Proceeding* of the Coart of laqairr*
THE 8IXTH DAY.
[Special comupondence of the Picayune.]
Mexico, March S3, 1848.
Tho court met at the uaual hour; present, all
the members, namely; Brig. Gen. Nathan Toweon,
President; Brig. Gen. Caleb Cushing, and Col.
VV. G. Belknap, Capt. Samuel C. Ridgcly, Judge
Advocate.
Before the commencement of proceedings the
room was cleared of all except the parties imme
diately interested, in order to hold a conference
desired by the court.
Tlie court being opened, Gen. Pillow addressed
the court, making complaint against the report
that appeared this morning in the “ Star” news
paper.
Gen. Scott also reminded the court of the notice
he had taken yesterday of a paper published in tho
“ Star” signed “ W. J. ftVorth, &c. After some
further conversation on this subject, tho court pro
ceeded to business. Tlie first witness called was
Mr. Trist, who was sworn.
Question—By the Prosecution.—Will tho wit
ness look over the two papers marked (by the court,)
Nos. 1 and 3 and state whether, according to his
knowledge of the hand-writing of Maj. Gen. Pil
low, there be, on tho face of No. 3, words in the
same hand-writing of that gonerul 7.
Ansioer.—I have received many notes from Gen.
Pillow, and ono very important ono I compared
with the interlineations in No. 1. I recognise in
No. 1 a paper with which I am familiar, and be.
iievc the interlinoations to be in Gen. Pillow’s hand
writing. There aro some others that appear to
lie in the same hand-writing, but I feel less confi
dent about the resemblance. In tho paper No. 31
sec three interlineations which I believe to be in
the same hand-writing.
Gen. Scott Will the witness specify tlie jvords ?
A.—“ Victorious” in page 3; tho word “ Gen-
oral” in page 4; in page 6 the words “ Gen. Smith - , 1
there aro some others that appear to me to bo in
the same hand-writing, but I feel less confident
about them than about the others.
Q.—What knowledge has tho witness, if any,
direct or circumstantial, rcsgiccting the timo, tlie
manner, mid tlie channel in which tho letter in
question was transmitted to tho United States, und
by whom ?
A.—Tho knowledge was purely circumstantial.
I will state tho facts: By tho President of tho U.
States, or by tho person occupying that post—for
it was not in his official cnnacity—I was placed
upon very intimate personal relations with Gen.
Pillow,and formed a vory favorableopinionoffline—
had great confidence in him—from that cause I
did not hesitate tocomply with his request to trans
mit loiters for him by tlie Bnmc channel through
which I transmitted my despatches. That chan
nel was chiefly James L. Freaner, correspondent
of tho N. O. Delta; having good reason to boliove
that it wns tho safest I could possibly command.
The mode used by mo in transmitting letters by
him, f will describo; it is a fact which connects
itself witli others. Knowing that a parcel directed
to tlie editors of the Delta would pass through
Mexican hands, where any thing else would have
been oponed, that fell into the same hands, I got
Mr. Freaner to call nn mo always during the last
moments previous to the departure of his courier,
and tlion every thing that I had to send by him was
put up withinliis own package—in his own rough
printers’ way. Ill that way, chiefly, did I send
whiitcvcr letters I have sent to the United States,
and every letter ever put into my hands by Gen
Pillow, cither by his own hands or by messenger,
was forwarded by ine on the first opportunity, ex
cept in one single instance, which happened ut
Tacubaya. On that occasion I received from Gen.
Pillow Bcvoral lottcra, which were returned to him
in consequence of my not bring able to send them
by tho means he wished them to go; among the
letters received by mo from Gen. Pillow I recollect
distinctly one or more letters addressed to tho edi
tors of the “ Dellaono or more to tho editors
of tho “ Union,” Washington; nnd ono or more
addressed to two other newspapers in the United
States, one, 1 think, was in Tennossco, und tlie
other in Aluliama.
Gen. Pillow bore raised a point of order.
Tlie court directed tho witness to ronfino his
answer strictly to tho question propounded.
Answer continued.—It was on the 31st of Aug.,
1847, that I received from Gen. Pillow the noto re
ferred to in my reply to tho first question, which
note I will read. The note is marked on tho back
“Private,” with a hand pointing to tho wool, and
roads as follows:
Endorsed on outside—“Private. Mr. Trist,Ta
cubaya.”
On the insiilr—“ Miscoac, August 31st, 1817.
“ Private—Will Mr. Trist do me tho favor of
having the enclosed letters go by tho morrow’s
courier. I have a direi:t interest in their going.
If they can not go return them to me.
GID. J. PILLOW.
“ But do send them if possible. They aro all
for my benefit. G. J, P.”
To tho test of my recollection, tho package re
ferred to in that note contained one addressed to
the editors of the Delta, and ono addressed to the
Union; and tlioac letters, bo far as I recollect and
believe, were forwnrded in tho manner above in
dicated—through Mr. Freaner. Sometime after
tlie appearance of “ Leonidas,” I read a lotter ad
dressed to Mr. Freaner, from tlie principal editor
of tlie Delta.
Gen. Pillow objected, when some discussion
nrose ns to tlie propriety of admitting tho testimo
ny, and it was filially uetormined that it waa not
strictly in order and so ruled.
The examination in chief of Mr. Trist was
closed. Gen. Scott intimated that he should call
the witness again, on other specifications.
Cross-examination by Grn. Pillow.—Q.—-Wit
ness will please to stato whether there were not in
the package referred ton letter to iny wife, one lo
Mrs. Col. Trousdale, ono to Mrs. Capt. Irwin, ono
to Mrs. Surgeon Jordan, and other ladlca ?
A.—I don’t recollect—among the letters return
ed or otherwise—noticing but one letter to any lady
except Mrs. Pillow, and I recollect, also, being
struck with tho fact, that there was not always a
letter for her in those sent mo.
Q.—State if any addressea of tho lettors you
have referred to were in my hand-writing except
the one to my wife.
A.—1 did not attend particularly to tho hand-
writingof tho addresses on the letters. 1 think
that the letters lo tho editors wore generally ad
dressed in a larger, plainer and hotter hand than
Gen. Pillow’s.
Q.—Were tho letters you refer to, addressed to
the editors, all in tlie sumo hand-writing?
A.—To (lie host of my recolloclion they were.
I did not attend particularly to the hand-writing.
It was a subject that had no interest to my mind
then.
Q.—How many loiters were there in the first
package you refer to, and how many in the
accuna I
A.—I do not refor to 'any first package—have
not made uny such reference.
[Gen. Pillow said he wanted to learn from tlie
wiincssif his wholo statement applios to that one
|iackiign—the one forwarded. VVitnoss replied
that if tlie question should bo properly put lie
would answer it.]
Q.—Did you receive at Tacubuya two pack
ages or one ?
A.—l do not recollect. I received one, certain
ly ; I may have received several at Tacubaya—
Tho letters mentioned by ino ns having boon re
tained, wore retained at Tacubaya, or to the best
of uiy recolloction, and not in this city. My belief
is that the letters mentioned in that note were not
the letters retained. 1 am not certain as to that
fact, hat my beliof is tliut they were sent.
Q—Wore tlio two letters referred to by you—
one addressed to the editors of the N. O. Delta,
and one addressed to tlie editor* of tho Union—
sent through Mr. Freaner, or were they rclumod
to me ?

I can't say whether it was in the cjty of Mexico or
before we come here—so very imperfect is my
recollection. If it were in the city of Mexico the
letter or letters returned by him (Hagers) were, I
feel satisfied, different from the parcel mendoocd
In my former answer.
Q — By whom and where did you receive the
package referred to in the note, and how many
letters were in that package ?
A.—I don’t recollect by whom—the where was
Tacubaya. I think there were at least half a
dozen letters—perhaps more.
"I.—Did yott not receive that package from Lt.
. ley, and return me a card with tire endorse
ment “O. K.—they shall go?”
A.—At the mention of “ O. K.” being a pecu
liarity of mine, as a short way of writing note*, U
renders it nuitc probable that that did occur.
S .—Did you not show the note that yon have
, and did you not furnish the paper marked
“ l”to Gen. Scott?
A.—This paper “ No. 1,” was furnished by me
to Gen. Scott. That note (received from General
Pillow on the 31st of August) was either read to
Gen. Scott or shown to him—or I told him of its
character; which of these then happened I do not
recollect.
[Gon. Scott—The witness read it to me, Mr.
President]
Q.—Did you suggest to Mr. Freaner the neces
sity of writing to the Delta office to preserve the
original Leonidas Letter, and did yon also suggest
to him to bring back that letter on his return from
Washington,as bearer of despatches?
A.—1 made no such suggestion’, and regretted
exceedingly, after liis departure, that I had not
made it.
Q.—Do you entertuin feelings of hostility and
prejudice against Gen. Pillow ?
The witness inquired if the court wished that
tjiiestion answered. The court replied in the af
firmative.
A.—With regard to prejudice, the only preju
dice that ever existed in my mind with regard to
the person who puts tlie question, was prejudice in
liis favor. The only feeling of hostility which I
entertained, are those arising from a studied at
tempt on liis part to avail himself of tho position
in which I had been placet! towards him by his
friend, Mr. Polk, to make mo tlie accomplice and
tool in a scheme of villainy and imposture:—of
imposture towards our wholo country, and villainy
towards individual officers of this army, the mast
audacious, by far, that I have any knowledge of.
Gen. Pillow desired his question answered; the wit*
ness was wandering from the point.
A.—I have no personal hostility or prejudice against
him or anybody else—my hostility is against villainy.
(?.—Have you, or not, written a letter or letters cal
culated and intended to injure me—and to Whom T
A.—I have written no lotters to any press, or any per
son connected with any press—or intended to influence
the mind of any person connected with any press. I
have written letters, which, in one sense of the won]—
” injure’’—were calculated lo make his character known,
mid, therefore, Ur injure him. The firet of these letters
was written to my family in Washington—it contained a
message for Mr. Buchanan, Secretary of State,dictated
by feelings of kindness rewards him—and the deeire to
save him (Mr. Ii.) from disgrace. That message was—
Gen. Pillow said the message was not called for. The
witaess then passed on to the second letter, and con*
tinuod—
The second letter, in order of date, so far as I can re*
collect, was written about half-past 3 o’clock in the
morning preceding the departure of the train by which
(■eiis. Quitman and Shields left here—after I Had been
nt work all day and all night writing. It was addressed
to him solely because lie was tlie only member of the
military committee in that body whoee name I knew. It
waH enclosed to my family, with these instruction:
“ Take a copy of tins loner, and eo soon as you know of
Gen. Dis’s arrival in Washington, direct it, seal it, and
send it to the post office. One week exactly after that
time, send fur Mr. Uurhanan, Secretary of State, and
show him the copy.” The letter was couched, as well
us 1 can recoiled, in the following terms: ” Beware of
precipitancy in yuur confirmation of Generals’nomina
tions in this quarter; if yon neglect this caution, it can
ouiv serve to involve tlie Senate in a disgrace—a deep,
damning, inefTablu disgraco—which no earthly power, or
all earthly powers combined, can avert.” This waslhe
substance of tlie letter, so far as I can recollect, and the
lenns. There was a postscript to it, desiring that, if my
friend, Hubert Dale Owen, of Indiana, was in Wash
ington, to show it to him. The third letter was s long
despatch to the Department id State—an official paper—
winch was sure to go immediately into tbs hands of thi
President, whom I thought it might save from the Infitt-
nation that he was laboring under, by etartling and
alarming Idm, if In no other way. In that official des
patch, alter speaking of Gen. Pillow’s character—
Gen. Pillow her%|nterrupted the witness, and desired
lliat lie would shape his answer to correspond with tho
question.
Q.—The nomination of what general officer wu your
letter intended to aflect f •
A.—It was intended to affect that of Major General
Gideon J. Pillow, whose confirmation 1 had no doubt
every attempt would be made to hurry through tho
Senate. 1 deemed tlie general caution, however, suffi
cient for the purpose.
Q.—In the official letter alluded to, did you use tho
fuiluwilig language:
“ Of these two dupes, the one was Santa Anna, tho
other most worthy conquer of Santa Anna, BO far as ha
can be made so by tlie same low craving lor distinction,
and tlie same happy facility in deviating from the wayi
