GEN. ScoTT.-This tribute to Gen. Scott, as
just as it is eloquent, we take from the Phila-
delphia North American:


No higher evidence could be given of the
lofty merits and great military ability ofa COM
mander, than the hope, almost amounting TO
confidence, with which all classes now look
to Gen. Scott TO extricate our little army from
the awful endorsements in which the Ad-
ministration has plunged it. His genius has
ever risen with the crisis; and we doubt not,
whatever the result, that he will be found great
er in the hour of adversity than when our eagles
scared on, almost without delay or hindrance,
from victory to victory. This is the test of
great soldier, one which the greatest captains
have not always been able TO encounter with
out loss of reputation.


We rely, with all confidence, upon the abili-
ties of our officers and the valor of our soldiers;
what man, in the most towering exaltation of
his energies, can do, they will do; yet aban-
doned as they have been by the Administration
cut off from communication and aid, and pent
up amid an overwhelming superiority of an
CRY numbers. thrill of fear will mingle with
our confidence. How does the heart of the ma
tion go forth towards the strugglers; and with
what Joy will be hailed the tidings that shall
tell us-they are SaUed!
