Tannery Of F. D. PARMELEE, situated on
the Ohio Canal, near Lock l6, in this vii.

fire was too far advanced to save the main
building, which was consumed, with all it,

strsct;on o. Property.
The schooner Sarah Churchman, Capt.
Baymore, from Philadelphia, via Key
West, for Brazor Santiago, arrived at the
North East Pass on Wednesday morning,
the 2lst, and landed Commodore Sioat and
son from the Pacific, and Lieut.. VIM. C.
Peace, ofthe revenue service, bearer of des-
patches to Washington. They came up
to New Orleans on the evening of the 22d
ult., on the tow.boat jefferson. ~
To Lieut.. Pease we are indebted for the
details Of a terrible gale in the Gulf, of q
fury unexampled, and from which we must
not expect to hear all the deplornble effects
for many weeks. We will begin with the
gale as it was felt at Key West.
The gale commenced blowing from north
east on the morning of the llth inst. By
l o'clock it blew perfect hurricane. The
tide rose rapidly, and the storm ragged with
incredible violence until near midnight, when
it abated. On the 18th it blew moderate
gale,and gradually subsidized. Every dwell
ing house, save FIVE or six, at Key West
were destroyed or unroofed. T.
The Custom House was blown down
The Marine Hospital unroofed, and it il
supposed the Government property DESTROY,
cd to the amount of 100000. Taffe'.
wharf disappeared. and the Salt Works
destroyed. w i
The U. 8. Barracks were injured, bu,
suffered less than any other building. Many
families turned out houseless, but the Uni
ted States Quarter-master came promptly
to their assistance. m.
The loss of life is great. Many were
drowned, and many killed by falling build
ings. Key West light house and building
are entirely gone. The spot where they
stood is covered by white sand beach
Fourteen souls perished in these buildings,
Sands Key light house has totally dis
appeared with the buildings connected will
/ it. The occupants Of this too have perish
led. ,Sfz
/ The light ship in the northwest passage
dragged her moorings and went to sea, bu
she was recovered and returned to her 20
sition. a,
4 The agent Of the underwriters was doin,
every thing in his power to save property
Very great danger is to be apprehendet
from the loss Of the light houses to vessel

Correspondence Of The Baltimore Sun.
WASHINGTON, Oct 81, 1886.

WASHINGTON, w Oct 81, 1876. RI
You may expect shortly to- hear Of fur
ther call for troops to carry on the opera,
tions Of the war. Peace is to be conquer
ed and such blow struck upon Mexico as
will induce her Congress, now about to con-
vene, to sue for terms. In no case will
our government be disposed to give back
Upper California and New Mexico; though
it is hardly to be supposed that Mexico will
insist on such condition. g&
Commodore Sloat, who was in the ter.
rife gale in which the Perry was driven a.
shore, has made his official bow here; he
brings nothing new but individual opinions
about California and her population, and
copies ofhis dispatches, already published.
The territorial government ofthat province,
as far as our arms penetrated into the
country, seems to be organized and to work
well. Commodore Stockton, who was left
in command, viii soon be relieved by Com.
modore Shubrick, now on his way to the
Pacific in the razee Independence. s7
In regard to a statement made in a. for.
mer letter, of the eventual attack on Vera
Cruz, ! am inclined to believe that I was
not mistaken. The opinion seems to pre-
vail that without that important key TO ths
commerce and wealth Of Mexico, she wdl
be able to hold out longer than we will be
disposed to carry on the war; so that from
motives Of economy, and q decent regard
for the lives ofour brave troops, a decisive
blow had better be struck at once. Better
to lose a hundred men in an engagement
which is decisive ofthe fate ofthe campaign.
than a smaller number in series Of unius.
portant rencountes which leave the PAR.
ties in the same state. The moral effectof
the fall of Vera Cruz would be- equal to
that Of half a dozen victories in which the
enemy loses nothing but a few unimpor-
tant towns, a. an indefinite ewaste Of country
The sloop Boston, Lieut., Pierce,y COM
mander, and the splendid sloop Albany,
