A correspondent of the Tribune gives an explabfttion why MeClellun did not report to Gen. Scott, of whic-h fm:t bo gre; t a handle has been made agninst the latter by bis villifiers. Tha correspondent nays : Miiny persons are disappointed in barning that Gen Scott will not pub lisfa an explanan n cf bis complaints against Gen. McClellan to the Secre} try of War, whioh was, by tha culi oí Mr. Stevens, of Penn., on the Sefie" taryof War, published and read in the llousu Of lleprusentativts. Many ast why was tho letter oailed for. There was discusión on the subject, and thev aak what it wasintended to show by it Tbareby hungg a talo.

Gun Sjott will not publish anything. He knows the reason why Gen. McCleHan did not report his plans to liim, and Gen. Scott wil not stir up a matter t'iut would be oí no advantage to ene of' his family who is a trititor living opon a g ivernment which he basely betrays.
