sstance. Gen. Worth, in the conflict lost 500
men. Gen. Scott in all his arrangements has
endeavored TO preserve the lives Of hisrroops.
This loss inceused him, and he called Worth
TO account for it. If mistake not, Gen. Pillow
had some agency in the disObedence; and hence
the arrest Of these military commanders. 1t has
been stated that letters, charged to have been
written be them, were the origin OF it. Doubt,
less they were, but an after part and not the pre-
