Gen. ScO1I's Autobiography Cor
rected.

New York, Dec. 2.-Gen. Wool publish
es letter in the New York Herald, in
which he states that General Scott,
in his autobiography, has committed
an error in giving an account of
the capture from the British by the Ameri-
can troops, of the Heights Of Queenstown,
Canada, on the morning of Oct. 18th, 1872
and of the death on that occasion of the
English General Brock. Gen. Scott gives
the credit of the capture of the Heights
principally to detachments of the 9th and
23d Infantry, a company of Light Artillery
and some New York militia, naming the
officers by whom they were commanded,
and also states that General Brock received
his mortal wound at the footof the Heights.
General Wool says that he himself, then a
Captain, led the forlorn hope which made
the important conquest, and that it consist
ed of 240 men of the 18th Infantry, one
company under Captain,O Ogilvie and asmall
detachment of Artillery. Only three of the
officers mentioned by General Scott, he
states, took part in that engagement, in
which Captain, now General Wool was Sc
verely wohnded. General Wool also main
tains that General Brock fell on the Heights,
and not at the foot, while endeavoring to
rally his men for the purpose OF recaptur-
ing their lost battery.
