len. Scott and Worth.

We stated. short time since. that we
thought that the Government would make the
troubles existing between Generals Scott and
Worth an excuse for the recall Of the former,
and the app ointment of some tool of its own;
and since that hints have been thrown out by
the Administration papers which STRENGTHEN US
in our opinion. But just so sure as the gov
eminent does do it, just so sure will the cur.
rent of public sympathy turn in favor of the
hero of Chippeway, and the President will
rue the day that he attempted to sacrifice him
at the shrine of party.
As to the merits of the controversy between
meagre reports we have received, but if these
be true, if Court of Inquiry has already de-
cided tina: Gen. Worth has exceeded his all
thorit, and exercised power that belonged to
the COMMANDMENT Chief, it viii be hard work
to create sympathy for him in the country
and array the people on his eide and against
Gen. Scott, especially when it is considered
that Gen Scott took Worth from the ranks.
and has been his best friend and patron for
years. It would not look well for Worth. ex-
oept for IA very severe provocation, to enter in
to a contest with the man to whom he owes
his all to turn, like Berthier and Augereau.
aud hcl hunt down the man who gave him
the chance to win place and renown, who, in
fact, gaze him place. and but for whom he
might. perhaps have lived and d,ec nothing
hut private, or at most sergeant. Not the
whole force of the Administration, its pen
stoned presses, which are evidently preparing
to make general attack on the old veteran.
nor such Jack Falstaffs as Pillow, nor even
men of as much military talent as Worth, can
put down Gen. Scott, especially if he is borne
out, as we are inclined to think he is, by the
rules that govern the army, and when Court
Of Inquiry have d c,ded that his chief oppo-
nent has himself been guilty of highly i'm
proper conduct.
