I 848; Sm: Since I addressed you on the 14m uf December, lhe. lollowing communica tions have been received. viz: your des palchva Nos. 30, 86. 37. 38. and 39; a copy ofthe corresponllencéhetwern your cel! and Commodore Shubrick. his letter of the 16th of November. and yours to re ply, of the 2d of December; and copies of charges and epccificnliona against Major Gen. Pillow.Brevel Major Geo. Wonh. and Brave: Lieul. Col. Dnncnn. 'l'he perusal ol these communications by the President. has lorced upon‘his mind the painful conviction that there exists a state ol things at the headquarters of the army, which is exceedingly detrimental to the public service. and intperiously calls upon him to Inlerpose in such way as will. he sincerely hopes. arrest and put an end to the leads and dissensiooa which there prevail. Alter the fullest consideration of the subject. the President has not been able to give his approval to the course you have adopted towards Brevel Major General Worth; and for reasons-.‘which I will brief ly state, he deters. 100 the present at least. to order a court-martial tor his trial on the charge you have presented against him.— 'l‘he Documents show that Gen. Worth lelt deeply aggrieved by your "general order No. 349.” lmputattons of a very serious character were. by that order. cast upon some of the officers under your im mediate command ; and. from its peculiar phraseology. it was understood by Gener al Worth. or others. as indicating him as one of the officers obnoxious to the severe censure and reproogherein contained.— With this view at t e import and object ol the order. his attempt. by all proper. means. to remove from himsell the igno miny of these imputations, cannot be re garded as an exceptionable course on his part. As the stroke which had. as he thought, deeply Wounded his honor as an officer. and his character as a man. came from your hands. his application for re dress was properly made to you. But as he did not obtain such redress. as he be lieved‘under the circumstances of the case was due to him. he exercised. or attempt ed to exercise, the right ol an appeal to superior authority. It be was actually aggrieved in this matter. or believed him sell to be so. he had an unquestionable right to have the subject brought to the consideration ol his and your common su perior. the President ol the United States. He prepared charges against you, (for his letter ol the 16th of November to the Se cretary ot War can be viewed in no other character.) and endeavored to send them through y't—the only channel he could use. without violating established regula‘ lions—to this common superior. For the matter contained in these charges against yourself. you have made a charge against hlm. forwarded it to the President. and asked lor his trial by a court-martial. ll the course of proceeding which you pro pose in this case is sanctioned and carried out, you cannot but perceive that the pre cedent will be most fatal to the essential rights ol all subordinate oflicera. ll Gen. Worth has been guilty of an oflencc, by preparing and attempting to transmit char ges against you to the President. for wrongs and injuries alleged to have been indicted by you on hitn. it seems to be a necessary consequence. that. whatever may the character of the wrongs and inju riea inflicted upon subordinate oliicers by their superiors. they cannot seek redress by appeal. without being involved in a military offence. Whatever may be the injustice-they sufler. the hope'ol remedy by appeal would be illusory, and the right to appeal valueless. if. by the mere slate oisotol their complaint. whether in the lorm of charges or otherwise. tor the ac tion ola common superior, they would be ‘ liable to be arrested and tried belura any investigation had been made of the truth or tulaity of the matters therein set forth. and even,belore the appeal had reached ‘ the authority which alone could afiord re ‘dress. Such a principal as this would, in 1 its practical operations, subvert justice. and _withhold protection trom subordinate iofiicers. ll General Worth cannot make 1 an appealvto the President on account at ‘your conduct towards him. withontcom mitting a military oli'enCe. and certainly he cannot, il.. the statement at the matter at his complaint is an offence—4t to dim: cult to perceive how any oflicer ot interir or rank can carry an appeal to you. or any other common superior,‘ [or injustice or injustice or injury done to him by anodi cer of higher rank than himsell.

Worth. ' . l l s‘m not aware of the lorce of the con siderstions which may be urged against allowing the unrestricted right to suburdi» ‘ nate officers to make complaints and prev ‘ for charges to a common superior. against ‘ those who have command over them. The 1 right may be abused; it may be resorted i to for the indulgence of malicious pas isions, to produce dissensions in the army. and to impairflhe rightful authorityvof the. commanding‘ofiicer ; but its liability lobe perverted to mischievous purposes isnot a sufficient argumentto prove thalit should not be sustained,or its benefits bedestroy ed by the assumption In the first place. without prool. that the right has not been exercised in gandefatth and with justifia ble motives. and then. upon that’assun’tp tion. to institute proceedings for a milita j ry ofleuce against the ;appealing._ and, it may be. much injured officer. fairly seek ing the redress to which he is entitled.— But this right ofs‘ppeal can rarely or. nev er be abused with impunity. The abuseg ofit is an oli'ence which can and should=-‘ be punished , but it is quite important that the mode of punishing, the abuse should t not be such as to destroy or impair the: right. To illustrate my views by the se ry case under consideration: If it shall appear that General Worth has falsely and knowingly charged you With “maltce' against him." and of ”having acted in o manner unbecoming so olficer and a gen tleman towards him," he has in that com mitted an otl'ence for which he may. and should, be punished; but. before investi |gation, it is no more to be assumedthat ‘yuur charges against him are true. than his against you are so. Both law and us itural justice require that the order of e ‘ vents should be pursued in such cases.-- The charges which he prefers against you ‘ should be first disposed of, before procee dings can be instituted against him for sna lice In preferring those charges. or forpre seoting such as he did not know or be lieveto be well founded. Your charges against him go upon the ground that he is a malicious prosecutor of you. It Is a well established principle that no man“ can be proceeded against as a malicious pros ecutor, while the' salt which is allegedly be malicious. is pending. That must be disposed of before a whim malicious pro secution can be instituted. In this View at the case—and it is the one whice the President has :alteuuthe charges which Gent VVurth has presented i against you must bedispused oi before any : proceedings can be had on; that which you ‘ have presented against him, - } f’l‘hough you have not stated that Gen. i Worth is under arrest on your charge a 'gsinst htmyyet it is believed he is. An order will, theretore. be sent with this communication for his discharge from it. Considering the nature and multiplicity of the matters embraced in the chutes preferred against Major General Pillow and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Duncan, especially the former. (some of Which are hardly consistent with your chial' re ports and conimendations.) the great dim culty, not to saw impracticsbility. ofa's lsemhling. at this time. a general court- Imartial of otiicers not connected with the transactions to be investigated. of such rank as the law requires for the trial ofa 'tllljul‘ general ; and the serious detriment iwhuch the public interest must unavoida bly suiler by'svithdrawing. at the present icrwis. for so long a time as the trislzwill be likely to last. from their important [commands and staff duties. so many gear eral edition to constitute the court. the President feels compelled, by a high sense of duty. to prefer proceeding by avéourt of inquiry. Such a courtcaribe-oi‘giuh zed with much less danger ofa strerifi‘ce‘jto the public interest than a general court martial ; it can much better accommodate its proceedings to the exigenciés of the service, and will. it is almost certain. much abridge the labors ufa court-martial. if one should become necessary. Anulh« er advantage of proceeding in the first iti~ stance by a court of inquiry. is. that other matters. not embraced in the charges .re [sting to the same. and other ofiice’rs.‘ may be properly submitted to its investig'h'tioh at any time duringnils session.
