TERRIBLE MASSACRE OF WHITES AT MARTI-
N1auE.-We learn by the arrival of the ship Eu-
rope, Capt Mercier from the st. Thomas, on the
oath May, that massacre of the white inhabitants
of Martinique took place. At st, Pierre several
houses had been burned, and in one of them thirty
persons were consumed. Every thing there was in
the most dreadful confusion. The troops from Fort
Royal were called upon but refused to act, and
treated to their quarters. Every road and avenue
leading to St Pierre was crowded with blacks,
coming in to the assistance of their brethren
Many dreadful scenes had occurred. Capt. Mer-
cier states that his informant had barely time, in
company with six others, to get on board of ves-
sci, leaving all he had behind, before the house in
which they lived set fire, and sentres placed
was supposed to be general all over the island of
St Thomas.

GEN. ScoTT.-The New York Post has been as
sured on good authority, that the statement con.
corning Gen. Scott, which has appeared in several
newspapers-namely, that he has been ordered to
Frederick, on account of charges against him of a
more severe nature than those which now engage
the Court Of Inquiry, is altogether erroneous. Gen
Scott was notified to appear at Frederick, to con-
tinue the prosecution of the inquiry against Gen.
Pillow, and this is the sole purpose of his repairing
to that place.

Court of Inquiry.

FREDERICK, Nd, June 6, lS4S-The Court met
at o'clock; all the members present; hall crowd
ed. After some remarks by Gems. Scott and Pillow
respecting the Introduction of dispositions, Gen.
Pillow rose and read a paper stating that, as the
prosecution had endeavored to impeach the testi-
mony of Maj Burns, by introducing evidence to
prove, by Lieut.. Clark, that he (the Major had
been witness ON trial at Pueba, he (the defend
anti had procured a copy of the record from the
War Department, showing that Maj. Burns had not
been witness that trial. In order that the
character of Maj Burns might be placed fairly be-
lore the Court, the defendant would present list
OF witnesses, desiring that they might be summoned
to give full information.
Gen. Scott objected, and the Court said it would
take Gen. Pillows paper into consideration
Gen. Quitman was then called and examined,
relative to the conference of the llth of September
Gen. Scott had then expressed himself favorably to
the attack on Chapuepec, and Gen. Pillow seemed
to favor the San Antonio route.
The examination of this witness had not con.
cuded up to the time the cars left.
ExPLANAToRY.-Gen. Commander of South Car
DINA has written a letter to the Winyah Observer
explaining his course in the Baltimore Convention
He denies that he claimed to represent the whole
State; but says that it was the understanding that
if there were no other delegate from South Caro-
lima present, he should cast the vote Of the State.
