The PUBLIC CREDITORS nowadays are
treated by the government with great injustice.
The Sub-Treasury Law is daily violated not
only by the disbursing agents Of the govern
ment out Of Washington but by them in Wash
ngton. Nay, it is broken every day by MIR.
Walker himself. The public creditor in New
Orleans is now compelled to take drafts on the
North when the law requires he should be paid
in gold or silver or Treasury notes. Recently
a paymaster received in this city checks on the
North for over one million Of dollars and he
deposited them with Corcoran g. Riggs, con-
trary 10 the Sub Treasury Law, and Corcoran
& Riggs to meet their payment pushed into
market enough of their loan and paid these
checks into the Treasury on account Of their
loan. All this is in contravention of the Law
and yet Mr.. Walker countenances it-nay ad-
yises it.

Capts. Bragg and Sherman, with their respec-

1t may be here proper to explain the circnm-
stances upon whicha report was founded that
Gen. Taylor had sent Anna flag of truce du-
ring the action. It deSA9ll1rffat body Of
Mexican Infantry about thousand strong had
become detached from Santa Annals army, and
were being moved down with terrible slaugh
ter. Gen. Taylor sent - Mr.. Crittenden with
a flag to say to them that they would sur
render he would stop killing them.
When Mr.. Crittenden got among them he
was taken by them to Santa Anna with his eyes
blindfulded. When he was brought to Santa
Anna he asked his mission. He told MIN he
had no message for him: that he was sent to ask
detached force to surrender to save the effi,-
sion of blood, and as his errand was unsuccess-
full he demanded to be sent back to his Gene
raj.
twas then that Santa Anna requested him
to tell Gen. Taylor that if he surrendered he
would be protected and well cared for. Mr..
Crittenden replied that he had no commission
to speak with him Santa Anna) upon that OF
any other matter, but it was no use to send any
such message, as Gen. Taylor never surren-
dered.

From VeraCruZ--RepOr Death
of GEN. SCOTT.

The reported death of Gen. Scott was not
credited at Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. The
dates from Vera Cruz are to to the 18th ult..
brought by the steamer Oregon to NewOrleans
The despatch to the Pittsburgh Journal says:
1t was understood that Gen. Scott was to
storm Vera Cruz on the goth ult. When
miles out, the crew and passengers of the Or
egon heard the sound of heavy cannonade,
supposed to be from the American batteries.
Worths division was stationed within sew
en- hundred yards of the city defences.
The citizens of Vera Cruz were disposed to
surrender, but were threatened total destruction
from the castle if they preserved in such deter
mnation.
The firing from the castle on the camp still
continued.
Many bombs had fallen within the American
lines but no damage had been thus far sustained
Ten mortars were playing from our work on
the city.
The Mexican force in the city was estimated
at 800 men, and 200 in the castle. The
Pcayune's correspondent, however, supposes
their forces to be much larger.
