Generals. Scot, and Gaines.

We appropriate columns almost exclusively
this morning to the Message Of the President and
portion of the accompany Documents commu-
nicated to the Senate on Monday last, in reply to
a call of that body for information relative to the
appointment of the former to the command Of the
army of invasion and the subsequent withdrawal
of that appointment and to the conduct of the
latter in raising troops for the EeScan war with
out authority from the President.
That portion of the Documents published this
morning, refers to Gent SCOTS case. We have
had time to give the correspondence only hasty
reading. and, as well from that circumstance as
because of our restricted space, we submit 1t to
the reader without comment.
We shall, possible, make room for
that portion of the Documents bearing upon Gen.
Gaines. In the MEANWHILE we beg leave 10 say
TO the Enquirer, that in our remarks, day or
two ago. in relation 10 the conduct of that officer
we said nothing in his defence in which, strange
ms it may seem, that paper does not itself concur.
We defended, not his acts, for we expressly stated
that we believed he had transcribed his powers,
but his patriotism and pure intentions" which
the Enquirer admits are questioned by no one.
But ii says we "vehemently belabored Mr.. Polk
for recalling him General Gaines) from his com.
mand." In this, the Enquirer is mistaken; and
We cannot conceive how il has fallen into SO
strange misapprehension of our remarks. We
censared Mr.. Polk for assigning to junior in
rank an Independent command within the limits
of military division which he had placed under
the control Of Gen. Gaines; and so far from "be.
laboring" Mr.. Polk for removing General Gaines
now, said, that if the unmilitary and insulting
course pursued towards him by rendering Junior
officer wholly Independent of him and directly
responsible to the War Department, grew out of
want of confidence in the Generals judgment
and discretion, he ought to have been removed
from his command long ago, and another placed in
the position to whom might safely have been con-
fded the delicate and responsible trust. MrSevier
of Arkansas friend OF the Administration, takes
similar view of the indignity to Gen. Gaines of
sending Gen. Taylor into his division, and at the
same time rendering him wholly Independent of
his commanding officer.
There are, however, some other points of view
in which the course Of the Administration, in con-
nection with Gen. Gainess assumption of autho.
Tity, should be brought prominently to the notice
Of the public; but we have not now space to no.
lice them.
