WEDNESDAY, Oct. z, 1886.
Since our paper OF this date was Issued, we
have recei ed per steamer Laurel, extras from
the Vicksburg offices, announcing the glorious
intelligence that Monterey has capitulated after
three days desperate fighting 1t is estimated
that the merican loss was from to 500 men.
The Mexicans were protected by strong en-
trenchments and outnumbered us two to one.
We have only time to CLEAN a hasty memo
randa of the operations.
On the 18th ult. Gen. Taylor arrived before
Monterey with force of about 5000 men,
He reconnoitcred the city, at about 1909 OF
1900 yards from the Cathedral foit, during
which time he was fired upon from It's batteries
His force encamped miles from the city.
Gen. Worth was ordered with his division tc
gain the Saltillo road on the west Of the town
on the ooh on the 2lst he continued his route
encountering large body of Cavalry and In
fantry supported by artillery from the heights
he repulsed them, and covered the passage o
the road. He then stormed and carried two
forts on the opposite side of the San Juan, the
guns of the latter were Immediately turned
against the Biship's Palace. On the 2lst the
division of regulars under Gen. Twigs, ant
the volunteer division under Gen. Butler made
diversion 10 the left of the town, favoring the
operations Of Gen. Worth.
A heavy fire from the first battery was i'm
mediately opened upon the advance, but thu
troops soon turned it, entering and engaging
with the enemy in the streets Of the city, hav'
ing passed through an incessant cross fire from
the Citadel and the first and second batteries
and from the infantry who lined the parapets
streets and house tops of the city. The real

and the loss they had suffered, to gain more ad-
vantage "A heavy shower of rain also came
up to cause a suspension OF hostilities before
the close of day.
On the morning Of the e2d Gen. Worth con-
tinued his operations and portions Of his divi-
sion successfully carried the heights above the
Bishops palace. Both were carried by com
mand under Capt vin,on. He was assisted by
a company Of Louisiana volunteers. On the
22d Col Garland was relieved by Gen. Quit
man with the Mississippi and Tennessee regi-
ments, and five companies Of the Kentucky
regiments.
On the morning Of the 23d Gen. Quitman
discovering that the defences east had been
abandoned by the enemy, retired Two COM
panies Of Mississippi and two Of Tennessee
troops were thrown in the streets to reconnoi-
tire, and soon became holly engaged with the
enemy. They were assisted by Col. Wool's
regulars of Texan Rangers.
The engagement lasted most all day.
Our troops drove parties Of the enemy and
penetrated to the deiences of the main plaza.
On the morning of the gath Gen. Ampundia
sent a communication under flag making an
offer of capitulation. The terms dictated by
Gen. Taylor were finally agreed upon owe

ssPARTY DRILL."-Perhaps the most startling
development made in ex-senator HAYwooD's
Address is the omnipotencc, so to speak, Of par
ty drill nt Washington! He says: VI KNEW
WELL that The Senate ,oere about passing the bill,
CONTRARY to the judgment Of MAJORITY under
The duress of a PARrY DRILL" And another
Senator, if we mistake not, said in open debate,
that ssTwo-THIRDs of the Senate were opposed to
the bill" And yet it PASSED that body by
majority of one!
Is not this an alarming confession? looming,
too, from the highest legislative functonary OF
our Government; composed Of men who should
be "above suspicion and above reproach''--
that, under s'duress Of party drill" THEY could
so far forget their duty to their country and
their God as to suffer themselves to be coerced
into the supper. of nj asure scontrary" to
.llei, enlightened judgments2 Truly, truly, we
have fallen upon evil times. Has it come to
this, that a high-minded honorable man, one
who has been elevated to the proud and lofty
distinction Of Senator in this great nation, can
rise in his place, in the Senate Chamber, and
d. nounce measure as unwise, impolitic, and
destructive, and yet, "under duress Of party
drill" he can be made to sacrifice all his high
er, and, we may say not unjustly, his boiler OBJ
legations, and uote in favor of that identical
measured The reflection is, indeed, humiliat-
ing, and goes far to controvert that boosted
"freedom of action" in our Government over
which we hear SO many praises sung.-Raleigh

the hour which the acceptance or non-accep-

General. Att A. M, the Mexican General
sent, requesting personal conference with
Gen. T. which " as granted 1.-THE principal officers
Of rank on either side accompanying their Gem
ferals. After several offerain relation to the
Iicapitulation Of the city made on either side
and refused, at half pasta P. M. Gen. Taylor
arose and saying he would give Gen. A mpudia
one hour to consider and accept or refuse, left
the conference with his officers-at the expira-
ton of the hour, the discharge of the mortar
was to be the signal for the re-commencement
of hostilties. Before the expiration Of the
hour however, an officer was sent on the part OF
Gen. Ampudia, to inform the American Gener-
al that TO avoid the further efusion Of blood,
and the national honor being satisfied by the ex-
ertons Of the Mexican troops, he had, after
consultation with his General Officers, decided
to capiiulate, accepting the offer of the meri-
lean General.
The terms of capitulation we're in effect as
follows:
That the officers should be allowed to march
out with their side arms.
That the Cavalry and Infantry, should be
allowed to march out with their arms and ac-
coutrements.
That the Artillery should be allowed to
march out with one battery Of six pieces and
twenty zone rounds Of ammunition.
That all other munitions of wal and supplies
should be turned over to the board of Ame-i-
can officers appointed to receive them.
That the Mexican A rmy should be allowed
seven days to evacuate the city and that the
American troops should not occupy it until e
vacuated.
That the Cathedral, Fort, Citadel, should've
evacuated at 10 A. M. next day, [s5th) the
Mexicans then marching out and the Ameri
can garrison marching in. The Mexicans al
lowed to salute their flag when hauled down
That there should be an armistice of eigh
weeks, during which time neither army SHOULD
pass line running from the Rinconnado, thro
Linares, and San Fernando.
This lenient offer IF the American Genera
was dictated with the concurrence of his Gen
erals and by motives Of good policy and consid
Grafton for the good defence of their city by thu
Mexican Army.
A letter dated, Camp near Monterey, Sept

"The carnage on our side was great, an
probably more so than on that of the Mexicani

HyHE undersigned having had fair
II opportunity Of examining and test
ing the SCIENCE Of Penmanship as taught
by Mr.. Rufus Dolbear, having taken
lessons from him, and witnessed the re-
markable improvement Of his scholars,
take pleasure in recommending it to the
public.
Although the high testimonials which
Mr.. D. bears with him of his own cha
racter, and the merits Of his system,
render it unnecessary, yet we embrace
this occasion Of testifying to the moral
worth, gentlemanly department, general
intelligence and great fidelity as teach
err of Mr.. D. We regard him as the ON
LY person whom we have met with, who
teaches Penmanship Scientifically. The
principles and practice of his system
are so plain and easy Of acquisition that
children and persons Of the commonest
UNDERESTIMATE G can comprehend, and
without difficulty retain the recollection
Of them. Considering good legibie
hand mriting as an essential accomplish
ment to every Lady and Gentleman, an
invaluable attainment TO every public
officer, pro- essional and business man and
to oil classes OF individuals, and great
means of diffusing information-that il
would be saving Of time and money to
be taught by Mr.. DPS system, instead Of
by the ordinary modes taught, and feel.
ing confident that the rules Of his sys-
tenn, if followed, will give ease, elegance

perfect writing, we are of opinion that

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Mysterious .9fair.-Serious Charge. Some
time since we heard the rumor ola strange and
apparently mysterious affair, which was said
to have been enacted in this city, but lately
the various reports which have been floating
about. have settled down into something like
a definite statement Of facts, and which if they
should prove to be true, will disclose a most
revolving crime, and one of the most atrocious
villanies which has been PerPetIated in our
community for long time. We give the
statement at present, on such facts as we have
been enabled to obtain, and as they have been,
and are now currently reported, without, how.
ever, naming the parties implicated, as we learn
