SNELLING vs. HULL. Col. Snelling, of the U. S. army, has published a pamphlet containing Remarks on those parts of General Hull's Memoirs of the Campaign of 1812, which, he says, implicate the testimony he gave before the Court Martial for the trial of the General. It is addressed to the Citizens of Michigan, into which Territory he has removed his family, with an intention to reside there in future. He states his object to be, to vindicate his character to those citizens from unmerited obloquy; and "to hurl back on the calumniator, the slanders so liberally heaped upon him, and his contemporaries, in the campaign of 1812." The Colonel denies the accuracy of several of the assertions and inferences of the General; and the public can only decide between them on their merits. As we did not insert the Memoirs we are under no obligation to give circulation to the Remarks.
