Scott After The Combat.—Gen. Twiggs, of the Army, who, since the election, sat on a Military Board at Washington, at which Scott presided, told a friend of ours that the old General looked and felt as well as ever. Gen. T. added, that no one could possibly imagine, by the manner and deportment of General Scott, that there had been such a thing as a Presidential election, in which he had been in the least interested.
This is like Scott. He is always greatest in great emergencies and depressing difficulties, before which common men recoil.
