GENERAL PILLow.-Whatevcr may be said Of

tempt to vlndcate his veracity Ii will be romem-
hered that ie" weeks since he addressed n letter
TO friend in New Orleans, in which he declared,

nor inierlined, nor had any thing TO do with the
famous "l-eonidas" le;tcr-and there appeared in
the papers al the same time letter from Mai A.

IN the army, who always ready 10 say or to
swear 10 any thing which will tickle the ears OF
Power,) avowing himself its author, and cxonera-
ting Gen Pillow from all participation in that Nun
chausen production. 1t now appears, from tile evi-
dence, before the Court of Inquiry, of Mr. Freaner
(beter known as ".Mustang,'' the correspondent, Of
the New Orleans Dea,) that the unseaed manu-
script OF letter, substantially the same as that
signed "Le"nidas," with nerlineations in Pillows
own hand writing and addressed TO the Delta. was
handed 10 him, TO be forwarded to the Della for
publication, by Pillow himself, who stated to him
that he ''wShed 1t sent Off so as TO glue The first
nmprcSSionS!" He afterwards wished to withdraw
the document from Freaner, who refused to part
with il!
And this is Mr. Folks pet-the valiant and re-
nowned General whom he released from The arrest
under which he had been placed by Scott, while at
the same time he suspended Scott hmserfrom the
