VOL. III. So NO. 16O.

A.-As before stated, our meeting was a
| friendly and an accidental one; it was pre-
| vious to the arrest of Gen. Pillow.
Q.-Haye you seen any other copy of the
I.eonidas letter than that published in the n.
.. Picayune and subsequently copied from
that paper into the Star and North American
in this city, and was that the letter alluded to
by Major Burns:
Al do not recollect having seen any other
copy, and this was the letter referred to by
me.
Cues. By Gen. Scot.-Was or was not the
denial OF the authorship of the letter in ques-
ton general, or did Paymaster Burns DENY the
authorship of the Leonidas letter in whole or
in part.
Ale denied the authorship of the whole
OF it, in the language before stated. He made
no exceptions. The examination here closed,
and the court adjourned.
Lieut.. Davis, fourteenth infantry, sworn for
the prosecution.
Question: the witness ever heard Pay
master Burns make any declaration with re-
gard to the authorship of a certain letter sign
ed Leonidass and, if so, state what the de-
claration was, and the time and place!
Al happened to meet Major Burns short
ly after the publication of the Leonidas letter,
in the city of Mexico, and after some CONVEX
sation with him, he inquired of me whether 1
had found out the writer of the Leonidas let
ter. l answered, had not I asded him
whether he knew. He said he did not. That
was the only conversation ever had with him
on the subject.
The northern tribune. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1847-1855, 1848-05-01
The Court Of Inquiry.

We give below part of the testimony that
convicts Paymaster Burns OF lying. Burns is
rabid Loco, and was appointed to the place
he now fills since the war broke out. There
is no doubt but that he has lied, and very little,
in our mind, that Pillow has hired him to do
it.
Capt. Merrill called and seorn for the prose-
cution.
Q-Has the witness ever heard Paymaster
Burns, previous to the meeting of this court
make any declaration concerning the author
ship of certain letter signed Leonidas; and
if so, state what declaration he made, and at
what timer
Al have heard him, and it was about the
middle of October, at the time when the Leon
idas letter was creating such excitement here.
[ heard that he was the author of it, and by
accident happened to be in his house. The
subject of the Leonidas letter arose. l do
not recollect who introduced the subject !;
when l remarked, believe in the words -
HMaior, do you know that you are accused of
writing that letter p He answered NO."
and asked by whom. replied "by every
body;" he said, "this is mistake l did not
write it." believe l then added, "Well, you
are accused of it"
The subject here dropped, and I believed
from that time that he did not write it, and on
all subsequent occasions, and in presence OF
the officers of my own regiment as also many
other persons in this city, on hearing that he
was accused of being the author OF it, at
once refuted the assertion, and remarked that
he was not the author of it, that l had his
positive statement to the contrary. also be-
iieyed that he did not write it until heard he
had written and acknowledged its authorship.
Cross examined By detence.-Q.-Was the
conversation in which Major Burns denied
the authorship of the Leonidas letter casual
conversation, or did you go to his private room
for the purpose of ascertaining the authorship
of the Leonidas letter, and was it before or at
ter Gen. Pillows arrest?

A Portrait.
BY KATE ASHTON.

The face is very pale-but to those dreamy eyes,
What high and holy thoughts in volumes rise
There is a strange, sweet beauty fingers on the
brow,
That tells how bright the chaplet Fancy weaveth
now.
How beautifully those massive braids of raven hair
Rest, like coronet, above that forehead fair!
What dimpled smiles around that sweet mouth
wreathe-
How deep the tale of loue their witchng beauties
breathe
1t is the majesty of true acomaiood that sets that
seal Of grace,
Beaming with radiant sou-lght, upon that fair
young face.

PR0SPECTUS OF THE Congressional Register

AITH the commencement ofthe Both Congress-,
 w We propose to continue the Congressional Register on the same plan as published during the last session. Ii will contain full and accurate re- port of the business proceedings of Congress, to- gether with sketches of the debates which take place in each house. The next Congress will be one of the most important which has assembled for years. and it is determination to give to the pco pie complete history of their proceedings, and at such low price that every person who takes an interest in tho nets of that body procure copy. It is believed that the st session of the Both Con gross will continue least eight months; and we therefore propose to issue weekly, on mammoth sheet. octave form, the proceedings the unprece- dcntcd low rate of one dollar per copy for the session.
