soldier cheerful and encouraging let
ters. a letter from home passes the
rounds - the camp, and if its tones
are bright and cheerful it puts plea
SAINT hue on all. If you feel sad don't
write at all, rather than write in a
sad strain
