Ger. Scotia Arrest

The little Scott penny whistle organs, and the small
fry stump orators talk great deal about Gen. Scott
being arrested in Mexico and brought home in chains,

battles before the city Of Mexico unfortunate quarrel
occurred between Gen Scott and several of his subord
nate officers growing out Of rival jealousy, Gen. Scott
arrested Gems Worth and Pillow and Col. Duncan In
turn Gen. Worth preferred charges against Gen. Scott
The documents to sustain these charges iie in
the War Department. The trial could take place in
Mexico, and besides it would have had bad effect in
an enemy's country. Gen. Scott superseded by
Gen. Butler and he and the other officers which he had
ordered under arrest returned home. Gen Scott
ing bis sword but Pillow, Worth, and Duncan were de-
prived Of theirs. Gen. Scott however, suspended
from command during the administration of Mr. Adams.
The cause of that arrest was his refusal obey the
orders Of Gen. MacOmb, the commanderinchef of the
army as be was sworn do In support of this
ton append the following letter from the Secretary
Of War:
