DECISION OF TIE COURT OF INQUIRY
IN THE CASE OF GEN. PILLOW
FROM rna NEW ORLEANS pErrA OF August 10.

FROM rHR NEW ORLEANS DLLTA or August 10.
We publish on our first page tho Judgment of
the Court of Inquiry in the case of Gen. Pillow
1t is long and able document, and we think fair
and just one. In relation to the 81 eondas" charge
the General is fully acquitted. This, we believe
is in accordance with the evidence given, which,
although it shows that Gen. Pillow did approve
and uterine n letter almost identical with that OF
"Leonidas," does not connect him with the latter
the publication of which constituted the alleged vio-
lation of the regulations, with sufficient certainty
to sustain that charge.
AS to the charges in relation to the claims of
Cen Pillow TO tho credit of having originated the
plan Of the battle Of Contreras, we find that the
Court fully sustains the views and position which
we have uniformly maintained on that question:
On the very first publication of Gen Pillows des-
patches, and on frequent occasions since, we have
treated this claim so rashIy made and So prcsurnp-
tuousiy pressed utterly unsus.aipable. Perslfer
F. Smith the author, originator, and director
Of the plan Of operations which resulted in that
splendid victory. We are happy to find that the
Court Of Inquiry has yiDdlcated the truth of history
and saved our annals from one gross error among
the thousand that have been put all rat concerning
the exploits Of individuals i'm this war,
The Court has seen through the justification
which has been thrown over the movements at
Contreras. and has shown that whatever merit NAV
belong to Gen Pillow for having. on the 10Th OF
August, ordered Riley, Cadwalader, and Morgan
TO advance upon Valencia camp, is somewhat sui
lied by the fact that he disapproved of the move
nent proposed to be made on the Goth. and at one
time issued order to recall Riley from his posi-
zion and that when he sent Riley, Cadwalader.
and Morgan forward, it was not with any definite
plan of battle"
The successful assault on Padcrna the Court
say, "was executed and planned by Gen. Smith
whose positions and movements were OF his own
conception, and without any specific orders from
any superior officer" The Court, therefore, de-
cidcs that "whllo Gen. Pillow in his report claims
the merit Of having originated the plan Of battle,
the same as that executed by Gen Smith, the said
claim is not sustained by the evidence" The
other charges against Gen. Pillow are considered
as not sustained.

GROSS INJUSTICE.

The first paragraph in the following extract from
letter of Gen. TayIor's has been carefully omitted
by the Democratic Press, thereby placing him in
false attitude, and smothering that very portion
OF the letter which gives life TO the whole By
this garbling, they attempt TO prove that the Cen
cral disclaims Whggery, because he would have
accepted the Baltimore nomination! They take
special care to suppress the conditions! This dis
graceful attempt to deceive, has no doubt afforded
them some relief from the discontinue caused by the
course of Benton and Houston and the Democracy of
the North, on the Oregon bil--and more especially
Mr.. Polk's-the Southern Presidont-strange de-
lection.
On such false representations the Locofoco ora
tors, doubtless, will base many text, and strive to
delude and bamboozle that portion of the people
which does not read for itself A party that has
to resort to such devices for argument, can never
receive the support of the honest and true hearted
