LH. Long, and priv: , fought like herees, and esc: Major General Butler was wounded in the legin the early part of the action, and the command of the whole division devolved on Brigadier Gen. Hamer, who acted with coolness and bravery throughout. The .ddvertiser issued an extra yesterday afternoon, giving a letter from a friend at head-quartors of the ar: my of occupation, dated “ By Monterey, September from which the following is an extract:— 1 Butler was wounded inthe leg early in the ommand of course devolved upon ter neral Hamer. His coolness and deliberation is the theme of general remark The boys call him our ‘Sledge Hammer.” During the ist, Dr. Chamberlain was the only su in camp, and all the cases of wounded that came were thrown upon his hands. His labor was incredible.” Tho writer also says :—‘ The first Ohio regiment was in the hottest part of the fight all day, but did not suffer as much os the Tennessee and Miainappi regiments. Col. Mitchell is wounded severely in the leg, ty atwo ounce ball pi ing through it below the knee, but is do- ing well. Adjt. Armstrong, of the Cadets, a noble and gallant fellow, has bad his fee amputated.” (From the Maysville Eagle.) eldom heard an old soldier recount the his- and “fight his battles o’er again” with incerity, or more honest enthusiasm, than a friend exhibited in our sanctum, on Saturday, while reading of the gallant conduct of hisJold chum, “ Will Worth.” They were clerks together thirty-five years ago, in Hudsen, New Yor! lever, industrious young engaged in the action was 2dth, 1846,” “Gel men. Our ftiend by no means lacked spirit, but was of rather a quiet, business turn, while Worth was of a yous, quick temperament, with a fie reat ition—daring, confident, an jent .” While thus employed, a recruiting sergeant— for it was in the early part of the late war with England —paraded the streets of Hudson, drumming up “ young enerals” to fight for ‘ free le and sailor's rf ‘shard nough had transpired already to rouse to the highest pitch all Worth’s martial ardor, and without a second thought he becamo a soldie y our Massachusetts ‘oud, bold stock, igh hat aristocratic bearing. 'Some of the ily had intermarried with the noblest and bravest of the Indians of New England, thus uniting the best blood of the Aborigines and of the primitive settlers of the Old Bay State. Worth, when young, to all the ene: ticand freeborn nature of the Anglo-American, added the roaming, restless, warrior dispositien of the red man of the forest. With a broad forehead, high-check bones, piercing eye, stout, athletic frame, quick, warm blood, and a brave and fearless heart—the war offered the op- portunity to make of such material a valiant soldier and a successful officer. Worth had been garrisoned for some months at 6 when the misconduct ofa fellow soldier set him upon the first round of the ladder. Worth wasa brother, then, ag now, to a soldier in distress, and encouraged his fellow, after he had been made known the penalty of his conduct, to make to the commanding officer @ representation of the affair in writing. He pleaded his ignorance and want of skill in writing, and the probability of failure. “Here, give me a pea,” said Worth, and in alow minutes, dashed off, in a clear, bold hand and unassuming manner, a few lines vindicating the soldier in strong terms, and presenting his ease in a view not entertained before’ The soldier presented it to his officer—* Did you write this?” was quickly asked, and answere: the negative. “Who did?” “Private Worth, sir.” “ Send Private Worth to me.” Inafew minutes Worth presented himself with the same rather blustering and c air that £. r. ‘iend informed us, were from Sundry questions were asked as to er occupation, object in entering the army, &c., which ere answered in the @ positive and reckless tone, and Worth was dismissed with “ Come tomy marquee in the morning.” There was so little that was encouraging in the Commander's tone, that Worth was totally uncon- scious of the good fortune in store for him when he ap- peared next merning, and the officer observed “I want you for my private secretary” qcihis war enough for Worth. His acti jo : resolute and rmined manner, and commanding appearance, struck crutinizing eye of General Scott, when they first met, who forthwith selected him as his Aid. Opportu- nity’ soon occurred, and in the early part of the battle of Lundy’s Lane, while charging bravely upon the ene- my, Worth, fell, it was fag prea mortally wounded. No ove who has ever read the history of that battle,—almost unparalleled in the severity of the contest, the obstinacy with which the veterans of England maintained their ground, and the irrepressi lor which marked every charge of the Americans, in the face ef bayonets and eamnon,—can fail to appreciats the intrepidity and gal- lant bearing of Worth on that occasion. When he & two of his soldiers attempted to bear him from the fiek when a ball struck one of them, scattering his brains over Worth and his companion. The other seized him in his arms, and carried him from the reach of the ene- my. His friends mourned him as dead, and montha elapsed before his wounds had so far healed as to enable him to return to the service But we have not time to follow him through hie vari- ous successes and promotions, and his gallant and disti guued conduct in the Florida war. ‘The part he acted in the capture ef Monterey was bold, deliberate, and eminently successful. They underrated his military ta- lents, who supposed his commendable determi add laurels to his name, to atone for his unfortu’ sence from the army on the memorable 8th and 9th of May, would urge him headstrong into the fight, heedless of his own life or the lives of his men. orth was al- ways bold, intrepid, sometimes reckless of consequences when duty prompted ; but calm and collected, when knew suceess hung upon coel, deliberate and deci: i overnment has rewarded his worth by steady promotion, and his countrymen, with one voici bestowed “ honor upon whom honor is due.” The wise act of the President, in the whele conduct of the war, was that which reused Worth’s proffered re and restored him to the Army and his country a. [From the Louisville Journal, Oct. 27.) Letters have been received in Louisville from several officers of the legion, giving interesting details of the three days fight, and stating their own participation in the brilliant affair. It appears that the Louisville volun- teers did their part, and that their hardships and trials severe. They were exposed to the deadly fire of Mexicans for forty-eight hours, having time for neither rest mor food. One of the forts annoyed them very much, and from its strength, was nicknat Little Gibraltar. Its walls were eight thick. Five com- panies of the legion took possession of this fort, under a terrible fire from the enemy, without the killed, and with but ten wounded. Whi the fort they found fifty d troops were drenched with rain, and m but a scanty supply of clothing. entucky Riflemen, wi to enter, and they were quite lucky in doing so, for they teok immediate possession of the dead Mexicans’ coats, which they transferred to their own backs, and found them quite comfertable.

A Visit to the Battle Field and City—Mexican Batteries —Barricades, $c. ‘This morning | visited ‘the memorable battle field of the mountain city. Where the murderous cannon roar ed, and the brave and accomplished officer and soldier sealed their devotion to their country as they fell in its defence, now all is hushed in the qui. scent complacency of deep and solemn stillness. Where was heard the hor- rid groans of the dying, and was seen the pale and quiv- ering lip, and throbbing brow, now is heard nothing but the moening breeze rustling the leaves of the orange grove; and is seen the fresh mound, with no obeliscal stone to tell where lie the mouldering remains of the noble dead. Peace and quiet reign on the bloody field, and may they evercontinue. I have seen the horrors of war depicted in the most awful form that the liveliest imegination, and the strength of rful words could convey, but my idea of its dreadfulness was but faint, until I saw falling around me the dead, dying and wound. ed; and I, poor soldier, compelled to rush impetuow forward, trampling them under my feet, heedless of their tearsand agony. { have not the slightest wish to witness another like scene. _ [passed through the low of the city thie motn- ing, and from what I saw it a “ splen place.”’ I I description.

The following letter was written for thi few friends, and without the most distant id ever see the light. The modest writer, though he has done good service in our former battles, would be the last to publish his own deeds or those of his regiment or corps. Himself the son of an officer of the army, he has been reared in a school which teaches the lesson of sol- dierly propriety, that after one’s individual duty has been well performed on the field, it belongs to others to relate his exploits. Yet so clear and graphic is the nar- rative, that I have ventured to incur the writer's displea- sure by giving it to the Herald :— Monterey, Mexico, Sept. 28, 1946. On the 24th, I had but time to write you a few words, to announce to you my safety and the triumph of our arms. Before this reaches you, special messenger to Washington will have arrived, with thejparticulars of our recent engagements with the Mexican army. As to operations on the east side of the city, | can give you no account, as I have not as yet heard them in detail from any one engaged. Trimphy know that the Ist division under Col. Garland, (Col. Twiggs being sick) and the volunteers under Major General Butler after taking one of their forts, entered the town, and became engaged in astreot fight, in which they were terribly cut up y the cross fire of the Mexican cannon and infantry, who were posted in the houses filled with loop.holes, The car- hage was dreadful from all accounts. ' I will relate the operation of the 2d division, (Worth’s) Ont we moved from our encampment at the Walnut and marched in the direction of the west of the cit with the intention of attacking that pert, and cutting oi the retreat should one be attempted. We encamped about half a mile from the main road to Saltillo. In the merning the march was and we had just reached the Saltillo road, uard, com of monnted Texans, wes attacked by four or five hundred of the Mexican cavalry, The wae made partly on the plain, and partly on'the of the hill around which the road wi .

It was by one of these that | Capt. McKavett was killed. ‘We advanced out of the range of their guns and halted Capt. C. F. Smith of the 2d artiliery was sent with four companies (C. F. Smith’s, Shackelford’s 24 artillery, and | Snead’s and Phelp’s 4th artillery) to storm one of the heights on the south-west of the city. The Mexicans ‘ soon discovered the movement, and as the hill was near- ly two miles from our position, they commenced firing round shot towards the ¢ it approached the bill | The command reached the foot of the heiht and there | rested, ulihough fexicau infantry were pouring their musketry int th’s xegulars were accompenied | by about 250 Texans.” After resting they sommenced the ascent, driving the Mexican infantry from their po- sition on the summit and capturing a piece of artillery. Tassure you it was beautifully done. ‘The Mexicans on seeing our movements towards this height, sent a acon re-inforcement of infantry from the hill to the north an: nearest the city Gen. Worth ordered the 5th and 7th in- fantry out in support of Smith's command. After the | first height was carried, the entire command under Gen. Smith (the new Colonel of the mounted riflemen) pro- ceeded to take a battery farther down, and on the road leading to this hill from the town. It was gallantly cur- | and the enemy was now comptetely driven from height.

We reached the bottom of the hill at day-light and commenced ascending, but had not pro- ceeded far before the Mexican infantry poured their fire into us.

During the morning, the enemy attempted twice fo charge with a strong body of cavalry, but the galling fire of the infantry and Texans completely defeated them. At last, about 3 P. M., they attempted their last charge— like the oth resulted in defeat. The men reserved their fire until they were within a few yards of us, when they poured it into them, and ‘‘up and at them” with their ba: Those looking on from the goposite bank, speak oi a beautiful sight.

Three pieces of arti'lery were taken fin the Bishop’s palace. ‘The afternoon was passed in giving them an occasional shot from the 12 pounder howitzers, and in moving our camp from our eld position.

A part of our troops went from house to house, by. broaking through the walls, and gained the housetops, from which a fight was kept up all the afternoon. ‘Ihe balls flow a little thicker and faster than at Resaca. ‘The i fantry rattled and the artillery roared all the whole ternoon, but with a slight loss on our side. ‘The firing was kept up at intervals through the night, and resumo: early the next morning About 8 or 9 o'clock, A.M. on the 24th, a flag of truce wassent in, offering to capitulate on honorabie terms.— Hottilities were suspended, and conferences held be- tween Generals Taylor and Ampudia. At first General 'T. demanded the unconditional surrender of the whole Mexican army, but a compromise was made, of which you havo been informed, ‘The place itself is oyp vast fortress. Nearly every streot was barricaded, gid every house full of loop holes. ‘Their main work in front of the city, and regularly bas- tioned, could have been taken only by regular a) proaches. @n the est of the town are three small works. The heights on the west, and particularly the Bish p palace, were impregnable, the attacking and deten ing forces being at ull equal. We have taken 35 ieces of artillery, and enough ammunition of all kinds through a campaign. The Mexican troops, though having seven days to evacuate, are nearly all gone ; a part, under General Riquosua left to-day, As soon as all vacate, the 2d di- vision will occupy the main plaza.

Kearney, with about eight hun- ¢e4 men, left town on an excursion south. We it to a village Tonie, about one hundred miles distant. We struck the Rio Grande twenty-seven miles from this place, at a village called San Domi, ‘0, inhabit- ed by the Puebla Indians. Our reception at this village was quite a grand affair, the principal men and braves of the tribe met us #ix wiles from the town, and escorted us ; the braves were mounted on their best hors dressed in the most gaudy apparel, and armed and equip: ped in the same manner a# when they go out for the pur- pose of fig! Wh e General passed the head of their columns, they fired off their guns, and then one file on each side of our companies proceeded to and then wheeled and came down close to our line at the to) of the speed of their horses, yelling and going throug I the manceuvres of a regular charg ey met again at the head of our columns, fired at each other with their pistols, made passes with their lances, and then filed off and returned to head of our compa: This was repeated several , to the great admiration and asto- nishment of all who witnessed it I have never seen better horsemenany where, and from what I could discover, | should take them to be formidable in battle, if properly armed. ‘They are fine looking men, and much superior in every respect to the Mexican population. They ha: a very fine village, most splendid vineyards, and appear tobe much more comfortable in every respect than the Mexicans, When got into the village, we were ir vited into the priest’s house, where a most sumptuous repast was set out, consisting of the besi grapes | ever saw, melons, apples, cakes, and with liquor sufficient to wash them down. x There is at this town,’quite an extensive church, to which is attached the priest’s house, where he his wives or concubines. The priest at this place has four— two of them are quite geod looking. After our repast, the General made a speech to the citizens, who appeared quite well pleased ; they then escorted us out of town, and we went on our way rejoicing, with full stomachs, and every man with just liquor enough in him to make him feel patriotic. ‘This was the only Indian village we visited. After we left San Domingo, we passed through vil- lages evory eight or{ten miles, until we reached the vil- lage of Tonie. Most of them, however, were quite small, and the inhabitants, with the exception of two or three men in each, are a poor miserable set. ‘The only villages on the Rio Grande that we visited worthy of note, are San Domingo, San Phillippe, Alba- querque, and Toni. Albaquerque was the residence of Armijo. We halted a short time at this place, going and returning. General Kearney called on the late Gover- nor’s wite, and passed an hour or two, as he told me,very loasanfly. She is said to be an intelligent woman, and Seported herself with much propriety. Her husband, (Armijo) it is said, has gone to the Passo, and it is sup- posed, will continue on to the city of Mexico. The people near the town of Toni, und the inhabitants of the different villages have heard of our intended visit, and the General so arranged our marches as to bring us to town the evening befero the annivérsary of their patron Saint, a great day with the inhabitants of that re- gion of country; and | assure you it was a great day not only with them, but to all who were present ; there was an immense concourse of |peo) men, women, chil- dren, Mexicans, Indians, and white folke ‘They had fire-works, which were gotten up in le, the town was illuminated, they hada re, is, aplay in the open yard, which appeared to, be received by the inhabitants, they also had a fan- dango, which was not only crowded, but jammed and crowded to overflowing ; the beauty and fashion were thera, and to my astonishment I found some of the wo- men quite handsome: During the day there was mass said, and the Virgin was paraded around the streets, followed by the princfpal men of the town, also by Gea. Kearney and his staff, with lighted in their hands. The priest at Tonie joined in the waltz, and appeared as jovial and as much Lp ne to participate in all the amusements as any one else.

Since writing the above, we learn than a gentleman arrived in this city, who declares that he leit Havana on the 15th inst.; and that the ber of vessels lest thore by the effect of tho gale exceeds sixty. Whether this be a fabrication or not we cannot say. Several ves- sels were suddenly taken up yesterday for Havana, and large operations were made in produce, as if for that mar- ket; but whether they wore based upon the arrival of th mysterious stranger, or merely speculative move ments, we are totally ignorant. [From the New Orleans Bulletin, Oct. 24.] Never, we believo, in the am f American com- merce, has there been a season so d trous to shipping as the present autumn.

In fact, from these re- ports, it would appear as if the whole ocean was strewn with wrecks, and fragments of wrecks. Our accounts of the disasters at sea caused by the hur- ricane of the llth, extend only to Havana and Key West. It visited Charleston om the same day, end reached Baltimore and Philadelphia on the 12th, #o that there is reason to anticipate accounts of further disasters along the whole coast. How far North it travelled we do not knew, as the New York papers, which would have given an account of it—had it extended there—have not yet come to hand.
