ghly understood by every successful leader. The art of "attack" and "defence"--when to do the one or the other, and how to do so with the least possible loss and with the most destructive effect to the enemy — is a "gift" which but few men naturally possess; indeed, so few that they are not met with more than "once in a lifetime." Nor will this necessary preparation, of itself, accomplish much for a commander, unless accompanied by prominent traits of character — such as good old-fashioned "mother wit," bravery, and prudence. These, I believe, are all possessed by our friend in quantum sufficit--or, to speak in plain English, "enough to do,"--and I should have no hesitation in placing myself under his leadership in the day of battle. I have known Col. Presion from boyhood, and have ever found him kind-hearted, high-minded and honorable — none more so — and pronounce him to be one of the best field officers in South western Virginia. Yours, Scott.

The Lieutenant General, who is excessively vindictive and malignant, chuckled hugely over the manner in which he had snuffed out the ao is excessively vindictive and malignant, chuckled hugely over the manner in which he had snuffed out the aspirations of his youthful rival; but whose turn is it to laugh now? The successful foray got up by Wool upon the sand-banks cannot possibly afflict the North Carolinians as much as it hurts Gen. Scott.--We unite with him in the cordial hope that the equinoctial storm may soon throw sand in Wool's eyes, and sprinkle a drop or two of water on the parched tongue of the Lieutenant General.

apidly sunk (filled with stone) in the entrances to various small harbors of that State upon the Gulf side; thus blocking up their navigation. The scheme of thus rendering them unfit to harbor privateers, &c., works admirably there, as it will work on the coast of North Carolina. The Star also reports the arrival of another prize — the schooner Admittance, of Baltimore, laden with tobacco — captured below Port Tobacco creek, by the steamer Yankee. The following order from Gen. Scott appears in the same paper: The General-in-Chief is happy to announce that the Treasury Department, to meet future payments to the troops, is about to supply, besides coin as heretofore, Treasury notes in fives, tens and twenties, as good as gold at all banks and Government offices throughout the United States, and most convenient for transmission by mail from officers and men to their families at home.
