 LITTLE Rock, July g, I847.
 Capt. HuSTER-Su: In a communication of which you are the author, dated at Eamp Encan,ada, Mexico, May II, 1917, and pub Hshed inihe .4,kaasas Bonner, addressed To the People of Arkansas,' we find the follow ing language: s.Cap.. Pike, the knight of the quill, thus leads of in his fasorite strain of self-comnienda:ion--s My squadron was 30 miles off-'this is true, and it is alike true, that the distance was considerable between 1t and the Mexicans on the day of battle e- without the range of gnn-shot--The Capt. states that his men never moles. the property or persons of the Mexicans-Perhaps this may account for the great distance, at all times during the fight, preserved by the squad- ron, hred gun during the whole battle "-- So lar as your controversy with Capt Pike and yourself is concerned, we regard it as personal affair entirely, and wish not to in tersneddle with the issue between him and yourself; but in justice to our friends and our own feelings, we respectfully demand of you. whether or not, the above extract was intended by you as an impu,a.ion upon the coarage or patriotism of the squadron, We anxiously await your response to the above query.
