The Siiuthers Literary Ouetta,
There will bo found in.our column* thin morn*
ing the protpeclutof* literary journal,bearing this
name, to be publiahed weekly in Annex*, and to
be edited by William C. RicnAiuis. To. *ny
that we confidently expect the success of this on*
terpriae may appoar to be ra*h and inconsiderate
to those who nro familiar with the ipeedy and
litter failure of all euterpriao* of a like deacrip*
tton tn tills State, Nevertheless wo have our
roaaons for bolieviug that Mr. Richard* will be
enabled to establish a literary paper in Georgia
which will merit und receive the patrounge of the
publio. la the first place he will have the entire
field to himself. During the existence of “th*
Oriox," it had to coutend, at difterent'tiinc*, with
“th* Mirror," in Augusta, ♦* Tier. Laiub*' Com.
paxiox," (if we iniatnke not tho name,) in Ma<
con, and “me Maqxolia,” (which carried with
it from Georgia most of it* subscriber* nnd many
of it* correnpondunt*,) in Charleston t at first
with the eatira three, and never with lew than
two of these journal*. It was obvious that tho
•oil was net fertile enough tn sustain all of these
literary plauts, and it ie no matter of surprise, it
is cerlaiuly no matter for discouragement, that
being located so near each other they should hnvo
suffered (Vom a commonexhausUon—should have
withered end perished together.
Ill the next place, the proposed plan of “ tub
Literary Gaebtye” strikes us in a favorable
light. It Is to be a weekly paper, making a
greater number, and $korter visits, (which i* de
cidedly the fashion of the day,) to its readers. It
will partake of the sprightly characteristics of a
newspaper, and scatter the spices of gossip
among tho moro solid dishst of science and let
ters. It is cheap in its* plan, (the subscription
being only two dottars per annual,) nnd many
will bo willing to take it who would be hardly
disposed to pay fivo dollars for a Southern irfan*
magazine, which comes to hand only once a month,
when the same amount would supply them witli
some of tho best standard periodicals of the
world. We have always believed that Georgia
literary enterprises have stumbled and fallen, be
cause they undertook to run before they had
learned how to walk; bnt this bantling makes no
unbecoming pretensions | it is modest in iu do-
sign, modest in the .amount of support which it
solicits at tho hands of a generous public, and
wa art pleased to see that Mr. Richards has al
ready met with unprecedented succosa (in our
part of the world at least) in oxtending his list of
subscribers. In our city alone ho obtained, wo
believe, near three hundred.
We like the locality he lias selected. Athens
is the scat of our Suto University nnd it is hut
reasonable to suppose that moro litorary taste
and talent will be concentrated there than at any
other point in the Stale. The Professors of
Franklin College (among whom are Dr. Stevens
and Dr. LeConte, well known to our own com
munity as accomplished scholar* and finished
writers) will doubtless extend that literary assis
tance to the infant enterprise which it has aright
to expect at their hands.
U is ueedfess to speak of the qualifications of
Mr. Richards for the position of editor. If indom
itable energy, unwavering perseverance, com.
hined witli Uio facilities of composition of a prac
tised writer and a refined taste, which ho hasal-
already displayed, enninsuresnecess, he certainly
bos a right to expect it. All who are mtorestod
in the growth of* literature in Georgia, who be
lieve that its cultivation will exert a wholesome
influence upon the popular mind, (and who can
doubt it?) who feel that wifiioutit we aro cut off
from a rich source of pleasurable enjoyment,
who think that literary talent may lio hidden in
our midst from a want of stiinuloiisto excitement
oropportunity for display, who believe thatsomo
portion of popular interest should bo diverted
from the heated cliuniiols of political strifu to
wamlor “through the gruen pastures nnd by the
still waters" of polite Art, will earnestly hope that
the liltln seed lie is aboat to plant may not ho
doomed to full among tho rocks or in burren pla
ces, but may find a congenial soil, may spring up
into a healthy infancy and expand itself to a
sturdy growth, until the taste of it* ripened fruit
shall satisfy tho callous of its benefit* and the
doubtful of it* ability to live.

|EeW#i»« of Brig. Gtn. P. F. Smith, f
Brig. Gan. P. F. Smith.—Question by the
Prosecution.—By whose order* did the wltnefce
pas* the Pcdrigal. near the enemy, in the after-
S oon of August 10th last I About what hour did
o roach the hamlet called Ban Germiimo that af-
ternoou f What dues the witness know bl any
plan or order of battle, respecting nit attack by
the American forces ou the left Hank, rear, or iu-
trcncodcamp, coming ftont Msj. Gen. Pillow, or
other officer, senior to thu witness; and by whom
was tho plan actually executed upon that entnp,
conceived, laid down aud executed, tho morning
of August 20th t
A.—My brigade is in Gen. Twiggs division.—
That division, by Gen. Hcott's order, cmmniiiiica-
ted through Uen. Twiggs to mo. pnssad through
Ban Augustin in front oijGcn.Pillow's division,to
cover that division ,'ln making a road, by which
the army might reach the Ban Angel road,to turn
the posiuun of Ban Antohio. That was the ex
planation which accompanied the order for our
movement.
After passing a hill or mound to tho right, we
? ;ot under the tire of the enemy's position nt Con-
reraa. Gen. Twiggs there ordered the advance,,
composed of two eoinpauie* of rifiemen, to drive
the enemy's skirmisher* that were in the corn in
front, and cover the engiueers iu their recuunots-
sance. While that was doing, Magruilsr's bat
tery came to the front. Un the report of tha en
gineers, tha bitter/ was ordered to advance, and
1 was ordered with my brigade to cover it. Gen.
Twiggs at tho same time turned Riley'f brigade,
with Taylor's battery, oft* to the right, aud they
soon disappeared outlie cornfield into the Pedro,
gal.
One of the pieces of Magnifier's battery got
fast in the stouc wall through which wo were
passing, which delayed us a low moments. Just
as they started aguiu, Gen. Pillow rode up. He
asked mo where Gen. Twiggs was; and I, poiut-
Ug tra -4.W .U.vurfai), ••III 1.1%.. Ura li.J g.li. u|f tlinl
wny- Al ihnt very inninniil, a* ho tliriiod Oil’, I
entered the cornfield, and could see no moro of
him. Tlie next I saw of cither of these general
officer* was after tlie action of next morning.—
Gen. Twiggs joined the division just as tho head
of it was marching out of the village of Sun tier-
onimo. Gen. Pillow cum* up to tha head of the
column, where 1 was, just hoforo entering San
Angel, uear souio ruined arches, with au aque
duct on tho left hand.
The only order* I received, up to tho time that
I mentioned, wheitGon. Pillow turned off to tho
right to follow Gen. Twiggs, was tlie first order
of Gen. Scott, relative to the movement toward*
tho San Angel road, the order of Gen. Twiggs,to
muvo to tho front to support Magnifier'* buttery,
and soma order of detail from Gen. Twiggs.—
Gen. Pillow gnvo me uo order at all.
Alagrndor'* battery moved olf tn tho left, and I,
with my brigade, took up a position to support
it. Thera was a very heavy llro from tho artille
ry in the eucuiy'* position, nufi au attack directly
in front would have occariotfcd a very great loss.
To turn their position by our left would not cut
their Jilin of retreat; uml seeing tho ohurcli and
village between thoir position and tho city, I de
termined to move round by our right, into that
village and take possession of it. I called tho of
ficers of tho rogimont* together, and explained
to them the object mid said llmt I would execute
It iu a Ibw minute* If uo order* came to the con
trary. After waiting perhaps fifteen minute* lun
ger, to seo if any order* would come from the
roar, I directed Cupt. Mugrudur to open his tiro
again, which had buett uileuced pretty much by
tlie euoiny, iu order to cover uiy movement to
the right. I then moved olf by tho right flank,
filiug round, mul'tUeitce towards the vltnge. I
happened to couio out from tho padragul along
with n regiment which reported to Gou. Cadwal-
ader t aud 1 suppose, trout other circumstances,
that it was Morgau'* regiment. It was more
tbauan hour before suti*ot before wo got over
to tlie fluid ou thu right of thu village. Ah we
started from tho position of Magriidur'e battery,
we saw reinforcement* coming out from the city
to the Mexican*. When trs came out from th*e
J iedregal, thoy were formed, ill considerable
hreo, between the villago aud Ban Angel, their
left on a wood and lino perpendicular to tho San
Angel road. A* my brigade was forming, after
getting to tlie villago, these reinforcements filed
round by their right flank, in two linos, parallel
to the road. At tide movement Gen. f'adwnla-
dercamo up and reported to nie. 1 inquired,
first if Col. Riley'a brigade was over tliore, but
could get nolnluroiattun about it. 1 then, in or
der to make face to the enemy's new front,direc
ted Gen. Cadwuladerto file Ids brigndo round to
the left, in a Hue parallel to tho enemy. 1 put
Mej-. Dimmick'fl regimeut of ortiUory in the or<
chard, on tho muiu road lending from Con-
treras to San Angel, and formed tho 3d Infantry
and Riflemen on tlio right flank of the village, in
column. I directed a company of Lieut. Col.
Graham's regiment (tho 11th) and Lieut. Smith's
engiuour company to tako possession of tlio
church—the centre of the village. Just after this
an officer reported (Lieut. Porter) that ho hud
tnet an officer belonging tn Riley’s brigade, who
said that the brigade was further up tha village,to
the right. Col. Rlloy soon after reported to mt
that bis brigade was there. The enemy in front
was commanded by Gen. Santa Anna, those in
the church by Gen. Valencia—although wo did
not know this nt tho time. Aftor examining San
ta Anna’s position, I ordered an attack upon it.
Riley to attack towards tlio loft, Cadwaluder a-
boat one hundred aud fifty yards to tlio right of
Riley, aud retired in echetlon, both columns by
dtvtsiou, left in front. Riley wa* to pierce tlie
right of the enemy’s line about two Imudrcd
yards from the enemy's right Hank—Cadwalnder
to form the front. This was just about sunset
when this order wa* given. Gen. Cadwatadcr
had examined the ravine in hi* front, and repor
ted diet it could bo pussud, but with difficulty.—
Riley soon returned and reported that his brig
ade was reedy to march out. A few minutee of-
ter Gen. Cadwalador camo lip for some explana
tion of tho order, und reported that tho ground
occupied by his brigade was so difficult that it
would be some time beforo his brigade could be
funned. By this time it got so dark that you
could scarcely perceive the enemy's lines, n* they
stood under the brow of the hill, und it would ev
idently be quite dark before we could cross tho
ravine—the order to attack was countermanded.
Col. Riley then mentioned,that while lie had beeu
lip to tho upper and of the villago, and outside of
it towards the oiioiuy, Capt. Cainhy and Lieut,
lower, of the engineer*, had rucounoitered the
ground towanls Valencia's position, and found
that tlie ravine in frontled up entirely in tho rear
of Valencia'* oamp, und that infantry could move
tip it. 1 then determined to attack before day in
that direction; and upon my saying that I should
bo very glad to communicate our position and
my intention to Gen. Scott, Capt. Lee offered to
go over. I desired him to s«v that wo would at
tack Valencia's position in the renr at U o'clock,
and requested that such diversion os might bo
made would bo inode in front ofhi* position.
I then sent Lieut*.' Brook* and Tower to ex
amine again this raviuo, after dark, m order that
we might be sure to find it beforo daylight iu the
morning. I then disposed of Uio troop* to defend
tho place in the night if attacked, and to march
out iu the morning hoforo day. After the roturii
of Lieut* Brooks and Tower, I sent fur Colonel
Riley, Gan. Cadwalador and .Major Dimmick, the
commander* of thu three brigades, and gave to
each detailed instruction* of wjiat ho was to do
in tlio attack in tho morning, providing particu
larly for an attack upon ua by Same Amin, while
we wero marching out to attack Valencia. About
10 o'clock, Ueu. Shield*' aid, Lieut, llnminond,
cauio und reported lliut tlio general hud got thro'
tho pudrogaf, ami was lying on tho open ground
between tho road and the ravine. Beiug under
the impression that I ranked Gen. Shields,
I directed thnt hi* two regiments should occupy
t»« position which Mnj, Dimmick had first
occupied, in the orchard ou the rend. Direc
ting then that (ho whole of my own brigade
should join tho column which was moving on to
the attack of Valencia, about 12 o'clock Gcu.
Shields came himself? I repeated the iiiitriictiou*
to ttim stilt under tho impression that i runUod him,
and he, with greatiloliu.iry a* wellmm.-ignriuimity,
did not him at hi* actual position, which wa* that
of tnysttttior. Ho Ikon wont back and joined
his brigade, which was then in the orchard. lie
wa* to occupy tho viliuve after we marched out.
A few minute* beforo U o'clock Kitay'* brigade
marched out. Two of Gadwalader's regiment*
followed. The other two, which wero iu thu fur
ther extremity of thu villago, and with very diffi
cult ground, not being ready, Gen. Cadwalader
undertook to remain and bring them up in time.
Major Dimmick with my brigadu, followed the
two !ir*t regiment* of (ion. Cadwalador, mid the
latter followed Dimmick with Ids two other regi-
iiiculv. Owing to the extrema difficulty of uiu
path, itjook u* three hour* before Riley's brigade
f ot into position iu rcur of tho enemy'* works.—
I had beeu broad daylight sometime before we
got there. A* the enemy had a grout deal of car-
airy about their posifi i. Riley waa ordered to
•ttftcItintwaeoUuuas and to deploy whan the
MUire of the ground onld permit him. Cad*
walader'a brigade ha been intended to make
fret towards Santa Ai ••*. I£,»*• moved to the as

lla was so flir ufiftbat it was evident wo had
nothing to tear'from any uioveiiienilia could
make. Just a* Riley's eoUtnn was formed for at

cia's position up toward* tlie Mountain*. As thoy
might ill that way (Back lUloy on Ids right flank,
amine it was no longer necessary to pay any at

rear, nnd the other Ml Ids left flnuk. This ordor
was cnmnmnicatedU) tho senior officer, who
marched with tho twiflnl regiments of Cadwala-
dor, and just at this iftment Cadwalader camo up
with the other two, hid immediately the attack
commenced. ScelnRhut there wns no necessity
for reserving any trmts to meet the force under
Santa Anna, Dimudrktas ordered to face to tlio

got to mention that tho engineer company end
Rifles were thrown upd RUuy’s left and front,
under the brow of the iill, to cloar hi* front of
the enemy’s skirmishers.. Tho whole of the ene
my's work* an4 position was carried at one
sweep. A go#d many of he ftigitivns were in
tercepted by lie. position la'd by Shield* on the
road. After directing the wtillery, pack mules,

while Shields' brigade was directed to tako charge

other officers who tAen came up. As the Rifles
nnd 3d Infantry Regiment moved out of tho vil

tack*.. witness lam sarrated, was witue.s influ
enced iu any one of them by any known plan of
Mqj. Gen. Billow, or did any oificercUe or allude
in couversutiou nt tlio time, iu any manner to uuy
pluu or known view of the said Pillow I
A.—Nothing of. the kind.
Q.—Did the witness ehnuca to note tho hour at
which tho victory at Contreras was rendered com.
pluto I
A.—I looked nt iny watch nt tlio time? it was
either 20 minute* after 0, or 20 minute.* beforo7
o'clock. It was 20 minutes after tho otto hour,
or 20 minutes before the other—I do not exuctly
know which..
Q.—About what timo in tho night did tho brig
ade of Gen. Shields reach the Imtnlet, nnd of what
importance did witness consider tlio presence of
said brigade tin th® filth of August!
A.—About 10 o'clock, when Lieut. llnminond
reported. The presence of that brigndo was of
great importance, in my opinion, at tho time. In
marching out to tho attack iu tlio morning in the
face of suuta Anna’s force, I considered it of tlio
highest importance to leave a strong force iu flic
village; that wav the key of tho whole movement,
nnd I could not sp ire a sufficient force before
Gou. Hhioldx arrived to occupy it properly. For
inxtnnco, if Santa Anna should Imvo moved into
the villago when wo moved out, he would hare
f ull us in a worse poritiou than we had put Va-
encis; and ntniiy rule secure his own retreat ami
thnt of Valencia to the city, and would have be.
eomo muster of the piaiii road which we then
hold.
QnettioHt hy Prfence,—Docs the witness know
to whose divisi *.ho howitzers and Magnifier's
battery buluug.. fct hy whoso orders they wero
thrown forward M
A.—Thoy bcini%ed, l heliova to Gen. Pillow’*
division; and liln not know fiy whoso ordor thoy
were thrown forward from tho rear. Thoy
were moving forward utulnr <icnci.il Twigga’
orders nt the timo I referred to ono of the car
riages sticking fast in the wall. 1 do not know
from whom ho received hi* order*.
Q.—Previously to the arrival of Gen. Seott on
the field ou the i'Jlh August, who wa* tho scuior
officer then on tho Hold, and responsible for tho
disposition of the forces f
A —Tho senior officer that I saw on tlie field
wo* Gun. Billow. Tho only ordor 1 got that day
was from Gen. Twigs*, to move to support
Magruder's Imttery. Whoever made tho dispo
sition* was responsible for thuut. 1 do not now
spank of tho principle, but of the facts. The
presumption i* tho sonior officer direct* tho dis
positions, and is responsible for thorn.
Q.—When you urrived nt tho viltagcs of F.n-
suldo and (Jeronimo oil tho lUtli August, didyou
Hud Col. Riley nml Gcu. Cadwalador iu posse*,
slott of tltoKu villages, aud had thu former already
repulsed a largo cavalry force; and ftlio latter
chocked a large Mexican forco timler Sauta
Anna 1
A.—I found Gon. Cadwalador in possession of
tho villago. I could not find Col. Riley; it appears
he had gone through it and had moved farther
up toward* Valencia's position. I (eared in re
gard to tho cavalry, from Col. Riley, that ho had
repulsed a largo body of tlio enemy’s cavalry,
und killed Geu. Fruiitora, at tho upper omi of tho
village, towards Vnleccia, and fluffing tho enemy
too strong, was,** ho reported to me, oil Ids way
hack to tho pcdrigal,not knowing there wero otli.
er troops over. I cuuceivo that taking posses-
sioti of tho village wa* an important move
ment. It did not tnterpo*a any obstacle, as tlie
road wa* open yets though it did not prevent hi*
joining Valencia,it had such influence upon Santa
Anna u* to prevent Ids throwing himself into Va
lencia's camp, lest otir army should be interposed
between Idin and tlie cnpital. Holding the vil
lage ought to have so influenced Santa j\nita as
to prevent hint from throwing himself ouisido of
tlio villugc, in respect to tlio capital. I found
Gon. Cadwalader already in po*a.-'**!on of the
right flank of the village, frontiug what was dauta
Anna’* than front.
Q.—Had the forco tinder Santa Anna been
brought to a stand bclbro you got to tho villago 1
A—Yes, sir, formed perpendicularly to the
road before 1 reach it aud then moved around
parallel to it, uftor I gut thero.
Q.—Suppose Santa Anna, with Id* forces, had
taken nos*c*.*ion of tilt* village beforo it wa* oc
cupied by our troops, could you have taken pos
session of it, considering tho difficulties of tho
ground and other obstacle.*?
A.—It i* impossible to say wont yon could do.
It could not have boon done without a very great
loss. If it had beon well defended it could not
have baou done.
Q.—As you regnrd tho possession of tho village
as n key to tho operations of the 20th,will the wa
ne** say whether lie doe* not regard it* posses
sion ou thu 10th as ensuring the success of tlie
operation* on tho morning of the 20th 1
A.—The whole operation on tho 20th was bas
ed upon the possession of the village. Tho whole
plan of attack on the 20th wa* formed after the
poH-ieHxion of tlm villago was secured, nml was
founded upon thnt; hut tho propor attack, in my
opinion was on Santa Anna, a* was intended the
evening before; that is the proper attack for ono
being in ’tho situation I was In. Tho attack on
Valencia'was determined upon merely n* an alter
native. because the night oflorndmo tits menus of
reaching hi* position with certainty, und thu dark
ness had prevented its taking the first.
Q —Did you consider the position of Col. Ri-
lay nnd (Jolt. Cadwalador ns taken hy chance,nml
if not, under whose order* did you sttppnao they
wero acting f
A.—I suppose Col. Riley went over there by
Geu. Twiggs’ order*, having seen him fopnrato
Irotn tno at the time Magruder’s battery moved to
tho front. 1 never knew who sent Geu. Cadwal-
uder; 1 presumed, of course, he was ordered
there.
Q.—Did not witnoss hear the orders of Mai.
Gon. Billow alluded to, iu conversation, hy Col,
Riley nml Gen Cadwalader, or other otlicers, whb
ocoupied tho villago or neighborhood, before lie
reached it l Will witness state whether tho po
sition of thesa troops did not cause hint to sup-
posa that the object was to uttacU tho rcur or flank
of Valencia's panitmu I
A.—I thought that the wltolo movement of
tints* troops wa* in conformity with Gon. Scott’*
older, in the morning, to push acror*, and gut
pussuK.iioit of the Sau Angel road; aud lhattliuse
troops wero therein conformity with that hrder.
When I got over, and Col. Riley joined me, I
found 1 bad about 34JOO man, in tha face of 15000
or 20000; and I occupied tuyaelf with the meant
of defeating them, without thinking what had
'brought us thore, except the general object of
getting possession of tho road to tho eity; and I
cannot say onr object was to maks an attack
upon particular points lit flank or rtar.but to gel
a.goop poaition on tlie road,from which to cltuoso
points of attack. -
r -Q.—Witness will slate whether he did not tin-
derrteud that a battle waa being fought, on the
10th of August; and that the object waa to dis
lodge thu enemy and gel possession of the road
across the pcdregalf
A.—I know nothing of a road across tlie ped-
regal. 1 know that the enemy were opposing
our passage across the nedregal f and that it was
our object to dislodge them, to get possession of
tho San Angel road. I know nothing of a road
across tho pudregal.
Q.—Being iu that position could yon have
attacked tire enemy's cump except in flank or
roar I
A.—I don't think I should have attacked it, un
less in flunk or rear, as it was done. I would
noHiave attempted to do it. I cannot ssy tlio
thing was impossible; 1 might have done it; but
! should net have thought it prudeut. I may
have made a great error in attacking it in tlie
rear/, and if I had had an hour moro of daylight,
I should have attacked Santa Anna; aud, having
dufuuted him, Valencia's position would have
liillen of course.
Q.—Wero not all the movement* of the
10th of August last, as well as those of tlio morn
ing ofthe 20th. made in conformity with Gun.
Siutti'* general order to gaiu the Ban Angel road!
A.—As far tut I was concerned, they were, as
fnr a* 1 knew, in conformity witli a verbal order
of one af Gen. Scott's turn to gaiu tha Sun An-
S al road. Tlio verbal order was more in detail
inn the written order directing the baggage to
be left behind and in reference to the movement of
the wagons, etc., and that wc wero to turn the
poNiliou of Sail Antonio by seizing the S.m Am
O'- 1 *-4tnd.etc, 'Pinwi^
extract—less 111 datud. 1 .don't think I ever «uw
this order—[tlie gcu oral order havitig been hand
ed to him. J
Q.—If a battle was to he th«ro, aud was then
being fought, did tho witness viippono that thu
troop* hud gono forward without the order* of
the senior olficer charged with puttiug those
troops on the San Angel road?
A.—I novor knew who was charged with any
such movement. I know that I hud gone over
there in conformity wtyh Gen. Scott's order* of
the morning. Icon only say that 1 thought the
other troops were moving in conformity with
Gen. Scott’s order of that morning also: through
what intermediate, or rather immediate officer
we received his o.dors, 1 did not know. It was
impossible, from thu nature ofthe grouud, to sec
who was the commanding olficer.
Q.—Did tho roconnnitering otficers.Cnpt. Can-
by and Lieut. Tower, accompany Col. Uiloy’s
command, and tuako their recotitioUsances be-
bofore ynft Imd crowed tlie pedrcgal and was
their reooniioi*sancc* made irrespective of your
ordor* l
A.—In company with Col. Rlloy they crossed
tlie pcdrogol, and I believe they recomioitored
tlio position; and they brought uio tho inelli-
g enue, after Col. Riley had reported to mi. L
eliuve Uio recomioiasuoca was timdo before I got
ever.
iiucsiions by Prosecution.—Tlio witness has
said thnt Muj. Gou. Billow overtook tlie witness
whilo tho latter and Gen. Twiggs were in pursuit
of the cuemy about Ban AngoT. How far U that
place from tlio introuehed camp.
A.—Between two and n hall* nnd three miles,
I think, is the distauco to the nearest end of Suu
Angel.
U.—Tho witness, to a question put tn him.
has suul that the presumption is. that the principal
ordor* oiqtlio ticl.l aro given by tho senior officer.
May not such presumption be contradicted hy
fuct* ? uml so far as uuy plans or views or order’s
of Mnj. Gon. Billow are concerned, is not such
presumption contradicted in the case of these
operation* on the iUtlt aud 2QUi of August last?
A.—Tho presumption may of course ho con
tradicted hy (bet* in every caao. With rognrd to
all my movement* aftor tukiug n position along
side of Magnifier'* battery, all those movements
were directed by myaelf; I being tho senior offi-
’{th those “‘ *
was to nippoft Col. ftilay T If Col. Itiley had
I ceil recalled, would witness have returned un%
dor those instructions also ?
A.—I would not have been sent. It was after
the officer with the order for tlie recall of Col.llj.
ley had returned that I waa eetit. I supposed, at
the tints, I was sent in consequence of tint offi.
eer's not being able to teach Col. Riley. I was
directed to perform the tame duties which 1 was
told Col. Riley had been sent to perform; and if
tlio order for the recall hud been subsequently
given, I suppose It would have been sent to me
nsteud of to Col. Riley.
Q.—On being ordered to follow tip Riley's
brigade, on the lihh of August last, nnd a* armor
officer oncoming up with that brigade, had the
witness precise instruction* to attack the enemy's
left flank, or the rear of the flank, or to occupy
tlie village, or to take any other definite position
er did the witness march with any definite pluu of
operations received from Major Gen. Billow t or
in other words, did tlie witness, as senior officer,
conceive himself at liberty to make his own plans
and modify them according to circumttanco* ?
A.—Tho instruction* were general, nnd I did
detui myself authorized to take any position I
deemed most advantageous, or auy measures I
thought best.
The court then adjourned to Weduosday
morning.
C'arrsijKimlnnce of tha Utils.
Vena Cttoz, April 3.1848
Information was received hero on Saturday
tho 1st iust., that Gen. Santa Anna had arrive'
dial day, with hi* lady and daughter, at his haci
enda at Antigua, 23 miles from hero, escorted by
Cant. Tilplnnnn, (of tho Light Artillery, District
of Columbia and Marylnud Ucgimeut.) witli 50
tnon, and Santa Anna’s Lancers, numbering 100.
At 10 o'clock yesterday, your humble servant,
witli three others, proceeded to pay our respects,
Ac. After riding at a test pace for two hours,
we arrived at the river Antigun, at which place
wo entered a unrrow path uud continued our
paco through the chapnrrcl until we arrived at a
■mall village, and were informed tho one opposite
cor present wtt
. ... movements, reviving
order* from nobody and being in communication
with uo superior officer; except Gen. SMolds, I
saw no senior olficer until the arrival of Gen
Twiggs; Geu Shield* did uot assume tho com
tiiuiid.
U.—lias tlio witness any roason to bcliev* thnt
any reinforcements were thrown into Valencia's
camp before the arrival of witness, or after hi* ur-
rivul at the village of Etisaldo ?
A.—I do not recollect: I saw a sumll pnrtv
in v nj between Sun aAngauiid Valet ci i, liutit
piobubly wa* a party sent forward to reconnoitre
the ravine iu front of Santa Anna'* position,
returning to him. It was so dark that I could not
100.
Q.—Is it not a military principle that whf*re
general orders ore given the details must be filled
out hy subordinates?
A.—Undoubtedly.
Geu. C'adwuludur called by special ordor of tlie
conn for tlio defence.
Gon. Scott objected lo his being called nt this
tune as hi* cross-cxuiniiiutiou hud lieeti closed
Uo did uot object to tlio witness’* being reoullcd,
but at this time be bud n witness waiting. Ho
hogged that hw motion and the decision of the
court might go on tlio record. Tho court suid it
would cousuUr it, but decided to call him.
Questions by defonco.—Tho witness iius said
on lit* examinution that ho expressed his opposi
tion to tho Tacuhaya armistice. Did the witness
understand (hat Geu. Pillow was opposed to said
nrmisttco, because we surrender tha advuntuges
wo hud guinod without uuything iu return?
A.—At the time of the conversation, which
was previous to a knowledge ofthe term* ofthe
armistice, no reference could hnvo beeu bad to
the terms of what wo kuew nothing about, as
tlie commissioner* had uot thou met. At the'
time neither of tts understood what the armistice
wa* to be. Gen. Billow ccrteiuly did object to
ntty armistice that did uot givo u* decided udvuu-
tago us an equivalent.
U.—Did tho witness understand,or not, that wr
ought not to grant tho armistice unless Cltnpulte-
pee or tho capital wa* surrendered?
A.—I do not remember; I know nothing of
my own knowledge. I cannot romembor now the
oxact stipulation Gen. Billow thought should be
insisted upon: I know ho contended fur muteri
al advantages.
Gen. Billow romarked, ho hoped tho court
would remember that he wa* charged with telse-
hood on this very point.
Gen. Seott rose and said, ho hnpod tho court
would remember that ho chanced yesterday to
make n similar remark, and ho was rebuked by
tlio court for having prompted a witness.
Q.—In your former examination yon said that
you did not hear Gen. Billow tnako reference to
any reinforcements coming un from the city, iu
his orders to you. Say whether you have mi nee
refreshed your memory, by reference to a written
memoranda by yourself, and what tlmt was?
A.—I now recollect that I hod a reference to
nny reinforcement* that might come up from the
capital, which I did not remember before. Thero
was a reference to intercepting any reinforce
ments spoken of, us having beeu given to Col.
Riley, and which ( was to fiillow.
Q.—Were Santa Anna’s reinforcements chock
ed hy your command bclbro Gen. Smith reached
Ensnldo?
A.—Thoy were outirclv so,and had been so for
hall an hour
Q.—llad you, previously to tho arrival of Gon.
Smith, uindn your disposition* to receive Snutn
A own; and was nny change iu those disposition*
made after tha arrival of (Ten. Smith ?
A.—I had established my command in poaition
to roMtst the forces under Santa Auna, and no
change in that position took plnco until Colonel
Mnrgnn s regiment reinforced me. when 1 moved
my command a sufficient distauco round tho vil-
Ijige to givo him n position on tho lino which I do-
lunded; and I do not recollect subsequently hav
ing changed that position—certainly not materi
ally—having occupied tho wall and maguey bush-
os surrounding tno exterior of tho village—tlio
] Itli mid Voltigour Rogimont* teeing thu north,
nnd tlie 14th nml Ifitli Regiment* teeing in tlio di
rection of ttnn Angel. Tho wall spoken of was a
very low one.
Q.—- If Santa Antin’* forces had not been cheek
ed by your command, would thoy uot have reach
ed tlio villago, und prevented Gen. Smith from
reaching it t
A.—They certainly would have done so if Col.
Riley, who wns further advanced than I was. had
not checked them. If this lutd not beon done,
Santa Anna would have passed into the village.
Col. Itiley was on the other sido of tlio villago.

tha river, and rode to the only brick nouso in tlie
place, and found, on our entrance, the Senorn
Santa Anna smoking a cigarito. We were in
troduced by Capt. Tilghinan. Bottom Santa
Anna was very plainly and simply dressed iu
figured muslin, with very short sleeve.*. She
wore no ornaments of any kind, except a very
small watch and a costly chain. Sho is very
handsome, of a light complexion, and evidently
no more than UO year* of age. Tho Geuortd,
being ut the time iu bed. could uot be disturbed.
So wo had to remain until four o'clock, the hour
appointed for his appearance.
As we had to wait un hour, wo otijoyed the in
terim by walking through the villuge. Nut t

armed with sword*, shaped like a carving knife.
On our return the General was up and dressed;
Uo received us with much courtesy, and said be
received more kindness and attention, from the
American* in adversity, titan from his own
countrymcu. He wo* dressed iu a brown linen
frock coat, white pant*, vest*, aud nock cloth,and
a pair ofpnliuhod boot*—the ono on tlio cork-leg
was a tight fit. Capt. Titgbam read the article
iu thu Delta, (which 1 carried along) of tlie revo
lution iu Parif, which wn* immediately transla
ted by a Lteut, present. The General merely
shook his head, nnd made no comments. He is
vary nuxioiis to leave the country, and inquired
if wo had observed a brig at the mouth of the
river, which is to take hint to Jamaica. Being
answered in tho negative, lie presented Ui bis
goldsuud’ box. Wa helped ourselves, shook
hand* with him nnd his lady, nt ths same time pre
sented her a bouquet, wishing them n pleasant
passage, Ac. wo mounted to return homo.
