Winfield Scott-~Honar to the Great
Veteran.

lFf0m the M1iwRukee wisconsin,
In the present terrible crikis in our national
existence, the minds Of the people turn with
10 small anxietyto the views and policy Of
Gen. Scott, not only because heis Commander
Of the army Of the Republic, but becauee he IL
Virginiau. In this hour Of trial, 80 many ef
the sons Of the Old Dominion haye evlnced
trtachery 10 unparalleled in the history Of
ciyiizsd nations, that there has bean some
fear that Gen Scott would hesitate to invade
the soil Of his native State It Is manifest thst
II Gen 2cott should tail the country in this
crisis, the war Wonld be long and bitter; but
With the loyalty Of this great chieftain and pa-
clfcator, and with the immense resources at
bis command, the War can be rendered short
and decisive. Therefore, NE, as thousands Of
others, feel that the fate Of our country in no
small measure rests in the hands Of tts great
Captsin. He is to be our Washington ia this
second revolution. At the age OF 75, he is as
active and vigorous In the service Of his co1n:
try as he was in the prime Of his manhood, and
hs it il HEo fs expected: to lead our grahd
treason and the most extensive conspiracy q
government ever had to encounter
4 friend in New York who is 10 situated Is
to enjoy the confidence Of our public men,
writes III upon this point, and ne know the
people will receivs with pleasure whatever
heroic services, the stainless patriotism, and
profound sagaeity Of LIeRt~ General WR81ELD
SCoTT:-
although the people felt that the safety of
the Capitol and the Government, depended al
most entirely upon the efforts of Gen. SooTT,
yet not leading article In any journal had I
seen, which gave him sufficient credit for the
work he Was doing. I kaou that, until very
recently, nothing has been done by ths Gov
ernment with the Ugor he advised. It il not
just that this old Nestor OF the Republic:
should not hava, among the loyal people, the
full award due to patriotism aud 1eaL. Vim.
Stewards red tape diplomatic system has been
tried and utterly failed, and even now there Is
toe much lentency shown to the false aad
reslly rebel States Of Maryland, Kentucky and
Tennessee. It is time for the West to speak
loud enough to be hearu At Washington, in =
tone not to be misunderstood, that those
States that do not furnish the quota of men
and arns for ths government, are in state OF
rebellion, and mult be treated u suc1 Il the
Fulerswin not maintain this Government, the
people who made it should do 1t for them"

The garrison at Fort Trumbull, Now, Lon
don, was alarmed on Wednesday night, near
midnight, BY the sound OF musket shot
from one of the seainels. Corporal Smith.
Of the guard, at once turned out his command
and proceeded to the guard post Gem which
the alsrn1 was given. The guard at the wharf
reported having seen row boat, containing
several men, approaching cautiously along the
shore toward the wharf, which be challenged
three times, then, not having received any re-
sponse, fired. The beat WAS hasttly put about
and pulled into tbs river, where the guard
lost view Of 1t in the darknesss. This Is the
third tins, says the Chronicle, that boats have
works in suspicious manner. The parties
run most uncomfortable risk, With precious
little prospect Of making anything BY such

James'a ri1ed cannon and II It dpes hot
make good report Of itsslE, wa are mis-
taken. The Colonel of this celebrated rcgi-
ment is 4. E. Burnside, who is well known
10 many Of our citizena For two years,
be was Cashier of the Land Department OF
the Illinois Central Railroad Company, and
was subsequently transferred to the trea-
surerahlp at New Ynrk. He is nefsxe El. Il: 9t
Indiana, and \ graduate Of West Point;
and during the Mexican war, rendered i'm
portant services to the company, as Col.
G1abam Of this <tatJ can testify: Having
married in Rhode island, with commenda-
BILE gallantry he transferred his allegiance
to Little Rhody. When the war broke
out he was prompt in rendering his services
to his adopted State, and was appointed
Colonel Of the First Regiment with Gov.
6prague as Commander-insChieG
The State was among the first to tespona,
to the proclamation of the President md
when Col Burnside waatela:31r 31raphed in New
York to inform then. how long a time he
required 70 e. ready, lie respo uded, Zone
minute = As the regiment, on board the
Coatsaaoa1eas, at New York, were about
starting for Washin gton, = call was made
by the crowd for the officers. Gov sprague
promptly responded. Col. Bu inside held
back until their yociferations became deaf
ening, when he appeared on deck, and ex-
cused himself BY saying that he would
make . speech when they returned; and
we predict that the gallant Colonel viii
speak in manner worth listening to, when
the Rhode Island regiment does return.
Wilkes, in the last Spirit Of th< Times,
graphically describes the trip Of the New
York7ht in company with the Rhode Island
regiment to Washington how in steam
ing past the mouth Of the Potomac where
it was apprehended the rebels had erected
batteries, the coatzaooa1o. placed herprow
the stern Of the Harriet Lane, that
K 1t be the first to run the gauntlet;
!" Annapolis the "tsnoring valor oi
Rhode island occupied the professors
housey, like sardines slowed away IN boxes;
and how on the dreary march to Washing
ton. thew m,noeuvered to lead, that Ley
might be the first to encopr.1.er the rebel
scouts, aud the frs.. to report themselves
to the eComnander-in-Ch Chief Burnside ap~
pears verywhere, like 4 peEyading spirit.
We shall watch the movements Of this
regiment with much interest. We predict
that they will come out Of this War, cover
ed al over with glory and that result will
be largely due to the munihcence Of Gov.
Sprague, and the soldiery qualities Of Col
4. E. Burnside.

"Mr. Russell, the correspondent Of the Lon

dsfsct in his speech. He suffered. His
clerks gathered round him to Zee the Yankee,

make himself understood, the captain at last
turned to the book keeper and said, "What

1hs CommIssa1y and Q1afte1master Generals
OF This stats, permit me- who, perhaps OF all
o:hers, ,havehad bette opportunity to observe
the operations Of their different departments,
to bay, that the emergency that no suddenly
forced their departments INTO extended and
unusual oper ltions, also called upon those OF:
fcers to select II tnatr assistants, such men
as they k,a<y we're best lifted for their posi-
tiona, aud nearest within their reach Was 1t
not natural that they should select those
whom they had been most fanailiarly acquain-
ted with and whose services they could imme-
diate1y' comrnand7
As far 3. Captains Bradford, Webber, Owen
and Armstrong Ce concerned, can bear
cheerful aud willing testimony to their effl-
cheney In their eeyera1 departments do not
tnink that among the seven thousand and
ind man who will not cordially endorse me
in my approval Of tho conduct Of the officers
named, sad my only wonder il, that In 10
short time men could have been selected
who would have given 90 universal satisfac.
tion. Their duti were arduous and inces-
ssnt a9d often annoying, but were always per-
formed with the utmost willingness and good
nature
As to ths other officers mentioned, I can
only say, that as far es my duties brought me
IN consaet with ihen, I have bund them will
ling md competent to perform the business
Of their separate departments.
