BATTLE OF MONTEREY.-The Balti-
more Sun publishes two letters from indi-
viduals who fought at the battle Of Mon
tercy. We throw together the following
few extracts from both:
Col. Watson was killed IN the imprud-
ent charge ordered by gen. Butler. He
was at the head of the Battalion, and had
ordered us to go into the charge with three
cheers. He received a ball in The breast
while in the act of cheering, and tell in
stanty. tried to get TO HIM, but was borne
on 10 the rush. The charge was ineffec-
tual. Al this moment gen. Taylor rode
up in great anger and ordered us to retire.
Old Rough came up under the mos, tre-
mendous fire. 1t was here that his horse
was shot. 1t is said that angry words
passed between him and Butler.
Capt Stewart now took command and
said" Boys, your colonel is killed, don't
run, show those id redskins that al.
though You are ordered 10 retire, you in
tend to WALK +" With this he shook his fist
at them and id them pretty considerably.
The Texan rangers are the most des-
perate set of men in battle have ever
heard of. They charged up to the breast
works, dIsmounted, and rushed over on
foot, with sword in hand. They were
each armed with six.barrelIed rifles, and
as may be supposed, did grea; execution
among the copper skins.
will relate you number of incidents
which occurred during The three days:
Col. McClung, Of Mississippi, got upon
The breast works, waved his hat, and was
in the act of giving three cheers, when a
ball struck him.
Samuel w. Chambers, one of the Ran
gers, or 1" the Delaware hero" as they
call him, got over the breast works, OH
tanned foothold on the top OF an lS-
FOUNDER, and deliberately took aim with his
g e-shoorer," firing with great effect,
curslng the Mexicans, until the piece was
taken by gen. Worth, and turned on the
city. Chambers escaped without a wound
Capt. Gillespie, Of the Texan Rangers,
was killed whilst pouring water into the
tube of a cannon with Aiexicans all around
HIM. But ii is impossible for me to men
lion all the numerous incidents that &C.
Cured.
We expect another battle at Saltilo
SO soon as the armistce expires. and as
we have now got our hand in, we will give
them rough usage next time.
We bury our dead TO day, and you may
Judge of my feelings at the dreadful sight
better than can describe them. The whole
field is like slaughter house, and bodies
are being buried IN every direction. In
short have had enough of the battle. field
althoug ia determined to stand up to the
rack throughout the campaign. Some
persons may and do like it, but between
you and myself, would much rather be in
Baltimore.

PRocEEDs OF THE TARIFF The edi-
tor of the Union, IN reply to some papers
which have stated shat the new tariff was
Gripping, or would cripple, tn resources
OF the government, says: 8 We state, up
on authority which cannot he disputed
from an extensive investigation into the
receipts and profits of the revenue, made
at the great emporium of commerce, New
York, and at other points-that The esti-
mate of the Secretary OF the Treasury Of

GEN. QUITMAN.-We have seen letter
from Gen. Qutman, in which he speaks
with enhuslas Of the gallantry of his
command--hs division suffered more than
any other. But they did not advance as sp-
pears by gen. Taylor's report until order
ed up to support the regulars who ere
holly engaged as the dispatches say
These we think ought TO silence the ru-
mors put affoat that gen. Qnltman aovanc.
ed farther than his orders warranted HIS
advance was we'll timed and carried all
before it, and but tor the assistance OF
the brave volunteers from Mississippi
and Tennessee the regulars might have
been so " hotly engaged as TO have los
the object of their assault. Gen. Quit
man lost three horses under him-tWt
killed and one disabled, eut na,wlhsiand
ing, pursued steadily his object and carried
the round fort amidst the hottest fire o.
the whole battle; and when maj. gen. But
ler's report is published we venture the
prediction that he and his command viii
be spoken of as the bravest of the
brave if such epIthet is deserved by {
commander of corps in the engagement
We learn from his letter which we hav.
been permitted to peruse, that he was dis
satisfied with the capItuiation, he says W,

LATEST FROM THE ARMY.

The steamship. Galveston arrived at
Now Orleans on the Sd, having left Bras
SOS ST. Jago on the goth ult. We gather
a few Items from the Bee of the 4th:
Among the passengers was Col. jeff.
Davis, en- route for Washington.
He states that the Mexicans have totally
evacuated the country this side of San
Louis Potosi, and that they bad destroyed
the fortfications at Los Muertos a strong
pass on the road 10 Satillo, and at Sal
tIllo, which place would not be defended.
Trading parties of Mexicans report that
Santa Anna had arrived at San Luis Po-
tosI, where he was concentrating his for
ces. This is near 300 miles beyond
Monterey, the intervening country being
a barren region of rugged mountains and
thirsty plains, affording neither water OF
provisions, for man or beast.
Santa Anna left the capital with ONLY
1000 infantry and 500 cavalry, after all
his buster, and it was believed that he
would not be able TO assemble over 1000
or 5000 men at San Luis. Another VIC
tory awaits our arms at that place, which,
Ut is reported,) gen. Taylor is ordered TO
reach by the end of November.

OrT ]. E. Davis, brother to Col. Jeff: Da-
Wis, has published a card in the Sentinel
in repIy to some comments or insinuations,
by the editor of the Vicksburg Wing, OIL a
letter from the Colonel, an extract from
which we published. 1t appears that the
editor of the Wing asked and obtained, as
a favor, copy of the letter; but upon the
annearance of the extract in the Sentinel,
made use of the following among other Sc
we're remarks:

Of the Importance Of Monterey as an
acquisition to us, there can be no real dit
ference OF opinion, That il must prove
very serious loss to the Mexicans, may
be inferred from the fact that it was the
place where the foundries for the casting
OF copper balls cannon and musket--are
erected. lnsi:s vicinity are the copper
mines, winch excel any other produc-
uveness, and from these the boundaries are
supplied with metal for their castings. The

WAR SP1RIT.-The Pittsburgh Amer
lean, speaking of the call for troops upon
Pennsylvania, says: "Here in Pittsburg,
the boys are eager for the order to march
and in forty eight hours the whole com
pIement could be- got under arms. The
military spirit in our city is at fever heat

o. Messrs. D. Russ Doyle, Jacob T..
Young, DR.. Gage, James B. Heath, and
J. c. Benthall, of the Carroll Volunteers,
returned 10 their homes on Sunday last,
having been discharged on account of sick
ness. Some of these gentlemen left camp
near Monterey on the 10th ult. They con-
firm the previous reports, generally. The
wounded of the Carroll company were do
ing well, and the health of the men i'm
proving. They bring the sad intelligence
OF the death of Caesar l.. Nixon, member
of the company, at Cerralvo. Mr.. Nixon
was one of the most worthy and proms-
ing young men in our community, univer-
sally esteemed and beloved, and the an
nouncement of his untimely death cast an
unusual gloom over our village.
Col. Davis returned on the same vessel
with these gentlemen on his way to Wash
ington city. He gave it as his opinion tt at
arequisition will soon be made on this
State Cor regiment OF cavalry, or That the
regiment now in service will be mounted.
We suppose Col. D. goes on to ascertain
explicitly the plans and designs of the 60
Vernment, in future operations.
Capt. Howard also reached here on Sun
day. His health is improving, and we
learn that he will start on his return to
join the company in a week or two.

spoke of two dueIs being on the tapis one
between Col. BailIe Peyton, of this city,
and Gen. Marshall, of Kentucky; ano.

city, and capt. Shivers, of Mississippi.
Col. Peyton made written apology 10

or The letter of ]. L. S., mechanic of
Vicksburg, which we copy from the Senti-
mel, gives graphic account Of the three
days at Monterey. Our own correspon-

deemed his promise to try his hand at the
description of battle, or if he has, it has
not reached us. We are frequently asked
why he does not write.

o. A democratic meeting in Madison
county, last week, unanimously recon-
mended Mr.. Elicit as the candidate TO fill
the vacancy in our Congressional! delega-
ton. As far as there has been an express
sion OF preference by the democratic press,
it has been for Mr.. Elicit. He is consider
ed here as the candidate of the party-by
general consent. A wing paper ip Copah
has put forward the name of Mai. Robert
+. Harris, democrat. We have no doubt
that it was without the knowledge or con-
sent of Maj. H.; and we know that he is
too good democrat to allow his name to
be used to disturb the harmony of the par
I've think NAV saw the same nj
DIR. Selby, whose name is announced in
this paper. The Mississippan announces
Col. Colin Tarplay as candidate, but says
that he will decline if wing candidate
is brought out. This is equivalent to say
ing that he will not be candidate. There
is not, we believe, room for doubt that
Mr.. Elicit is the preference of the party in
the section OF the State entitled, as is con-
coded, to make the selection.
Since penning the above, we observe by
the Mississippian that Maj. Harris has with.
drawn his name from the canvass.
