"PRoTEcTIoN, AGAIS.-The locofoco prints and
leaders generally, are engaged in ingenious and
argumentaiive" attempts to show, in the face Of
FAors and ExFERIEScL, that a protective duty al
ways enhances the price Of the article on which it
is imposed. Either their shallow brains cannot
comprehend how a tariff may encourage the do
nestle manufacturer by affording him steady
market and also raise up domestic competition, (of
which hereafler) thus lowering prices, or else
they ioiJaiiy misrepTsssnf. One such fact as the
reduction in the price of cotton cloth from 30 cents
in 1916, when the tariff system commenced, TO 6
cents now, after its genial operations for twenty
eight years-is worth ten thousand wordy, vapid,
sophistical theories. Convince farmer by all the
logic in the world, that he pays for goods,
and sells his produce Tor less than he did in 1871
and yield the point.

ANcuoLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.

Mr. Henry Kellogg eldest Of Hon. Daniel kel-
locg. of Rockingham, in this County, was drowned IN
tho Connecticut at Westminster, the 18th inst Mr.
KELLOGG together with Mr. A. A. Fleming, were bathing
IN ,he river and attempted to swim from the main
shore 10 an island in the centre Of the river The DIS
lance proved to be greater than they anticipated and in
consequence of a strong south wind the waves we're
rolling with considerable violence so that II made
swimming slow and laborious. When within short
distance of the island Mr. kelloggs strength gave out
and he called upon Mr. Fleming, who was in advance oil
him to assist him he must be drowned MIR r. I'M
mediately went his aid, and attempted in the hst
Mace to reach the island with his friend but finding
that the current would take them below the island they
were forced to turn about and make for the main shore
The waves were dashng their heads, greatly m-
pene their progress and before they could reach the
shore Mr. Kelloggs strength completely failed, and Mr.
Fleming became so entirely exhausted that he could
render no further assistance and in danger OF losing
his own life and obliged to leave Kellogg to his
dreadful fate Mr. Kellogg acted with wonderful cool
ness and sepossession during the whole time, seemed
10 he aware that he could not reach the Shore and vol
UNFAIRLY assured his companion that he would not GRASP
him or hold on to him so as to endanger his safety, and
when the awful moment came that Fleming could help
him no longer he readily let him CO. and quietly, and
n
ing gave the alarm he reached the shore, and
an immediate effort made TO rescue him, but II wal
too late The fatal current had swept him out OF sight
The body was recovered until the evening Of the
2ls inst, although hundreds had been engaged in the
search II was found about mile below the place
where he went in, it having risen and hoated ashore
II was entombed the same night.
We have never known event Of this kind to Gauss
a deeper sensation community than has the dealt
of Mr. kellogg. His death seemed so untimely, ant
the circumstances of it aggraSating to his friends
and the prospects from which he cut of were 81
bright and hopeful that it requires more than ordina
trust in Providence to bow with resignation to th'
dreadful blow.
He was a young man of fine talents and promise, an
Of most estimabe character lie graduated yea

the time Of his death studying law with the Hon VIM
c. Bradley Few young can look forward to fu

NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURES.

RAIL RoGos.-The New Hampshire Legislature
adjourned on the 10Th inst, after very short ses-
sion. Numerous petitions were presented for the
incorporation of Rail Road Companies in different
parts Of the State. Two charters, at least, were
granted-one for a road from Concord TO the Con-
necticut, and another for road through Keene to
Bellows Falls--but they were granted under the
restrictions Of the Revised Statutes relative TO cor
poFations, which that private property Is holden
for the debts Of the company, and that the right oil
way can only be obtained by purchase. The friends
Of the roads, we believe, deem such charters Of lit
tie or no value. The stock could never be taken
up. There is TO be an adjourned session of the
Legislature 10 commence the 18th Of November
next, and the Keene Sentinel expresses some faint
hope that then favorable charters will be granted,
but places It's main reliance upon the next Spring
election The Sentinels faith in the distant future
reminds us that
"Man never is, but always to be blest.'
BAsKs-Tbe Legislature has granted charter
for two Banks-one to be located at keene, anoth-
err at Charlestown. Private property holden.
MILiriA.-We see that an unsuccessful effort
was made to abolish trainings and regimental mus
tiers, and the New Hampshire boys must continue
to bear this onerous and pernicious burden Of a mi
iitia system.

NEws FROM MExIco.-About an hour after the
session of Congress closed, a messenger arrived
from Mexico charged with dispatches upon the
subject q Texas. The contents of the dispatches
have not yet transPired, although there are many
rpmoFs eiioat in regard to them. 1t is supposed
that had The news been favorable to President Ty-
ler's views, he would have lost no lime in commu-
n'cating Il to the country. The Mexican journals
are filled with articles in relation to the subject and
all parties agree that should Texas be annexed, that
war against the United States would Immediately
be declared, and that the whole nation would res
pond to the appeal TO arms with great enthusiasm.
So much for peaceful annexation.
