Gen. Scott. We have already given Gen. Scott's account of himself, which we are sorry to say shows that the Lieutenant General has not been a dull pupil in the school of mendacity at Washington, and that to his claim of being "the greatest cowaGen. Scott's account of himself, which we are sorry to say shows that the Lieutenant General has not been a dull pupil in the school of mendacity at Washington, and that to his claim of being "the greatest coward in the world," he may add that of being the greatest story-teller, with the exception of James Gordon Bennett and Horace Greeley. It is established beyond all doubt that he is responsible for the invasion of Virginia, in every particular of when, im under a full sense of the vast importance of the result. We have long been among the few who have been skeptical of Gen. Scott's claims to greatness, and the manner in which he has quibbled and shuffled, and played the theatrical since this grande him playing the stage here before that malignant lunatic, Lincoln, and tragically denouncing himself for permitting Winfield Scott to be forced into such a battle!

Memphis has proved as inaccessible as Richmond, and hence, we conclude that the war cannot, by any possibility, be as "short" as laid down in the original bills. In the meantime, what is to become of those commercial interests which confessedly could not stand a long war? What are England and France to do without cotton? Are they expected to wait till the North can shorten and sharpen its weapon again?

Gen. Scott. --Old "Fuss and Feathers" has been placed in the back-ground, and Gen. McClellan takes his place in the front of the picture. This is apparent from the Washington dispatches. Gen. McClellan does this, and Gen. McClellan does that; but not one word of the veteran Dr. Scott. Nobody pities the defunct chieftain — no one does him reverence. Gen.
