The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, telegraphs that bitter controversy
is going on between the Secretary of War, and
Gen. Scott in regard to the six months leave of
absence granted by the latter to Gen. Hitchcock
The Secretary countermanded Gen. SCOTS per-
mission, at the same time, demanding his reason
for granting. Gen. Scott responded bv stating
that he was not responsible to the Secretary, in
such cases. for his actions, and he would hereaf
ter oblige him by addressing all official commune
cations to him through the President, to whom
he alone was responsible.
The correspondence is not yet closed. 1t will
undoubtedly be communicated to the Senate. Ac
the opening of the session if not, ii. will be
called for by special resolution. -
