LIEUT.. GEN. SCOTT NEVER RE
TREATS.

DO not some of us little forget the char
acter Of the man who commands the United
States armies The secessionsts and even
some Of the nations over the water, understand
him better. One Of the London journals not
many weeks ago remarked that " Gen. Scott
is proverbially a slow commander. He is al
ways unpopular during his campaigns. 1t is
only when the campaign is over and he has
won--as he always has done--that the Wis
dom of his action is understood, and he be-
comes popular" Higher praise could not
we'll have been bestowed upon any command
err, for Che parallel is an exact one with that
paid the Duke of Wellington. He was al
ways a slow cOach-an old fogy He never
seemed TO be doing anything. But he always
won In the end he was always worshipped.
Az Torres Nedras, in the Peninsular war,
Wellington could have cut the French army
20 pieces in few hours, with loss Of half
his own He waited. mannuvred and secur-
ed advantages for week, and he obtained
much more decisive victory with a loss that
scarcely figured 10 the bulletin. Scott could
have taken Vera Cruz in three days with
the loss Of three thousand men he took it in
three weeks, aud lost but hundred or two.
lie; one more point be fairly remembered.
Winfield Scott has been ia arms for more
shan half century. During that time, as
youth. man, and veteran, when in command
OF any description of force, he has HsUer re-
treated one foot Not that he is any drawer
chan officers who have made nearly as many
retreats as advances. but that he cannot he in
duced 10 u9ue until he Is certaia Of his ability
10 maif,taiH his position. Not move will. he
make, IN the present contest until he feels
well assured that he can maintain, in men,
munitions of war, and lines OF communica-
ton, any advantages temporarily secured
and the last thing which should be urged up
on him by the Government, or on the Gov
eminent by the people, is precipitation with
out judgment. Neither the newspapers nor
most Of the people who talk most freely Of
the military position, can do more than show
gross ignorance and presumption in the at
tempt at discussing what this or that plan Of
operations would effect So far all goes well,
and apparently as surely as slow There is
every reason 20 believe that the operations
OF the campaign will continue TO be carried on
with luthiulness and judgment, and we can
not DO better thing than to express that
confidence which wc really have at heart and
wait patiently f1r that success which belongs
TO competent management ia good cause.

CAMP BAXrER.

No one who visits Camp Baxter will fail to
be struck with the fine soldichy appearance
Of the men who compose the Third Regiment.
They are young, of good size athletic, and
apparently ia the enjoyment of perfect health.
But what is particularly worthy Of remark is
the gentlemanly conduct and department
which generally prevails. We are told that
not a single instance Of drunkenness has been
known 20 occur. The men, when not under
instruction or drill are engaged in reading
and writing, in quiet and intelligent CONVEX
saion, or in athletic sports and exercises
We think the eucampment is little less than
a wonder in This respect.
The troops are improving rapidly, being
drilled some eight hours each day. mainly in
company movements. Only one company has
yet been furnished with arms, but further
supplies are expected soon.
The good appearance OF the men and the
order and general sobriety which reign at
Camp Baxter, are in good part due to the ex-
oellent management and the yigiant eve Of
Col Hyde, who is in command. He is uni
yersally respected and even beloved By tho
troops. Modest unassuming yet firm and
exacting in all solderly requirement, kind
and gentle and almost ubiquitous in his in
tetcoursc with the men, they find prompt ODE
diencc and strict subordnation their greatest
pleasure. Col. Hyde was classmate at West
Point of the amented Lieut.. Greble, who fell
at Great Bethel and. being exactly Of size,
they stood side by side through the whole
course. Col Hyde speaks in the highest
terms Of his heroic companion. and says he
came TO love him as brother
The following appointments have been
made:
Lieutenant Colonel-B n Hyde Of Hyde

properly be called mutnous conduct. Their

DRUMMGNG Our HoNEsrY IN CAMP
A letter from Fortress Monroe. June 20, says
The usual routine of camp duty on the out
posts toward Hampton, was yesterday relev-

afforded the soldiers much amusement the

upon their backs with Theft in large let

novel and ridiculous regalia, with other Incl
dental additions unrcportablo, they were

by file of soldiers, and the dlers playing
right merrily the kogues March

The scene was one OF great merrment
among the regiments, and will undoubtedly
have a salutary effect in way Of example. A
soldier, with true soldierly pride about him,
would scarcely prefer such an indgnity to be-
ing shot.
