The FAMOUS GrN. PLLow.--The st. Louis
Republican has correspondent in the city of Mexi-
co, from whose interesting letters we should make
large extracts If our space permitted. In one Of
his latest we find the following statement in regard
to General Pillow-the pet of the Administration
and the favorite of its friends:
The official report Of the General-in- Chief of the
battles of Chapuepec and before the gates Of Beem
and San Cosmo of this city, has not as yet been
prepared. He has experienced great embarrassment
from the wild, extrayagant and untrue statement
made by Gen. Pillow in his report Both his Con-
treras and Chaputopoc reports returned to him
by the General Chief, with Instructions to correct
them, and If am not misinformed, with severity
oflanguage that would have made the cheeks of any
other man in the army burn with shame. regret
TO be compelled to mention Gen: Pillows name
for II Is always connected with some transaction
dsgrnceful to the army and the service In which
he Is engaged ; and the only way I can account for
his low, grovelling course, is, an apprehension that
his nomination may be rejected by the Senate, and
TO save himself no is striving TO manufacture mill
tary reputation that ne never had and never can
enjoy"

are some punpkins.' We have no doubt Of the fact
and, since they have witnessed the exploits Of our
Cabinet in the conduct of the war, we have no doubt
also, that they will begin to think the Administra-

has called upon the people to hold public meetings 10
