Gen. Twiggs, late of the U. S. Army, has addressed a letter to ex-President Buchanan, in which he says:

‘ "Your usurped right to dismiss me from the army might be acquiesced in; but you had no right to brand me as a traitor. This was personal, and I shall treat it as such, not through the papers, but in person. I shall, most assuredly, pay a visit to Lancaster for the sole purpose of a personal interview with you.--So, sir, prepare yourself. I am well assured that public opinion will sanction any course I may take with you."

Gen. Twiggs,
