Brlton doubtless congratulated himself on his prow-
ess when he had captured the remnant of the i'll

nations will regard the transaction in quite another

Indignation the whole proceeding from its insolent
commencement to its bloody close. No words are
adequate to express the feelings which must excite
every generous heart at the recital of this latest

THE CHARGES AGAINST GEN HARNEY. The " ash
ington correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune says:
Some charges have been preferred against Cen
| IdTneyJ Dy subordinate 01ncerS, grounds of be-
haV0r on his part unbecoming an officer, etc. But
what OF his course is obnoxious to the accusation of
"abuso of authority" is doubtless founded on a
| serious charge by Gen. Scott. 1t seems that the
| British Minister demanded the removal of Gen.
Harvey from his command in Washington Terrific
ry, for the alleged reason that he had violated the
| arrangements entered into by Gen. Scott and Gov
Douglas concerning the Island of San Juan thereby
! restoring Capt. Pickett to command, and by again
| putting IN operation the United States territorial
laws. Gen. Scott impeaches Gen. Harney by stat
ing in substance, that having had no confidence in
MS disposition to carry out said arrangements with
| hdelity and courtesy, he suggested to Gen Harney
before leaving the Pacific Coast, the adyisabty
OF his takiag some other command, adding that the
British Government would doubtless ask his re-
moval from the one he then held. Gen. Harvey re-
jected the advice, stating that he should not aban-
| don position in which he had been placed by the
President. The above charge of Gen. Scott having
| very recently come to the knowledge of Gen. Har-
ney, he has made defence by letter to the Secreta-
ry of War. lie states as it is sad that he was not
made acquainted with the arrangements entered
| into by Gen. Scott and Gov. Douglas He removed
| the captain who, under order of Gen. Scott, had
| been assigned the command of the United States
company on the Island of San Juan because of his
furnishing and banishing persons who had been
quilted of crime by the legal authorities He also
defends himself from the other charge of Gen.
Scott, to wit the restoring of the United States
territorial law to force and effect upon the Island.
PALMER's COLOSSAL STATUE OF WAsHINGToN-
| During the past eighteen months MIR. Z. d. Pal
can sculptors, has been engaged at intervals upon

study of onetenth the size of the statue ITSELF by
an unerring scale, is to be fitted to the part on
which it is to rest, while the ground, and before
any part is raised to its piace.-N Y. World.
