The American Prisoners in Mexico.

4nO AIAGEACdn EEASOuOES MEXICO
We have hitherto refrained from remarking
upon this very exciting subject, for want of
some facts or information that could be relied
on. We have read the statement of Mr.. F.
Coombs, son of Gen'l Coombs, of Kentucky.
which gives history of the occurrences. so
far as our government and our citizens are
concerned. The narrative is exciting in the
extreme, and naturally suggests the inquiry
whether the government of the U. States is
thus to be triaed with by a cowardly tribe of
lazy, inhuman assassiDs, who are in common
parlance dignifed by the name of nation !;
and whether or no the savage brutality of
the "generaLs' and " dictators'' of Mexico,
who are half civilized, is to meet just and
proper chastisement! Are our citizens to be
enslaved by the slaves of savages, or are they
to be protected by our government! Coombs
was an American citizen, within the folds of
the flag. By no rules of international law
could he be regarded as TeriGn prisoner.
The conduct of our Minister appears most
disgracefuI. Butwhat else could be expected
of Powhattan Ellis? Independent of any
thing here stated, we know him to be the
--latest man living: utterly unfit for anything
but to eat, drink and sleep. He lies in bed

Theatre.

The few plays that we have seen enacted
by the theatrical company who are at present
performing in this place, have given general
satisfaction to the small portion of the COM
munity by whom they have been witnessed.
1t is impossible for an actor or actress to for
chilly portray character when there are but
few persons present to witness the represen-
tation, and it is astonishing laboring as the
members of this company have done, not on
ly under this disadvantage, but others, how
they have been enabled to throw into their
respective parts suficency of the spirit of
acting to draw forth roar of laughter for
the comic muse, or feeling of sympathy for
the deeper scenes o. tragedy.-Mrs Burke
plays admirably; indeed, we doubt if there
are any actresses in the theatres of the differ
emit cities Of the Union, that can excel if e.
ven equal her performance of many parts
She is as good general actress as we have
ever seen, and the best, by far, that has ever
graced the stage in this town. Mrs. Thomp
eon is also an excellent actress, competent tt
play any line of business in the range of the
drama, and this lady likewise sings sweetly
Mr.. Anderton plays such parts as Maste
Walter in 'the Hunchback,' &c. with gooC
Judgment and effect. Mr.. Thompson is ad
miraby adapted to personate the juveniles o
tragedy, possessing handsome face, sym
metrica. form, and being withal good ACTOR
Mr.. Crew is at home in any and every thing

RumOrs of war.

Nearly every exchange paper received by
the mails of late, contains more or less COM
ment on the subject of War with our an
cient enemy, Great Britain. Nearly all too,
hold forth belief that nothing short of war
is consistent with the honor and dignity of
our nation. There are many questions of
difference existing between the two Govern
ments, some of which, we think, can never
be amiCably adjusted. The insults the Amer
lean flag has received on the open seas from
the epauletted hirelings of the British gov
eminent have enkindled fame of just re-
sentiment in the hearts Of our gallant tars,
that is now spreading throughout the nation,
its contagious influence extending to the boz
som of every American, and heating feelings
similar to those possessed by our revered and
brave forefathers against the tyrannical OPP
pressors of the days of seventy six! Feelings
of luminosity that have for some years past
lain dormant in the hearts of all of both ma
tons, and on the part of Americans, might
have slumbered forever, are now being fear
fully awakened, and will not be lulled To
sleep again save by the lingering, dying
echoes of the loud -mouthed cannon. The
domineering nrAoo. of tire British Government
in relation to the Negro mutineers of the
brig Creole, has created difficulty which
we think, cannot be Peacably settled. The
United States will demand Of Great Britain
immediate indemnifcaton;- Great Britain
never will indemnify, and war is our only
alternative. The Boundary Question anC
the Mcleod Affair furnish firth other stron.
incentives for the commencement of hostii
ties on the part of the Government of tn,
United States; and, considering the nature
of the several difficulties when viewed a.
they really exist, we cannot but come tt
the conclusion that war against England i,
inevitable. There are some faint rumor
afoat, at present, of war also between Mex
leo and the United States; but Mexico sure
ly cannot be SO stupidity ignorant of her OWL
imbecility as to form the slightest idea o
coping with us in arms.-The Mexicans viii
find they have enough to engage their at
tention and keep them busy in the Texans
At all events we hope to see measures adopt
ed promptly and decisively at the seat O
Government, relative to our differences will
each Of these nations, and if we needs mus
wage war against both Jet us fight both
click both-and have done.

Mr.. Clay,-His Enemies.

The base accusation of the enemies of Mr..
Clay, of his being indirectly the cause of the
death of Mr.. Cilley, in the unfortunate rem
contre that took place between Mr.. Graves
and Mr., G. proves to be like all the accusa-
tons of dishonor that we have ever seen in
print against this great statesman, mali
cious in the extreme, and possessing scarce
a shadow of foundation. The man on whom
relied the vile slanderers of Henry Clay's
good name, turns from the miscreants with
disgust, and Immediately destroying all their
hopes of a corroboration on his part of the
wicked charge, vindcates every word and
action of Mr.. Clay relative to the part un-
willingly taken by him in that much lament
ed affair, and emphatically pronounces him
innocent of the charges made against him by
these vile calumniators. These charges
were undoubtedly gotten up and brought
before the public as servants to a set of cor
rupted and intriguing politicians. Men who
TO gain their own ambitious ends would not
hesitate to promuIgate the most willful false
hoods against their nearest political friends,
even were they nearest of their kin. This
is but the first of series of ISLANDERS that will
make their successive appearance through
the medium of hired presses previous to the
next Presidential contest; but they are
doomed to fall back with their i'll effects on
their originators and ultimately crush them
to the earth under the pressure of their long
accumulated calumny. They will eventu-
ally add brighter lustre to the name of HENRY
CLAY, serving to place him on that pinnacle
of glory, so justly his, the height from which
the chosen ruler of free and Independent
People, looks anxiously down, and watches
with lynx-like eye the interests and wei
fare of their unrivalled Republic. Henri!
Clay, like the rest of mankind, has his faults
but, we believe, with a large majority of tn
people of the Union, the weaknesses of the
MAN are lost in the brilIiancy that surround
him as faithful, patriotic STATESMAN. From
his retirement at Ashland, he will one day b
called by the loud voice of the American
People.-Heaven grant it.
