owing that his military life, like that of many other Generals, has been one of alternate triumphs and reverses. The Mexican victories, which gave him his chief eclat, were due more to Gen. Taylor's triumphant campaign on the Rio Grande, and to Gen. Lee's engineering skill on the Vera Cruz line, than to his own talents. Old Zack broke the spirit of the Mexicans at Palo Alto, Resaca, Monterey, and finally at Buena Vista, where the flower of the Mexican Army, under Santa Anna, was smashed to powre the splendid column of Scott, composed in great part of Old Zack's regulars, whom, with his usual magnanimity, the Lieutenant-General had despoiled Taylor of on the eve of the battle of Buena Vista, and commanded by such officers as Beauregard, Lee, Johnson and others.

The Star very consequentially denies the rumor current this afternoon, and indeed all day, that Gen. Rosencranz has been surrounded by Generals Lee and Wise, and that a dispatch to that effect had been received at the War Department; but the denial may be denied in a day or two. One of the floating scandals of the Departments saith that Mr. Beverly Tucker, Consul to Liverpool, has been naughty in a financial point of view; that he has been drawing freely on Government "for relief to distressed sailors;" that he has incurred so heavy an amount of personal indebtedness in Liverpool, that the effects of the Consulate would have bee

e apprehension is felt for the safety of the Federal troops under Gen Rosencranz in Western Virginia. The Enquirer remarks: There seems to be no doubt that Gen Lee, with a large, well organized and well-provided army, is on his way from Staunton to Huntersville. The defeat of the Federal troops at Manassas enabled the Confederates to withdraw a large force from Richmond for operations in Western Virginia. General Lee is a very different officer from the deceased Garnett, who was simply a professor or teacher, while Lee is a practical, experienced field-officer.
