he would be perfectly satisfied with any order or rule that might be adopted by the court in that particular ; but as some remarks be might have to make would particularly refer to lieut col duncan he desired that that officer above all others should be present he also wished to be informed by the court whether any officer separate from himself maj gen pillow and lieut col duncan were embraced in the order read by the judge advocate as accused parti s gen s did not have the slightest desire to embarrass or retard the proceedings of the court ; he said it would materially en lighten his path in the course he should deem proper to pursue if he could be in formed of the impression of the court in that particular the court wishing time for delibera tion the room was cleared for the space of half an hour and upon being re-open ed the following decision was rendered : that the conduct of maj gen pil low and brevet lieut col duncan will under the order be iartstigated as far as their conduct is involved in the charges preferred against them by major general scott and also the court will examine in to the merits of the complaint of brevet major gen worth against major gen scott ;

that he entered the service by virtue of a law which in case of peace would require his immediate departure and that if his defence were put off it might be extended to a longer period than he would wish to remain in his present position ; he hoped the court would not proceed with the case of col duncan the court ordered that the case of gen scott should be deferred until the following day and decided to go on with the case of col duncan thereupon gen scott proceeded to make two charges : " 1st — a violation of the army regula tions which prohibit the publication of letters or despatches not published by au thority relating to military operations " 2d — some facts asserted by col dun can in tbe letter and the answer of that officer to the charges " having concluded gen scott with drew bis accusations against col duncan and did the same with regard to general pillow but this general stated he would notwithstanding reply to the accusation made by gen scott that he had liberated an officer placed under arrest by general scott previous to his having been tried being lately in lhe room of mr curlee the very gentlemanly and talented daguerotypiat and landscape painter we heard him tell some lour or five persons present how hard it waa to draw some of the inferior animals there'a a horse for instance said he " is about as hard to draw properly as almost anything you can mention " pooh !" said one of the lookeri-on it's nol half so hard to draw as the capital prize in a lottery a man being asked how old he was replied i " i am in health ;" and being asked how rich he i was said " i am not in debt
