Washington from Monterey in sixteen days.
We have no time for further comment tonight.
Our army has again covered itself with glory. IL
has driven the Mexicans from their strong entreneh-
msnts, on very precipitous heights, on both sides
of the San transforming them in the face OF
the enemy aud their guns-beating an army ofdouble
their own force, as has been estimated-and after
three days fighting, and driving the enemy nom one
enrenehment afer another, and from streetto street,
compelling them to surrender Monterey with all
its supplies ofammuntion, provision, &c, and can
non, with a very small exception. Neither army
is to pass a specified ine-which is perhaps nearly
half way between Monterey and Salullo-under

CapituIation OF Monterey.-Three days
hard fighting.

The steampship James l.. Day, Capt. Wood, ar
rived from Brazos Santiago about o'clock this
morning. By her we have received the glorious
news that Monterey has capulated, after three
days Of desperate fighting. Capt. Eaton, one OF the
aids of Gen. Taylor, arrived on the Day, bearing
dispatches for Washington. He left Monterey on
the 25,h ut Col Kinney and one otherg gentleman ac-
companed him from Monterey Col. Kinney kindly
took charge of packages Of letters for us and brought
them TO Carmargo, and there delivered them to his
companion, by whom they were faithfully deliver

On reaching the place of encampment we came up

Such is the feeling manifested by the whole army

opened again upon accommodating party OF ours,
Generals Taylor, Twggs, Worth, and others, have
been out, looking at their works.

A night attack is what a soldier diskes very much,
because it is then difficult to distinguish friend from
foe.
SENTENCES 20.-Eyerything remained quiet last
night. Tomorrow attempt will be made to take
Monterey. A stout resistance is expected for the
town is strongly fortified, we'll the heights that
command il, and the enemy has troops and ammu-
milton enough there to defend it, A movement will
no doubt be made tonight. No one expects an easy
victory; on the other hand, all have made up their
minds TO see much boodshed. Il is believed that
large number Of the enemy is in our rear-in fact
there's little doubt on the subject.

Gen. Tsylor's army arrived before Monterey on
the 18th, and found the enemy occupying the place
in force. Our army commenced the attack on the
2lst and continued It for three days. On the morn

which was granted by Gen. Taylor,
Seven days were allowed to the Mexicans to evac.

1000 Our Toss is severe. The LIST, Sd, and 4th
infantry suffered, with the Tennessee volunteers on
the 2lst, under the eye Of Gen. Taylor. General
Taylor escaped unhurt, but was greatly exposed
his horse was wounded.
Our killed and wounded will amount to 500.

CAMP BEFORE MosTEREY,

Sept. ~, 1886
GENTLEMEN This has been day Of excitement
and interest to our isolated little army The gem
eral left the camp at San Francisco this morning at
sunrise, and by s o'clock the whole column was
in motion, the Texan Rangers and COL May, with
squadron Of Dragons, in advance. The men
started of brisky, and the road was fine. After
two hours march, bridge was found broken
up by the Mexcans. A corn field at hand
afforded materials for filing up the place. and the
the army proceeded over the first corn stalk bridge
ever heard Of When within about four or five
miles Of the city, we heard brisk cannonading.
Some Of the men had just previous TO this began TO
lag some suffering from blistered fleet, and others
from the intensity OF the heat but sooner did the
sound of reach their ears, than they straight
ened themselves up and pressed forward with an
eagerness which showed that their sufferings were
all forgotten. Captain Scott, (the yeritable,) pr
rather now MajorScott, who commands the 9TH m
antry, marched Immediately before us, and the mo-
ment the brave old soldier heard the enemy's can
uon he drove his spurs into his horse and pranced
about his regiment as il he would give liberal por-
ton Of his life to be at Monterey. Captain Miles,
commander Of the 7th infantry, by whose side was
riding at the moment likewise in his strrups,
with his keen blockeyes sparkling, and his nostrils
slightly diaed, and gave orders to his regiment to
close up but his orders we're useless, for the noble
fellows were already pressing upon the staff, to tn

Sd and 4th infantry, and they were occupied early
next morning by the Mississippi and Tennessee
regiments, under Gen. Quitman. About o'clock,
same morning, these two regiments advanced on the
town, and sharp engagement commenced. These
regiments were supported by body of Texan Ran
gers, (dsmounted for the occasion,) under General
Henderson, and by the Sd regiment of infantry.
The fight was kept up until o'clock, p. M, during
which time our troops drove the enemy from house
to house, almost to the main plaza The loss OF
life on our side not severe during this day. On
the morning Of the 24h flag of truce was sent in,
which resulted in the capitulation Of the town.
During the whole of the engagement on the 2lst,
Col. Kinney was exceedingly useful in carrying or
ders, and in giving advice in matters with which his
thorough acquaintance with Mexican customs rem
deed him familiar. He was in the ,hickest of the
fight, moving about from point to point, and doing
good execution with his rifle. This geneman's
services have been invaluable to Gen. Taylor in the
movements Of the army from Matamoros to this
place. He has been everywhere recommending the
country, and procuring Misunderstanding night
and day, and exposing his life in thousand ways.
The colonel never dinched from any duty required
Of him, and, had Gen. Taylor ordered him TO go
and bring him Ampudia's portfolio, he would have
undertaken il. devote paragraph 10 a mention Of
this gentleman's services because he deserves much
from the public, for whom he has labored SO ardu-
ousIy and so efficiently.
Z. s. Our killed and wounded in taking Monte
rev, amounted to about five hundred, nearly three
hundred killed. Some time will elapse before the
number will be known accurately, but il il well
known that few prisoners were taken by the Mexi-
cans.
