The Whigs have swept the State fore and aft, leaving scarcely a spot to show where Loco Focoism was. The Legislature is largely Whig in both ranches. Even Baltimore has virtually surrendered to the Whigs. After a des perately hard-fought Rattle, the Whig Senator (the first one ever chosen in the City) was elected by one vote thus se curing a Senator, go6d and true; for six Years. L,et this be rememDered nereaiter, and cited to illustrate the value of one vote. The Whigs also elected two Dele gates; one of them John P. Kennedy, for merely in Congress, and a gentleman of brilliant talents. The majority in eaqh branch will be ample for all purposes. The Baltimore papers attribute this vic tory, mainly, to Mr. Polk's tampering with the.Tariff.

Day, Captain Wood, arrived from Brazos Santiago a bout 10 o'clock this morning, By her we have received the glorious news that Mon terey HAS CAPITULATED, AFTER THREE DAYS OF DESrERATE FIGHTING. We cannot delay the press to attempt to write out a narration of the battles. The following i" memoranda" are from the pen of an officer who was in the battles. Gen. Worth,i who led the attack upon the city on the I west side, has immortaliz ed himself, j The fighting was desperate on our side, the Mexicans out numbering us by two to one, and being protected by strong entrenchments. Almost all our different accounts set down our loss at 500 or over, of whom 300 were killed.: That best tells the cha racter of the fight. Picayune, Oct. 4. On the 19th Gen. Taylor arrived be fore Monterey, vi'ith a force of about 0000 men, and after reconnoitering the city at about 1500 or 1C00 yards from the Cathe dral fort, during H.vhich he was fired upon from its batteries, his force was encamp ed at the Walnut Springs, 3 miles short of the city. This was the nearest posi tion at which the army could obtain a sup Hi Xrfn(1 S: WGrf uf lh Bul in their boasting we hear ,:,L ,j .,:r ;:MT ''P01!- notinn2 vviiiiiii; int. niuurp ni t h . i . : : - i. should prospect of. success offer to carry ihe -most advanced battery, This attack was directed by Maj. Mansfield, Engin eer, Capt WTillfams, Topographical En gineer, and Major Kinney, Q. M. to the Texas Division.' ' A heavy fire from the first battery was immediately opened up on the advance, but the troops soph turn ed it, entering and engaging with the en emy in the streets of the city, having pass ed through an incessant cross fire from the Citadel and the first and second batteries, and from the infantry who lined the para pets, streets and house tops of ! the city. The rear of the first battery? was; . soon turned, and the reverse fire of tbej troops through the gorge of the works, killed or dislodged the artillerists and infantry from it, and the! building occupied by infantry immediately in its rear. The 1st Division was followed and supported by the Mis sissippi and Tennessee and 1st Ohio Re giments, the two former regiments be ing the first to scale and occupy the fort. The success of the day here stopped. The Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio Re giments, though warmly engaged in the streets of the city for some time after the capture of the first battery and its adjoin ing defences, were unable, from exhaus tion and the loss they had suffered, to gain more advantage. A heavy shower of rain also came up to cause a suspension of hos tilities before the close of the day. The 3d, 4th and 1st Infantry and the Baltimore Battallion, remained as the garrison of the captured position, under Col. Garland, assisted by Capt. Ridgely's battery. Two 12 pounders, one 4 pounder, and 1 howit zer, were captured in this fort, three offi cers and some 20 or 30 men taken prison ers. One of the 12 pounders was served against the 2d fort and defences, with cap tured ammunition, during the remainder of the day, by Capt. Ridgely. The storm ing parties of Gen. Worth's Davision also captured two nine pounders, which were also immediately turned against their for mer owners. On the morning of the 22d Gen. Worth continued his operations, and portions of his division stormed and carried succes sively the heights above the Bishop's Pal ace. Both were carried by a command under Capt. Vinton, 3d Artillery. In these operations the company ot Louisiana troops under Capt. Blanchard performed efficient and gallant service as part of Capt. Vinton's command. Four pieces of artillery, with a good supply of ammuni tion, were captured in the Bishop's Palace this day, some of which were immediate ly turned upon the enemy's defences in the city. On the evening of the 22d, Col. Garland and his command were relieved as the garrison of the captured forts by Gen. Quitman with the Mississippi and Tennessee Regiments, and five companies of the Kentucky Regiment. Early on the morning of the 23d, Gen. Quitman, from his position, discovered that the second and third forts and defences east of the city had been entirely aban- ! doned by the enemy who, apprehending i another assault on the night of the 22d, j had retired from all his defences to the j main plaza and its immediate vicinity. A command of two companies of Missis sippi and two of Tennessee troops were then thrown into the streets to rec6nnoi tre, and soon became hotly engaged with the enemy, these were soon supported by Col. Wood's regiment of Texas Rangers, dismounted, by Bragg's Light Battery and the 3d Infantry ; the enemy's fire was con stant and uninterrupted from the streets, house tops, barricades, &c. &c. in the vi- Villi VJ Jk IUV -M C , The pieces of Bragg's battery were al so used with much effect far into the heart of the city this engagement lasted the best part of the day, our troops having driven the scattered parties of the enemy, and penetrated quite to the defences of the main plaza. The advantage thus gained, it was not considered necessary to hold, as the enemy had permanently a bandoned the city and its defences except the main plaza, its immediate vicinity and the Cathedral fort or Citadel.
