 We cannot bat admire the cunning displayed by our neighbor of the Dsaserat, m evadIng the real issne brought about by cuf remarks. prefacing Capt Hunters letter One would suppose frora his article in reply that we bad charged him with an attack upon the whole regiment. when we only modesily alluded 10 hs eenrse by saying that we had sTefased time after time to publish eOmmuni- cations insulting or offensive to those doing battle for our country and had fofborne to publish until this tine even statements properly defensive. which contained remarks ofA personal character. While oar columns wili sustain us in this assertion, our neighbers have parsaed different course"

 seqacmi to thc eirciion of Col Yell 10 he
 command of the .9rkansas Regimeni: | A communication published in his paper, of the i4th August last complaining of Col Tells treat ment of the Washington O.. volunteers, says; q regard Gov. Yell as man in whose word, promises, or assurances of any kind, no confidence can be placed! l say this from no motive of personal hostility to the sub ject of these remarks, but simply because il IS truth and can be proved.
 Every man was convinced, that Gov. Yell had come from the seat of government with masked yisage, and forked tongue! What. sir, would you define such language is the following to be: I will take you in as a spy company-i have the authority from the Pre- sident of the United S,ates"--and, directly after, I cannot take you, sir, have not the power' would define it. and so would com mon sense define il to be: A naked, plain, and wilul lie.
 "Old Washington county has learnt les son now. which she will not soon forget and the State of Arkansas herself. should know of this single, mean, miserable act of Gov. Yell. in order to damn him forever! D ] .sEx.ract of letter tn the editor. from an officer of the Arkansas regiment, dated Mon cIova, Mexico, Nov. g, l846:
 aAs for our officers, Yell has lost caste tre- mendousiy. He is not the military man he was thought to be at home. In fact, he makes a worse Colonel, than he does politician, by 1 far, and is now the most unpopular man in the regiment He started on this expedition J for popularity. But he has missed it, and never will he be able 10 kick again. in Arr kansas. All our other officers nave sustain ed themselves, and at least hold their own" We can frd columns of such stuff in the Demo- crai both editorial and by correspondents, but we have neither the time or temper to compile them our readers, moreover generally, must recollect them We hope, however, the extracts given above will 1 fully sustain our assertion.
 As to our cotemporary of the Ga-eiis, his stric- lures upon the regiment, ard his ndis- erect publications, with regard to of the off cers. so frequent, that we deem it unnecessary to trouble our readers with single extract
