BRACES de Santiago, July 10, 1876
Gen. Taylor is still at NJ atamoros-hssa about l5,-
600 troops in all some Of which are stationed at
Point Isabel, Brazos ST. Iago Burriis and the lar
gest portion, probably two-thirds his whole force at
Matamoros; small number is at Reinoss, short
distance above Matamoros.
The General would have commenced his advance
upon Monterey at this time, had he not have been
stopped by an unforeseen occurrence the Rio del
Norte has risen and overlooked the country, so as
to arrest all movements for the present; the whole
country is inundated the wagon train cannot pass
between Point Isabel and Maiamoros. The walls,
or ramparts, rather, of Fort Brown, are now laTed
BY the waters ofthe Rio Grande, from whose banks,
but few days since, they were some three hundred
yards removed. Gen. Smiths camp is all aHoat,
aud the poor volunteers are well nigh up to their
ehins in mud and water 1t is with great difficulty
you can move about from one camp 10 another, on
either side Of the river.
Up 10 this time the health Of the whole Army
has been remarkably good and hope it may con-
tinue So
Nothing has been seen or heard of the move
ments OF the Mexieans since the taking Of Mata-
moros. The country has been perfectly tranquil,
and not soldier even has been taken by our scouts
Every thing is tranquil at present, and our army
perfectly quiescent, which il will be Obliged 10 re-

Bravo generally takes place in the fall of the year
but unfortunately for us-like the winter OF Russia

TIE PRoPosED COMPROMISE ON THE TARrFr.--
The correspondent ofthe New York Express writes
as follows under date Of Tuesday night;
] enclose you copy of the compromise to which
have made alusion in my last two letters. The
compromise, as ] understand, does not originate
with Mr. Webster, but with the representatives Of
the various manufacturing interests in the city
These are numerous, and embrace all branches Of
business and they have concocted bill which
they regard sufficiently protective for all the great
interests Of the country The bill has been sub
mitted to Mr. Calhoun, who promised | believe, to
give the bill hearty support, provided any dsiin-
guished man from the Wing side of the Chamber
would unite with him. 1t is supposed that Mr. Web
ser will unite, but this remains to be seen. Prac-
teal business men say the bill will afford sufficient
revenue.

That from and after the first day Of December next there
shall be reduction Of twenty-five per cent Of the duties

MR NLEss SPEEcH on THE TARrFF.-The
following brief sketch Of the speech Of Hon
John NJ. Niles, Of Connecticut, in the Senate on
Monday
Mr. Niles addressed the Senate at length in oppo-
sition to the BILL and defended himself for differing
from his brethren in the Senate, by quoting the
words of Edmund Burke-"l will support his Lord
ships interests against his Lordshp's opinions. -
He was for the interests Of his party against the
opinion Of his party Mr. Niles believed the bill
would pass, but he believed ii would pass against
the judgment Of majority of the Senate, and that
it had passed the other house against the judgment
of majority ofiis members. The principles ofthe
bill were bad, and its details were bad. II was
wrong altogether, aud calculated to innict a
lasting injury upon his constituents and destroy the
value of free labor.
Mr. Niles was for incidental protection. II might
be a Wing principle but he had always thought
that the northern Democracy we're in favor of it,
There was no discrimination in the bill, except
against protection. II was bill Of theories and abb
straclions, which he held in the utmost contempt
The act Of 1912 had not been complained Of at the
North 1t was good law. 1t yielded more reve.
nue. than any other had yielded. Ii was framed for
good and wise purposes, and deseryedly sub
ect of congratuation for those who had framed IT,
Mr. N. made an argument against the ad yalorem
principle, which he said the worst kind of slid
ing scale-cang upon the people to pay the high
est duties when they were least able and 10 pay the
lowest duty when they were best able TO pay the
highest. Mr. N then entered into several Of the
details ofthe bill 10 show thai it protected down.
ward, and gave what he called an Irish hoist He
said twas an Irish bill altogether. The government
seemed disposed to try an experiment both upon the
stomachs and the backs Of the people, and more es.
pecialIy upon poor men. Why should Congress, by
IFS legislation, attempt to arrest the onward and
prosperous movement Of the country and attempt
TO put barrier upon its growth, production and in.
terestsi Mr. N. called upon by his party here
to give up his principles and his interests. He was
asked to add bringing back 10 first principles
to make hewers Of wood and drawers OF water
to give up all our machinery and improvements and
prosperity TO Great Britain This was the great
measure of the age--but it was asking too much,
and he could not go il. Mr. N. said he foresaw the
shipwreck that awaited his party, should this meas
ure not be arrested. They would sink, and he
should go down with them-but he would have one
consolation when their leaders would not and that
was that he had raised his voice and warned them
Of their danger
Mr. Niles commanded the earnest attention of all
present during the delivery Of his speech.
