Letter from Gen. Scott.

ANEN lOhh hHSuoG ~, lOOo'
To the Editor Of the Herdld-In the
Herald Of the 18th inst, yesterday }
it is said, client Gen Scott then at
the head of the United States
Army, had written letter to Mr..
Seward, dated March 3, 1861, clearly
intimating that in his opinion the
better policy was to let the crring
sisters (seceding Statcs) depart in
peace" .
This is a msapprchcnsion. In that
letter-declarod, on its face, to be sup.
Elementary to one of the preceding
October, addressed to President Buch-
anan-Gen. Scott suggested four
methods of dealing with secession, Of
which that quoted by the Heraldis the
last. The reduction Of the seeded
States by arms was his third measure,
the first and second indicated in his
two letters addressed to Messrs
Buchanan and Seward respectively
having failed. These were, to rein
force all the dofcnscs of the Southern
ports with troops, sloops-of war and
revenue cutters; TO permit all exports
to pass free, and also all imports, ex.
copt materials of.war and dutiablc
articles, making the collections on the
latter below tho cities, to avoid con.
nicts. VS..

nA- The Philadelphia Press says :
" Nothing shows the complete col.
lapse of the so-called Democracy
more conclusively than the fate cleo
tions in Maine and Vermont. Though
in the first, strong bid was made for
popular support, by loud resolutions
in praise of President Johnson, they
are beaten worse than ever. Theirs is,
indeed, a cruel fate. IF they support
President Johnson, they lose all the
bitter and angular sympathizers with
treason; if they oppose him, they
lose the sound Democrats, who love
the man, and regard his remedy as
the sure panacea for tho nations
woes.

TO DE CoHTIyUED.1

THE SEoUEL.--Our readers have all
heard the story of soaping the clergy
mans tin horn at camp meeting so
that when he went.to call the cOngrc-
cation together he blew the d" soft
soap" over his brother clergyman, and
how he exclaimed;
Brethren, | have served the Lord
thiry years, aud in this time never ut
tered profane word, but III be
darned if can't whip the man that
soaped that horn"
Our readers, we say, nave all heard
this, but have, perhaps, never heard
the sequel as given to us by n gentle
man present.
Some two days after, tall swarthy
vilianous looking desperate strolled
on the ground and leaned against n
tree, listening to an eloquent cxhor-
tation to repent, which was made by
the preachers. After awhile he be.
came interested, finally affected and
then taking position on the anxious
seat, commenced groaning in F" the
very bitterness "of his sorrow. The
clergyman walked down and attempt
cd to console him. No consolation
he was too wicked-there was no
mercy for him.
"Why, what crime have you COM
mitted ?" said the preacher" have you
stolen"
'Oh, worse than that"
"What, have you by violence rob-
bed female innocence of Its virtue 2"
"Worse than that oh, worse
than that p
Murder" gaspcd tho Mortified
minister. ...
Worse than that" groaned the
smitten sinner.
The excited minister commenced
"pcaling OFF, his outer garments.
7" Here, Brother Cole" he shouted,
"hold my coat. I've found the fel.
low that soapod my horn"

to watch the Gap, and to prevent rencgades
from getting through
This was all the information I got from
him of consequence. But 0rton pursued the
interrogation somewhat farther.
"Did you ever capture any renegadc?" as
he asked this question: 0rton gave him look
so searching that he trcmbled from head to
foot.
/" Yes sir, great many"
"What did you do with them %
owe had orders to shoot them"
"And you carried out the orders2"
"Yes"
At this stage of the conversation, Orton
became furious, and siezing the gun of the
rebel, ordered him to march down to the
lower end of the thcket, where they were
lost from view. When Orton returned he re-
marked that that reh had shot down his last
renegade. ....,.f. .......
We now moved up the mountain nearer the
Gap. We had scarcely reached point of
four hundred yards, when squad of nine
rebels passed over the very spot We had left
We were afraid they had suspected something
and were on our track. But they kept
straight forward till out ofsight.
We now looked up a secure hid;ug place
and there remained till night set in.

Election on 18th, october, 1865.

SHERIDAN's MODE OF FIGHTING
Every master OF battle tactics has a
favorite mode Of fighting, varied of
course by circumstances, and especial
ly by the wary dispositions of the en-
enemy. A study of Sheridan's cam.
paigns will, we think, disclose the pc
culiarity of him very readily. His
success has been most brlliant-the
secret of it is very simple. In the
first place, as we are told by an enthu-
siastic private, just home from the
wars.
Phil. Sheridan fights to win" 9th T..
er Generals manGuvre, and try TO out =
wit the cncmy-to excel in defensive
battle; the offensive of such is always
weak. Sheridan is always on the Of
fcnsivc. We do not now speak Of
Sheridan's raids, which, although con.
Quoted in the most mastery manner,
are subordinate in character to other
plans, and usually seek to elude the en-.
emy. But no, in his grand tactics, as
displayed at Winchester, Cedar Creek
and Five Forks, we observe n prin.
ciple which finds its expression in the
following order of attack: He organ,
lied his army into three divisions
two strong parallel columns of attack,
thrown with the fercest impetuosity
upon the enemy, and reserve in ear.
When the battle RACES in front, so that
his foe is fully engaged, his reserve,
moving by the flank, usually the right,
makes double file around upon the
flank and rear of the earnestly en-
ployed enemy, and rolls him up on
the centre. Just such wcro the tao
tees Of Dessaix and KelIerman at Ma.
rengo. The former moved his six
thousand infantry. by the main road,
upon Gen. Zach's triumphant advance
from Alexandria, while the latter,
moving by the right, made q double
left turn upon Platti's Austrian horse,
and won the day, Sherman'sinva
success, then, has been due 10 the
great earnestncss and valor with
which he always imbues his troops,
and then to histactcs of two columns
and q thanking reserve.-U S. ,STricc
