I MISCELLANY.
. » . Five Years Ago. ' .
.Mr. Warland,_E(li'.ot' of the Lowell Cour-
ier and Journal, who was an officer under
Gen. Scott’ in Mexico, gives the following
account of Gen. Scott’s‘entry into and depar-
ture from “ the-Halls of the Montezumas:”
Gen Scott’s*Trz°mnpha.nt Entry into the City
oIMe.'it1.ca as a Conqueror —His departure
from itas a Przsoner.
Five years agoilhisr morning, Gen. Scott,
at the bend of his brilliant staff, made his tri-.
umphant entry into the ancient Capital of
the Atzecs. He had already ordered a por-
iion ofthe troops to the Grand Plaza, and as,
at a little after nine o'clock, he rode up from
the western garita among them, in full uni-
form, and mounted upon his splendid charg-
er, the spectacle was one of deep and thrill-
ing interest to every American. The stars
and stripes floated to the breeze from the
National Palace. The old Cathedral loouied
magnificently up on one side‘. of the square,
and from the balconies of the old Cortez e(li~
fices on the other,<tbe Spanish and Mexican
girls were seen to wave their white ’kerchiefs
as emblems of peace, and ‘silent ‘ petitioners
for favor from the advancing Conquetor.—-
Beneath the pillars of the bazar, and undei
the shadow of the Catliearal,—inight be seen
grim Mexicans, scowling from their scrapes,
and beneaihtheir broad sombrerosl-ivonder
struck at the idea oftbeir beautiful Capital of
250,000 souls, having ihus suddenly fallen
into the hands of less than eight thousand
American troops. As the General rode
through the Grand Plaza—amid the Yankee
blue jackets drawn up in perfect order on
either side, and the heavy cannon, whose
ihunders but the day before were heard vriih
such fearful effect at Chapultepec, ranged
here and tliere—-all discipline for the moment
seemed to be forgotten by the gallant soldiers.
They loved their Cbiefalmost to adoration
They had been with hiui in his perilous
march from Vera Cruz, and had followed
him into the blaze of every victorious battle-
field—aml now on this morning to see him
triumphantly entering the enemy's Capital,
their lieaitsihrilled with joy and exultation.
Throwing offall restraint, as the old hero
came forward upon his prancing steed, the
hearty huzzas and cheers rent the air, long
and loud.
As the General took off‘ his cap, in ac-
knowledgement of the cordial greeting from
his victorious men, one ofthe bands struck up
our national air, and again and louder than
before, the liuzzas brokc from the lips of the
exullant troops. Gen Scott, dismounting at
the gate ofthe National Palace, eiitered the
die ‘grand hall or saloon, from which the
edicts of Vice-roys and Govenors and Presi-
dents, for centuries had been issued, and im-
mediate-ly wrote an order, announcing his
occupancy ofthe Mexican Capital. In that
announcement-—u copy of which is before
lls, he says, and beautifully says—“ Under
the favor of God the valor of the army, after
many glorious victories, has hoisted the col-
ors of our country in the capital of Mexico,
and on ihcpalace of its government. The
honor of the army, and the honor of our
country call for the best behavior on the part
ofall. The valiant must, to obtain the appro-
bation of God and country. be sober, orderly
and merciful. His noble brethren in arms
will not be deaf to this appeal from their com-
mander and friend." On the afternoon of
the same day, Gen. Scott again addressed the
troops in these words: “ The General-Em
Chicf calls upon his brethren in arms to re-
turn, both in public and, private, worship,
thanks and gratitude to God for the signal
triumphs vs hicli they have recently a'clii+-i._‘/ed"
for their country. Beginni_ng,with the l9’th
of August and ending the fifth instant, this
army has gallantly fought its way through
the fields and forts ofCoi*i=tieras, San Antonio,
Churubu.-;co, Molino del Rey, Clrepnltop'ec
into the capital of iVlcxic'o. When the very
brilliant deeds" shall have become kt‘i‘o'vvn, the
world will be astonished and our country-
men filled with joy and admiration.-”
in such fitting langu'a’ge did the vicloriloiis
conqueror address the men under his coin-
inand upon his triumphant entry into the
Mexican capital. How well his words were
:he'ede(l,- and with irlrat i‘le‘}’o‘lion and patriot-
ism he proceeded at o'nce to‘ the work of se-
curing thegreat Object of his mis'si‘oi'i--an
'h'onor-able peace—is known to the nation and .
There‘ never was an ariny
whose bearing and conduct in a concfuercd
C-,m,g,,.-, reflected such honor upon‘ itself or
u’no'n its own country‘, as the Am'erie'a‘r_r army
in Mexico. Upon its entranceinto the cap-‘
ital, the Republic had no government, and
l'l.' therefore’ became the first duty of General
S'c'o'lt. to give the people an 1l(lmlfll‘Sl|‘tlll0n,
property, and in their religious iibserviinces.
Here‘ it was that the victorious chiefdisplay-
which won the ao'inirat.ion of the whole ar-
_my,-a*nd proved- his unquestionable claim to
‘the po:se;sion of the higher attribute of the
statesman, as well‘ as of the soldier.-
ticn of aflfiirs, during General‘ Scott's 0cctI‘-
ancy of ‘Mexico, than to say, tl‘rat'i't was
'1‘h-rough his devotion, perseverance and in-
cessant labors, peace also was finally restored.
I have briefly Sl{l‘.l.Cl]8ll_ll'lC‘ Consyueroyfs tri-
umphant entrance into the National Palace
on the morning of September 14th. - But
now the scene changes-—and the picture. is
,pe?ef§f‘Qdi~ lfn. precisely six- months, to a day,
li-‘our tEl‘e‘<_late. ofliis .own announcement of
the occiipancylof the capllal,_G'en. Scott stood
in’ the _N'at.'ional Palace, :1 prisoncr—=zmdlthe
chains ‘forged by ./lmer2"ca'n‘ hericls at home.-A
He was summoned beforea Court of Inqui-
his judges, his iuferiors, his tall commanding
I
.(‘-t.'
and the gates of San Cosme and 'I‘aci'i'baya, ’
limited numbers who "have performed such“
which wuu'l'il pi‘ot'cc't them in’ their right of %
ed those high civil and adiiiinistraiive talents, ,
We ,
shall not dwell further upon the adm'r'ni‘stra- 5
ryin the P'alace—-and as he stood up before‘ i
form the observed‘ at al'l_.ol,isel‘V6|'S-f-[_)l'eat__ill)_.g~.;
A his rights, modestly alluding to his own sell‘-' '
. vices, and portraying the wrongs he had re-
ceived, one could butsay, “Alas, there" is
reason to complain of the ingratitude of Re-
publics!" Ou the morning of the 14th of
March following his entrance into the capi-
tal, he stood before that Court in the Palace,»
and addressed his accusets. His words, as
he stoodup boldly and respectfully before
them in the‘ great saloon we have referred to,
were as follows-—“ Here in the capital of
Mexico, couqured by the American arms un-
der my Command, I find myself but a pris-
oner at laige—the cliief criminal before this
court. Stricken down from 8 high command,
from 11 high military position, the highest,
perhaps, ever » occupied by any individual
since the days of the Father of his country
—-the’ immortal Washington—-I feel deeply
wounded ; my military pride has been’ cast
down into the dust, not by the public enemy,
but by the long arm of power from homc.——
All that could be done in that q'uarter to de-
grade and humble rife, has been done. But
sustained by the Almiglity’s arm, feeling
strong in conscious rectitudc, strong in mind
and body,-I bid (la;/lance to my acousers !"’
There wasiiot. an Aiiierican In .“ilexic‘o who,-
old hero, "like Columbus, in c’ha’ins,»dish*on_or'-
ed by his own country, did not feel mlortifi-ed
and ashamed that be sliottld have received
such treatment. ‘ The \vl‘i‘ole matter of the
court, as every one knows, proved to‘ be a
magnificent farce, and was finally dropped
-as ifthe onlypbject of its inétigaitor had
-been to degrade Scott i'1po‘n the very theatre
of his glorious renown.
And now the scene changes again. Oh
the 22d ofApri| it became knovin to some
few that Gen. Scott was about to ,leave the
capital ofMexico for his l'i'on‘ie. In the eve-
ning of that day a large assemblage of the
friends of the gallant hero c'o|'|ec'ted in front
bade him farewell by a grand serenzicle.-=-
Several appropriate and touching. airs were
played, and at the close of the very spirit-
sti.-ring sounds of “ Hail to the Chief,” the
commanding form ofthe General n‘Ia's seen
to come to the front of the balcony, from
whence he bowed his thanks, silently, it is
true, but the feelings of ‘many a b‘otz'nding
and warm heart responded, and three loud
and liearty cheers were given for Gen. Scott
as he disappearetl from the windoiv. _
The next morning there was an nffecfing
scene in front of his quartets, as he came
out to start on his journey l0 Vera Cruz--4
The Ride Guard was drawn up to receive
him,zind as he passed they p'resen*te_d ai‘m*s
to their beloved commander for the last time
and shed tears lilrechildren, and so a izctecl
was the old hero that he could scarce get in
to his carraige. Officers and men crovvd'ed
around him, and as he was too‘ much‘ over-'
come toreceive them’ all, those who had not
the happiness of ~haliiu9.' him by the la-and,
were glad to get a sight of him‘ as he depar-
ted. Those who had not even a chance to
see him, mounted their horses and folltrwed
him on’ the road, determined that he who
not leavethc valley of his great o‘perations
without one ad-ieir. Around his carriage-
for be was too rri'ucb.exhausted by his heavy
labors, and the emotions of parting, iviihe
his btrotliers in a’rn‘i's,- to tide on h'o'rsebac'k——
as it proceedecl, along’ the‘ causevvay to El
Penon, the otI‘i‘cer‘s' crowde(l_,-and as filsl. as
one could give the “. God bless you’, Gener-
al,” and fall back,- his place was supplied by
an'ot_b'er,— and so l'l'i'e‘a'cl’i’-ens c’on‘tinu'ecl for a
long way on the road. , __
