They are in a most wretched condition, and will be at Furt Gaines about the 16th next month.

ROUSSEAU. paper of the 8th inst. in reply to my remarks on the affirmation on the 25th ultimo, which they now acknowledge, mum, would have done them much more credit, than their dignified appeal to the “ apologists” of general Jackson. Let it be admitted, that there did appear before the court, aud is still upon the records of that court, either a charge or specification exhibited by general Jackson, that does nut change my ne gative of their aspersion. li General Jackson himself ordered the arrest and trial of col. Brear- ley”—I contend that the position assumed by me in your paper of the 1st inst. is tenable. The arrest tuok place in March, and it was not known that there would he additional charges, Scr.—Of this colonel Brearley was ignorant until he reach ed Fort Scott in June to be arraigned ; this infer ence was not deilucible from their manner of ex pression, and were 1 willing to make any deduc tions from their composition, 1 should believe, that this, like other unfounded calumnies which have been sent abroad, through the medium of their paper against that meritorious officer, was ntended, by comparison, to operate on the minds of the people, and therefore, give currency to their previous and subsequent abuse, of a man whose worth they are unconscious of. Plain Truth will assure the editors of that very “ inde pendent press,” that they view him in an impro per character ; he disclaims being one of the apo logists of general Jackson—his object was to de tect misrepresentation, not to learn whether their motives were criminal; they must believe, that general Jackson has nothing to fear, and I nothing to dread. 1 cannot judge of the motives of men in any other way than by their acts and expres sions. I will conclude by suggesting to the editors of the Journal, the propriety of informing them selves in relation to the usages of the army, ami particularly the regulations governing in general courts martials ; this will obviate the unpleasant duty of imposing or attempting on the communi ty the effusions of their own imagination and fancy, for matters of fact. As I obseryed before, the law upon this subject admits of but one con struction, and that is simply this, that the com manding general was bound in the discharge of his duty to order the court. Plain Truth can be known at any moment on application to Mr. IIine9, if his style and can dor offends ; he has never been disposed to re main incog to any person whose feelings he may perchance have wounded ; motives which he does not feel disposed to disclose at this time, has in duced him to appear (where lie will not be again found) before the public under an assumed sig nature.
