Atler each had spoken and given his reasons Scott ended the council by saying: "Gentlemen, we will first storm Chapul tepee, then look tt> the city gates on the west side." Chapnltepec was stormed and won and the city fell without any defense of its gates worthy the name. Tt ia interesting to contrast the ages of Uil distinguished leaders in the eivil frar.

Then Col. E?ver*H ot tlio Ninth, a gray beard who had fought in that regiment under Grant ! as far back as 1862, took command of the victorious line.
