ERROR CORRECTED.

We have seen floating through The Wing press
quotation from letter said to have been written
by an officer Of the army, and dated at Corpus
Christi, on the 3lst Oct, ls45 in which The fol-
lowing passages occur:
"Our country, too, not only expected US TO
move 10 fight, and 10 conquer without means, but
il expected all OF his Of US without money and
without, price Part Of the troops here have not
received one cent OF pay for six months, nor
IS there the slightest initiation Of an intention
10 pay them jor The future"
In Yesterdays National lntelligencer, Gen'l
Towson, Paymasler General Of the Army, comes
oul with card, exposing the story as almost a
groundless fabrication. Seventy-fve out of IS
companies, or 3,74l oul Of 3,7s9 individuals have
been fully paid. One company, "E, 4s men,
embarked at Charleston, South Carolina, on
the Goth Of June, four days before muster,
and unavoidably missed the June payment at the
lime ii should have been made; and as the CON-
pany payments are due on the last day OF every
alternate month, commencing with February, OF
course Two months must always be due before a
payment can be made. Having thus missed the
June payment
nThe six months pay were no, due TO this com.
pany until the 3lst OF October the very day on
which this officer writes, and The day following
paymas,ers arrived at Corpus Christi with ample
| funds to pay the whole army, and | have every
reason 10 believe that there is not no,c ono cent
dueto NE troops serving in Tsras, unless it be a
few officers, who prefer TO lei their pay remain un
drawn until they wish 10 use il.
| "Thus il will be seen, but one company out o.
| had 81 months nav dine some Of The
officers of that were paid 10 later dates, and all
might hare been had they ,riSsed H. In fact, unit
the day this officer wrote, tweny-eight of the com
panies had not one cent of pay due, and the day
following list of November) paymasters were OF
the spot ready 10 pay them as soon as the roll!
could be prepared"
In note is appended an extract from Paymas
ter Denny's letter, as follows. 1t is completely
satisfactory:
"Company e. Sd artillery, arrived below tn
city New Orleans) on the 18Th OF july and de
parted for TEXAS on the morning OF The 23d
Lieut.. Bragg did not apply 10 me 10 pay his com
pany; he did not even inform me that II was nc
paid. II he had, or if had known that j, wa
not paid, should most certainly have propose
10 paw Il. l should not have permitted, as ia
as lay in my power, any Of the troops TO go I
Texas unpaid"
So much for this attemp,to prejudice the Gov
eminent in tie eyes Of the enemies OF anncSa
lion

BLOCKADE OF BuENos AYREs. "A letter from

With every desire TO crafty our unknown but
intelligent correspondent "W," we must respect
fully decline the publication Of his last article
We feel satisfied that il will provoke controver-
sy, for which our crowded columns are badly pre-
pared at The present time. Moreover, We are in
clined TO think, that the public mind Is not yet
Iipe for the opinions expressed in "W.'s" commu-
nicalion. However honestly formed may be the
impressions Of those who have seriously exam
ined the subject for themselves, it is evident that
the mass of the community have not had the pro-
per opportunity 10 arrive at The same conclusions.
On the whole, we are convinced, that the publ

the persons intended to be benefited. We throw
on, these suggestions with the kndest feelings.
