SANTA Annals REPLY TO GEN. PILLow.-General D.
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna has written mani
festo, dated In Turbaca, New Granada which we
find in the Havana Diario de la Marina of the 18th
ut., in relation to the charges which Gen. Pillow
has preferred, that money employed by Gen.
Scott to bride the Mexican Commander and author
tiles.
These statements of Gen. Pillow are denied with
the usual vehemence and verbosty of the Mexican
hero. The "infamous calumny, is repealed with
all the lengthy aud high-sounding adiectives with
which he is so familiar lie refers to Gen. Scott's
denial of Pillows statements and says that his
own mistaken integrity-his refusal to betray the
interests of his country, which should have ava
kened for him only admiration and respect, only
rendered him odious to bands of his countrymen,
who cOnspred against him, and endeavored to
take from him that power lie would not prostitute
to mercenary uses. He gives n brief history of
these conspiracies, aud ends with general denial
of Pillows calumnies, and all other reports ever
circulated to his dscredit.

A SMooTHFACED VMLIAN.-Undef this heading
the Worcester (Mass.) Spy gives an account of the
failure and flight from that city of person who
has figured somewhat prom ntly there as an
attorney and speculator III real estate. The Spy
says:
The catalogue of clients ru ned, Of widows and
orphans robbed OF their all by his devices, would
furnish the materials for scores of tragedies, but
all these are east in the shade by the last grand
swindIe by which Lie has robbed many of our most
enterprising bu mess men of hundreds and thou
sands of dollars, and with his ill-gotten booty in
his pocket, clandestinely left the place.
The amount Of his Indebtedness to various par
ties in Worcester and vicinity foots up, thus far,
more than one hundred and thirty thousand dol
lars, which owing to numerous persons, i'll
sums ranging from few dollars up to twelve thou
sand, for which they have no security or expecta-
ton of any. His plans were so skiilfuly arranged
and so Secretly executed that he was able TO turn
everything into cash. leaving no assets behind
him, and there is no reason to doubt that he car
ried away with him from $4,000 to $4,000 in cur.
rent funds, thus making many of his creditors
bankrupt and some Of them even penniless.
