Generals Quitman and Smith say, in their re-

So, then, General Pierce was not in the battle of
lConueras, nor of Churubusco, nor Of Molno del
Rey, nor Of Chapultepec, at the garitas! But,

afternoon OF the 18th August, and there was firing

I"Old Army" will show from any official report
that Perce's brigade Except the 18th infantry,
(which crossed the pedrigal the 10Th August)

Pierce may have all the glory that should enure

Army" asserts that General Pierce did not come

|qnibble. He resigned and came home in one Of
the first trains, (I think, still, the Jrst) months
before tho war ended.
