The Mexicans were not so discriminating.

They sometimes picked off my juniors.
General Scott soon followed the troops into the city, in state.

I wonder that he was not fired upon, but I believe he was not; at all events he was not hurt.

He took quarters at first in the "Halls of the Montezumas," and from there issued his wise and discreet orders for the government of a conquered city, and for suppressing the hostile acts of liberated convicts already spoken of--orders which challenge the respect of all who study them.

Lawlessness was soon suppressed, and the City of Mexico settled down into a quiet, law-abiding place.
