The Peace Rumor--Tbe Recall OF Gen. -coti
The Fremont Court Martial, &c.
Correspondence Of The Tribune.

WlsHISeTes, Jan. Is, ISIS.
Rumors Of Peace thicken. Three times have
heard. to-day, that courier had arrived bearing
Treaty of Peace, but there is nothing definite
enough to be relied on. We have had so many ru'
mors Of Peace, followed by appeals for vigorous
prosecution of the wal" that am AFRAID TO trus'
any of them But We shall soon know
In the Senate today, Mr. CAss, in reply to qaes-
tons by Mr. CRITTEsDEN said that Gen. SCOTT
was suspended, that Gen. WORTH was relieved
from arrest and that Gen. BUTLER OF Kentucky,
WAS in command These facts told you week
ago. Ii is said, however that the Administration
have etter from Gen. ScoTT, in which he himself
asks to be recalled probably In a moment OF ex
element that they only took him at his word and
that after the Wings have abused the Admns'ra-
ton for recalling him, they will come out with his
letter, showing that it was his own request
No matter upon what pretence they put 1t, the re
call of Gen. ScoTT is an outrage. Gen. BUTLER,
some three wears ago, was the Loco candidate for
Governor of Kentucky. When Polk came on TO
be ineugurated, he brought Mr.. BUTLER with HIM
from Louisville, without giving him time to get any
baggage except a couple OF shirts, under the pre-
tenco of making him Secretary of War. la this
Mr. Polk broke his word; but now rewards Gen
BUTLER for all former disappolntments.
