The United States schooner Flirl,
lieutenant commanding, Arthur Sinclair
arrived here on Saturday evening, IN
twenty eight days from Vera Cruz, and
fifteen from Havana. The Flirt was
about 500 miles to the westward OF
Havana, at the time of the late gale,
and did not feel the effects Of it in any
other way than by very heavy sea.
She left Havana on the 10th ult,, and
we learn from one of her officers that
the gale was very severe at that place.
Upwards Of forty American vessels
were wrecked in the harbor, and in the
city nearly every other house is either
blown down or unroofed. The United
States s,oreship Relief was 10 sail IRON
Vera Cruz in few days for Pensacola,
with the remainder Of the crew OF the
Truxtun.
Fears having been entertained Tor
the safety of the schooner Bonita, at
tached to the blockading squadron,
known to have been out in heavy
gale, it is gratifying to learn that the
Brooklyn Eagle has received letter
from an officer of that vessel, dated
Antonio Lizardo. Oct. 5, subsequent
TO the gale.) stating her safety, though
she had very severe time in the gale.
A Vera Cruz letter says that while
the port of Alvarado is permitted to
remain open, the blockade OF Vera
Cruz will be of little avail. Alvarada
is distant from Vera Cruz only days
Journey; and munitions ofwar and mer'
chandise are almost constantly being
landed at the open port, and carried
over to Vera Cruz by land.
The same letter states that Com.
Perry is second in command OF the
blockading squadron. and is authorized
to s,assume the direction OF affairs when
ever Com. Conner may feel inclined
10 return home."

William Gibson Davis.

Among the names of the volunteers
killed at Monterey, we are panied to
record that William G. Davis, printer,
and late an inmate of this Office. The
deceased was the eldest son Of the late
Capt. David S. Davis, Of this place, and
was only in his goth year. He was
among the first to enroll himself among
the volunteers for the Mexican war,
and left here, corporal Of the "Day-
ton Rihemen." As the best evidence
of good conduct as soldier, he was
promoted to the rank Of Orderly Ser
geant of his company, in which capa-
city he acted at the time of his death.
The following particulars of his death
are communicated by DIR. Egry, and
by which it appears that he was MUIR
dered by the Mexican lancers. The
DIR. states that Davis had been quite
sick on the march from Camargo to
Monterey, and was so weak on the
morning the attack was made, that his
friends endeavored to persuade bim to
remain IN camp. This he refused to
do; but stated with his Regiment for
the fight. In going to the attack, the
regiment made run Of three miles
across the plain adjoining the city. dur
ing which several fell down from fa-
tigue, unable to go any further. Davis
was one of them; his body, with that Of
another member of his company. was
found four days afterwards, stripped
and shockingly mangled by the lancers

War News-Tbe Butler Boys,

On yesterday, Capt. James George,
Of the "Butler Boys,'' returned home
on furlough, from whom we have learn
ed many facts concerning the "boys,"
which we were not in possession OF be.
fore, and which we hasten to lay be-
fore our readers. Capt. George who
left Monterey on the 9Th of Octo ber,]
informs us that the first Ohio Regiment
was in the hottest of the fight at Mon
terey, and acted gallant part during
the active operations against thatplace.
Col. Mitchell was wounded early in
the action on the first day, and the
command of the Ohio volunteers de-
volved on Col. Weller, who conduct
ed himself in such a manner as to COM
mand the respect of the Regiment, and
win the applause Of all who witnessed
his actions.
Colonel Mitchell is rapidly recover
ing of his wounds.
Capt. George informs US that in lead,
ing on the attack. in the advance OF the
army, Col. Weller was the first man 10
cross a ditch at the outskirts Of the
town, on his horse, and that Gen. Tay.
lor was the only person that followed
him without dismounting. This shows
the bravery and daring courage OF Col.
Weller. We also learn that General
Taylor highly compl'men,ed the Ohio
volunteers. They no doubt richly de-
served it.
The following is a list of the killed
and wounded of the "Butler Boys:"

The Elections.

New YoRK.-the following, from the "Guerns-
ey Jeffersonian" gives brief statement of the re-
suit of the election in New York:
New York ELECTION. Sufficient returns
have been received from New York, TO know that
the Empire Of the East has wheeled into the col
umns of Federal whiggery. The wing Governor
has been elected by about il 600 majority. Inc
democratic Lieutenant Governor Is elected: a
majority Of the Congressional delegation Wilde
federal and the feds will also have small majority
on the assembly ticket One whig and one demo-
cratic canal commissioner elected. The new con-
stituton has been adopted. Negro suffrage mas
been rejected as well as the amendments 10 the
City charter.
election in New York The democratic party has
been badly beaten, result not anticipated by eth
er party previous to the election The causes
which have tended to produce such result are
various, and proves conclusively that the federal
whig party will resort to any and every means,
however corrupt End dishonorable, to effecI their
unholy object.
"The meretrcous union between the wings and
Anti Renters, was however the chief cause of our
defeat All accounts agree that the contest was
decided upon local and not national issues. A VIC
tory obtained by such means will not be OF long
duration and must soon give place to better or
der of things"
The Ohio Statesman says: "Mr. GARDINER,
the democratic candidate for Lieutenant Govern
or, is elected. Young was nominated by the Anti
Renters for Governor, and Gardiner for Lieutenant
Governor. 1t is a complete anti-rent victory, and
had 1t not been for this question, Silas Wright
would have been elected by thousands, notwith-
standing the division in our own ranks. The anti
rent wings will have majority in the House OF
Representatives, and the democrats in the Senate.
The Congr essnen will probably stand anti-rent
wings 20, democrats H." .
In New jersey the wings have gained one
member of Congress.
MICHIGAN is thoroughly democratic. The
democrats will have both branches Of the legisla.
ture, and two if not all three members of Con-
gress.
IowA.-Notwithstand the crowings Of the
wings, this new State has elected democratic
Governor, Congressmen, Auditor aud Secretary
Of State, and will have majority IN the legisla'
ture of four, on joint-ballot; thus securing two
democratic u. 8. Senators. Fi9

We hope the 'Black Laws will be abolished this
winter, for desrous that the whig party have
the honor of erasIng from statute book those in
human enactments, which have too long disgraced
its pages. Besides this consideration, the people
of Ohio, at the election just over, decided for their
REPEAL, and the whig members Of the Legislature
may consider themselves virtually instructed re-
aton to their course Of proceeding upon this sub.
Iject.
The infinite amount OF hardship and injustice
which has arisen from the prohibition Of Negro
