cessani, while from hlll just outside the range oi heir guns, the spectacle was most grand and imposing. About o'clock Gen. Scott arrived"

 Gens. Pillows and Twiggs' divisions operating together, and lhe former being the ranking officer, by whom, we ask, was ,be brigade of Gen. Smith ordered 10 advance?' from whom did Col Riley receive borders to gain ihe main road" &c? by whom was Capt. Magruder pressed forward" &c.2 by whom was the brigade of Gen. Cadwalader order. ed out 10 support Col. RiIey7"

 Of course Mir. Kendall did not think il necessary 10 add by whom these va- rious orders were given. Flat would be stretch of impartalty and magnan-

 unity too great even for so authentic a historian as Mir. Kendall. But still there IS some sense in the world, and everybody knows that, from his superb or rank and the absence of Gen. Scott. who was ten miles of, that these orders could have been giUen omly by Gen. PiI- foio. Under these orders and disposi. tons, the battle seems to have been fought and gained.

 The statements, therefore, of our cor. respondent, are fully backed by Mir. Kendall. Whether such endorsement gives any additional authenticity, or cons firm ation, 10 his averments, is a point 10 which we will not hazard an opinion,

 Thus: then, the issue stands. On one side, we have the present sapienl editor of the Picaynne, who, at the very time ms battle was going on, was engaged here, at distance of 1900 miles from ihe scene of action, in the work of abu.- sing and flllfying an office who was hghiing for his county and on the oth. CT, We have "Leonidas, an officer who took an active pat in those battles, and Mir. George Wilkins Kendall, who, no doubt on these trying occasions, signal- ed h;s Valor by exploits scarcely less brilliant than those which were acknowl> edged, last winter by a resolution of our Legislature!
