GENERALS SCOTT AND WORTH.

New York paper has the following from.
Washington correspondent: 6 Official intelligence
has come, 1 understand, of the arrest of General
Worth by General Scott The difficulty is believed
to have arisen out of the issue by the commanding
general, of the general ord9r against letterwriting
It appeared to be the general impression of the officers
of the army in Mexico, that General Worth was al
luded to as of the vain, conceted, and envous
heroes General Worth addressed very respectful
note to General Scott, asking frank avowal from
him, whether he must consider himself obnoxious to
the reproof conveyed in that order. General Scott
evaded direct reply, but answered the note. Gen
eral Worth respectfully repeated the request. To
this second note General Scott declined giving
specific answer and informed his correspondent that
he could not hold himself responsible for the neren
might please the officers to draw from his phrase
oIogy. Gen. Worth thereupon drew up statement of
the entire correspondence between the commanderin
chief and himself and addressed it to the Secretary
of War, with remarks of his to the injustice
with which he had been treated, and assuring the
Secretary that but for his regard for the public
service, he should file charges against General Scott
This statement directed appeal to the Secretary
of War. he runseaed to General Scott, request
ing him transmit it to Washington. General Scott
refused forward the request of General w orth,
but forthwith put General w. under arrests and re-
ported him to the War Department for insolence to
his superior officer, &C., and to sustain the charges,
transmits the statement drawn up by Gen. Worth.
This is the gist of the controversy as have It from
good authority. cannot undertake, of course, to
give the exact language of documents that have
never seem. No doubt the papers will be called for
by Congress- and then the truth will out 1t is SUR
missed that the government may recall Scott.
