The attention of certain... officers of this

As yet but two echoes from home of
the brilliant operations of our aims in this
basin have reached u; the first in a New

It require not a little charity to believe
4halth principal heroes of the scandalous
letter alluded to did not write them or es
pecially procure them to be written, and
the intelligent can be st no less in conjec
turing the aarhdi chiefs, partizaus and

the disease put iency of fame not earned
cannot have seized upon half a dozen offi

False credit may, no doubt, be obtained
at. home, by sufeh despicable self-puffliiigs
and malignant exclusion of other j but at
tbe expense of the just esteem and con

The letter alluded to by Gen. Seolt as
"ihe echoes from home" eviiently the
MLeoiiidas'rJeltr, and tbe oihor letter
which appeared first in the Puts
burg Post, wa thence transferred to the
Union, and the whole then appeared in

aw first the letter. Upon the publicat on
ot tietieral Hcott orders, given above.
Lieut Col. Duncan came out promptly in

frank avowal ol his connection- WMlifHtie

To the Editor of the North American
Sirs I here with present a codv of
the "Tampico letter," characterized as
"scinduluur," -despicable," "malignant,'
Sue., in general orders No. 310, published
in tne American stsroftms morning.
To the end that the true character of
this letter may be known, I desire that you
republish it in your paper; and that none
of my brother officers may innocently
suffer Irom a publication so obnoxious, 1
hereby publicly acknowledge myself to be
its author. The substance of it I communi
cated from Tacubaya soon slier the battles,
in a private letter to a friend , in , Pitts
burgh.
The statements in the tetter are known
by very many officer of this army to be
true, and I eaonnt think that the publication
ofetruth is less likely to do violence to indi
viduals pjr the service .than, the luppresston
or perversion of it.
Justice to General Worth, (who is evi
dently one of the "hemes" pointed alia
order No. 343,) requires mo to state that he
knew nothing whatever of my purpose to
write the letter in qu-stion, nor that it had
been written till wetl on its way to its
domination; be never saw, nor did , he
know, directly or indirectly, even the pur
Eortof one line, word or syllable of it till

After the publication of ibis letter. Col.
Duncan was pUctd under arres, & subse
quently Gen Pillow asarrealcd and
next den. Worth. TheNmth. American
i of opinion that General Pillow wa' not
arrested on account 6f the "Loonida but
on the following grounds:
iter us r,een another arrest, that ot
Gen. Pillow, one of the chiefs aforenamed,
but not, as appears, on areount of the let
ters uf which he is the hero. We hear,
generally, that the cauae was this: Gen.
Pillow, hating -taken execrftroh to the
finding of a court of inquiry, which finding
baa oeen approved by Uen, acott, address
ed a paper relating to the matter to thu
Secretary War, through the commander'
in-clnet. preserving a ropy wbich he now
ed in a letter accompanying fit had tent
(or would send) directly to the Secretary
at ffathington. This transaction is judged
to be a contempt,' and for ihe so judged
contempt Gen. Pillow ia arrested. Not
understanding the technicalities of lire cae
we are not advised whether part of or tbe
whole tram action is Tegarded ns the con
tempt but that is immaterial.
Geneial Worth's arrest is thus noticed
in the Norttt Ameilcart of the48lh ult it 7
The latest arrest occurted yeterdy
that of Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth, and "the
charge is, we believe, contempt toward
the Commander-in chief. Without a full
