Col. Duncan removed his command to a ranehe

where Gen. Worth took up.his position,. after
o rdering the foot regiments to form along the
woo , near the point of the ridge. The. artil

the Louisiana volunteers remained to this po
sition about two - hours. directly under the fire
of the enerny's gone' (now, tiro), The balls
fell directly in their midst all this time without
wounding a man. To begin with, the Mexi
can' ;image their artillery in battery as well
a s the Americans do--this I believe is now
conceded by every officer. At half-past 10 °the
column moved towards the geheral's position.
At this time. Capt. McKaveit, of the Bth in
rowy, was shut through the heart by a nine
pounder ball, and a prfille 'of the sth infantry
wa s so severely wound ill in the thigh that he
died the next morning. About 50 Mexicans

Capt. C. F. Smith, of the, artillery battalion.
with two companies (his own & Capt. Scott's)
and four companies Texan Rangers on foot,
were ordered to storm the second height.—
This the gallant offiCer cheerfully undertook,
and was followed with enthusiasm by the offi
cers and Men of his command. It was consid
end on all sides to be the most dangerous un
dertaking. and this party was considered molt
emphatically a forlorn hope. ' That the height

seemed inevitable. The distance to be climb
ed after reaching the foot of the hill was about
a quarter of a wale ; a part of the wars was al
most and through thorn hushes
and over sharp-pointed rocks and loose sliding
canes.
The 7th infantry. 'commanded by Captain
Miles. was ordered -to support Captain Smith's
party ; and by marching directly to the foot of
the height; arrived before Captain Smith. who
lad been ordered to take a circuitous, route.—
Captain Miles sent up Lieutenant Gantt. with
a detachment of men, upon the hillside, to di•
vert the attention of the enemy from Captain
Smith's command. which could not let be
leen. The 7th had already sustained a heavy
tire of grape and round shot as they forded'the
San Juan, which winds around the foot of the
height, which fell like a shower Of hail in their
rants, without killing a man. Lieutenant
Gantt's party were -greeted with grape and
round shot, which cut the shrubs And tore up
the loose stones in the ranks, without killinw
any one ; but the gallant young officer came
within an inch of being killed by a cannon ball.
which raked down the steep, and tilled his face
with fragments of 'rock, dust, and gravel. This
fire was accompanied by a constant discharge
of musketry, the enemy covering the tipper
part of the hillside ; but the detachment
continued to move up. thriving the Mexicans
bark.until they were recalled. Captain Smith's
party sow arrived and moved up the hill, the
rangers in advance, and did not halt for an in•
stain until the Mexicans were driven from the
W hilst this was going on. Colonel
Persifer F. Smith. who commanded! the sth
and the 7th infantry—the sth,ivith Blanchard's
Louisiana boys, u n der Major Marlin Scott. had
been ordered to support the whole—gave, or
der, for these commands to pass around on
each side and storm the fort, which was situat
ed about half a mile back of the summit, on
the same ridge, and commanded the Bishop's
olive. Such a foot race as now ensued has
seldom, if ever been seen, the Louisiana boys
making the lanais' kind of strides to be in with
the 'foremost. Captain Smith had the gun
which die took upon the height, -run down to
wards the breastworks and fired into it Then
rune Col. P. F. Smith's men, with a perfect
rush, firing and cheering—the sth and 7111 and
Louisianians reaching the ridge above nearly
at the same time. The Mexicans fired at them
with grape, but did not save them, or cause an
instant's hesitation in our ranks. Our men
run end fired, and cheered, until 'they reached
the work. the 'foremost entering at one end.
whilst the Mexicans. about 1000 in number.

infantry were instantly raised, and scarcely
were they up before those of the 7th were
along side. The three commands entered the
foritogether, so close was - the race—the sth,
however, getting an advance in first. J. W.
Miller. of Blanchard's company. was among
the first four or five Niro entered. The three
commands may be said to have come out even
in the race, for the seventh was nut five sec
onds behind. In less thane minute the gun

Bishop's Palace ! More antiotinition was found
than oar troops will use with the three gulls
that were captured. One of the guns was found

Several mules, and half a dozen •beautiful tents
were likewise, captured. Killed, none.—

MONTEREY. Mexico, Sept. 25.1846.
Gerritstasw:• The City has capitulated on
the following terms: The Mexican soldiers
shall be permitted to march out of town with
their small arms and six small field pieces.
leaving all their munitions of war behind, with
all their
,artillery and public stores. They are
to retire. to 'Linares. sixty, miles hence, and
about thirtymiles north of Saltillo. and are not
to approach nearer than that to this place with
in sixty days, or until each party can hear from
its 'respective government. Ampudia kept
General Taylor until nejly midnight last night
prepiring the. terms:llm. -Many persons, par
ticularly the` Texan voludteers who fought so
bravely, are displeased at these terms. The
town. wasall but in our hands, and they believe
could haite been taken in three hours. I be. it would have required much more
hard fighting to have taken it. but this was not
the question with 'Gen. Taylor. He and all
his officers knew perfectly well, of course, that
the town could soon be taken, but he wanted
no prisoners to take up his lime and eat his
substance, but he did have an object in view
which will be reached by the terms of this ca.
pitulation, and that object will lead to a result
most beneficial to our government. As I have
a few momenta to spare before the express
goes out this morning (lie was detained last
night by the slow progress of business with
Ampudia) I will speak of the operations of
Gen. Tayloi on his side of the town.
-Major Mansfield. of the engineers, recon.
noitred the enemy's works on die night of the
19th, but could obtain no very accurate infor
mation, although he approSched very near to
some of them on the, heights. On the 20th
Lieut. Scarritt and Lieut. Pope were sent out
to reconnoitre the works; Scarritt on the right
and Pope on the left of the town. The latter
approached and discoirered the position of a
battery an the extreme left, and was exposed
to a fire of 'cannon and. musketry from lancers,
from which. after finishing his observations, lie
retired in safety. On the nightol the 20th the
mortar and howitzer batteries were placed in a
position to play on the strung holds around the
citadel. The action commenced on the morn
ing of the 21st, by the opening of these two
batteries. Col. Garland's brigade were order
ed to move to the lett,for the purpose of storm
ii.g the battery discoiiered by Lieut. Pope the
day before. and to occupy, if possible, the low
er part of the city. Major Mansf,elif. Capt.
Williams, and Lieut. Pope were ordered in
advance , to select the most available point of
attack, and to direct the movements of the
column upon it. Three companies were thrown
forward as skirmishers and advanced rapidly
towards the works. followed by the brigade in
line of battle water a cross fire of artillery from
the citadel and fort. and a heavy fire of musket
ry. The column charged in the street 200 yards
to the right of the battery, passed the works
entirely.. and effected an entrance to the town.
After advancing rapidly about 400 yards he
vond the battery. they came immediately in
front of a masked battery of artillery and mus
ketry. which swept the tree( completely by
its range. The barricade of the streets it
sixty tardsdistancefrum th headof the column,
were lined with Mex:can troops, who, entirely
covered themselves. opened ti murderous tdis
charge of grape and musketry upon the advanc
ing column. Every:houae in the street was
pierced for musketry, and enfiladed the street
in every direction. Under this fire the follow
ingOffieer were killed, or mortally wounded :
Major Barbour, 3d infantry, by grape shot in
the abdomen ; Captain Williams, Topographi
cal engin• er, shot through the body by a mus
ket ball, fell in the street„and was dragged in•
to the doorway of a house by Lietitertant Pope
amidst a shower of balls, that covered him with
dust. The gallantry Of this young officer, now
in his first battle, is spoken of in admiration
by the ar ny. Captain Williams died the next
day, and was burned with the honors of war by
the Alexicati trodps, into whose hands he had
fallen. Lieutennant 'Perrin. Ist infantry, shot
through the body, died the next day.
It bang impossible. in the opinion of the
engineer officers, to effect anything in attark 7
ing the tarricatles in front, ;he column moved
rapidly up a street to the right, with the inten
tion of turning them.. Being reinforced by the
Ohio reo * iment,. a second charge was made un
der the direction of General Butler ; which.
owing to the tremendous fire of musketry and
grape trout the barricades and stone houses,
likewise proved ineffectual. The troops wits
Oleo ordered by General Taylor to retire in
good order and get under. cover from the ene
my's fire ; which order was handsomely exe
cuted.-
During the engagement in town Of Garland's
brigade, the forts that were passed on the left
to entering the town, were gallantly - carried by
the Tennessee and ississippi regunents—the
first commanded by Col. Campbell, and the
second by Gol. Davis. Lieut. Col. M'Clung.
of the Mississippi regiment. was dangerously
wounded. These regiments sustained a great
tole. of killed and wounded, butt cannot in the
short time left one, ascertain the names or num
ber of those who fell. Capt. Bragg's battery
of light artillery was brought into action, but
as it was impossible to use it electively, it was
withdrawn. Several pieces of artillery were
captured. The forts that were taken were oc
cupied by Ridgely's light artillery company,
who turned the eaptnred pieces against the
Mexican works, and the cannonade was kept
up the• rest of the day. There were many
skirmishes, and gallant deeds, &c., which I
will mention at a future time.
On the night of the 22d the enemy abandon
ed the two works which !Ad , proved so de
structive to the 3d and 4th infantry, and they
were occupied early next morning by the Mis
sissippi and Tennessee . regiments, under Gen.
Quitman. About 8 o'clock, same morning,
these two rigiments advanced on thetown, and
a sharp engagement commenced. These regi
ments\were supported by a body of Texan
Hangeri(dismounted• for the occasion.) under
General Henderson, and by the' 3d regiment
of infantry. The fight was kept up until 4
o'clock, p. m.. \ iduring which time our • troops
drove the enemy from house to house, almost
to the mainiplaSa.., The loss of life on oureide
was not severe (luring this day. - On the mortar
jog' of the 24tIr. a flag 'of untie - war sent la.
which resulted in the capitulation of the town.
During'the whale of the erigageinent
21st. Col. Kinney was'eiceedingly' nseful in
carrying 'bidets. and in giving advice tu matters
with which hit thorough acquaintance'-with
Mexican customs. rendered him_ familiar. He
was in the thickest of the fight, moving abOut
from point to point. 'and doing good execution
with his rifle:- This gentleman' s services have
been invaluable to Oen, Taylor in the move
ments of the army from Matamoros to this place.
He has been everywhere. reconnoitering the
country. and procuring 'information—riding
night and day. and exposing his life in a thou
sand ways. The colonel never flinched from
any duty regoired of dim, led: bad Gen- Tay

P. S. Our killed and Wounded, in taking
Monterey, amounted to about five. hundred.
