GEN. ScorT.-We have received the following COM
muncaton from friend Of General Scott and insert
act of justice due that distinguished officer
"W We have read with regret statement in the Cou-
rer and Enquirer of yesterday, purportng TO give the
views and opinions of General Scott in regard to his
future movements; and also complaining that the
government had not fulfilled its in furnish
ing the requisite supplies.
1--WE cannot but hope that the of the infor-
nation was not what 1t purpOrts to be-the command
er-n-chief of the army in Mexico; and we must be-
lieve that the author of the letter had authority
from General Scott to make the statements he did,
'Subordnation constituted authority has ever
been the leading principle in the conduct of General
Scott He has placed the civil above the militia
ry authority of the country and now, when in dis
tant command, he would not, are sure, tarnish a
life rendered memorable by brilliant achievements
by authorizing publications In regard to his future
operations, by complaining Of and taking ground
against the government at home, which he represents
in the presence of the enemy.''-NeW York Tribune
