Letter from Gen. Scott called for.
There is significance, not tat first apparent,
in Mr.. Wilmot's resolution, which was
adopted In the Senate, calling on the secre-
tary Of War for copy Of letter written to
him By Gen: Scott, Oct. 4, 1861. This letter
will show that Gen. Mcclellan treated Gen.
Scott with personal disrespect while the lat
ter Was Commander-in- Ghetto such IN ex-
tent that court martial would have been de-
manded, but for fear Of injury which the
consequent 1eyulsious would do the cause in
showing insubordination In an officer Of such
rank. It also shows Gen. SCOTS determine
ton to resign his position as soon as Gen.
Halleck should have arrived from California,
to aid the Government with his counsels and
influence. =.

Court Martial Of Gen. Franklin.
Another Court Martial is looming up Ut Wash
Ington, and the object Of it, in this case, is to
be Gen: franklin, one Of the Mcclellan clan. It
will embrace his failure to reinforce Pope at
Centeryillc, during the Fltz John treason: 1t
will further embrace his remarkable refusal
to march to the relief Of Harpcrs Ferry,
though at seven miles distance for twenty-
four hours, with positive orders In bis pocket;
and It will likewise embrace his still more in
cxplicable conduct at Fredericksburg
after 1t. At Fredericksburg, franklin was en-
trusted with the main movement on the left.
He had forty thousand Of his oWn men aud
Burnside gave him, in addition, the two best
divisions which had belonged to Hooker. His
orders were to attack win his whole force
and be sure to penetrate the encmy's lines
and fall upon his rear, and this diversion
would have enabled Sumner to surely break
these orders, Franklin made the IT.

under Meade, aud when the latter had gal
lant]y driven the enemy for mile and half,
.Franklin-in the true Mcclellan and Fitz John
Porter line OF tactics-refused. tt send him

Of our brave youth we're uselcssly slaughtered
in endcayoring to break through tie massed
forces Of the enemy. We arc Informed that
General Burnside, than whom more hon
orable man never lived, attributes the loss
Of this bitter battle, entirely to Frank
Inns ~wilfnl disobedicnce Of orders.
Another Of the complaints which Burnside
makes against Franklin is, that when he had
his next battle planned, Gen. franklin sent
Generals Newton and John Cochranc, up to
Washington, to denounce It's method, and
have it .countcrmandcd By the President
This We know from independent evidence to
hare been the fact, and we also know, that
these parties first called On Seward,
laid before him their information
md intentions, and through him, on
this showing, obtained access to the
President. Burnside insists that If be had not
been inte1fered with by the counter orders Of
the President, which were thus obtained, he
would have made himself master Of the Con
fcderatc camp. We think that the action Of
Seward and franklin in the premises, is rong
evidence in favor Of that probability 1t IS
thought that there can be but ono result to
this couTt-martial Of Franklin. After that we
shall hope to see trial Of McClcllan.-HWks's
Spirit.

Rebel Reports FrOm Charleston, sc.
FoRrREss MONROE, Feb. 4. -Richnond
papers of the I'd and Sd contain accounts from
Charleston already published.
RrcuMoNp, Jan. 3l.-The secretary of state
has notified the British and French consuls in
this city that he has received notice of the
opening of the blockade off Charleston. We
also learn, says the editor, that steamer was
dispatched from Charleston to Nassau, con-
veying to the British authorities the same an
nouncement. 1t is understood that an official
notice having been given at the opening of the
blockade, it cannot be renewed by the enemy
until sixty days previous notice has been CIV
en- to neutral maritime governments. A
Richmond paper of the Sd says, the Yankee
iron clad New Ironsides is lying in the offing
near Charleston bar.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 5.-Strange to say the
Richmond Examiner of the Sd, makes no
sort of reference to the great rebel victory
and raising of the blockade off Charleston,
but simply makes this announcement; The
New Ironsides is off Charleston.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 2.-The British ship
Cadmus touched off Charleston bar this noon.
An officer with a boats crew came up to the
city, passing by the Yankee iron-clad lying in
the ofting.
SAVANNAH, Feb. l.-During the attack on
fort McAllister, this morning, the flag staff of
the iron clad was shot away. She was an
chored within thousand yards of the fort
She retired, evidently injured, as she did not
reply to the shots from the fort while retiring
The parapet in front of one of the guns Of the
fort was entirely demolished. The men re-
NAMED firm. About three o'clock this after
noon an iron clad and gunboat approached
within two miles of Thunderbolt battery
dipped her flag, fired two shots, and retired
The Thunderbolt battery is three miles south
of the city. Two gunboats came up to st.
Mary's on Monday last. One of them went
up the river and set fire to houses on several
plantations. Capt Harrison's company of
cavalry fired on them, when they hauled out
of range of the small arms and shelled furi-
ously. Another boat was landing men at st.
Mary's on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The belief of the
government is that the details of the Charles
ton affair are grossly misstated, and that the
result is of trifling consequence, except for
any moral effect it may produce.
Hon. p. II. Watson has been confirmed as
assistant secretary Of war.
Eleven hundred convalescents have been
sent to the army of the Potomac within the
last three days. Over two thousand are now
ready to be dispatched from the conval escent
camp.
The annual report of the commissioner of
patents shows that Sl53,SlS were received for
patents, reissues, &C., and ST., 08l for copies
and recording. The expenses were $lS2,S00.
The cost for clerk hire was upwards of Sl22.-
900, of which $44, 462 were for temporary
clerks.
The fall in gold as compared with last
weeks prices, and the recent appreciation Of
public stocks, are hailed here as evincing the
confident anticipation of moneyed men that
the national free-banking bill, and general
financial measures of secretary Chase will
become laws, check the currency initiation,
and influence the public credit. The currency
panic is likely to be succeeded by panic
against the gold spectators.
