GEN. SGOTT
IN THE CITY. OF
EIICOM
Quarrel bettoeen Santa A as
Comlis.
There is news k the city from the ciiy
of Mfco. as tale a Jalv 17th It came
through by a Mexican Courier who Mine
by tha way of Orizsba and Alvaradc lo
Vera Cruz. Gen Scott efriered Mexico
en (he 17th of July. He met with no op
position on his way from Poebla antil he
arrived at Peaoo about S miles i the
cy. Here a slight skirmish tawed be-
tween his advance and the Mexicans when
ihe latter fell baefc The Oil Autbotities
then came out to meet Gen Scott. Stipula-
twns were enter ed into by which the persons
and Droperty of the citizen of Mexico were
to be respecled ; this accomplished oar ar
my marched quietly into the city of the
Montr zumas.
This important newt reached here in the
Masfochoaeiu bat has been withheld for
purposes that we do not understand. Toe
authority upon which we publrrh it seems
to us usCoafeied. The courier thit brought
this news could come Irora the city of Mex
ico via Orizaba to Vera Cruz in Sre days
if the weather is good seven under any
circumstances Tbo Aiaasachossiu left Ve-
ra Cruz on tbe 23d. It will be perceived
that Ibis allows seven days lor the newt to
reach Vera Cruz by the route ive have
staled.
Santa Anna aod Canaiza had quarrefed
about the defence of the city. Canarzo did
do: want tbe chy ii.jured as there was bo
hope oi successful reitsunc. He preferred
.to meet our troops on the plain and there
decide the conte-rt. Santa Anna wouM not
Agree to taif so no oppesrtioa was made.
Tbe entrance of Gen. Sees into Mexico is
a rumor; -Jroin the fetter of tbe 15ih we
knotc snuifrrey of Ihe preparation of the lam-
ilict m tbe city to more on the approach of
Gen. Scott and of tbe quarrel between Santa
Anita and Canahso as to the defence of tbe
cky.
Tbe courier that buoght through tbe
letter et the lth brought tbe news of Gen.
Scon's entering tbe city. TT'e haye no
doubt of the troth of the report.

CAPTAIN PIKE'S LETTEU.
At icw Orleans on my way heme from
Mexico I saw for tbe first time the letter af
Capt. Hunter pub'ished in tbe Banner of the
21st uk Btlore then I as t3oraot that
it had best written.
I supfsaaid that te would.befured this time
hive recalled krerytbrng contained in it of
ensrve so or rejecting on me tnasrnocb u
he sobacBaently to wiiuin;; h after u'king
Httn ate m regard ta the matter spo.en oTra
it. and witlrsm ray ruakiag tbe slightest coo-
ce;ton ta respect to whet 1 had written about
it agreed la the entry upoa the record of a
court of Inquiry thst all mailers in dispute
between myself nad the Regiment were
orakaWy settled. He has not done so and
tbe necessity devolves on me of anc a enog m
His Utter was obviously wriuen in s pas-
sion.aad he accordtngly states his auspicioas
as facts. Like all men ia a passion be did
"Traesreigb what be was writing.
It is wholly Hit rue that Gen Taylor waa
in tbe least degree infloeoced by me in issu-
ing the order spoken of When the killing
of tbe I 'eon? took place I was at l'aloinas
at least tfir'y ruiies rrtni Gn Taylor and
never saw tii.n until lli-day be-fore toe battle
Ing after my le'ter was wri ten I never
"exchanged a word Kith Geo. 'fay lor about
the matter nor vroicta him or com nun ica
ttd with htm dirtel'. v or indirtcliy about the
matter. In fact until after sny Utter was
written I never recnttenrd the oia'.tcr rxcerx
jo my own command.

to inquire irde the matter. I nevt.
aw iaeir
iSl a
RroceediasB. and m laet never bean i
coart bad afet at all ooul 1 saw bis leuer
Bat I have sioca ltained more aboat n
Capt Hosstersays they found that only four
' were killed. It is very lt'.ely thai Aey eoxld
( procure evidence that aay sre were
Jailed because they could nut get before
them as wittirsses those who perpetrated tha
deed and could consequently rind out bit lit
ileabmnit But Capt. H-iater knew per
fectly well that tbe number killed was much
larger for ti told ate kimtelf some 10 da; a
af.er hu letter waa written that I bad made
a mistake as to tbe nuicher; and that only
secenletK ane killed.
Hit reference to iu coart ot Inquiry was
-exceedingly vnfortunate. Did it exoaerats
the meat If sc why net publish the find
mg? Wbeii we lalkid over the metier I
loii him that whether Gen Taylors order
was correct or not m fact h was bound to
be considered so unless he took steps to have
ihe matter set aught; and that as the order
spoke of lie perpetrators a i:nply "a por-
tion of ihe Arkansas Cavalry" be could not
itame m: for cleartog my men of the charge.
He said that he could not set fouh ail tbe
fceu without expert tho persons concern
ed. I told him then that if be chose to let
the order stand uncontradicted it was hu
orn hull aad no nit)'. Now if hu ver-
sion is correct the men were juttiJiaMe and
therecouH be no cxyture about v't Why
have the names of the actors been so stndt
oasly concealed why did he even allow his
Vhole company to be inarched to the tear m
disgrace rather tiun give ap ibe natai-gif
thev were tustiniDii s
Now Capt. Hunter well knows th t the
court of Inquiry did aef justify the men. On
the contrary sj lam informed (aad it will
ta remembered that I have bo personal
ImnwIedFO of the matter) and that by Jat.
. . . .. r .i.
AicVicar u.uartermaacr tjrigraui u. .
Regtroent air. Peacock one of the witnes-
ses swore to the killing of ooe man who was
on his knees unarmrd.holdiog up bis bands
and begftng for hu life. Wuat the court
i-r-nllw fnnra! T do rwit know but after the
court vxu over ad its finding telurntd lo
Gen. 7yforho issued his order calling it a
cew&TiUy murder. Of course therefore it
did not exonerate tbeperi. Of coutse I say
! because if It hdthai order would not havo
been issued aud also because if it bad Capt
Hnnlcr n ould have publtthed the fact.
The rejfion of Ibe mailer given by Capt j
Hunter never wsis oeliered by any bed f that
I know ot I leara tbal-an IHrnois ofBeerjW a
publication in -a St. Laais par vs the
eamc account ibal i did and states that he
lerfeied to pm a stop to the Wlinz. X iw
days after ft happened one 'of the men can.
cerncd in i: was sent to me sin teamster. It
was upon hit statements that I wrote my lat
ter. I never spoke to him about it bat tbe
man said his account was that (bey found the
poor wretches unarmed and drove them up
I in a huddle like sheep and shot them down.
Ittaeact wasjustinaoie why lias net tb
stain been removed from the RegirotnUby a
court of Inquiry? When the two companies
were ordered to the tear in disgrace all be-
ing punishrd lor the act of a few why did not
Opt. Hunter demand u court ol inquiry aou
prove bis version to be Hue. If it trae
the men deserve prake and not censure
The reason was that it was not true and wa
so proven before the ormer court
I wish to be understood at I said before
that all mv statements were made on tofur-
maiion and all I bave said abovt is on iafor
roeiion.ar.d not on any personal knowledge.
Gen Taylor's order; the universal belief of
tbe camp and the statements of one of the
actors warranted me in staling what I did.
I have still no doubt that every word u
true. If not and Capt. Hunter will prove
it by stateroom of men of veracity who know
something about it I shall b as f lad as he
nr any one else to see this reproach wiped
off But L shall not change my belief for
hit assertions simply becauta he hat na
personal knowledge of the outlier.
Capt Hunter states that as sooa as Gen.
Tavler got awav from my iofluence he re-

trators were net exposed. The r started and

believe; end were allotted to return from It at

ded at all. H was not on'.! lonir after mv let
ter was wrhtra: end whea I wrote it was to
full force.
Moreover I do not believe that the o.Jt-r
ecer was resetaded at all. 'lhe subtcqwnt
order sending the compaabs in disgrace it
the rear was revoked bat no order ever was
issued that I know of restoring the compa-
nies to their ongiaal stamliog. or acknowl-
edging that the killing was justifiable anJ the
first order unjust. If such an order had is-
sued it n ould hare been sent to me.
Capt. Hunter ineinuates that through
cowardice my command uas kept dunng
the battle bejond range of shot. As tfaia
charge affects not me but Colonel May on
dar whose orders I was placed I might de-
cline to answer tU But I shall simply say
that it is totally Uhje both as to the fict snd
tbe insinuated reason tarly m the Jorenoon
