New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1862-12-04
The Mcdowell Court Of Inquiry.
Only 80 of the Minnesota Sayagcs 10 be Hung
Special Dispatch to The n Y. Tribune.

The reflections upon the conduct and capacity Of
Gen. Sgel, contained in the letter OF Gen. Pope 70
Gen. Halleck, published in connection with the 70.
port of the latter in todays TRIBUNE, 80 direct
that Gen. Sige will undoubtedly demand Official in.
yestigation into the charges. Gen. Pope will bs
called on to sustain or retract Lie imputations.
The friends Of Gen. Sigel are confident that they
can be traced to personal dislike or professional
jealousy on the part of Gen. Pope. In connection
with these charges will also DO investigated tho
private aspersious of Gen. Pope upon the military
character Of Gen. Sigsl, which it is known the
former has frequently uttered but which have only
recently been brought to the attention Of Gen. Sige
The entire omission of honorable mention Of Gen.
Sgel ia Gen. Popes printed defense Of his cam
psign, was generally noticed at the time that docu
nent was published. The friends of Gen. Sigel,
and the public who were aware of his brilliant
vices, were not then aware why they wers not
acknowledged.
They are now glad of the opportunity aiiordedby
this publication to bring to light all the circum-
stances Of the relations between Gen. Sgel and Gen.
Pope, while the latter was in command IN Virginia.
Much Of that history is yet unknown to the public.
PROBABLE RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY SMITH.
There is little doubt that Secretary Smith will,
before the close Of tie month, resign bis seat In the
Cabinet, for the purpose Of accepting an appoint
meut as Judge OF tie U. S. District Court Ia ace Of
Judge Huntington, deceased. His successor not
yet determined Hon. Schuyler Coiiax declines %
leave Congress. Ia the opinion Of vei-.niornea
persons there is no probability chat the new Seere-
tary will lie taken from Illinois. Ii Indiana falls 70
ret.in seat in the Cabinet, one will probably DO
rendered 10 Hon. Joseph Holt Of KY, who Is kno VI
to stand very high in the Presidents estimation.
