Col. Richardson, OF this State, under
took to make "scape-gost;;" of the Re-
publican Members Of Congress, in relation
10 the defeat of thc army at Manassas.
lie said:
Ger. Scott was the greatest General or the face
Of the earth, but he had been freed into the late
engagement, aid fonsht battle against his judy
ment Whose fault was IL: 1t was yours. II

rot fight this battle no one could. unles3 you
rail-, ar.und him tho country will not support yon.
If had not forced A3Ha to pTcc1pltate this ca-
lau1ily, you would have had victory without
lighting battle
This scnsclcss and absurd accusation
vas promptly nipped in the bud by Col.
F. r. Blair, who asked tl,is pertinent ques-
ton: "Jf SCOT acas fit to command, could
hs5e forced iat9 battle against lis oaen sein?e
Nobody had im1Haehed Gen. Scott, ercept The
gentlemen himsclt.''
Richardson had the sense tcperceive thai
lie was caught in his OWL trap. He imme
diate]y retracted the charge, saying, IT.
take itaA back"
The editorial trio in this city, who arr
yocifcratlnga similar charge against till
paper, arc destitute Of the brains to sex
the attitude in which they place Genera
Scott, in their eagcrness 10 make a scapc
goat" Of the TRIBUNE. Their charges, i
true, prove too much. IF Scott was intlu
enced against his OWL judgment to risk :
battle by what this paper said, then he wa
i not tit to command the Grand Army. Blu
il he was not go Influenced, how can an,
Of the blame OF the disaster rest on us
Col. Richardson got Aoisied on his owl
petard, and had the nanliness to Withdraw
tie false charges and back out Of tic dl
!etnma. But the Post, Times aud JoArno
are so ycnomous towards the TRIBUNE
,la: they arc willing to sacrifice the n'a
whom they have pretended to defend,
thereby they can injure the TRIBUNE
