A "Fire mtheRearr C7In a letter from the Washington cor. respondent of the New York Courier & Enquirer iu which the following paragraph occurs. , "I do, however, undertake to say, bv intelligence from Puebla, that if Mr. Trint had conducted the negotiation properly and placed hi despatch in the hands of General $coll ao aa to be transmitted to the Mexican governmsnt immediately after the battle of Cerro Gordo, we should hare had peace long before this period." To which the Washington Union makes the following reply: "We deem it probable that if Mr Buchanan's despatch had been transmitted to the Mexican government immediately after the battle of Cero 3ordo we should have had peace before thia period. Why it was not no transmitted is a grave question but we undertake to assert,, confidently. lhal ibis wis not the fault of Mr Trist. On tbe contrary he did every thing in his power to have it forwarded, through Gen'l Scott.' i mi , ; -1 It is necessary to say thus much in da fence of Mr. Trist. Surely no man could ever exclaim with mora truth than can Gen. Scott "Save ma from my friends." It ia staled that the coinajra at the last six months, (namely from 1st January to 1st July 1 847 .J i fl,206.S23-. far exced- ing the amount coined during; any similar period of time since tne government was founded.

Ac , by General Walter Joaea. This is n mere private controversy. L,ven if it were, the facts disclose such nt ter faithlessness in public men, and so gross an outrage upon individual riirhr, that nothing short of the most hopeless stagna tion ol public spirit could witness it wiUlout being stirred to indignation, bring inir' the cue home to every man's heart, and making it 1 ia own quarrel. I say maivulual right, because honest men and true men, all the world over, feel that there are rifihts, albeit not "so nominated ii tbe bond," which are just aa closely fastened upon the conscience and just as sacredly inviolable ' as if they bad been moulded into foR o(Lworda and jeref,i te4 Jnto ora?a ur maruie. i ney who are uncon. scious of the presence of these ''unembodj. ed spit its," of just obligation, are rarely sensible of stay other d uty than such as can be enforced 'by the gripe of the stipstafjor vindicated by the terrors of the cowskin. For a case like ihis, with actors such as these, there is no remedy but the lah of public opinion. To read the mere detail of larts, -to hear th' self told narrative presented by the mere documents them selves which form the appendix to this pamphlet, is enough to arouse every in dependent mind to publish, far and wide, the ahamelets perfidy the absolute swin dling (for it is ntiiher more nor leas) to wiiien piace ami pnwer anu puuiic "trust have been prostituted in this transaction. Put the case upon the ground upon which tbe President is officially defended; and be it remarked, there hos been no volun teer voice raised in his defence . Say there wit no express promise of the commission to Mr. Jones, . Can any thing be clearer than that those who meant to use this batlallion, either to re w aid an adherent or lo wound a dissenter, not only stood by n I saw Mr. Jones lavishing his energies and with rare public spirit expending thous ands of dollars in recruiting, clothing and feeding the men who were to compose it, but by positive and chs ar. affiinati y e, , acta, encouraged him to proceed? ' And all' the- Aime, a it i no w shamefully -avowed, having' pre-determined his inexorable exclusion from well earned honor to which alone he looked for his re ward the oppor tunity of serving hia country actively in (he field! To Mr. Jones's credit ought it to be known, that the pecuniary taciificcs lo which he submitted in raising this bat talion, were such as to place , beyond all question the complete disinterestedness and patriotism of his conduct. While ihe work dragged on slowly and with difficul ty in large and populous States, and while the idea of raising a single company within the narrow limits of, this District, now reduced to a single county, seemed to eve ry oie almost a forlon hope, . he never despaired or halted for a moment in his rnterprize. In the saddle from sunrise to sun set, with his agents in alt quarters with Ihe St. Charles Hotel thrown open, not ss a place of rendezvous merely, "but turned into a barrack man by mana tliey came in to serve under his banner and from tbe moment of their enlistment be came his chsrge and cure. Every officer selected by him wiib a judicious regard to his capacity to attract good material, and eve ry man, from the instant of his volunteering, relieved from the otherwise inevitable expos ure to theneceseiiy of seeking other means of support in me interim ui ms reception into the ub'ic servicers a member of a complete corps, no one can fait to see thai the primary and most meritorious srrvke of creating the battalion was wholly his. Nor can any body be blind to the overruling aulhot ity of an elec tion by volunteers of Ihcir own commander. expressed and ascertained by the rare , and unequivocal act of coming forward, man by man, and signing an of&cial muster-roll, binding themselves to serve under the command of "Col. Charles Lee Jones-" With what inexpressible contempt must all honest minds contemplate the hypocrisy which prates about the rights of citizen soldiers and the binding foice of elections by volunteers, and at the same time thrusts aside an election. like this, and by iron rule of martial discipline, forces upon such a corps, bo Drought within the prohibitions and penalties ol desertion, an officer of the regular- army, still holding bia commission of Captain in the Corps of Engineers! But let any man look at No. 2 of tbe sppendix, where, in ale Iter Mr. Marcy, he offers to raise tbe battalion; and No. 3, in wbich'Mr. Marcy informs him that "itis not contemplated at this time to call for addi tional troops or this description," but that, "should the stale of the war render further call for volunteers necessary, tha Depart ment will take pleasure in giving as favora ble a consideration to your (hit) patriotic offer, aa a due regard to si mil a orraai from other quarters may justify"--and say whether this is not a clearly implied prom ise that if his orraa (the battalion) should be accepted, his appointment to Ihe com mand would accompany tbe acceptance? Who would have dreamed, that while they accepted his ''fathiotic orrta to raise mA battalion for service, they meant to appoint 11 tbe officers be should present enrol his men pay the public mouey upon the dontract made by commissioners of his appointment, snd then coolly tell him thst he was a mere stronger and interloper, not entitled to be counted ia the corps of his own creation. Look a little further. ' lUad the lette of Mr. Matey, announcing to Gen. Jones that the President lias now ' decided to ACCEPT THE RERVrCESOr mv.SE COMPANIES,' &e. Put that by the side of No. 2 and No. S. Who ean understand it otherwise than the acceptance of Mr. Jones's offer!

Walter Jones, a gentleman of lofty character, in which the shameful conduct of the President and Secretary of War towards his son, Charles Lee Jones, Esq. it exposed and commented upon with just aerveriiy. Almost officially as sured, that, in the event of raising a Hat- lallion ot Volunteers, he should b sp pointed to command it, Mr. C. L. Jones, abandoning his usual occupations, devoted himself assiduously to the task in which he was eventually successful. During all this time aoerTort was made to undeceive him: indeed, so far from it, his authority was vhtuatly recognized, by the assent giien by tho War Department to certain of his acts pet formed as. the commander of the bttallion: Rut, a aoon as tha requisite number of men had been raised, he was told not only that another individu al had been selected to , command it, but that the President had never, for a moment, intended to confer the appointment upon him! There is but one sentiment in Washington cay, we learn, on the subject, andtlat ia briefly embodied in a single sentence of a letter from the correspondent in tharcity, of the N. Y. Journal of Com meice, who says: "There ia little ques tion that be (Joue) has been treated shab bily, as Southrons say, by the Government L L If . .1 wincn means aomeininir worse man mean ly."
