Gen. Duncan L. Clinch, the hero of With lacnoehec, was sworn as a witness on the pnit of General Scott. His examination commenced on ihe22d of December. The! following question among others was pro pounded to him hy the Court ; What were the causes, in your opin ion, that prevented the subjection of the hostile Seminole in the campaign con ducted by Maj. Gen. Scott, in Florida, in IS361" The answer was: j " In reply to that question I am com r , pelled to state, lhat 1 am of opinion that he failures ot, and the disaster attending the operations in Florida, were mainlv lo a i - ' ' - be attributed to the want of energy and military forecast in the late head of the War Department, Gen. Cass, and in failing to order a large mililaiy forre, and a greater quantity of military supplies, c, in the country in 1835, and early in the vear I83G.
