BATTLE OF MONTEREY

Knowing the great anxiety in the country
TO be in possession of all the particulars rel
alive to the battle at Monterey, we publish
to-day severalhighly interesting letters copied
from the N. o. Picayune, whose reporter was
on the spot and an eye witness of, if not a
participant in, the affay. They will repay a
perusal.
CAMP BEFORE MONTEREY, Sept Is, 1916.
Well, "ihe ball has opened" When with
in about four miles Of the city we heard a
brisk cannonading in that direction. On ar
irving here we learn that Gen. Taylor, with
a detachment of dragons and the Texan
Rangers, advanced within few hundred
yards of the city, when the enemy opened
upon them with twelve-pounders. The first
ball came within about ten yards OF the Gen.
eral. Some twenty-five or thirty shot were
/ fired at the Dragons and Rangers, passing
| through their lines, but hurting neither man
nor horse. A picket of 200 Mexican caval
ry appeared on the plain when our advance
frs: approached, and after firing volley OIL
two with their escopettes, retired into the
city. Bishops hill is strongly fortified, and
they are hard at work on height command
ing that place. So tonight, or early in the
morning, we will have hot work. They will
fight now beyond doubt.

Pennsylvania ELECTIONS.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania, of the
18th, the leading Locofoco Journal of that
city, has the following editorial acknowledge
ment:
The RESULT IN PENNsyLvANIA.-As the
news from the various counties of this State
of The election of Tuesday, is gradually re-
ceived, all parties are amazed-the Demo,
Gratis at their almost UNMARRIED bad luck, and
the Wings at successes of which they never
dreamed. There is no merit in denying a
defeat so overwhelming, however il may
have been produced. Some of our stron-
gest counties have been swayed from their
propriety; and others have given majorities
on but part of the Democratic ticket; some
have voted most of the Wing ticket but ca
nal commissioner; others have made the
canal commissioner the prominent object OF
their opposition. There is hardly single
county, yet heard from, in which we can be
said to ''hold our own" save Philadelphia
county. This is the condition of things
as il now occurs TO US, and it is this which
gives TO our opponents sufficient inducement
for exuitation.

GEN. TAYLOR The Armistice. The
reader will find in another column very sen
sible article from the N. o. Bee, having ref
erence to the terms agreed upon between
Gen. Taylor, and the Mexican General after
the battle at Monterey.
There are so many at this distance from
Monterey, Who we have heard speak OF the
fight and its termination, and who would
have performed so much better than old
FAC, that we are half inclined 10 quarrel
with Mr. Polk for not making Generals Of
them and sending them TO Mexico in order
that they might save the country from the
disgrace which they think Old Rough and
Ready, in thus trucking TO conquered ar
my, is about heaping upon.it. We do not
know that Gen. Taylor's reasons for his &C
lions will be considered good, but we will
nevertheless give them. In his official re-
port he says:
sit will be seen that The terms granted the
Mexican garrison are less rigorous thar
those first imposed. The gallant defence o
the town, and the fact Of recent change o
government in Mexico, believed to be favor
able to the interests of peace, induced mt
to concur with the commission in these
terms, which will, trust, receive the appro
val of the government. The. latter consid
Grafton also prompted the convention for
temporary cessation of hosiiliIes. Thougt

the change of affairs since those instruction
were issued, seem to warrant this course.

prepared by the recent convention in Albany,
requires that each elector shall be citizen
ten days before he votes, which will prevent

sometimes on The day of election, whic h
has been the custom in New York city and
elsewhere for some years.
