Tvs WREcKINa OF THE FauxToN
The Washington Union of Tuesday nlght
announces the receipt of dispatches from
Commander Carpenter, communicating
the particulars of the wrecking of the
Truxton, from which that paper makes up
the annexed summary. The dispatches
are dated August 24th, at which time
Commander, G. was at Tuxpan, and, with
his officers and crew, was in good health.
He writes: "The people here continue
their kindness TO us, and the men are furn-
ished with as good quarters as the place
afford"
His disaster did not result as some have
supposed, from any misplaced confidence
in the Scotch captain whom he had on
board, but from the peculiar character of
coast. He first anchored off the bar, in five
fathoms water. Intending TO send in his
boats the next morning, he desired to get
nearer shore for their protection, and found
that he might safely anchor in three and a
half fathomS. In attempting 10 drop the
brig into that water (under jib and span
kerr she was lost. He was on the forcastle
looking out, with the lead heaving con.
stantly. "Deep four" having been called,
he supposed the next cast would give the
desired soundngs; instead of which,
quarter less three" was called. Instantly
seeing his peril, he ordered the sails TO be
loosed TO back her off. The maintopsail
was hoisted when she struck. The sails
were taken in, the Mediterranean dropped,
tho vessel liglilened bythrowing overheard
shot and pumping out water, and the lar
gest kcg was got out usterfI, for Tiie purpose
OF keeping her from forging further ahead.
But these and all other efforts failed The
boats were unable to life.in the surf along
side The launch was pve by the force
Of the breakers. The two cutters were with
Lieut. Hunter and Bergman. Thus SIT
iated, with TO chance to save the vessel
exposed TO the elements, and with a pros
Dect of destruction TO all in case gale, or
even heavy Squall, came on-he received
/ message from the shore offering them as
'islance, if he would surrender with his
officers, men and vessel. He refused at
hat time TO surrender the vessel, but on the |
day felt himselfcompelled TO ac-
,ept the offer.

fought, step BY step, and from house to
house Duncans batteries are in town,
and the present impression Is that the
place will soon be taken. Gen. Worth
has gained all the stronghoIds that com
maud the city, and has pushed the enemy
as far as they can go, without falling into
Gen. TayloF's hands on the other side Of
the city. All this has been done with the
loss only about seventy killed and wound
ed! The achievement is glorious one
sufficiently 50 to satisfy the ambition of
any man on earth. 1 was expecting to see
Gen. Worth rushing his men into unne.
cessary danger in order TO win for them
and himself great military fame, bat his
conduct has been very different from this.
His great study has been to gain these
commanding points with the least possible
sacrifice of life At first, ii seemed totally
impossible to storm these lleights-it look
ed like charging upon the clouds-but 1t
has been t.obly done. The Bishops Pal
ace, which is as strong as it has been re-
presented TO be, has been stofmed and
taken by our brave soldiers. / should
have stated that Col. Hays with body of
his troops, and Captains Gillespie and Nc
were at the taking Of the Palace.
Capt. Gillespie was MORALLY wounded;
and died yesterday morning, regretted by
the whole army"

FRon THE U. S. SauADnon--yERA
CRUz-RELEAsE OF PRIsoNERs-MoRE
HANGIH0 IN THE NAvY.-Dates from
Tampico of the Sd and from Vera Cruz of
18Th, say that flag of truce was sent from
shore 10 Commodore Conner, offering to
deliver up Commander and the crew Of che
Truxton, on their parole Of honor and it
was thought that they are now at Vera
Cruz. There are also said to be an officer
and 6 or 10 seameH belonging to the
Princeton, who were taken whilst endea-
voring to fire the Truxton The prisoners
will all be released
A Court Martial was held on the LIST
inst, on the U. s. Ship st. Mary's-to try
Samuel Jackson, on charges preferred by
Capt Saunders--for seditiOus and muffin
ons conduct, and also striking his superior
officer whilst engaged in the duties Of his
Office. The sentence Of the Court was
Thai Samuel Jackson, seaman Of the U:
s. Navy, be hanged by the neck till he be
dead, al such time and place as the Com
/ mander in Chief may direct"
The Commodore confirmed the sem
tence and ordered him to be hung from
the yard arm Of the ST. Mary's, on the 18th
ut. The following is an extract from the
letter and the order of execution.
In order thata suitable impression may
be made on all minds in the squadron, and
that there may be nothing TO divert their
minds through so melancholy spectacle
and that they may be duly impressed with
the awful consequences which must ever
follow such violations Of law as were COM
mitted by this unhappy man, it is directed
that no work be done ia the squadron on
that day-that when the preparatory signal
is made for execution bV the Cumberland,
a yellow flag shall be displayey from the
fore royal mast head Of the 81. MaFy's the
officers and crew Of every vessel Of The
squadron present shall be mustered on
deck, and they shall be kept on deck until
the yellow Gag on board the st, Mary's
is hauled down.
The fate Of this unhappy man, il IS
hoped, viii have a salhlaFy influcnce, and
impress on the minds Of all present, the
necessity of keeping strict watch over
their passions and teInpeTs al all times
and in all situations,
am sorry TO learn that every officeron
board the ST. Marys believes that the ex-
ecution will not take place-and the opin-
ion, unhappiIy, extends 70 the man him
self Ifeor he will be awfuIly disappointed;
as The Commodore considers bin an ire
missable victim to the demon Of example
His offence was gross one he struck
he officer Of the deck who was az the time
acting as Isl Lieutenant, almost entirely
without cause for anger or complaint he
