pened his eyes on the light, there could be
read no such page as that now under con-
sideration. He was reared almost in sight
OF the tomb in which reposed the bones Of
the father of his country; where the fires
of the revolution and of the second war OF
Independence burned brightly in old Vir-
giiia, and where he knew their sons were
still willing tosperil life and all for their
country. As for Ohio, his adopted home,
he felt proud of her; especially in view Of
the prompt response other citizens to the
call ofthe Ex-Governor for volunteers in
the Mexican campaign. And he felt that
those adverse and most unfortunate senti-
ments Of the resolutions and the inaugural,
like the hand-bills against General Jackson,
were destined soon to be thrust away from
before all eyes with most infinite and in
effable scorn-no more to appear on the
face Of a public document forever. For if
such sentiments should ever come upon it,
Ohio will show herself to be a democratic
state. Her people are too honest, and toe
proud, and too Jealous to be infected by
such treason.
Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1845-1854, 1847-01-06

fortune speeds them, One other pull--the
oars slide quickly trailing from the locks
they touch the brig, and eight brave men
are springing up her sides. The careless
night watch, dreamless Of danger, was
smoking with comrade leaning against
the misunderstanding noise he turned,
neutrality-suspicious. Wv" stunning
blow cut short his challenge, and ere his
mate had turned to see the cause, he too was
felled upon the deck. Three others were
secured upon the deck. Swift and noise
less as had been the work, the sentries on
the castle observed disturbance in the brig,
and hailed to know the cause, Parker, who
spoke Spanish like native, assumed the
part of the Captain of the brig, and replied
cooly-"some of my rascals are tipsey, and
| am tying them, that's all. l don't want
any assistance" His officers and men
were meanwhile busy securing all they
could find below, and in less time than it
takes to tell Of it, they had securely bound
and securely gagged all on board. The
sentries on the wall never imagined the
possibility of an enemy at their very side,
were satisfied with Parker's answer, and,
he as soon as the Mexican crew were Sc
cured, remained quiet for some time-then
cautiously passing his prisoners and men
into his boat, everything was prepared for
their retreat.
The three now entered the hold of the
brig and carefully fired it in various parts,
building their fires so that some 20 or 80
minutes would elapse before they would
burst out. The brig was securely moored
by chains to the castle walls, but it would
have been impossible, had she been free,
for them to have got her out. She was Ia
den with rich cargo Of warlike stores, of
which little or nothing had been removed
by the Mexicans. Regaining their boat,
now heavy with the added weight Of their
prisoners, the gallant party pulled away
deep sinking their oars, they tug on their
way.
Those only who have known immediate
great danger impending over their heads
can imagine the hard strung nerves of that
noble crew, as resolute for all fortune, but
hopeful for good, they cautiously won :heir
first hundred yards from the castle. The
slightest accident might discover them, and
to be discovered was to be the mark of an
hundred cannon. They have won their way.
The castle has sunk in darkness, the La
vandera is passed when presently they see
a flickerlng light and hear the drums ofthe
castle. "Give way,my hearties," cries Par
ker, 1--WE have built beacon that may light
US to our own graves" Soon they had
passed out Of range, and as their flaming
prey sent up now bright flashes to the skies
they gave three hearty, happy cheers.
Such, so far as can gather, may pass for
an account of the most gallant and best
conducted deed Of the war.

Late from Mexico,

By the arrival at New Orleans, on Sun
day morning, 10th inst, of the steamship
McKim, Capt. Peck, the Picayune has
dates from Brazos Santiago up to the 18th
inst, with accounts two days later from
Monterey.
From the report of the McKim we learn
that the U. S. steamer Gopher broke her
hog chains and steam connections in cross
ing the bar on Sunday, the 18th. She was
however, enabled to get outside and come
to anchor in five fathoms water, but the
wind blowing strong from the southeast and
a heavy sea running she was literally
mashed to pieces and sunk at her anchors.
The U. S steamer De Rossett and John
R. Thompson were despatched to her as
sistance and but barely succeeded in saw
ing some fifty lives before she went down.
The pilot boat Ariel was lost the same
day, a large sea splitting open her wood
ends. Cargo and crew saved.

Brig. Gen. Hamer died at Montery a
few days ago, contamination Of the bow

Gen. Butler will remain in command at
Monterey.
Gen. Taylor was to move, in column,
on the 9th, 9th, and 10th inst, for Victoria,
with about 1900 men. Victoria is equi-
distant from Monterey and Tampico, and
it was supposed that Gen. Taylor would
make that place his head quarters.
No further demonstration would be made
towards San Luis Potosi until further Or
ders from our Government.
Gen. Taylor had imprisoned the Alcalde
of Monterey and his son, and several ual-
iemte hombres, for furnishing money and
horses to deserters from the American ar
my. Old Rough and Ready, it is said, had
threatened to hang this dignitary and his
accomplices.
Gen. Wool was at Paris, 100 miles north
of Chihuahua, with 1000 men. Gen.
Worth was at Saltillo, and will shortly
have under his command 1000. Colonel
Riley was at Monte Moreles with about
1000 men. Gen. Pillow was to move to
Victoria on the 18th.
Santa Anna had sent out detachment
of20OO men to destroy the water tanks be-
tween Saltlllo and San Luis Potosi.

FROM MEx1co.-The steamer Massa-
chusetts has arrived at New Orleans, bring
ing news from Tampico up to the 18th
ult. There is much excitement in Tampi-
co, in consequence of reports of large
body of Mexican cavalry being near that
place.
Gen. Jessup arrived at Brazos on the 18th.
Gen. Taylor was preparing to leave
Monterey for Victoria, with Twigg's and
Smiths Division, where Gen. Urea is said
to be with six thousand Mexican's. Santa
Anna has dismissed all his officers whom
he suspected of cowardice. His soldiers
are very enthusiastic. Several others re-
ported in prison. The Hospital at Mata-
moras is full of sick soldiers.

RAW MA, OHIO:
Wednesday, January 8. Isas.
Death of Thomas i. Hamer.

The following brief announcement will
be found in another column of our paper,
in letter from the Army; "Brig. Gen.
HAMER died at Montereya few days ago,
of inflammation of the bowels"
Gen. Hamer was well known to the citi-
zens of this, his native State. He was one
of Ohio's noblest sons. He lived in
Georgetown, Brown county, where he en-.
joyed a very large and lucrative law prac-
tice. He was for several years member
Of Congress, and was again elected at the
last October election by large majority
over his Federal opponent. He has been
a member ofthe State Legislature and fill.
ed other offices of trust, with honor to the
State and credit to himself. When the
war broke out with Mexico, he was among
the very first to tender his services to- fight
in defence of the flag Of his country. A
fine volunteer company was raised in Brown
county, and by common conset Gen. Ha-
mer was called upon to take command. It
was not long until the "Brown County
Boys" as we'll as the entire Ohio Regi-
ment, were in the midst of the exciting
scenes which terminated so glorious to the
American arms. At the storming of Mon.
terey, Gen. Hamer acted conspicous part
his GOODNESS and bravery on that occasion
won for him universal applause. But
Death has closed his brilliant career. A.
way from the home ofhis childhood-away
from his associates and kinsmen--away
from an af1ectionate wife, and an interest,".
ing family, he has paid the debt Of Nature,
in a far distant cline. His death will be-
sensible felt by the people Of this State, and
his loss deeply deplored among the noble
volunteers. i
