can was placed under arrest, aud subsequently
t'en Pillow was arrested, aud nen Gen, Worth.
The North Amr rioan is Of opinion that Gen fll-
low was not arrested on account Of the "Iconi-
dls' letter, but M the following grounds
There has been another arrest, that Of Gen.
Pillow, one Of the chiefs afofcnamcd, bat not, as
appears, on account Of the cttrfs Of which hc -
the hero We hear. generally, that the cause WIS
finding 0f court Of inquiry, which finding hns
been approved by Gen. Scott, addressed paper
relating 10 the matter to the Secretary Of War,
through the commander n.chei, preserving a
copy which hc ayowcd in letter accompanying,
he sent lor would send directly 10 tle Sscroiargaf
Washington. This transaction is Judged 10 be
contempt aud for the 30 judged contempt Gen.
| Pillow is arrested. Not understanding the teoh-
nicaltics Of the We are not advised whether
part of or the whole transaction is regarded as the
contempt-but that is immatrrisl.
Gen. Wohh's arrest is thus noticed IN the North
American Of the 26th ull;
The last arrest occurred yesterday-thai Of
Brcvct Maj Gen. Worth, aud the charge is, we
believe contempt towards the der.in.ohief

moi purpose to lengthen this article by any re-
marks upon this proceeding
