GEN. GAlNEs.--We learn by letters
from Washington that the President
has directed Gen. Gaines to be bro't
before Court of ENQUIRY. The Gen.
it is said protested against a Court OF
Enquiry as being unfair and contrary
to the spirit Of the 92d article of War,
which is in these words: "Courts OF
Enquiry may be perverted TO dishono-
rable purposes, and may be consider
ed as enquiries of distinction to mill
tary merit, in the hands of weak and
envions commandants; they are there,
fore prohibited unless directed by the
President or demanded by the ac.
cused." Gen. Gaines desired to be
tried by Court Martial in the camp of
Gen. Taylor, where witnesses are.
But the request was declined with an
assurance that measures would be ta-
ken to ensure a fair and impartial in.
ves'igatlon.


The President we understand has
received the General with great kind
ness.--Jefersonian.
