DEATH OF MR. JAMES GODDARD.
We letm with deep regret of the. death, on
the l€th itwt, at Greenfield, Massachusetts, of
Jiuif* GhpD ABD, Esq. of this city.
Idri Godoabc has been long known as one
of our nio«t enterprising and public spirited cit-
feens; and in all bis personal and business re
lations, was esteemed an honest and honorable
mai>. In all the enterprises connected either
triU> the interests or improaement of the city,
"he was ever prominent and liberal. In this res
pect. as tvdll as for hia personal worth, his with
drawal fjrotn the scene of bis laboia will be felt
a'wj deplored, not less by his friends, than by the
public generally. • ‘ .

Th» sketches of tbe principal characters
the correspondence between Mrs. Myers and
Hoyt. Barring Eugene Sue, this correspond
ence has no counterpart in anything that we
have seen lately. The letters are filled ad nau.
ream, with expressions of the most lasadaical.
and sickening love,—not to speak of a hint, or
two, which would lead one to suppose that tho
amiable spouse had a strong desire to imitate
the example of-Dcnmatk’s loyal Gertrude. All
in all, the whole affair was a most infamous
scrape, nud reflects anything but credit upon
Hoyt, and the unfortunate Lady, so deeply im,
plicated with him.
The trial before the Mayor for commitment,
came to a close.on Monday last. He having
ordered after tho conclusion of able arguments
on both sides the parties on to an examining
Court to be held on Wednesday last. Bail
was refused.
The rumor published in one ofthe Richmond
papers, that Mrs. Myers had put a period to
her existence by taking laudnum, turns out to
be unfounded.

ELEVEN DAYS LATER FROM MONTEREY.
The steamship Galveston, Capt. Wright, ar
rived yesterday from Brazos St. Jago, via Gal
veston. She left the former place on the 14th
—the latter on the 18th inst. We received no
letters by her, but have conversed with several g . “J "wVw. S. BLISS. As’t Adj’t Gen’

The Mexicans had maachetl out of tbe city of
Monterey, pursuant to the terms of the armis
tice, passing the Rinconada, (the prescribed
boundary,) and drawing up at San Luis Potosi;
and our Army was iu full possession of Monte

We have seen a letter from Gen.P. F. Smith,
(Col. Smith.) He says, speaking of the battle:

• His Honor the Mayor, says the Georgian
of Thursday last, transmitted by last evening’s
mail a check to the Mayor of Columbus for
fourteen hundred dollars, being the appropria

raised from the citizens by individual subscrip
tion. The latter sum we hope lo see increased.
POWERS THE 8CULFTOR.
A correspondent of the Albany Aiigus after
a visit to the studio Qf Powers at Florence,
speaks in terms of the highest eulogy of some
ofthe works of that Sculptor, whose genius is
earning for his country a distinguished reputa
tion, even amongst the classic statuary of the
old world.
The “Eve,” so highly spoken of in tho ex
tract which follows, lias been purchased by a
gentleman of Columbia, South Carolina.

Kearney, and that it was the General’s deter

command of Col. Doniphan, of Clay, and take
the remainder below, if possible, to meet Gen.

further is, that Gen.Parade3 was on his way

FIRE AT^ APALACHICOLA
Yesterday morning our city was nearly laid
in ruins through the villany of incendiaries.—
Three houses were fired simultaneously, and
at the fourth attempt the villain was shot at, and
narrowly escaped with his life.
About 2 o’clock, our citizens were aroused

“We have taken 32 pieces of brass cannon,; three buildings were discovered wrapped in

impregnable, indeed, it would seem.
There is a point in the programme not before
known, which is: that tho first flag of truce
proceeded from Gen. Worth. He asked a ces
sation of hostilities, so far as his command and
the division opposed to it were concerned, while
they would be hurrying their dead in 8 com
mon grave. This was refused. Ampudia some
time thereafter sent a flag to GeD. Worth, ask
ing a cessation of arms until he could convey
the women and children ofthe city out of the
town. To this General ,W° rl h would not lis

In spite ofthe vivid exultations with which

ELEVEN DAYS LATER FROM MONTEREY.
In addition to the extracts of the news from
Monterey, copied into another column this
morning" from the New Orleans Daily Delta of
tho 21st inst., we subjoin the following addition
al items for what they may be worth, from the
Correspondence ofthe Picayune,—all that we
can find room for to-day.
Monterey, Sept, 29,1846,)
5 o'clock, afternoon. )
An exDress .rider has this moment arrived front
Salinas, which place he left this morning. It
is only a day’s ride this side of Saltillo, and be
states, on the 'authority of a Mexican, that San
ta Anna arrived at that city yesterday morn,
ing or the evening previous, and at once com
menced fortifying the place with vigor. He
had no less than 13,000 with him, which, added
to those which he left here under Ampudia,
will swell his army to over 30,000 men. Re.
port farther has it, tftat he is to erect works and
butteries close by the Rinconada—tbe limits of
our lines by the sixty day’s truce. If nil this
should prove true, the army may havo bloodier
work to do than ever. One thing is certain—
Santa Anna was hourly expected here when
Gen. Taylor arrived, and many think that Am-
pudia’s reasons for wishing to retire was the
fact that he found himself to a degree surround
ed after the successes of the 2d division, and
was anxious to form a junction wiih his master
on the best terms he could make. We shall
know'more about this matter in a day or two.
Lieut. Dilworth, of foe 1st U. S. Infantry,
died this forenoon of his wounds. Cnpt. R. H.
Graham, who was badly shot, it is thought M
mending. -He belongs to the 4*li U. S. Infantry.
I shall write by the first opportunity, and if
1 can collect all the information I want, will
give you a full description of Gen. Worth’s di

The" XL S. Revenue catter Ewing, Captain
Moore, arrived off the S. W, Pass on the even
ing ofthe 16th intt..from the Gulf Squadron
off Vera Cruz. Lieut. Chadwick, of the cut
ter, reached the city on Sunday everting, and
favored the New Orleans Tropic with the fol
lowing items: .
The cutter left the Squadron on the 6fo mat.
and Lieut. Chadwick reports that Gen. Pare
des left Vera Cruz on the 2d inst. in a British
steamer for Havana, and was saluted by the
castle of Sau Juan de Uloa. Com. Conner
was still in command of the Squadron.but it was
generally' supposed that Com. Perry would as
sume the command on the 1st of November.—
No further attack had been made by any ves
sel ofthe fleet on any Mexican town; but the
opinion prevailed that another demonstration
would soon be made against Alvarado. A
Mexican schooner had boon captured by one of
our vessels,'and'-lhe seamen were busily en
gaged in fitting her ou£ to be employed against
the enemy irt’the contemplated attqck at the h-
bove qatfoxl poipt. IS T »ws of the battle of Mon
terey "had reacKeothe Squadron and imparted
the liveliest joy among tlie officers and,crew. ^
The U.S. steamer Mississippi^chooner Ree-
feer; and another schooner, loaded with coal,
were spoken near Vera Cruz. Fears bad been
entertained ofthewfety of these vessels, as they
were out of time some twenty days, or more,
having encountered severe weather, and were
blown offfor. many days. The U.S. schooner
Flirt sailed for Norfolk on the 3d inst. Tlie
health of the Squadron was generally good.
No intelligence of interest bad bsen received
from the city of Mexico since the spiling ofthe
U. S. sloop John A‘3am*.
The Ewing came to off foe Brazos on the 9fo
ist. but had tic communication with the shore,
i he steamship Sea came off with the mail for
'steamship Galveston, but in consequence of the
boisterous weather and heavy sea, she was un
able to deliver ir, ami compelled to return.
One,of thp Rauaers.tif Cupi. Walker’s com
pany who hud bet-u takeii at Matamoras by the
Mexicans, made his .escape, andfound his way
to the Squadron. He was brought to the Bra-
zOs on board the Ewing, and succeeded in
reaching the shore, eager to participate in ant-
fight that might come off. Lieut. Chadwick
brought up the mail from the Squadron.
(TEN. TAYLOR IN EUROPE.
The Paris correspondent of the Louisville
Journal pays the following merited compliment
to the hero of the Rio Grande.
“I heard often in England and Ireland and I
jstill hear in France, the highest compliments
paid to the despatches of Gen. Taylor. An of
ficer in the'British navy remarked to me, after
reading them, that they were models, and re
flected more credit upon him than even Ins vic
tories.”

ACQUITTAL OF CATTAIN McMAHQN.
We are exceedingly gratified to learn that a
letter was received i in this city’ on yesterday,
which stiffed that Capt. McMahon, of the Irish
Jasper Greens, had been honorably acquitted
of all charges preferred agaiust him connected
withtberiotinthe Georgia Regiment on the
31st Augqst. We were under the impression,
from the°very first, that the statements in rer
card to thrs : whole affair, was greatly exagger
ated, aud that if Capt. McMahon did any thing
wfong, it was attributable to the misconduct of-
others, rather than to any'improper feelings or
motives on his own part. We are now most
happy to have these impressions more than con-
firmM’by the deeisiou ofa court-martial, before
which all the faett* were fuliy developed. Vv e
are happy for the credit of the city, for the sake
of Capt. McMahon’s family, and for his own
sake, that this temporary cloud has passed av.-ay
andthat he may yet have an opportunity to
win laurels in tbe service of his country.
From the same source from which we have
the above, we also learn that seyeral of the Jas
per Greens have been allowed leave of absence;
anion" them are Messrs. Thos. Burke, Charles
FaielV, „.,d David Dynch, all on account of
sickness, or causes of a similar nature.
Savannah Republican, 21 stinst.
jected. aud then, at the suggestion of some of
his officers, General Taylor sent' a commission
to, the Mexioan* General, composed of Gen.
Worth, Gen. Henderson of Texas, and. Col.
Davis, of Mississippi, to arrange the terms of
an armistice, and they fixed on the terms final-
lyagreed to. Notwithstanding this, ive learn
that.strong dissatisfaction is expressed towards
Gen. Taylor, more particularly among the Vol
unteer wing of tlie army, for having..assented
tothe armistice. -The Mexicans, they believed,
q-quld not have held out many hours fongef, and
they (the Americans) had plenty of ammunition,
at least for the small arms; and all the Mexican
cannon ofa heavy calibre were left in Monte
rey. But the Mexicans, it seems, were still
more dissatisfied with their General,—for, two
days after the capitulation, they elected Geii.'
Mejia to the Command, in place of Ampudia.
They felt disappointed in the numerical force of
the Americpns.f they thought it vastly stronger
than, in taking possession of the city, they found
it to be ; and here it may be proper to remark,
that, at the'time of the capitulation, the enemy
held possession of the. Cathedral as well as the
Citadel. •
. The number of Mexicans killed end wound
ed has not been ascertained- It is believed to
b'e £000. The number ofthe Americans killed’
and wounded is set down at 560, of whom 260
are believed to hav^ been killed:
Lieut. Col. McClung, who was erroneously
reported dead, is living, and strong hopes are
entertained of his recovery.

stance, a Texan sutler, and iri another, taken
some foirty pack mules, carrying on stores from
Camargo to Monterey. The Texan volunteers,
Hqngcrs and all, ate to bo d’seharged. Two
of our fellow citizens had affairs of honpf on
hand, which were to.have.beeu settled by the
lust resort, on the 7th inst. Balie Peyton had
struck Brig. >Gen. Marshall; of Kentucky, for
which he had challenged him ; and young Mr.
Mr. Musson, who Ivaa with foe army as Mr.
Peyton was—a volunteer aid—was struck by
Capt. Sherrer, of the Mississippi Volunteers,
whom lie challenged.' ‘
T-he wounded io .Monterey were doing well,
and there was little or no sickness there.
A correspondent, writing from Camargo to
the American Flag, says : >
I actually believe a majority of the pe.ople
would be willing to dispute superiority with us
inch by inch. An excuse is at hand for every
new defeat, and in another engagement they
promise themselves a certain victory. • ”
Several volunteers were niutderetd in this vi
cinity within tho Ihst few days: A party i>4
men, not attached to the army, seven in num
ber, mostly all Germans, on their way to Cer-
ralvo from here, were attacked by the Mexi
cans, and four of their number killed; the oth
er three made thcirescape, and have got in here.
I suppose you have heard that a sutler’s party
were killed or made prisoners beyond Cerral-
vo, They are stated to have had a considera
ble amount of goods with them. 1 could not
ascertain what sutlers they were, though I hear
Dr. Alsbury’s natps mentioned at being amou"
them. , t ‘ -
I had almost forgot to mention to you that
steamers do not consider this the head of navi
gation, but are proceeding above here to Mier.
The? Major Brown left here for Mier, and even
at the present lowslrge of water,, it is said she
will reach there without difficulty.
