count of the matter as reported in the cores
pondence Of the Mobile Herald.
PENSACOLA, September -, 1917.
The brig Oceola, Capt. Smith, arrived at
the Navy Yard here last evening, after a pas
sage of five and a half days from Vera Cruz.
and brings late and unfayorable news from
the army of Gen. Scott,
1t seems that hostiIities were renewed on
the Sth instant, Santa Anna and Gen. Scott
mutually charging each other with violation
of the arlnistice, and by the last accounts our
troops had possession Of two streets, and had
driven the principal part Of the Mexican force
in or towards the plaza.
Our troops had suffered greatly from the
fire Of the enemy, placed in windows and ON
the roofs Of the houses, and Gen. Worth was
badly but not mortally wounded. Our loss
since leaving Puehla was three thousand men.
MIR. Trlst's proposition for a cesSion of a
portion of California, for a consideration of
twenty millions, had been agreed To by the
Mexican CommisSiOners-but another pTopo-
%silion, fixing the Rio Graude as the bounda.
ry on this side, was ~peremptorily refused.
Parades was said to be on the road be-
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico with a large
force of guerrillas.
These accounts are derived from the sun
of Anahuac Of the 10Th instant, and brought
by the Oceola, and verbal communications
from M. Dimond TO the captain, at the mo-
ment Of leaving. | have no doubt they may
be relied upon essentially. This news reach
ed Vera Cruz by the Oriznba route.

inal Court, on a wit of habcas corpus, and
liberated. The evidence Of his guilt was
conclusive, but illegal, as no one could testi-
ty against him excepting the negro he had
robbed. He was accordingly dismissed.
This is the fellow, it will be recollccted,
who was arrested by officer Cozens, last
Thursday, for committing a highway robbery
on a negro near the Camp Spring. The ne
gro had on his person, four dollars, the price
of a load CT wood he had sold. franklin
wayiaid him, threw an old bag over his head,
and then riiled his pockets.-&i. Louis Re

We presume there is hardly Il Buckeye
cry shame! on the law-givers of Mississippi.
But how would it have Jared with franklin
had the deed been lone in Ohio! Are not
the laws of this State in relation 10 the testi-
mony of colored men, precisely the same as
those of Mississippi? How much better
then, in this respect, is the free State Of Ohio
than the Stare State Of Mississippi
BEAUTIFUL AND Tuue.-During the recent
visit Of Henry Clay in Philadelphia, in brief
ly responding to some friends, he uttered
the following beautiful and patriotic senti-
ment:
There is said he, "gcntlemen, one
thing before we part, which wish you to re-
member. This glorious and beautiful land is
0ur common c0uHtry-iH Peace ar in Uar-
ia zeal or in ic0e-under bud administration
mr. good Gorernment-REMEMBER TO
STAND BY IT."
Henry Clay's Christianity, - hath this ex-
tent, no more" No need to 90 to Hindoo

Ashland will supply its quota. This coun-
try is the God Of Henry Clay, and he hath
none other before it. lie will stand by it
. in peace or in war;" whether it be right,
or whether it be wrong. The law Ct Jeho-
yah is with him a secondary consideration
if it does not conflict with the fancied inte-
rests of this country-or his own-he will
obey it; if it does, he will not. Paul never
preached to a more iucorrigible idolator, and
a great portion of the people are like him.
