Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. States, at Bardstown Ky., with the son of Henry Clay, a lieut.-colonel of Gen. Wool's forces at the time that command passed through Parras, en route to Saltillo The true and cor dial spanish-mexican embrace was given to the colonel by Don Manuel, and a hearty welcome to our troops and our officers could hardly restrain him from turning the whole army into his wine-cellars in his excess of hospitable feeling He, with many of the best Mexicans, had an intense hatred of the tyranny of Santa Ana, and held himself ready for resistance to him.
