Statement:-
"General Gaines commands the western depart

has not been annexed to it. Gen. Gaines there
fore, has no military authority in Texas.
"But besides, General Taylor was specially
assigned by the government to command in Texas.
and General Gaines specially informed Of the fact
and told, IN substance, to let General TAYLOR con-
duct his operations in his own way. And i. NAV.
be added, that the result has been crsditable In
the sagacity of the administration, as General
Taylor has shown himself nobly fitted for the
station.
Besides the force he took with him, General
Taylor was authorised to call upon the governors
OF Texas, of Alabama, of Louisiana, and Mssis
spp, for any additional force he might deem
necessary; aud Of this authority General Gaines
was fully informed by the War Department. and
when General Taylor thought he required more
force, he called upon the governors of Louisiana
and Texas for what he needed, being four reoi-
ments from each. He did not call upon the gov
errors of Alabama or Mississippi. This force was
sent to General Taylor, but before it reached him
he had defeated the enemy, and almost annihila-
ted his army.
Genral Gaines knowing the power of General
Taylor, and knowing, too, that that general had
called for all the force he wanted, ordered 12. 900
additional men to be raised and to be, sent to him
General Gaines, therefore, undertook oratui,ous
ly to determine that he, the distance of almost
900 miles, knew what General TAYLOR wanted
better than he knew it himself And he did THE

GEN. SCOTT

we regret that we have not room, TO publish
the correspondence between the Secretary OF War
and Gen. Scott, relative to the appointment: of the
latter to the chief command of the army, now be-
ing formed to join that already in Mexico.
The President was determined from the COM
mencement of the war, to give the command TO
Gen. Scott. The Secretary of War cheerfulIy
agreed to the selection. Gen. Scott was called
into consultation to devise the best plan for prose-
cutting the war. 1t was desired he should repair
as soon as possible to the camp. The President
IN his message 10 the Senate, says -" NV COM
r munlcatons with Gen. Scott, assigning him the
command. were verbal, first through the Score.
tary of War, and afterwards in person. No
written order was deemed to be necessary. Gen.
Scott assented TO assume the command" Instead
of promptly complying. he not only delayed his
movements, but ascribed the Impotence of the
Executive to motives of hostility, which would
have only subjected them to the severest censure
: What would have been Gen. Scott course. had
one OF his subaltern officers received orders from
him TO repair to particular place and take
charge OF company of men to repel an enemy,
and he should refuse to go. delay his departure,
him court martialled and cashiered. No one
can censure the President and Secretary of War.
for the course they have pursued toward Gen..
Scott. Gen. jackson would have put him under
immediate arrest for "disobedence of orders.''
And what has the President done2 In consid-
Grafton of the high services of Gen. Scott in the
last war with Great Britain, he has permitted him
to remain at Washington, in commandment to
the President, of the whole American army

advancement to the Presidency. that he has no, SUI
