Tbe Santa Ana Bribed
As illustrating a very iutcrosiing chapter of
history, wc make the following extracts from ai
address by the  renowned General Gideon J. Pil
low to the people of Tennessee, on placing himself before them as a candidate for United States
Senator. If silt-laudation be a requisiie fur lhat
eminent position, then Bh&nld Ihe !;:;ll;ir.i QonftTR]
be at once elected, lor we have never read a document iii'which the writer so iiml* hisown prowess
as does this modest candidate for Senatorial honors. He says [In liiue has come to lift, the vai)
which lor ten years has concealed the truth of the
secret hislory of the HesfcafB war, by which he
means, that it is time Ihe world knew how much
the country is indebted to bim for maintaining
the glory of her arms, and preserving, unspotted
and unsullied, her reputation nnd honor. Of
course, all-his shafts arc aimed at Gen. Scott,
Who, he says, was engaged in negotiations calculated to subvert the advantages gained by the
hard fought battles of the Mexican war. Tlvse
allegations, however, are disposed of by Gen.
Scott iu a brief and, summary manuer, as will be
seen by (he exlracl, which we append, from his
reply. It will be seen, that G-.-u. P. takes great
eredit to himself for having been appointed to
the position, and discharging the duties, of a spy
npon the conduct of his superior officer ;
Gen. Pillow Ktya :
"In appointing a mission to travel witti the
army and treat for peace, (if an opportunity
should offer,) the grade of diplomatic duty to.be
performed and the emoluments attached thereto.
made it impossible for the President to find a
statesman who would accept the place, Tbe mar
selected for that position was Mr. N. P. Trist.
But cither distrusting his ability, or judgment, or
prudence, or all these, President Polk was not satisfied to place the honor of the country and his
Administration in his hands alone.
" By his confidential lettirs, now in my possession, he so far associated myself with Mr. Trist as
to p'ace me In semi official relations with him as
a commissioner. The duty W&S enjoined upon
Mr, Trist of taking me into all his conferences.
and to consult me in all his negotiations. The
duty was imposed upon me as a patriot and the
devoted friend of the President, to guard and
protect the honor of the country and of his ad-
ministration against any and everything which I
thought would tarnish the one or the other. It
will bo seen that while Mr. Trist was the ostensible commissioner, I was, in fact, the confidential
officer of the Government, upon whom the President relied lo guard and protect the honor of the
country, in the important negotiations involving
the peace of the country.
" When I reached tie headquarters of the ar ii j
at Puebla, I was invited to a conference with Mr.
Trist. On my arrival at his quarters I found
General Scott there. Mr. Trist informed me that
he had opened negotiations with Santa Anna, aud
had pretty well agreed upon the preliminaries of
negotiations for peace. By these terms Santa
Anna was to Hie paid, cash in hand, as earnest
money, 510,000, and <^ir army was to march to
the valley of Mexico and fight a battle before lb'
eity. If we won, an armistice was to be granted.
and commissioners appointed to treat for peace.
When peace shoiilil be concluded, Santa Anna
was to receive one million of dollars more.
^Mr. Trist further informed me that these term:
had been agreed to, but it was an open question
whether Santa Ana or Gen. Scott (after the battle
was fought) should take the initiative, and send
the flag of truce, preparatory to  the anr.islice-
Santa Anna insisting that Gen. Scott should send
the flag, but Gen, Scott insisting if he won the
battle Sana Anna should do so. He further said
Gen. Scott had furnished him the money, aud that
he had paid the $10,000 required to be paid in
advance, and lhat Gen. Scent had the means in
the disbuising department of ihe army, or could
raise the means, of paying the million to be paid
at the conclusion ol the negotiations. He also
said he had invited me to the conference in pursuance of the order ol the President, aud desired
my approval ol the terms.
_ " Regarding this as an improper use of the pub'
lie money, and as a bribe to the commander of
the enemy's forces, and as dishonoring (he Government and disgraceful to our army, I at once protested against the whole matter."
"Gen. Scott justified and deluded the measure.
6oth upon the score of morals and as t j the usage
of governments. He said we were not corrjuiting
Santa Anna, for the fact that he was found in tin
market asking a bribe was proof that he wits al
ready corrupted.''
"Being satisfied after reflection that my first
impressions were right, I went next day to Gen.
Scott and Mr. Trist^ and protested so earnestly
against the whole matter that they both said I was
right, and that they would abandon the negotiations. I then thought they were sincere in their
purpose to abandon it. and all idea of peace to be
thus obtained.
"In a few days afterward Hie army commenced
the march for the valley of Mexico.
•■We reached tbe valley—had fought Uie battle
efCbntreras aud Clierubuseo, (a continuous fight
Dhat lasted nearly two days,) when at last every
portion of the field was won-, by the indomitable
valor of the Americau army, and while pnrsniu,
ihe enemy at the head of the army, and almost
■within the gates oi" the city, I received General
Scott's order to halt the army and fall back to hi
position—when I learned from hi in that it was his
purpose to grant an armistice.
"The enemy had sent.no flag of truce, nor had
he asked an armistice. I at once told Gen. Scott
the city was in his power—that I thought he
ought to take it, provide for the wants of his
army, aud then grant an armistice, if the enemy
desire it.
"Gen. Scott replied that his purpose wai
tied, and gave orders for tlie disposition of the
army for the night approaching
"Next day I went to Gen-. Scott's headquarters
taking Gen. Worth with me, and we both earnest
ly protested against the urini&ticc, but to uo
pose.
"Finding that I could do nothing to prevent
the consummation of measures so disreputable to
the Government, I at once wrote to President
Polk, giving him a full account of tho negotiations, and the steps adojged toward its fulfillment.
Upon the reception cf this information, the President promplly recalled Mr. Triet, withdrew-from
him all authority to act as commissioner, and directed General Scott to send him back to tht
United States.
"The armistice lasted fifteen days, during
which time Santa Anna bed completed his deferi
ces, removed his heavy artillery from El Pinion
andMexicalzingo, and had  re-organized  and
cruitcd his army, and had 25,000 fighting men in
the field—and theu re-aunounced that the armistice was at an eud. And in the after operations
of,the army—made necessary by the armistice.
and by giving up all the advantages gained by
the first two bloody battles, we lost In k-lled and
wounded 1,672 meu, so that the army had to atone
for the error of its General-in-chief, acting under
the influence of the Government Commissioner—
with tho blood of many of its bravest men."
This address of Gen. Pillow has called forth replies from Gen. Hitchcock, Acting Inspector General of the Army in Mexico, from. Gen. Seott, Ex-
President Tyler, add others.
Gen. Hitchcock stales, that a- meeting of all
the general officers of the army was called by
Cfen. Sflbt'f, at his (iimners. on the lSth of July,
1847, to consider this- proposition of Mr. Trist ;'
that Gen. Scott simply slated the' proposal made
by the Mexican authorities to Trist, but did not
say a single word in support of it ; closing his re.
marks thus—"That in the present case it was for
Mr. Trist himself to determiue what he might
think expedient, but that it Mr. Trist decided upon the employment of money as proposed, he,
(Gen. Scott) would assist him iu obtainiug it, and
defend his motives in the use of it."
Gens. Twiggs, Quilman, and Shields made each
a few observations. They did not like.tlre use of
money, but approved the motives of Trist in communicating the proposal. Gen. Cadwallader took
no part in the proceedings.
Of tbe remarks of Gen. Pillow on the occasion,
Gen. Hitchcock, who took a note of the proceedings, says:
" I find that my note in reference to his remarks
is in these words—'General Pillow came out very
Cully in support of the measure, only stipulating
as a condition, that the United States should have
such a treaty as was desired.'
" This is all of my memorandum of what he
said, but I well remember that he rose lrom his
st-at and earnestly spoke for some time in fflvor
of the scheme, there was not the slightest intimation from him that there was anything wrong
"n acceding to the proposals of the city of Mexico.
He made, in approbation of the proceeding, what
Blight be called a regular speech iu favor of it.
What her said then was uttered as a general officer
of tbe army. It now appears that the next day,
acting no doubt iu his private capacity as a spy,
" e made a somewhat formal protest against the
proceedings ; and for this afterthought he now
claims v»t credit, as if, by his interposition, he
had saved the honor of the country. Again, I
say, if the measure was so clearly and palpably
wrong, how came he to approve it at all ? It if
manifest that thtv point which the General has en
deavored to make is not of the slightest impor
fancc.''
Thus it will be seen, that Gen. Pillow now comes
out and claims credit for opposing a measure, of
which, on the testimony of a general officer of the
army, he at oee time was a warm advocate. What
credit atfach.es to this course of conduct wc are at
a loss to determine, but we haec no doubt the people of Tennessee will decide righily in the prem-
The whole question is tersely and ably disposed
of by Gen. Scott, in a card  which he has publish
o reply to the address of General Pillow, from
which we take the following extract :—
" Gen. Pillow now says that, by agreement, Mr.
Trist engaged to pay to Gen. Santa Anna, " cash
in hand, as earnest money, ten thousand dollars,"
to induce him to entertain negotiations lor a peace;
id lhat subsequently  Mr.  T.  told him (Gen. P.)
that Gen. Scott bad furnished him (Mr. T.) the
money, and that he (Mr. T.) had paid the ten
thou-and dollars."
Being morally certain that Mr. Trist never
made such declaration, it is almost useless-to say
t*iat I never tut ned over a dollar to him for such
or any other purpose whatever,- and am very sure
that Mr. T. had not a dollar of public money in
his possession while in Mexico, and never more
than sufficed for his very moderate expanses in his
private purse ; and I certify ou honor that I never,
at any time, paid to. Gen. Santa Anna, or caused
to be paid to him by another for his use cr benefit,
one dollar or more, ou any accomit or in any way
whatever."
This reply of the veteran soldier places the ego.
tistical Pillow io rather an awkward position,
which is not at all bettered by the card from Ex-
President Tyler, who exhibits him making a state,
ment morally impossible. For instance, he
charges him with using $.300,000 for Ibepnrchase
the political press of the State of Maine, in
181:2, to procure the ratification of the treaty- of
Washington, while Ihe wiiole appropriation by
Congress for the contingent fund that year.—the
first made during the official residence of Tyler at
'iV'a-h'ngton—amounted only to $.30,000-, every
dollar of which is fully accounted for, and the
cuchcrs filed awayin the State Department.
How 8500,000 could be taken out of a fund of
o?;0,000will probably puzzle most persons to find
out.
We have devoted coin-Id'.rable space to this sub
ject, as it is of national importance, aud is pretended to be opened now for the purpose of throw-'
light on the secret history ofthe Mexican war,
but in reality to detract from the well-cuinid laurels wbieh encircle the'brow ol the gallant leader
ofthe American army during the Mexican war—
with what result, we leave our readers to determine.

Tlie Trpops for Utah,
The recent movements of the authorities of
Utah, indicating a determination to come to a
collision with tho small force ol United States
troops on its way thither, which is somewhat confirmed by the general movement of the Mormon
people at San Bernardino to join their cVreligion-
ists at Salt LaknCity, have directed general attention to the progress of the aimy, and a very considerable interest has been awakened for its safety
and success. The position of that force was certainly critical, at last accounts, should Gov. Young
put iu execution bis oft-repeated threats. As its
fate depends much upon the skill and capacity of
the commanding officer, we copy the following
from a laic New York paper, to showthat Col.
Johnson, in charge of the expedition, is every
way qualified, by great experience and ability, to
carry out the intentions cf the Government.
We may mention, that Col. Johnsod is brothcr-
-law of Dr. Griffin, of this city.
"General Albert Sidney Johnston, who succeeded General Harney in command of the army now
marching against Utah, was born in Kentucky, in
the year 1802, and is, therefore, about -fifty-five
years old. His father removed from Connecticut
to Kentucky in 1787, and was one of the pioneers
of that region. The sou studied at Transylvania
University, graduated at West Point, served eight
years'as lieutenant and adjutant in the sixth regiment United States Infantry, was adjutant general of the Illinois troops with the rank of colonel
in the Black Hawk war, aud subsequently resigned his commission iu the* United Slates army to
join that o! Texas, which he did shortly after the
battle of Sau Jacinto. Being a good disciplinarian, he perfected the organization of the Texan
army, of which he became adjutant general, and
passed rapidly through all the grades until, in
1837, he was commander-in-chief. In 1839, he
acted as Secretary of War under President Lamar,
and was in a memorable fight on the Neu
which ike Tesaus defeated seven hundred Ch
kees. At the breaking out of the Mexican
General Johnston, at the earnest request of Ge;
Taylor, joined the army, and was chosen colonel
ofthe first Texas regiment. This was disbanded
with others, afterwards, but Colonel Johnston became inspector general of Gen. Butler's division,
and served as such at the battle of Monterey. After that battle, he ictired into private life as a
planter In Brazonia counly, Texas, where ho remained until, in 1840, President Taylor appointed
him paymaster in the army."

e of being one of a party who were invited to
visit San Pedro, by P. Banning, Esq., a gentleman
whose public spirit and liberality are unbour.dcd.
After a very pleasant drive iu asix-in hand coach,
we found ourselves at the beach residence of our
kind host, where an entertainment was provided
lor tho company which could not be excelled anywhere. All the luxuries of the season were in
profusion, and the guests did ample justice to She
good things provided. The company embraced a
iber of merchan'a of this city, who were ou
their way to San Francisco by the steamer Sena-
ir. Those not engaged by business, spent their
isure time in the pleasures of hunting,—a goodly number of the feathered tribe giving evidence
)f the unen'ing aim of the sportsmen. Next morn
ng, those remaining enjoyed themselves in various ways—some hunting, others fishing, and others
again strolling along the beach and inspecting
the various and important improvements, workshops, warehouses, wharf. <fcc, &c, erected by the
spirited proprietor. In the afternoon the company
turned to town, having spent a most agreeable
time, and all thankrful to Mr. Banning for Ike
pleasures afforded by the excursion, and for the
unbounded hospitality exhibited by him on the
occasion.
Arrival:— By the last steamer Hon. John G.
l->ow:n;y and family returned home from a visit to

snip ol San Pedro,'on the duties of which, we understand, he will cuter ou the first December.

The Weather.—During, the present week the

distillations as he sweeps over hill and dale. On
Wednesday and Thursday, the rain fell in the
most desirable and fertilizing quantit es. The
prospect is now most flattering that we will soon
behold the now naked plaius, aud the bald hills
enrobe themselves in that mantle of green,, which
for the past two years has been short and evanescent. Yesterday was as beautiful and bright as

" Buck Axn Bni-:cK."—We had the pleasure of
meeting these very popular gentlemen iu our
good city this week—a circnmshince in which
stand alone among the cities of our State, It
might be supposed that, they could not be met
with, together, outside of Washington, yet such
is not. the case. But, although these gentlemen
were not engaged in affairs of Slate, they were
very intimately connected with State affair
"Buck" presiding over tho Coast express line of
Wells, Fargo & Co., and " Brock" having conn
here in charge of the "dromedary line" which i
to open up a wagon road to tho Pacific. Shi
meeting was a cordial one, and a large circle oi
friends joined them in the old " war-cry'' of long
life and success to " Buck and Breck."
In pursuance of the business of his position, Mr.
Buchanan left for Sau Francisco on the steamer,
but Mr. Breckinridge, being detached fromBeale's
'p^rty, is detailed for service with Lieut. Ives, in
the exploration of the Colorado river.
The Statk Prisoij Difficulty.—Mr. Qordon,
superintendent of tho Stale Prison, gives the Herald tho following account of the late difficulty
at that institution:—"About half-past two o'clock
n the afternoon of the 4th inst,. some thirty prisoners were discharging a schooner laden ed with
wood, at the Point, opposite post No. 10, when he
first saw the prisoners push the boat from the
wharf, aud hailed them, advising them to return.
They paid no attention, but persisted in pusiiiug
"ff, and were hailed again by the guard, live or
x times, the boat all the time shoving oil', when
the guard thought it their duty to fire the twelve

Death of Mb. W. B. Ciiaimux.—It is with exceeding pain that we record the death of W. B,
Chapman, tho distinguished and veteran comedian
and meritorious citizen. Mr. Chapman was ill
for two weeks, previous to his demise, but nothing
fatal was apprehended until just previous to the
close of bis mortal career. On Saturday night,
wife was sitting at his bedside reading to him,
when the old gentleman passed away with the
quietude of au infmt dropping into repose.
As an artist, Mr. Chapman had no equal in his
lino in California ; as a guitleman, he was kiud-
ly-liearlcd, urbane, and universally esteemed ; as
a citizen, he was industrious, abstemious, aud a
most worthy inenibe* of society.
