 The Chargrs against Gen Pillow, sHi< defence.
 We attended to have gwen to oui readers, the letter from Col Haskell, and others, assaing the military reputation of Gen. Pillow, together with his reply, but find them loo long for this weeks pa per. As the attack however, has been circulated
  iaterest, we sil relate as briefly as possible wbai we gather from the two documents. In the plan ol attack at the battle of Cero Gorlo the stormns of two batteries. known by the U. & Engineers as No. ! and 2. was assigned to Gen Pillows brigade.-- Aiter Teeonnoitering in person the eEemys works for four days, accompanied by the engineers whose duty alone twas to perform that periIous service, the point selected by the General for assault, was astone wall, covered with brush running from one battery 10 the other. about 500 yards, which was supposed to form an angie fthe enemys woIks and the most vulnerable part. At the imminent risk of kspessonai safety. he made the closest possible reeoanoisanees for the purpose of obtaining correct Information or their strength. He was frequently kred apon by the picqnets, and Col Johnson one of the Engineers was shot through the body twice. while with him on this service. fl proves however that the very point selected for attack the weak est. was instead of ga stone breast work covered wifli brush" battery of ten pieces so completely Inasqued as 10 defy detection until it opened upon fbem.
 For this successful de gucrre of the enemy which the utmost vigilance and daring had previous y failed to expose, Gen. P, is charged by Col Haskell, with objectionable ignorance of the ene- inys strength of position. Yet it is admitted that at the solicitation of Gen. F., Col. Haskell himself aeeompanyed the reconnotering party, and the re. suit proved that he could see no further through stone wall than any one else. The orders of Gen. Scott were 10 attack them in front and in the as- saait, Haskeils regiment supported by Campbells was to attack the ieft of the angie Wynkoops sap- ported by Roberts the left, and in the disposition of the Regiments by the General. Col. Haskell complains of an order, directing him. 'to rest Ais Tigh on s rgh of te pah, ertendtng Ais len square ot 10 e . So as o form h,s line of battie parallel sclfa hs centre ieh tcork cf e eaemy" because the ranks ofhis command were by this maneuvre rereys. ed, 'the front rank becoming the rear and the yrght of the regiment its ietl."
 To the Arrangement resulting from the order, Col. Haskell impates the confusion which ensued wheE his regiment forced to retlre, under the lire from the battery. We arc unable to say, what this order might convey in military rariance, but it seems to us very psaln, and common sense would teach when ordered to form ''iine of battle for the purpose of storming strongly fortified height that no reverse of position could be required In speaking of this Gen. P.. remarks that the order stated which il is said he did give would when executed place the regiment in proper form for the assault. lie remarks of Col. Haskell, in aliuding to this singular construction put on the order;
 gro suppose him so ignorant of the principles ol military science. would show him utterly unfit for the eommand oT regiment; and yei we are forced fo Mis conclusion, or to the belief that he was so much Perfas6sd by seassbiity, that he did not know his right wing from his left, his rear rank from his froat defy himself any of his Giends to extricate him from this dilemma It would be entirely immaterial by which flank he maiched.
 The reply throughout is noi less remarkable for the plain and forcbie manner in which the charges are reflted, than it's gslIing severity towards inc thor of them.
