Plans Of Gen. Scott.

The best American Generals have sought to
gam their victories with the least possible loss
of life. The lives Of irecmen are too valuable
to be sacrifice /, if the end can be gained by
strategy. Napoleon never counted the losses,
provided he won the field. New levies could
be enrolled to fill up his shattered but victori-
ous ranks. In the war with Mexico, Scott
true to the policy of Washington and Greene,
gained his objects by military skill quite as
much as by the valor of his soldiers on the
field. This course, besides being the more hu-
name, is cminently fitted to win the confidence
accomplishing what they undertake. II they
are sent to storm Fort, or carry difficult po-
siton, they know it can be done, because Scott
has ordered it, But in the present crisis, Cen
eralship is especially important in view of the
character Of the contending parties. If the
opposing armies shall come to close quarters,
the most dreadful carnage may be expected on
both sides. Neither party will give ground,
till on the brink of annihilation. We know
that no New England Regiment will be found
wanting; and We have read of the desperate
valor displayed by Southern troops in the lato
Mexican war. From their relation to sub
iecl race, they have been accustomed to the ex-
crciae OF cruel passions, and these are now en-
FILTERED by a most intense hatred. Should
the Southern troops be as unscrupulous
on the battlefield, us their political leaders
have been, and 80 provoke retribution from the
Northcrn soldier, we may expect the bl0odiest
battles Of the century. Let us be patient with
Scotg and the Administration, and be content
with result acquired at less expense, but not
less sure in the end.

MONTPELIER, May 20, 1861.
MIR. EDlToR 1t was with pleasure that |
learned of the patriotism Of the adde's Of Mont
peller, in 80 promptly contributing funds for
The purchase of ~ Flag for the Capital Guards,
and their subsequent offer of services, to make
their " iatigues,' and provide them with those
little necessities which will 90 far towards re-
placing the comfortable homes which they
leave behind, Judging from the appearance of
the '' Guards in ranks and out can afford
to venture the opinion that the deeds Of their
brawny arms and brave hearts will amply repay
the ladies for any service which they may per
, form.
Having learned, TO day, that thecomm issicned
officers Of the Company will be obliged to pur,
chase their uniforms and equipments, and those
of their servants, from their own private peck
cts, L wou'd suggest that an inquiry in regard
to their ability to incur this outlay, would per-
haps disclose an opportunity for similar dig
play of patriotism on the part of the citizens Of
Montpelier.
Few persons, unacquaintcd with military
matters. have any correct idea Of the cost of
the uniforms and equipments of the commss-
! ionod officers. | AIN told that the equipments
alone cannot be purchased for less than fifty
dollars each.
Leaving their homes as they do, with SO short
notice, it would be marvellous if they were pre-
pared to do themselves honor in this thing, with
out some assistance. Let the matter be inves-
tigatcd. A'Cg1znn.
