nolover ten minutes' ride certainly. - I-pas- ' scd on to the position of Magruder’s battery, and when I returned to the bill I must have : been pone about thirty minutes, by strict cal culation, from the nature of the ground and pace of my horse. When I first passed the hill I sasv a body of infantry stationed near Taylor s battery ; my subsequent knwledge of the field convinces me that it must have been Morgan s regiment. On returning to and as cending the hill, I saw a body of infantry in mo- . lion across the pedrigal, not far advanced be- j yond the position of Taylor’s battery, so little that they could have been in motion but a few minutes—say ten ; when 1 joined Gen. Scott lie pointed out to me these troops, and said, tn the fpresence of Gen. Pillow, that is Morgan s regiment, which 1 have just sent to occupy the village between the enemy’s works and his reinforcements, at the same lime point ing out Mexican troops. I give the substance and meaning of bis words. Gens. Scott and Pillow were together at the time ; I don’t know whether Gen. Pillow was attending particu larly to what passed between Gen. Scott and myself; I don’t recollect how close Gen. Pil low was to Gen. Scott at the time ; I don't know that he was close enough to hear; he was in the same group. [Gen. Pillow desired to know if the court considered the witness s evidence competent proof. The court permitted the witness to proceed, with a request that he would confine him-elf to the points of the questions ] Q. Were the two major generals near enough to hear what was said by the other, and during the conversation that took place did Gen. Scott speak in a louder tone than usual, or not 7 A. With regard to the tone of conversation, it was certainly not undertoned. I myself am in the habit of speaking quite loud when ex cited, and 1 have never remarked the contrary in Gen Scott. As to the exact distance be tween the two major generals, 1 cannot now speak positively; my impression is that all those in the group would have heard each other by paying attention. 1 recollect that a good deal of conversation went on subse quently to what I have stated, between the two major generals, who were together ob serving the movements of the field. I remained for some time listening to, and, perhaps, tak ing part in the conversation. Cross-examination.— What position have you occupied during the campaign on the staff of Maj. Gen. Scott 7 A. t have been his military secretary. Ci. Have you in presence of officers of the army, made use of the following language: Gen Pillow is a liar, or a damned liar; and that Gen. Scott has a paper in his possession that will prove him to he one; and I don’t care if Gen. Pillow knows that I have said so 7 A. I do not recollect that I had employed the coarse terms specified in the question. I have stated, that I did nut believe Gen. Pillow to he a man of veracity. I have expressed very un favorable opinions of Gen. Pillow to Gen, Scott, and to others, long before Gen. Scott had ceased to regard Gen. Pillow with kindness and confidence. ('apt Davis called and sworn. —<4,. Did the witness chance to be made the hearer of any order from Major-General Pillow on the af ternoon of the 19th August 7 A. I did. It was to Col. Riley, who was advancing over the pedrigal towards the left of the enemy’s camp. The order was for Col. Riley to return with his brigade, to report to Gen. Smith, whose skirmishers had driven the light troops of the enemy back in front of Con treras. 1 did not deliver the order to Colonel Riley, being unable to overtake him owing to the nature of the ground. Lieut. Rrooks, aid to Gen. Twiggs, called my attention, begging me to come up where he was, and see what good ground there was for operating on the enemy’s leit. 1 examined the ground and immediately returned and reported to Gen. Pillow, who instantly ordered me to put the brigade in motion for the support of Colonel Riley. Q. Were the appearances, at the moment you took the order for Col. Riley, such as to indicate that the position might be taken by a front attack on the enemy’s entrenched works ? A. They were, for the reason that the diffi culties which, afterwards, were discovered, were not apparent from the position occupied by Gen. Pillow. The Court then adjourned.

WOOF TEN are respectfully requested to attend the funeral of the former from the I Methodist Church, THIS MORNING, at 10 o’clock. May 17. Sltefr. On the 4th of May, 1543, at her residence in Edgefield Dist., Mrs. Maruxret E. McKis, consort ol Ge»rge A. McKie, in the 37th year of her age. Thus has passed away from rime in the strength of her years, and the fullness of her hope and happiness, one about whom many tender affections clustered. The mention of her name awakes a thousand memo ries of her goodness and benevolence. Her heart w&sthe home of loveliness most true, And the fountain of kindness most endeared. Her hands were the willing instruments to distri buie charity to the needy ; her house was a shelter i for ’he homeless and an asylum for the afflicted ; sor- j row was banished by her smiles, and joy inspired by her presence. But death has claimed her for his own and severed the food endearments of friends and kindred. The family circle is bereft of its brightest and most valued ornament; an affectionate husband stricken and bereaved, deplores in loneliness and' grief, his early loss ; fire lilUe-ones, in sadness and ] anguish, seek is T«in that maternal care that guided them with the tenderer! solicitude, and neighbors and J servant • feel the tears of sorrow start when they re , call her many virtues. But they do not repair to her last lone retreat to weep in sadness as tho-c who have no hope, for her Christ ian faith was strong, her con fidence unwavering ; she knew “ that if her earthly house, if this tabernacle were dissolved, she had a building of God, an h use not made with hands eter i naily in the Heavens.” This consolation sustained her amidst her deepest afflictions, in her latest hour, j f,>r ,elt they “ were but for a moment and would I work out for her a far more exceeding and eternal i "eight of glory.” The valley and shadow of death j were illumined by the Star of Bethlehem, and a glo rious future unveiled to the eye of faith, welcomed I her to the inheritance of Saints in light. Also a few days before his mother, Henry McKis, aged 2 years 3 months and 16 days. “Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Commercial. AUGUSTA MARKET. Tuesday, May 16, P. M. COTTON,—The receipts at all the ports to the latest dates now amount to 2,032,529 bales, which added to the stocks in Mi ton and Augusta, usually counted in the estimates of the crop, will now amount to 2,124,869 bales, and as we may, without doubt, calculate upon twice the amount for the balance of the season that we did last year it will not be far wrong to put down our receipts of the present crop at 2.300.000 bales, and we do not believe that it will vary much from those figures.

FOR GRINDING WHEAT, CORN, or any other kind of Grain. They may be pro pelled by water, steam, wind, or horse power, and will do its work with great rapidity and perfection, and may be put up and kept in order by almost any person. It is a perfect Grist Mill in miniature, well adapted to the wants of every Parmer and Planter, and is undoubtedly the cheapest and best Mill ever offered to the public. These Mills are not made of Iron or Steel, which soon become dud by use, and then cannot be sharpened again, but of the best FRENCH BURR STONE, which is but little affect ed by use, and when it does become dull, can easily be sharpened by the farmer himself. The highest premiums and silver medals have been awarded to this Mill three years in succession, by the American Institute in the city of New York, and also a silver medal from the Franklin Institute, in Philadelphia, and the National Fair, at Washington. A Premium ica-s awarded to this Mill at the New York State Pair held at Saratoga Springs, in Sept., 1847 ; and also obtained a premium at the Massachusetts Agricultural Pair held in Boston last September. The subscriber owns the Patent-Right for SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA and FLORIDA, and has already sold near one hundred mills in the South, West and Middle Counties of Georgia, and the en couragement he has received, and the satisfaction the mills have generally given, induces him to extend his operations into South Carolina and Georgia in the vi -3 tycio f Augusta. mMiI Is for sale by the subscriber, in Macon; by | 1 essrs.

Mr. James Van Valkenburgh, Dear Sir; I have tried your Fitzgerald Patent Mill, for grinding corn, and have found it to answer admirably. No planter that is not in the vicinity of a public mill ought to be without one, if he can afford I to purchase, and his family is sufficiently large to re -1 quire the use of it, otherwise, I would suggest that i several fanners of a neighborhood should uni‘e to j purchase one in common, which being established in ; a central position, would be accessible to all. Very respectfully, yours, G. M. TROUP. Albany, Baker Co.. Ga., May 22, 1647. Dear Sir: —I have purchased one of your Fitz- I gerald Patent Burr-stone Corn Mills, and am perfeet -1 ly sat sfied that it would be greatly to the interest of any planter who is notin the immediate vicinity of a good public mill, to purchase one, being simple in its construction, and durable in material, and easily pro pelled by the same gear and power used in ginning otton.
