o. 1t is with blendd feelings of modification
and disgust, that we witness the course pursued
by our Little Rock contemporaries, in regard to
COL Rome and Capt. Pike. They are to blame
ior suffering themselves to be made the medium
OF such disgraceful quarreling. The actions of
those officers, the battle field, will speak loud
or than cords, and it is useless for the friends Of
either party, to attempt to create any particular
public sentiment. If Roane has sustained himself
We will know it, from Gen. WooI's report, the best
source; ard no letters rob him Of his meri-
ted fame. If he has not, all the letters writ
ten from the army, for effect, will not convince US
to the contrary.


If Pike behaved as good soldier, no
statements Of letter writers viii nvail to suIIy
his rcpuation, against the report Of the gallant
Col. May. The letter from member of the
Crawford company, published in the last Banner,
is the counterpart of one written to this place.
which we refused to publish, bccaus" we be lie, ed
that the sole object of the writer was to pull one
man. n nd 10 degrade another, and because his
statements would have no force, but expose him
to ridicuIc when set up against those Of the great
Hero Of Buena Vista. That writer says Capt
Pike was not in the ba tile Of Bucna Vista; and
Cen Tay or, in his report, says he 'cas there. Who
arc to believe, old Rough and Ready, or this
malignant scrbbIer?


Capt. Pike is no favori:e of ours we shall ever
cschcw his political doctrines. but fhe las by his
'cfiiccnt service in the army, rnerted fav
orabIc opinion Of him soldier, will not
withhold it,


he is a IFhig.
