The Houston and Pierce Correspondence

The following correspondence, which has been
handed to US, will explain itself and the motives
for its publication
44ndrero H. Miekle to Sam Houston.
NEW YoRK, February 8, 1866.
MY DEAR GENERAL: In the Galveston News
and other Southern papers, as well as the New
York press, frequent illusions have been made
lately TO correspondence alleged to have passed
between yourself and Gen. Pierce soon after his
election and by one Of the notices il is expressly
stated that the correspondence in question reflects
discreditably upon the Hero Of San Jacinto."
OF course such nsinuations can have no effect
upon me or upon any of your old friends, but there
are those of later generation who have had less
favorable opportunities than myself Of watching
your public career, upon whom such reports, If
uncontradcted, may leave an impression. Under
these circumstances venture to ask If you have
any objection to informing me whether any cor
respondence has passed between yourself and Gen.
Pierce, since his election, in which the public have
an interest. and, If SO, whether you have any OBJ
lection to its being seen by your friends in this city,
In making this inquiry, trust | need not as.
sure you that am only actuated by sentiments of
the most sincere regard for you, as statesman
and friend. Yours very truly
@ A. H. MICKLE.
p. 8. If consistent with your sense OF propriety,
should be glad to have you submit the cores
pondence in question to the public press.
Sam Houston to Andresc II. Mickle.
WASHINGTON, 18th Feb, 1855.
My DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 9th instant
reached me to-day by mail thank you for the
interest you have evinced in caring for my reputa
ton For months past the newspapers inimical to
me have been twtting me on the subject of a cor
respondence with the President. Of late, the allu-
sions to it have increased in number.
In writing my letter. was actuated by the kind
est feelings of personal regard for Mr. Pierce, de-
sire for the success of his administration and an
anxious wish for the prosperity of my country. /
have the control of my own correspondence, and
therefore send you copy of my letter If you
think it necessary and fit you are at full liberty to
give it publicity as you may think proper. its
publication incurs any responsibility, or should re-
feet dscredt upon me, would rather it should
pass for what itis WORTH than to have repeated in
situations made against my character. My mo-
tives require no vindication i will not send copy
of Mr.. Pieree's reply, because it was doubtless
written hastily, and without any more expectation
than had, of ever seeing it published. 1t is,
nevertheless, but justice to Mr.. Pierce to say, that
he was pleased to characterize mine as kind and
noble letter, and responded heartily to every senti
ment and opinion expressed By me.
Thine truly, SAM HOUSTON.
