M. Wickliff, Esq, In reply to the speech
Of Mr.. Clay, and to pass resolutions sus-
tanning the President and the war"
That is as it should be. Mr.. Clay, in
his resolutions, recommends to the oppo-
nents of the wal to assemble together in
their respective communities, and to ex.
press their views, feelings and opinions;'
and one Of our Democratic exchanges rec.
ommends that the democrats and friends of
the country hold two meetings to their one,
and that they pass two resolutions sustain.
ing our own country, for every one that
the federalists may pass in favor of the en-.

PROSPECTUS OF THE oas
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.

With the commencement of the both Congress,
we propose to continue the Congressional Reg
ster on the same plan as published during the
ast session. It will contain a fun and accurate
report ofthe business proceedings Of Congress,
together with sketches of the debates which take
place in each house. The next Congress will be
one of the most important which has assembled for
years, and it is our determination to give testAs
people complete history of their proceedings,
and at sucha low price that every person whe
takes any interest in the proceedings of that body
can procure copy. 1t is believed that the lst
session of the 3Oth Congress will continue st
least eight months; and We therefore propose to
issue weekly on mammoth sheet, octaso form,
their proceedings at theunprecedented low rate Of
81 90 for the Session. ~. -. g.

the battle of Huamantla. There is but
little Of interest in this account in addition
what we have published before. 1. was
stated in the account we published of the
battle, that Capt. Walker was killed in sim
gle combat by an enraged father who, ,hav.
ing just witnessed the death of his son, rush.
ed upon the Captain, plunging his spear
into his body. The 'Fag' says that, Capt.
Walker, while examining the approach of
the enemy, and looking at the four pound

house that displayed white flag. He
sunk down Immediately and was borne in.
to the ard, the men bursting into teras as
the cry spread among them, "Capt. Wal

From the New Orleans Picayune. American Prisoners in Mexico-- . Probable Advance of Gen. SHnlf. VI

We have at last direct accounts frVm ihe American prisoners in Mexico, which enable us 10 clear up the contradictory rumors we have had in relation 10 them Letters were received here yesterday from Maj Gaines by his brother, A. L.. Games. dated in the city of Mexico, the 26.h ult., with the use of which we have been favored. It appears from them that the rank and file of the prisoners have been released and sent to Tampi~ Co. These were doubtless the ndividu. ais at Huejula, as menlionedin our last. The officers had not been released on the 26sh June. We give the greater part of Maj. Gaines letter, which, it will be seen, throws great light on Gen. .sScoips movements as we'll as upon the .fats of the American prisoners.
