TRIAL OF Carr. McLAxx.-A Court Martial

for the hial OF Capt AcLsne met Tuesday In state
ST. pursuant T. adjournment The charges against
Capt heLane Are trying to provoke an ARRAY with
Lieut. Hsrdcasile and also with Lieut.. Col Roberts,
whom he assaulted with his fist; such sonauct being H.
legal and subversive Of good order The only reason
for especial public Alusion the tri Is the fact thai
during the late canvass article was published o.
ensiby upon the authority Of Capt Mclane alleging
tia, Gen. Pierce had his face slapped dinner table
in Mexico by Capt MGyrudcr, and that Gen p did not
recent the insult The material portion Of the state
ment we understand, hiss not been taken back by
Capt McLane but he said, in letter to ]. F. McJon,
ESQ the publication was made without my knowl-
edge or consert Il was q material misrepresentation
of wha, have said intended and have so declared
10 all with whom have converted with regard tot,
and among others TO the Editor of The ArsEs. The
substance OF my observations in regard this dricuty
of Gen Pierce Is, that according to my impression on
the night prior to his leaving the City Of Mexico his
slapped at game cards By an officer OF the
Army and that the indgnity not on the instant or
rs far have learnt subsequently, resented In sucn
manner as in my opinion it ought to have been by
man Of proper spirit and courage For these impres-
sons would Of course be responsible to Gen Pierce
and his friends and must say that any nipuation 10
me OF n statement inconsistent with the foregoing
would be a misrepresentation would not excuse
The testimony adduced thus far shows that several
officers Of the Army took sides with Gen Pierce, that
various letters were written TO Capt acLane, ana
general fermcnt the consequence There no tes'
timcny OF course touching the truth OF the assertion az
to faceslapping, as il Is not point In the charges
Gen Pierce being no longer member OF the Army
cannot be brought into the question. The evidence
seems to sustain the charges of violent language AMI
assault; but tie defense had barely commenced yea
terday and different aspect may yet be given to the
matter.
