A Court of Enquiry &dote&
Correspondence of the North Arnerican.
ASIIINGTON, Jail. 11.
The President has this day ordered a
Court of Inquiry for the purpose of in
vestigating the charges against Gen.
Pillow and Col. Duncan, which have
been preferred by Gen. Scott. After
that investigaion has terminated, the
Court is further directed to inquire in- ,
to the charges preferred against Gen.
Scott by Gen. Worth. The charges
against Gen. Worth, submitted by the ,
commanding General, have been dis-1
Inksed by the President.
The Court is directed to assemble at
Perote, at as early a day as the mem
berg can convene. ft is to consist of
Gen. Towson, Paymaster General, as
President, and Gen. Cushing, tend Gen.
Butler, of Louisiana. Gen. Towson
will start far Mexico on Monday:
The selection of Gen. TowsOn is an
anomaly in Court martinis, and will
doubtless lead to difficulty. His office,
Paymaster General, is a civil one, which
Might be confered upon any individual
in private life, and he holds no rank in
the regular line of the army.
The command of the army in Mexico
will necessarily devolve on Gen. Butler,
of Kentucky, he being the officer next
in rank to Gcn. Scott, whose presence
will be required at the Court of Inquiry.
The idea of recalling Scott has been
abandoned for the present, but it may
be renewed. INDEPENDENT.
