With this serial war abip hanging a mile above the fort, supplied with a thousand! percuseioned bomb shells, the Castle of Vera Cnix could be taken, he thiuks, without the Iocs of a shijle life to the army, and at an expense that would b comparatively nothing to what it will be to take by the common mode of attack. As Mr. Wimuiiderstaudi the operation, he is the very man Xo entrant with this important undertaking. Should betake this redoubtable fortress by these novel means, he will acquire a renown that will go far ta rival the claims of General Taylor to the next Presidency. FROM WESTERN TEXAS. We have received the Texas Advocate, of the 15th 9)L published at Victoria. Laoiert Lamertt, a German, was killed on the 2d lilt, by a fall from his horse. H was employed by the Government as a translates He formerly re tided ia Missouri and has a sister living in St. Louis. A letter is published iu tb Advocate, dated near Santonio, oa the 28th ulL, from which we extract the fallowing: i Another duel came off yesterday morning between Lieut. 8. G. Ward and Mr. Thomas Yeatmau ; the gentlemen, 1 believe, are both from Tennessee, and the difficulty arose from Lieut. Ward's refusing to speak to Mr. Yeatmaa. Rumor says that a young lady was the chief cause. Neither of them are much injured. At the first fire Lieut. W. was slightly wounded la the leg, and at the second fire Mr. Yett Maa was wouuded in the shoulder, when he said he Was satisfied. : Mr. Montreville' C, Rountre committed tuicide in Lavacca couuty, Texas, on the 5th ult. A friend ay of him in the Advocate : Hi father live near Hickory Grave, Warren coun ty, Missouri. The unfortunate young man came to Texas about tea ysar ago ; for the last two year he bad same faithfully a a Texan Ranger; he bore th character of an industrious and brave young man, and leave many old companions to mourn bis fate. - MONEY VS.

State Bara Panar Dcstruction or Kkt West, . " In addition to tha particular published in another column, wa have seen a Letter from an Officer on board the Brig Perry, to a gentleman in this City ; and though not hiteuded fur publication, we are per milled to lay the following interesting extract before our readers: 'Jokbsexo Key, Oct. Uth, 1846. Since I last wrote you, I have witnessed sue of tho moat awful. and terrible scenes, that fulls to the lot of man ever to behold. Beggaring, as it does, all description, I can give you hut a faint idea of what we passed tfiroug h, leaving to yoar imagination, tha task of any approximation to the reality.. The Perry encountered ou the Illh iust. the most ever and destructive hurricane that ever happened in this Gulf, prolific a it hen been in frightful tem pests. Our good little Ship weathered it until she was driven on "the Florida reefs, about 35 miles te N. E. of Kay West, and I suppose about 50 iron Can Jaw bK W Ifttfcjrlavafcsaa on the 16th, with Commodore Sloat aud-lareOjOfltcera eu beard wbo came front oar Pacific Squadron via Panama and to Havanua in the B. Mail Steamer. We were to take him to Nor folk and you may possibly conceive how- rejoiced we were with the prospect of soon seeing our friends. ' Alas for human expectations! The wind was fresh when we left the Bay, and the Barometer had fallen a little. Cant. Blake, who is an extreme ly prudent and sagacious Commander, w a somewhat fearful of going to sea ; but a Com. Sloat was anx ious to reacli Washington, and ail of us a anxious to ail, and by no means anticipating a hurricane, (at it was later in the season than oue had ever happened before,) we weighed anchor and went out with single reefed topsails. Before, however, we were five milee from JMoro Castle, we had to reduce sail, ana aiuarn it was blowing very fresh. Wa prepared for a gale, by taking down top-gallant mast, and during the night nao to lie to, unaer mniu auu iuio ujr mi auu uiui stay sail. Capt. Blake did not sleep a wink during th night, for the Barometer continued to fall. Mean while it blew very heavily, and at about 5 o'clock on Sunday morning, one of our boats went. All the hatches were battered down, so that no water could get below. I wasou deck soon after the quarter-boa? was blown away, and never saw it blow so heavily, though none as yet anticipated what was to come. About 10, when we were all below except the Offi cers on the deck, we were struck violently on our beam-ends by a hurricane the sea coming over her side without an obstacle to oppose it. A voice in the wardroom exclaimed " She is gone !" Every one expected the vessel had swamped. How vain are words to describe the agony of that moment ! It was tha first intimation we had of the extremity of the danger we were in. The water was pouring down below in torrents, and the hatches so fastened down that we eould not get on deck. She righted was again knocked down ou her sides ; agaiu she righted and we, resolving not to stay below and perish by a lingering suffocation, succeeded in getting on deck with whatever we could throw around us. I was bare-footed, half undressed and without a coat, until one of the Officers kiudly gave rne his pea-coat. Be fore we reached the deck, four of the guns had been thrown overboard, and the two bower anchors cut away. Never shall I forget the scene that preseatjd- itself when 1 reaclwa me oecK. l lie rerry was nua ding before the hurricane iu sail, except storm stay sail, with the sea mora than mountaiu-high encircling her, and the wiud blowing as no one on board had ev er seen It blow before, beat, every time she lurched, came in ou her decks, Snd it was with no tittle diffi culty you could hold sufficiently fast to a rope to keep from washing overboaroV Not a man on board ex pected our good Ship to live an hour. God be thank ed, she did gallantly ride the waves ! which, if the wind had been meeting her, would have stove her to atom. When we saw how successfully she went be fore the wind, we conceived some hopes of its abating, and that we might live it out. It did not but on the contrary, increased in violence, and suddenly veered to N. .N. E, driving us before it, at the rale of 15 miles an hour, directly on the coast of Cuba. Every one who knew the danger of that courte, was now perfectly certain, if the wind continued from that quarter, we should be dashed to atoms in probably less than an hour. Not a word was spoken, except by the Quarter-master, who was steering. The mo ments were inconceivably awful when, suudenly, the wind hauled, and turned our head N. E. This was some relief, and we breathed more freely ; for it was more than probable we were within five miles of the coast of Cuba ; and, iron-bound as it is, we should have been dashed to fragments at the first strike, aud not a soul on board saved to tell the story. This seemed a providential deliverance, and though the wind increased, there was yet hope, iu the event it moderated. We knew not where we were, but conjectured that no land was immediately ahead, less than 125 miles, vim the Bahama Banks. . At sun-down, the horizon assumed a lurid aspect awfully portentous and, if possible, the sea became higher, and the wiud more violent. At dark, I went in the cabin, after having stood more than 7 hours on deck, oftentimes to my waist in water complete ly drenched by the waves washing over the bulwarks. Here I remaiued until she struck, at 2 o'clock Mon day morning. At 10 o'clock Sunday night, the tempest was at its greatest violence. Our little ship weathered it triumphantly. Nor was (here ever a sea boat belter. All agree that no vessel of our class, and few of more tonuage, could have weathered such a tempest. We knew that we were ruuniusr on shore and tried to avoid it by heaving our head to the wind ; but in this eitort she shipped a sea, and il we had not scudded again, must inevitably have gone down. Onward still we went. The 1st Lieutenant discovered white water, and tho' the sea was comparatively moderate, o that we could lie to, we yet knew that sooner or later, we must be driven on shore where, no one could tell. When she first struck, all of us rushed on deck. Again she struck, and so hard, 1 aotually thought she had divided. The masts were cut away and she kept going--striking heavily every time, till at last sh stopped, and we got out anchor. : A'ey Wert, Oct. 1G. We came down here yesterday eveuiug, wilh Com. Sloat and suite, in a wrecker. I have not time to eouliuu connectedly my hasty letter of yesterday, as I am going immediately back to the wreck. When we struck Monday morning, we were driven over the inner-reef, (iAreugA the only chunntlpn the coatt that mould have tawd as) into smooth water. There we now lie both masts cut away. Apparent ly, little damage waa done to our hull, and there is a probability of our being, able to get the Brig off. She doe not letk, and her bottom is sound. No man ha been lost or hurt ; which fact, all danger consi dered, it seems hardly irreverent to ascribe to a spe cial interposition of Providence. A Spanish Brig, with a crew of 21 souls, was wrecked in five hundred yards of us all lost, except one man whom ws picked np next day. Bat of all scene of desolation Key West presents the most ruinous. Not a house is left uninjured. Half of ihem are unroofed blown down or gone to sea. The light house is gone. Sand Key Light is gone, and wilh it, every vestige of the Islet. Many families have not .a shelter to cover their bead. The streets are piled up wilh house tops, etc., rendering tbem literally impassable. Ev ery vessel in the harbor is either sunk or driven a shore, and most melancholy of all, more than forty lives have been lost. A yet there have been more than 20 wrecks heard from, aud the loss of lif truly lamentable! But no vessel could have lived in that storm without foundering or ruuaiug ashore. I am writing new in tha Spaaish Consul store a larga ton butldmg 60 by 30, whiclt- was aa roofsd uvt tin being rolled aa like paper, and part blown away;.

' " It is sure to be an expensive, and likely, if not soon ended by an adjustment with Santa Anna, to be a long and lingering warfare. When the bills shall be foolfd, and the enormous price we pay for the ac quisition of Texas fully ascertained, it will be an un pleasant subject either to think of or discuss, for those who were so eager to snatch Texas into our confede racy before the events which were gradually and cer tainly maturing, would have caused her to fall into the lap of the Union. It ia the policy of Ihoee who look the responsibility of this affair, to see that matters, if pos sible, are made no worse, and thai the war be as short a one as a wise management can make il." If the " Post" talks with such freedom, it will be in danger of being cast off by the Government, for such liberty of the Press is uot tolerated by the Ca binet. ELEVEN DAYS LATER FROM MONTEREY. ARRIVAL OF THE GALVESTON.' The Steamship, Galveston, Capt. Wright, ar rived yesterday afternoon from Brazos Santiago, coming by way of Galveston. She hat relieved our citizen of the painful suspense which they have endured for many days. Our advices 'from Monterey come down to the 6th of October. The City is in the occupation of our troops. The following Order of Gen. Taylor announ cing his victory we copy from the American Flag of the 10th inst : . Orders No. 123. Head Quarters Army of Occupation, ) Camp near Monterey, Sept. 27, 1840. The Commanding General hag (he satisfaction to congratulate the Army under his command upon another signal triumph over ihe Mexican forces. Superior to us in numbers, Btrorifrly for- tified and with an immense preponderance of ar tillery, they have yet been driven from point to point until forced to sue for term of capitulation. Such terms have been granted as were considered due to the gallant defence of the town and to the liberal policy of our own Government. . The General beg to return his thanks to his commanders and to all his officers and men, both of the regular and volunteer forces, for the skill, the courage and the perseverance, with which they have overcome manifold difficulties, and fi nally achieved a victory shedding lustre upon the American arms. A great result has been obtained, but not with out the loss of many gallant and accomplished officers and brave munr.-The Army and the country will deeply sympathize with the families and friends of those who have thus scaled their devotion with their lives. By order of Maj Gen Taylor : (Signed) W. VV. ,S. Bliss, Asa't. Ad'jt. Gen. Official: Geo. A. M'Call, Ass't. Ad'jt. Gen. We are glad to hear that the report brought over by ihe-MaK-im of the death of Col. McClung, of the Mississippi volunteers, was totally unfuun ded. An officer who left Monterey on ihe 6th inst. says that he was improving aud it was thought he would recover. The great subject canvassed in the Army con tinued to be the terms granted to Gen. Ampudia. Officers and men were so assured that a few hours more fighting would have forced them to an unconditional surrender, that it vexed them to have their prey escape. One explanation attri butes to Gen. Taylor a generous forbearance to wards a gallant foe. Il is urged that Gen. Am pudia made the defence of Monterey contrary to the wishes and even orders of Santa Anna. Ha ving himself erected niany of the defences of Uie city, and taken it upon himself to protect il at alH hazards ; his responsibilities bore heavily upon him, and after the gallant defence made by his army, Gen. Taylor was induced to be lenient to wards him. But this ia the reasoning of others ; we do not discard or adopt it. Others say that Gen. Taylof yielded with reluctance to the opin ion of the three officers next in command, to whom the matter was referred in a council of war. This, too, is but speculation. Capt. Owen left Mr, Kendall, associate, at Camargo. We regret to say that certain diffi cullies had occurred at Camargo which it was grievously feared would lead to two private hos tile meetings in .'which two of our citizens were to take part. We regret to allude to such a sub ject, and do it only to meet the exaggerated ru mors in circulation in regara to the matter. It is stated thai.. Brig--' Can. MarshaiV-of Kentucky, had demanded satisfaction from Col. Balie Pey ton, of this city, and that a meeting would take place, probably on the 1 1th inst. Another diffi culty was to be arranged at about the tame time, and in a similar mode between CspL. Mucsen, of this city, and Capt Shivers, of Texas. Most sin cerely do we hope that an adjustment may have been effected without resort to arms, we must repeat our regret at being compelled to allude to the subject. We gladly turn to other themes. In the American f lag we find announced the death of Capt. Robert Mitchell, Assistant Quar termaster to the Indiana volunteers. He died at Matamoras on the 7th inst. A warm eulogium is paid to him in the Flag. Picayune, Oct. 21. The Bank of Cape Fear has established a Branch at Salom, N. C , in place of tho Agency heretofore existing there, and appointed F, H.

Brig Perry Lost of Revenue Cutter Morris Total Destruction of Key Went fyy Liei Lost Immense Destruction of Property. The Schooner Sarah Churchman, Capt. Bay more, from Philadelphia, via Key West, for Bra zos Santiago, at the N. E. Pass on Wednesday morning, the 21st, and landed Com. Sloat and son from ihe Pacific, and Lieut. Win. C. Pease, of the Revenue Service, bearer of despatches to Washington. They came up to town last eve ning on the tow boat Jefferson. To Lieut. Pease we are indebted for the details of a terrible gale in the Gulf, of a fury unexampled and from which, we must not expect to hear all the deplorable of fsets in many weeks. We will begin wilh the le at it wat felt at Ky Wctt cn l wgaie commenced blowing trom in. t,. trie tivorninir of Wm 11th met. By 1 o'clock it blew a CShgnct harricanav. The tide tone Mtpidly "i the storm, raged with incredible violence until near, mklnfghjL, when it abated. On the 12th il blew 'moderate gale and gradually subsided Every, dwelling house, save five or six, at Key West-was destroyed or unroofed. The Custom House was blown down, the Marine Hospital un roofed, and it is supposed Government property destroyed to the amount of 9300,000. Fifty wharves disappeared, and the Salt WorkfSare de stroyed1. The U. S. Barracks were injured, but suffered less than any oilier buildingd- Many families were turned out houseless, but the U. S, Quartermaster came promptly to their assistance, The loss of life is treat. Many were drown ed and many killed by falling buildings. Key West light-house and dwelling attached are en tirely gone. The spot where thfey stood is cov ered by a white sand. beach. Fourteen souls per. tilted in these buildings. ' Sand Key light-house is gone totally disap peared wilh the buildings connected wilh it. The occupants too have perisliml. The Light ship in the N. W. passage dragged her moorings and went lo sea, but she was recov ered and returned to her position. The agent of the underwriters was doing every thing in his power to save property. Very great danger is to be apprehended from the Iosb of the lighl hou ses to vessels from Europe and ihe North, bound lo tho Gulf. The U. S. brig Perry was in the same gale or tornado, driven with resistlesa violence before the wind, but was finally run ashore after all hope of saving her was gone, and in all probability will be saved. We are compelled to omit many particulars in regard to the gale from the pre-occupatien of our columns. Picayune, Oct. 23. At Wake Forest, in this County, on Wednesday eveningjast, by llev.

Dfrir Suddenly, in this City, on Saturday morning last, of ParulysiB, in Ihe 57th year of his ago, Mr. John WiMiON, of Norfolk, Vu. Mr. W. had, for severul years, regularly visited our Cily iu the Winter, for the purpose ol supplying our State, at various points, with Oysters, Fish, &c. A somewhat intimate ac quaintance wilh the deceased, justifies us in the as sertion, that though unobtrusive before the world, a kindlier heart than his never before throbbed iu hu man bosom. His proverbial charity, and inoffoiisive liess, made frieuds of all who knew him, as was most strikingly evidenced by the larga concourse of per sons thai attended his remaiiiH to their final resting place. The regard universally entertained for him in this community, affords another illustration of the truth of the declaration, that ' Honor and shame from no condition rise, Act well your pall there all tho honor lies !" At Chapel Hill, on the 30th inst., in the 79th year nf her a-e, Mrs. Helen Caldwell, relict of the late President Caldwell. Mrs. C. was a native of Scotland, and daughter of James Hogg, Esq., one of the earliest and most ac tive friends of our University. In early life, she was united ill marriage to William Hooper, Ksq of Hills borough, who left three children, one of whom only survives tho Kev. Prof. Hooper, of the College of South Carolina. In 1309 she became the wife of Dr. Caldwell. To a mind of the highest order, Mrs. C. united all Ijiose attainments which best become tho wife, the mother and the Christian. She was -equally distin guished for a sound judgment and a kind iieart. Her powers of conversation were truly enviable ; und such was the urbanity of her manners, the playful ness of her wit, and the uniform cheerfulness of her disposition, that her society was a source of enjoy ment to both old and young. Early trained iu the principles of the Christian faith, her piety was of that kind which, while it sweetens hie to its possessor, is an unfailing spring of pleasure to all wit hin its reach. She was no stranger lo affliction. Its bitter waters wore nol unfrequenlly strained into her cup. Du ring the latter years of her life, she was made lo en dure much bodily suffering. Hut such was the mar-tyr-like patience and sereuity with which she bore the trial, that oftentimes under anzuish that might well have wrung the stoutest nerves, she would uot only preserve the appearance of perfect ease, but largely contributed to the entertainment of Ihe ft.euds that surrounded her. Her end was as peaceful as her life had been consistent. In the conlidence of a certain faith, and in perfect charity with all Ihe world, she finished her course ou that spot where the great er part of her long and useful life had been spent ; and her remains sleep by the side of In in whose mem ory every friend of our University delights to honor.
