General Quitman, not liking the partial publica-
ton made by General Pillow, Of bis (Quitmsn's)
statements, in relation to the proposed employment
of money to arrange a treaty with Mexico, has
printed at length the correspondence which he had
this subject with the Department Of State. These
documents do not seem to agree very well With the
extraordinary pretensicns set up BY General Pillow
-pretensions Of importance, because they involve
some very curious points Of the secret history of
the Mexican war.
Pillow, it will be recol'ected, alleges that on his
return to Mexico after the battle of Cerro Gordo,
be came back not merely 10 his former military
character, but also ss the confidential agent Of
President Polk, authorized to superintend the ne
gotiations Of Mr.. Trist, and even, it would seem,
empowered to keep an eye on the operations Of
General Scott himself, TO the end that Trist aud
Scott might be restrained from doing anything de-
roeatory to the Presidents honor aud that of the
country. And Pillow goes on to claim that in this
confidential character he discovered, communicated
to the President and defeated, helped to defeat,
scheme for buying treaty Of Santa Anna, thereby
fulfilling his mission and saving the Presidents
ard the country's honor But from the documents
published by General Quitman, one of which il
letter of inquiry addressed TO him By Secretary
Marcy, itappesrs that the FIRST information which tho
Government obtained Of this alleged intrigue with
Santa Anna, was not from any confidential commu.
nication made at the time BY General Pillow, but
from letter frat published in Western news-
paper and thence copied int The Baltimore Sun,
where Mr. Marcy appears first to have seen it.
This letter published in the latter part Of the year
Ie47, would seem to have given an account of the
Council of War held at Pueblo the July preceding
in which the subject Of negotia ion and the sup
plying Of money to secure it was discussed-Pre-
cisely similar to that which Mr.. Pillow has lately
communicated to the citizens of Tennessee as a
great secret. Perhaps he wrote that letter himself
but 10 far from being con6dentialy addressed to
the Government in Mr. Pillow alleged character Of
q confidential agent, it was q piece Of newspaper
correspondence which the Government first saw By
accident, ard which led Mr. Marcy to address let
ters of inquiry on the subject to General Scott to
Mr.. Trist, to General Pillow, to General Quisman,
and probably to all the other generals reported to
have been present at the council. 1t is difficult to
reconcile this state Of things with the pretensions
set up by Mr.. Pillow Of a confidential diplomatic
character, and still less with his claims to have
aided the Government in the defeat Of scheme
which at the most appears to have been only talked
of, and to have been entirely dropped long before
the Government ever heard OF it,

Querg.-Does any one suppose that that
half sheet Ertra is an evidence of increased

Sugar Planter.
1t is quite a treat, when one is "beneath con-
tempt" of the great Il Ans" (HYAMs) Of the
Press, to see, by such filings as the above, that
you still 'stick in their craw." The Ertra
you allude to, mighty monitor, was issued for
the reason that the present one was issued
simply, because we wish to be faithful to our
advertising patrons, To insert all the ad"
v~ertisements in our regular sheet which are at
present on hand, and which are paid for to be
inserted weekly, we would have very little
room for reading matter.
AS there has been no "%political desertion'
on our part, there has been no Increased pat,
ronage" in consequence of it. A deserter in
its true and legitimate meaning, whatever Web
ster may say to the contrary, is one who de-
serts his cause to join the enemy-or one who,
after enlisting in the support of a cause or
party for considerations expressed or under
stood (ike yourself for instance, if we have
not been misinformed) abandons the duty he
assumed for a consideration. Either of these
is the true and contemplate deserter-we are
neither. We voluntarily assumed a partisan
position in a partisan cause because it was con-
genial TO our feelings to do so when we re-
linquished that position, we did so for precise
ly the same reason. What we may do in the
future rests with the future but we are Of
opinion that so long as we publish a paper
we shall continue as we are now-combatting
error and misruIe wherever it may be found,
and in our humble and almost insignificant CA
pacity, keeping equally the watchful eye Of a
sentinel upon the rights of the South and the
integrity of the Union. And if such a course,
pursued with heart-feeling devotion, coupled
with unremitting labor to produce a good and
faithful newspaper besides the desire to do
justice to all our patrons, does not procure
the necessary means requisite for our mainte-
nance and those who are dependent upon US,
then we must trust to God for some other
mode by which to live-that's all.
