 WAR DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, Dec "A, 1S47. SIR: l invite your attention to the article heren enclosed, from the Baltimore Sun, (frst onbshed in western paper) pretending to pve an account of the proceedings of council # war, and representing that it was held at the 1eadquarters of the Commanding General in |u y last, and that you were present, in which t was proposed to give General Santa Anna or one other Mexican, for the purpose of purcha- lng peace, portion of the three millions ap- by Congress.
 S Nothing could have appeared more improba- ,le to the government here, which is fully aware bat not the slightest authority for any such pro- 'eedlng has in any way emanated from it than his story; yet l am pained to be obliged to say hat suspicious do to some extent prevail, and lppear to be gainnd ground, that there is some oundaton for the rumor
 2 You will 1 trust, agree with me in regarding tof the greatest importance to those alleged to aave been present on that occasion, as well as Q the government, that this rumor, assumed to 'e untounded, should he met with an authorta i've denlal; but should 1t be that anything has aken place which could have afforded even olorable pretext for putting forth the statement Herewith sent to you--if any such proposition $ IS therein mentioned has been offered or en- cftaned-if any has been acceded to- and any tepS taken to carry it into etfect-the President iirects that you communicate to this Depart ment all that you know, and all that you can ascertain in relation to the whole matter.

4 CRUEL IHRusr.--Ine Adyo.
cate in It's review on Tuesday, ot
Major HEREoN's vagaries, let's slip
the following gerry complimentary
remark upon the Old War Horse /:
Oar nominee may dodge and hia4
array from A;s opponents, tearing hc
Oemoerocy to battle agithout a leader.
but let lis tighi.oll tile lrs.er. and fall
the nobler, if fall we m',s,. Success,
however, is ours If We cort.ni for it.
Such a remark from the AIrocnte
is madness, but there's method in
it. 1t shows thatthe Davidson in
terest is fast dying out, and if IN
battling 70" his success, it is the sue
cess OF the pu1ty and not Of the in
dividual. The Dav.dsonites should
be proud Of their leader-prond Of
u.e Convention that nominated
him, and a great deal pr uder tina.
he stays at home where the people
will "let him s4a~" hereafter
Such a hard hit from the Alrocafe
indicates that there is pith and
meaning in it.

The discussion at the Court

| The discussion at the Conr
House of Baton Rouge, o." We'd
nesday night, was u OF the n;h
est Genes We have ever witnessed
1t was a real fight between th'
leaders Of the two Democratic FAC
tons. Major Her Oh on the ''holt
ers side, and ;. I. Marks on tht
other. Major H., opened the bad
by or-a 4,v1e explaining the why
and rl3 wherefore Of Mr.. Davidson
not L@..5 the nominee Of the nr5'
Convention, all Ut which has So
often been relNaslled for the dear
people, that it no longer excltes III
terest. At TIL expiration Of the
Majors time, he was replied to by
Mr.. Marks, that is, if such an ad,
dress, speech Or whatever else you,
can call it, could by any manner
Of means be construed intoa reply.
1t abounded in stale witticislns,
worn out jokes, and was not one
that might have been expected from
an Auditor Of State. During his
reply, however, he animated that
Mr.. sigur would not get T. oft"e
parishes claimed by him, upon
which, the Major stopped him by
saying that he would bet a hundred
dollars that Mr.. Sigur would get
tie parish. Done'" says the
speaker stopping short in hisspeech,
and commenced feeling for his
pocket-book. Here the laughter
Of the crowd was intense-cries +
"go it Major" "go it, COL" we're
heard from all parts Of the house.
The bet was made up, and the
speaker proceeded. After some
more gerry witty stories the speaker
finished. Major Heron having the
of the discussion--tlle reader
will bear i'll mind, tbat the discus
sion was confined to two chanpi-
1is, and they bt h Democrats
went at his antagonist and never
lid We hear or see a man III re

without however, intending
give offence, Mr.. H., inreplying, |
ook occasion also, to cali Mr.. Cren-
parson, this brought that
gentleman to his feet, and

mproprlety Of misusing his name.

le1gynlan, by bringingi in his name

matters. 4 just and well-meritcd
vbuke. The matter being ali ma e
atisf ctory, the Major continued,
nd We must in justice to that gen
|eman, say, that we have never
'eard him make a more powerful

lies. The house rang with shouts
