Gen. Pillows Letter.---the Replv.

There has recently appeared in the papers of
Tennessee. nm adlrrss to the people of TINT
State from Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, announcing
himself as a candidate for the United Stntes
Senate. and supporting his Claims to TINT honor,
by adducing certain important diplomatic SER
vices. which lie alleges to have performed in
Mexico. under secret Instructions from Presi-
dent Polk. as we'll n. important md brilliant
military services in the battles about the city
The letter is 1cry denuncintory of Gen. Scott,
whom it censuro for entertaining the proposal to
bribe the commanders Of the Mexican Army, and
in pursuance Of this agreement, to fight suLse-
quent battles to promote public deception in
volving the sacrifice of the lives of thousnnds of
the soldiers. 1t also denounces the conduct of
Cen. Scott, in entering into the nrmistice of fif
teen days duration. after the battles of Contre-
as snd Churubusco. which enabled Santa An.
M. to complete his defences and rc.organize
his army. and which sacrificed all the advan.
tngcs acquired BY those tw" bloody battles.
The letter Of Gen. Pillow has elected re
ply from Gen. hitchcock. Inspector Geaeysl
Of the Army in Mexico. and late Brevet, Brig.
adler General. The letter churges Gen. Pillow
with having accepted command in the Mex.
icnn Wash for tile purpose Of being spy upon
his commanding General. and that Gen. Pillow
approved in council Of the very proceeding
for which he now affects to censure Gen.
Scott The letter he charncterizes as "filled
with nrtfully stated nlftru.h.. which arc Of
ten n species Of most detestabe fulsehoods."
So far from Gen. Pillows having protested
against the payment ofmoney to Santa Anna.
as a bribe. General Hitchcock who wns pres.
ent at a council Of general Offices. IN whom the
matter was referred. and who took notes Of
the proceedings says:
'That he rose from his seat and earnestly
spoke for some time in favor of the
scheme. There was not the slightest init.
nation for him that there was any thing
wrong in ac acceding to the proposals from the
city Of Mexico. He made. in appreciation Of
the proceeding. whnt might be called "A regular
speech in favor Of it, and venture to sny that
no one who heard him imagined that he ever hai
or was likely to have. any doubts ofthe perfect
propriety of it. What he said was then ut.

his private capacity as spy, be made a some.
