THE pEEEOST DU@sN ESs.
City OF MEXICO. Oct 20, 1877.

The "Leonias" letter confines 10 be
the subject Of remark and speculation
Gen. Pillow has denied all knowledge of
the !etter or its author. and SAYS distinctly
that he had no hand in the precious docu-
menl bu. at the same time he does not
provoke inquiry into the matter. If ii
could be brought before court you would
read some rich ,estimony-teatimony
which would prove that the substance of
the letter, personal encounter and all. was
the common talk at Mlxcoac three weeks
or month before il returned TO ibis place
in print. As it is, an much mistaken
if voa do not ere long read letters in some
Of our Journals at home that will cause a
sensation and open the eyes efine people
TO their utmost width.
Let me ask one or two quoetions. How
is il tina, Generals Quitman, Shields and
Smith. all appointed about the same time
with Gen. Pillow, get along smoothly, to
use hoInely phrase. willis, he. Pillow,
is eiernalIy involving himself in difficult
ties How is il that the frs, mentioned
officers are popular with The entire army
and country, and that their conduct has
been made the subject Of public and gem
eraI approval, whilst the reputation OF the
latter is but equivocal even among lis
best friends, and he has lest all cast with
nine-renjh. Of The army ifnot the country!
How Is il that Generals Pierce and Cad
wallader have won the good opinions of
all. whils! The great Gen. Pillow has made
himself as it were the lauY hinc-stock of
the army? repeat, why j. ali this ? Il
Is because the latter has the vanity to be-
Iiove himself great and NEST astounding
military genius and the impudence TO
trumpet his own exploits Il Is because he
has grasping ambition and dishonest
one--an ambition which diligently seek
ell 10 build reputation for himself even
a, the expense Of others il is, because he
has had he ehrontry, time and again, 10
poster not only his own officers bat edi-
tors with stories Of his proves. and with
bold requests that they might assist IL
spreading his deeds before the world in
shori, i! Is because he has restless ami
fevsrish desire and craving after all the
h0nora o. campaign which has shaii
such lust:c upon our arms, with the n
sugierable weakness 10 believe tia, he is
deserving Of :hem. must acknowledge
that for one thought that the man was
used a lille harshIy for his condue. in the
Cerro Gordo business, but his antics here
in the face of the army have done away
with all favorable and mitigating impress
ions. will now close by repeating that
you will see letters in some Of our papers

The editor Of the cleveland Plaindeal-
er Loco writing from Washington, says
that he recently made personal applica-
ton for Post Office printing, and had a
talk with Mr.. Cave Johnson, which he
thus reports:
'Jndge my surprise when his august
Majesty Informed Us tina; the Plaindealer
was Wilmot proviso paper-ihal he had
jus, received copy Of il sent 10 him by
the Postmaster at Cleveland. in which he
found an article marked &. e. black lines

strong grounds in favor OF that doctrine"
the editor argued the mater with Mr.
Johnson and then retired. few days
afterwards he called and desired 20 know
his Majesly's decision. MIR. Johnson in
formed him that no decision had been
made, but he expected a communication
from the editor in writing, to be put on
file, defining more precisely his position
on The WiImot Prcviso. The editor did
not comply with The terms and did not

CONSUMPTION.

This terrible disease is commonly attributed
to our climate. But, if the climate were to
blame, the disease would have been inflicted on
that, and not upon the people. We think the
fault is in the people, and that if the people
would keep the skins of themselves and their
children properly washed, and abstain from
gluttony, poison, and idleness for generation
ortwo, consumption would be no more known,
than is now, in good society, the disease for
which scratching and sulphur are the princi-
pal remedies.
However, consumption prevails as matters
are, and picks off the best and prettiest Of us,
in our prime. In this state Of things we must
do tie best we can, piece out and patch out
the web Of life, with journeys, voyages, and
medicines. OF all the medicines we know of,
DR.. Wistars "Balsam of Wild Cherry" is what
we should first recommend. We have in our
office living proof of its efficacy, who, but tor
it, would have been beneath the sod long ago.
The inventor of this medicine, DR.. Wistar,
was a man of science of humanity, and I'M
doubtedly prepared the remedy in its best
form, and the public may rely upon MIR. Fowle

otype, Jan. IS, 1S47.
