BANKRUPT LAW.
The Whigs do not pretend to deny that Henry
Clay is the FATHER of the infamous Bankrupt
Law.--[Bedford Gazette, March 1844.
HEXIIT CLAT ORIGINATED the Bankrupt
Law—he voted fur it—and he prevented its repeal
by his own vote.—[Redford Gazette, Sep. 20, 1844.
Gen. JAMEN NV, is the FATHER of the
Bankrupt Law.—[Medford Gazette, Aug. 6, 1847.
Liars should have good memories.- 1
It was proclaimed from one end of the
State to the other in 1844 that HENRY
CLAY WAS THE FATHER OF TIIE BANK-
RUPT LAW. It was rung in the ears
of the people of Bedford County during
the entire campaign, and yet, with an
•'impudence and effrontery which could
be looked for only from those the most
degraded and abandoned, the people are
assured, with as much solemnity as if
such a thing as lying were never dream
ed of or suspected, that General IRVIN
is the FATHER of that Law!!! This
is no random assertion, for we have re
ferred to the documents which substan
tiate it. But even if we had not refer
red to them, the fact is so well remem
bered that the mere mention of it would
have served our purpose. How men
can pursue a course so grossly inconsis
tent—outraging every thing like truth
and fair dealing—is a mystery to us.—
The people have not forgotten the cam
paign of 1844, and it is not even proba
ble that they will listen to the same
story twice told of different men. It is
an insult to the intelligence of the peo•
ple to say that the Bankrupt Law had

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO,
RESUMPTION OF HOSTILITIES
-FAILURE OF NEGOTIATIONS
—ANOTHER BATTLE FOUGHT.
BALTImont, IStpt. 30 3 9 P. M.
. .
An extra from the oltice of the Mobile
Tribune, dated Sept. 26th ; received by
the poney express this evening ; announ
ces the arrival at Pensacola of the brig
Osceola, on the evening of the 81st,
after a passage of five days from Vera
Cruz.
The Tribune is indebted to a passeti
ger from Pensacola for a Vera Cruz Sun
of Anahuac of the 16th, and also for a
letter from Pensacola. Verbally the
Tribune also learns that there has been
a revolt at Puebla, and that Gen. Scott
there and at the City of Mexico, had
lost two thousand men.
The Tribune says :
Hostilities recommenced on the even
ing of the Bth September, when our
troops had a brush with the pick of the
Mexican troops.
The following letter is to the Sun of
Anahuac :
PUEBLA, Sep. 11, 184.7.
My Dear Sun—l promised before I
left Vera Cruz, two months ago, that I
would from time to time, if I was forte•
nate enough to get news, to drop you a
few lines,
1 hope these will be victoriously pas
sed through the chapparal, mosquitoes,
&c., and what are worse, the guerillas
of Cerro Gordo, Puente National, and
all the montes and hiding places of these
desperate men.
Letters arrived here from Allixio, sta
ting that an express had arrived on its
way to Oajaca, sent by General Scott,
and that it brought letters from the City
of Mexico dated the 9th inst.
These letters stated that the propos'•
tions made by Mr. Trist were rejected,
or at least one portion of them, and that
hostilities had recommenced on the after
noon of the Bth, and that a battle had
been fought that evening by a few hun
dred men from Gen. Scott's army against
four of the picked regiments of the Mex
ican army—the 11th Regiment of the
Line, the 3d and 4th Regiments of Light
Infantry, and one Regiment of the Na
tional Guarcl, all commanded by General
Leon—that the enemy's forces had been
badly used up, and that their loss ex
ceeded 2600 men.
The letters say that Mr. Trist's prop-
ositions were these : " That the citizens
of the United States would not have any
thing to claim from Mexico for damages
occasioned by the war. That the Uni
ted States would have the privilege of
establishing two factories in Upper Cal
ifornia for eight years, and that the Mex
ican Government could after that time
if it chose renew this article of the treaty.
This was not accepted ; then Mr.
Trist unclothing himself of his official
powers, remarked to the Mexican Com
missioners that he thought it would be
much better for Mexico to cede the whole
of Upper California to the United States,
for which that Government would cer
tainly pay 15 to 20,000,000 of dollars.—
This would have been probably agreed
upon had the following article met with
assent from the Mexicans, viz :—That
the Texian boundary line should run
along from the mouth of the Rio Grande
on the left side to the right side of the
Rio Gila ; but this last proposition was
rejected.
'The Mexicans would not yield an inch
of ground the other side of the , Nueces.'
Mr. Trist then asked 45 days, as he
said he was not authorised to accept
such a proposition; but the reply of the
Mexicans was that they would give but
five days and no more.
On the sth day, the 7th inst. a letter
was written by Santa Anna to Gen. Scott
accusing him of breaking the armistice
on some trifling pretext. Gen.-Scott an
swered by bringing a similar charge.
On the Bth, in the afternoon, a body
of a few hundred men of Gen. Scott's
army were sent to attack Chapaltepec.
They encountered a large force of the
enemy's best troops there, and a terrible
fight ensued, in which the Mexicans got
as usual a good thrashing. Gen. Leon,
who commanded the Mexicans, was
wounded, and Gen, Balderas, of the Nu
tional Guard, was killed,
The small number of the Americans
(whom the Mexican letters say—to use
their own expressions—" have fought
like devils") retired to Tacubaya, leav
ing five wagons behind them, some of
which had no wheels, others no horses.
The American loss is said to have
been comparatively small.
A Proclamation or manifesto was is•
sued by Gen. Herrera, Governor of the
city of Mexico, recommending to the
citizens, men, women and children, to
collect and carry stones to the roofs of
the houses and throw them from thence
upon the Americans, should they enter
the city.
[Correspondence of the Herald and Tribune, Pen-
Nicola, Sept. 23, 1847.]
The brig Osceola, Capt. Smith, arri
ved at the Navy Yard here last evening—
after a passage of five and a half days,
from Vera Cron, and brings /ate and un
favorable news from the army of Gen
eral Scott,
It seems hostilities were renewed on
the Bth, Santa Anna and Gen. Scott hav
ing mutually charged each other with a
violation of the Armistice, and by the
last accounts our troops had possession
of two streets, and had driven the prin•
cipal part of the Mexican fente in order
towards thu Plaza• Our Woopa had
suffered greatly from tha fire of the en
emy
placed in windows and on the tops
of houses, and Gen Worth was badly
but not mortally wounded. Our loss
since leaving Puebla was three thousand
men.
Mr. Trist's proposition for a cession
of a portion of California for a consider
ation of twenty 'pillions, had been
agreed to by the Mexican Commission
ers; but another proposition fixing the
Rio Grande as the boundary line on this
side, Was peremptorily refused.
Paredes was said to be on the road
between Vera Cruz. and Mexico with a
large forea of guerillas.
The Suit of the 16th says :—Troops
have been arriving in great numbers
from the Brazos during the last five or
six days, and we do not doubt that with
in five or six days more there will be
from two to three thousand men ready
to march into the interior. These ac-
I counts are derived front the Sun of An
ahuac of the 16th inst.,
and brought by
the Osceola, and verbal communications
from Mr. Dimond to the Captain at the
moment of leaving.
I have no doubt they may be relied on
essentially. This news reached Vera
Cruz by the Oraziba route.
I am very respectfully your obedient
servant, D. 1
