The Daily Dispatch: February 23, 1861., [Electronic resource], General Scott on military discipline. (search)
General Scott on military discipline. --The following is a copy of a letter written by General Scott to Mr. Fillmore, in 1847: "Headquarters of the Army, "Mexico, 1847. "My Dear Sir --I have received the two letters (one from the Rev. M. Angler, and the other signed by Mr. Van Wyck,) asking, on several grounds, the discharge of Jas. Thompson, a private in the second Artillery. "First--He has since his enlistment reformed his habits. This is an argument in favor of his seut many pious officers and men in our ranks; but, "Third--It is alleged he has imbibed conscientious scruples against performing military duty. If the man be mad, he can be discharged on a surgeon's certificate to that effect; but if he has only turned coward, we have ample means of punishing him, if he should, when ordered, refuse to fight. "I return the letters you enclosed, and remain, my dear sir, with great esteem, "Yours, truly, [Signed] "Winfield Scott. "Hon. M. Fillmore."
