Generals Scott end JGckson.--The public have
not at this late day to be informed that serious
misunderstanding has for considerable time ex-
isted between the abovenamed officers. The
origin of this difficulty has beel very generally and
correctly imputed to the famous orde- issued by
Gen. jackson, early Ia 1917, forbidding all Off
GERS of the army within his military district, to
obey any order of the general government, unless
The same should be geceiued through ham. Or in
other words, that no officer of his district should
obey the supreme authority OF the and unless
approped and sanctioned oy hin. But although
this has been the general belief ofthe public, yet
the circumstances attending the affair, and the
manner, In winch Gen. Scott has been drawn into
it, have been until quite recently very impertectly
understood.
In common with those of his fellow citizens who
are yet unwilling surrender their liberties at the
feet of military despot, Gen. ). saw the DANCE
rous tendency of the aforesaid order, and the
injurious effects it was calculated 10 have upon
the public service, should the government pas
power. Gen. =. also DOUBTLESS perceived in it
another evidence of that spirit of characterization
and disregard for his superiors, and for his gov
eminent, which Gen. bad manifested on former
occasions, and which has shoue so conspicuousiy
Ia his military transactions Of a later date. He
therefore with CHARACTERISTIC irankness did not
hesitate on proper occasions, to avow his disap
probation OF the measure.
publication mas recently been made by Gen.
S. which contains full statement of the differ
ences between himself and Jackson, togeth
with the correspondence upon the subject which
has passed between them. From this publication
it appears that in June, 1917, Gen. Scott was
dining with a select party at a private house il
the city OF New York. among whom was Gover-
nor Clinton. The order IN question became the
topic Of conversation, particularly between the
General and Governor G. The Governor gave
it as his opinion that the order was mutinous
and Gen. 5. feeling himself called upon Tor his o.
pmion, avowed himself ofthe same pellet This
conversation prodaced an anonymous letter which
was sent from New York to General jackson,
detailing part of the conversation at the dinner
inclosing scraps cut out OF newspa
per, in a manner tnat led the latter to believe
Gen. Scott the author OF them. Any other high
minded man would alike nave desplsed and dis
regarded, both the letter aud " scraps, and one
the same. But on the contrary, he took it might
lily in dudgeon-enclosed copy OF it to Gen.
Scotland demanded an explanation. Gen. ;.
complied; and in a very gentlemanly manner,
stated In a letter to Gen. jackson the whole con-
versation ---the opinion he had advanced-and
his illustrations. This letter produced a haugh-
ty and lnsolent communication from Gen. jack
SON, as unmanly, undignifed and indecent as bis
famous letter to Governor Rabun, of Georgia.
Hurried away by his passions, and the impetuos-
ity of his temper, he poured upon Gen. ,. every
epithet IN the vocabulary of a modern bully, and
ended by giving the latter a challenge. Gems.
throughout the whole affair, manifested an unu-
sual degree OF frankness and good humour and
in his reply to the last me ntIoned letter, though
his s. bitter pleasantly must have proved biting
as caustic to the hero of Pensacola, yet to his
everlasting honor, he nodestly declined accept
ing the challenge. This resolution ofGen.S SCOTS,
we regard as one of the most honorable and hero
ic acts of his lile. Ihe abomlnable practice OF
dueliing can never be justified upon any Pnnci-
pie, or under any circumstances, though gentle
men of :. liberal habits of thinking apd acting"
may think otherwise. Yet even these gentle
men of fhonor,"we believe can discover no reason
why Gen. 5. should condescend TO meet the MUIR
derer, tor consider every person killed IN
duel as murdered, particularly where the cir
cumstances are abhorent and barbarous as
were those attending the bloody affair to which
we now allude,) of Dickson. No one doubts the
courage of Gen. jackson and as for Gen. Scott,
the plains OF Chippewa and Bridgewater bear
ample testimony, not only to his personal brave
ry, but to his skill and superior generalship. Up
on this point, We will quote few words from the
remarks of Gen. Scott upon the challenge sent
him by Gen Jackson !:
