GA letter from Washington to the Philadelphia
Ledger, under date of Feb 9, contains the following
paragraph:
Already Gen. Santa Anna, whom the Southern mail
which arrived this evening suffers to be assassnated,
has fallen hack from San Luis Poos to Mexico, and
there is little doubt that the of carrying on
the war are rapidly failing in Mexico. Santa Anna
inclined toward peace, but such is the bgoty and
natural natcism Of the people, that nothing short of
an overwhelming catastrophe, such taking Vera
Cruz blowing up the castle and marching the cap
ital will permit Santa Anna to treat with Santa
Anna brags, not 10 as, but TO the Mexicans He can
talk to them other language, and would risk his
head were he to speak his heart 1t is strange that
this position should have been overlooked by Mr.. Cal
honn; and it is evident that notwithstanding the
wonderful of his great mind he is not suf
iciently "booked up" in Mexico to give his final
award

O5rThe author of the following communication Is
very well known by the people of this ciyand county
We presume no will question the honesty of his
intentions or his general veracity.
MEssRs. CHAPMANs g. SPANN: Gents Il have Just
returned home from the encampment of our boys on
the Rio Grande. My opinion of the climate of the
country has often been asked and my reply invariably
is that it is certainly The most beautiful climate,
far relates bodily comfort and convenience, in
the world; and to go now at this of the year
it is healthy as any place, and more than the
climate Of Indiana. To one who becomes acclimated
there cannot be healthier country In the worldfor
he never would be sick.
But my principal object in writing you this COM
munication for the purpose of contradictng GER
tain statements relative to Paris c. Cunning, while
in the army, acting in the capacity of sutler; and
make the statements that do make upon the honor Of
an old soldier.
To my knowledge, so far as have personal know
ledge, Mr.. DunnIng never took advantage of the
necessities of the soldier--he charged,
while attached TO the regiment, with extortlon; but
on the contrary, it was well known that if articles
be bad at reasonable rates, the soldier should
90 TO Dunning himself, and then article could be
had at fair price. Every confidence was placed In
Mr.. Dunning by all and there not popu-
lar man in the three regiments Hewas kind and aten-
tive physician to the sick, and would send tie
for articles, and frequently charge nothing for
them at alias for instance, potatoes. There was
not much whiskey sold, and then it was by stealth
only at rsand when it lawful to sell it, before
the general orders to in the traffic. Mr.. Dunnng
charged low as possible. But it be recollected
that nothing can be sold in Mexico as cheap IN
this State for the of the high price of trans
poration-the risks of forfeiture losshigh rates
of insurance, and the absence of competition.
Those charges of extorton against MIR. Dunning
were gotten up by those who did not understand
themselves did it designedly for the purpose of
effect in the past canvass and should not be believed
by any one; for feel and know well that they are
utterly false.
All editors throughout the State avoring truth and
that justice may be done to worthy individual, will
please this communication in their papers, and
much oblige Yours, truly,
PETER WINCHELL.
