--A correspondent of the New York
Tribune states, circumstantially, that
McClellan's reason for not reporting his plans, &c., to
Scott was, that he had discovered that
Scott's office was not a safe place to report to; that he had found out that
Scott's son-in-law,
Col. Henry L. Scott, had exposed them to the
Confederates; that the latter, on being summoned to the
White House, confessed it, and, instead of being punished, was placed on the retired list, with the pay and emoluments of
Colonel of cavalry, and immediately went to
Europe, where he is doing all he son for secession.
All this the correspondent says, is the reason why
Gen. Scott will not publish anything.
