Generals Scot. aud Gaines have both got in,cn
trouble with Secreiasy Marcy! The ma,ser Be-. 1
tween Scott and Marcy is personal; the General
impules 10 the Secretary improper motives in his
course towards Scott. General Gaines has been

the gallant Generui has been acting in violation
of law and contrary 10 express orders: am not
prepared to condemn Gaines; he and Scott have
both done much service. II is Secretary Aarcy's'

indeed with many most distinguished men Of hisi
party in Congress. -
Several members of The House have left 'iorr
their respective homes, in order to join the amy

motives but the propriety Of such course is very,
