Col. WATsoN.-The following account of
the recovery and burial of the remains of the
late Col. WILLIAM III. WATSON, of Baltimore,
is from letter to the Baltimore Sun.
CAMP NEAR MONTEREY, (MExIeo,) !
OCTOBER LIST 1916
The excitement occasioned by the three
days bloody struggle has, in some measure,
passed off, butihe mind Of the soldier recurs
now to the contemplation of bygone days, and
inquiries Tor the friend with whom so much
pleasure was enjoyed but few days before
The inquiry brings to it the sad and melan-
choiy fact that they are gone 10 their long
homes This at first acts like dream to the
mind, and we are at a loss how to believe il.
Has any one seen the interment2 No re.
spouse is made, but one rises in the midst of
the ruinous fort where we were assembled, in
full view OF the enemies ramparts, buckets on
his sword, and with an eye like an eagle
and the boldness of lion, asks who will 90 in
pursuit OF the body OF our gallant Col. VIM. H.
WATSON Three men offer their services,
THos. SIMPSON and WILLIAM $. HYDE and
the other stranger The young Lieut. pro-
ceeds with firm step, secures the remains Of
the brave and beloved WATSON under the hea-
Wy fire OF the enemy, conveys ii back 10 the
fort, and whist in the solemn act of burying the
Gcau tie Heslu vi one vi Tue brave iHtu was Ia
ken off by cannon ball The young Lieu
tenant stands mistaken, and commands the
interment of the soldier at the foot of Col
WATSON, whose remains lie deposited in the
lower Fort on the bank Of the St Johns Riv-
er, about half mile below the city Of Monte
rey, Mexico. Lieut. MARcELLus X. TAYLOR,
OF company 3, commanded by Captain PIPER,
Of Baltimore, is the young man, referred to,
ana he has now in his possession lock of hair
taken from the lamented WATSON, and viii if
spared convey ii TO his bereayed and SORROW
fuI wife and children May Heaven bless
them and him. ROB'T BRONAUGH

Two weeks from this
day.

Two weeks from this day, let every
man, in favor of rescuing the country from
Southern Democratic thraldom, all who
would sustain the great laboring community
of the North against the ruinous progress OF
Free Trade. aud all who would preserve the
independence of the country from the colo
NAL bondage to which the present party be-
sottcd administration threaten TO reduce it,
RALLY AT THE POLLS ON THE
FIRST TUESDAY IN SEPTEMBER
WINGS, you know the immense Importance
of sustaining the great measures Of the Wing
party, and the utter destruction which the
further triumph of Locofocoism must bring
upon the prosperity Of The county and even
liberty itself. We know well what labors,
disappoihtments and sacrifices you have al
ready made for your country. But don't
finch at this awful crisis. There is, in fact,
no occasion TO despair. The enemy has at
last fairly unmasked his ruthless projects.
The list Of your grievances may be found IN
the passage of the laws by the last Congress,
so abominable as to carry dismay even to the
hearts of tho untreifedDemocracy ITSELF The
cry of VENGEANCE comes loud and long
from the whole democratic line OF PenDsyl-
vana. against those who, as says rather IT.
reverently one of their journals-'PreGch up
political salration on paper and cork out
our fearful damaation..in deeds" Come on,
then! We indomitable Wings of Vermont! !
Now is the time to put your shoulders to the
v heel. Be at the Polls yourselves and be
iilisent to get in your neighbors. Let The
Town Committees, list of whom we pub
Iish this day, especially be on the alert.
Rnf beware of The snares which your oppO-
neuts, and especially the Third party, are
setIiog TO make dissentions in your, ranks,
by pretending to an uncommon interest for
the Slave. They feel no more Than you do,
and they have done more TO strengthen slave
ny than ages Of repentance would enable
them TO atone for.

H.oco-FOco Protection.

Is there any man in Vermont so mutton
headed as MOTTO see that no sort of benefit is
to be derived from any amount Of protection
on wool unless the manufacturer of wool is
protected Iat the same rates. 1t is he who
must purchase the wool unless the wool
grower is contented with the price Of expor-
tailon to England, there TO be reduced 10
twenty cents a pound by the competition of
the world. The Tariff of 1912 provided an
average Of duties on wooden goods of 40 per-
cent. By the present Tariff large class Of
wooden fabrics are admitted at from 20 to %
per cent Thus all The Tremendous advanta-
ges so loudly claimed by the 'ocofoco presses
to be expected from an addition of one cent
and seven mills to operate in keeping out
coarse wool are neutralized, yea ten times
over by the influx Of foreign goods to take
the place of those manufactured at home out
Of The domestic fleece. And yet the LEGO
foco declaimers are constantly exploding in
Iaudations Of the present tariff as affording
OCltCI DiOtCCtOu " "Ooi Sto"Si
that Of of 1912.
Other instances OF Loco -foco protection
we sub'oin from the from the Tribune.
To show how this bill. while it respects
the strong deliberately brushes the weak, we
will give few instances within our own
knowledge: Needles have been admitted free
or at low duty until the Tariff of 1912, by
which Tariff duty of 80 per cent was i'm
posed on them. Several attempts had been
previously made to establish the manufacture
of Needles in this Country, but all failed, en-
failing heavy loss on those who had made the
experiment. Under this Tariff the attempt
has been renewed, and successfully. The
manufacture is now going on prosperously,
on large aud increasing scale. Our people
are supplied with needles as cheap as ever
before. Our producers only asked that the
duty be left where it was. But McKay's
Committee insisted, against the most earn
est representations, on putting it down TO 20
per cent. though Iron and Coal we're readily
conceded 30.

Tariff on Wool.

1t is hardly possible for us to publish all Of
Mr.. Collamers excellent speech on ihe Tariff.
But we extract the following TO expose the
constantly repeated and disgusting misrepre-
sentaions of The loco Press in Vermont oil
the Tariff Of $40 on wool.
On wool the present duty, or such wool
as is produced by our wool growers, IS ~ per
cent, and specific duty Of three cents per
pound; but coarse wool, costing abroad
not over seven cents per pound has on IT no
specific duty by the pound, but only an ad
valorem duty Of five per cent. Now II is
much insisted that, by fraud, much fine wool
is introduced under this ad valorem duty Of
five per cent. Let the present law be fairly
construed and fully executed. and the COM
plant would cease; and although they make
this complaint Of the present tariff, yet no
measure is proposed to correct it by specific
duty on the pound but, on the contrary, it
is by this bill proposed actually take
off the three cent. pound specific duty, while
we now have 10 put all wool at an sd valorem
duty Of thirty per cent, aud so to subject for

LAPRAiRiE NEARLY L REDUCED TO ASHES
AT about 20 minutes TO o'clock last night, n
fire was seen to break out in the direction oil
Laprairie, which continued 10 burn with una
bated fury The greater part oil the night.
From our messenger not being able 10 pro-
cure boat 10 cross the river, We can only
give but very scan,y intelligence. As soon
as The alarm had spread that Laprairie was
on fire, the engine companies liastened down
10 The wharf and waited there till about 10
O'clock in the expectation ofthe arrival Of
the Prince Albert. At the time we write
the Church had not taken fire. but there
seemed TO be no doubt that il would be con-
sumed.
The wind was blowing very strong from
the S. w. and no donbt added TO the fury Of
The flames. According 10 appearances the
fire must have originated near the Railroad
Station on the river edge, and swept from
that across to nearly opposite the Catholic
Church.
We will have full particular concerning
the fire by the mornings boat, which we will
hasten 10 lay before our readers the moment
we receive i.
The steamer Lord Stanley left ihewharl
n! half part 10 o'clock .or Lorgueal, with
several Fire Companies and their engines
from thence to proceed 10 Lapairie by land.

of 1912. We do not wish them repeated.
