At the cou- clusion, General Scott spoke nearly as below “Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Committee from Richmond, Feilow Citizens, and Brother Officers—of whom I seo around me many who have shared in the dangers, the perils and distinctions of that glorious army in Mexico, that it was my pride and happiness to command—I have, my friends, lately returned to my native land, froma country endowed with fertility of soil, mineral riches, and great resources of wealth, but which has been cursed by bad goverament and mierule.

Scott then introduced several of officers preseut to the Richmond delegation. “This,” said “is the gatiant Gen.

We are in receipt of some additional items of interest from Santa Cruz de Rosales, the scene of the late vic- tory by the / viean forces under the command of Gen.

It would seem that after tho capture of the town, a volunteer by the name of Ferguson—Phil Furguson—the well known printer in these patts by that name, and late editor of the Miners’ Prospect—diseovered an old printing press and material, and, to keep his hand in, went to work ts distribute bulletins in Spanish, about the war, Among other “ copy,”” he some how or other wot possession of Col.

Preswent Any Gextuewes or THe Count—The ¢ ami ignorant of what the witness may chance to know on niject; but heard, afer ho left that country, that he had auch knowledge of that character derived from tie late gallaut Col, Raneom, ‘That officer's declaration on the mubject in question, may, I not doubt, be given in evidenee, in an inquity of this elariete nud I respectfully subuit tue point tw the of the Cow WINFIELD 8 3 The Court decided that the witness might state his personal knowledge, or what he heard Col. Ransom speak from his, Col. Ransom’s, personal knowledge. A.—I intended to say that I had no personal know- ledge on that subject ; and I do not recollect having heard anything of an’ assemblage of officers, such as as that referred to from the late Col. Ransom. Q.—What, if anything. passid between the witness and the late Col, Ransom, relating to any meeting of officers or friends of Major Gen, Pillow, at the instance of the latter, for the purpose of preparing one or more articles for the press at homo, respecting military ope- rations in which the said Pillow had been engaged. or respecting overtures, fora like purpose, made by the said Pillow to the said Ransom ? A.—Soon after the arrival of the army at Mixc probably between the 2lst and 30th of August, Col Ransom called at my quarters and informed me that Gen. Pillow had drawn up an account of the operations of the 19th and 20th, and stated that he had read it to him, (Col. Ransom.) and dosired that he would sign it and procure to it the signatures of other officers. ‘That he declined, on the ground that some of the facts stated in the paper, from the position which he oecupied on those two days, were not within his personal knowledgo. He named what the paper contained in several particn- lars to me, but it would be impossible for me to state them after this lapse of time, with any degree of accu. racy. I never saw the paper. Q.—If|tve witness cannot state with fullness all tho points enumerated by Col. Ransom, from the stato. mont drawn up by Major Gen. Pillow, will the witness please give some of them, and also look at the papers numbered by this Court, one and throe, and say if tho points the witness remembers Col. Ransom to have mentioned, are found in one or both of those papers ? A.—I perceive in paper marked No. 1, this sentence: “Tn the course of the action he shot a Mexican officer, and killed him with his pistol.’ 1 remember the sub: stance of that sentence was mentioned by Col. Ransom as being in the paper, and ag one which, from his posi- tion, he could not know. I see no other fact that I could now testify to us mentioned by Col. Ransow. Q —Did the witness learn from Col, Ransom that the paper presented to the Intter by Maj. Gen. Pillow. was intended for officers’ signatures and for the public press at home? Av There was nothing suid in regard to its publica- tion Q.—What did the witness leara, if anything, from Col. Ransom, as to the object or purpose of the’ paper handed tothe latter by Maj. Gen. Pillow for signa- tures? A.—I do not think that Colonel Ransom stated any purposes Maj. n, Twiees requested to add to a former an- fwer to a question in respeet to errors in his official equally de- which hap- report and the possibility of his having a; fective memory in relation to oecurrence: pened nine monthr since, as follows: — My official report of the battle of made from jaformation derived from m my division, as weil as what J, myself, witnessed.

Cadwalader’s movements, | got from Gen, Smith, for I was on the opposite side of the Pedregal from Generals Smith and Cadwalader, and know nothing of it myself. Question by the Prosecutor.—It being wot and dark, may not a conversation havo transpired. in the night of August 19. between Major General Pillow and Cap- tain Taylor, near the battery of tho latter, beyond the hearing of the witness? And state the relative positions and distance of tho parties at the time. A.—It is impossible for me to say whether any con- versation passed betweon them or hot, and also impos- sible to ray what were tho poritions of the parties Gen, Scort, having applied that certain witnesses be summoned by the Judge Advocate to testify ax to the publi-ation of certain letters written to the heads of bureaus by certain officers of the general staff in Mexico, Gen, Pittow, read the following:— lit, Brocient and Gentlemen of te c , jor | Pillow, respostfully to oppose the tation of Mejor Gonefah feovt, to have the ghiefs oF the Burecax of the D ent of War suinmoned, for the reason— First—That the prosecutor says he wishes to prove hy them that private and unofieial letters of different members of his #taff, furor five in number, written and published inthe nowse Papers, in violation of the ‘army mente, and authorized to be t—The defendant, ions, were official docs by those chiefs, Thove as {f produced, nelthor on excuse or exten my of officers of the staff = pnd ‘ ngly do- oad tor which he has de. % ‘Tue proof is, therefore, uation (much le. nounce! i nounced Paymaster Burns + of dishonored, Independent of these legal ‘srounda’ of ‘opposition to this appli- cation, (which, under ordinary eireumstances, I would have no hesitation in Waiving) the court must perceive that the effect of summoning these Witherses now, uust necessarily be to prolong this investigation toa period when by operation of law, the de- fence will be out of the service, and thus pat au end to this in- vestigation without finally disposing of the caso, and thus work- st injustice Lo ‘the accused. ‘The defend rosecutor Would intentionally take a step to » but he inust nevertheless wee that such will, itty, be the case. ays A50 Mp) wiliesses om J.
