NEW ENGLAND MoNopoLY.-Ihe copperhead papers of New York and some of the western Union journals are quite excited over the mo- nopoly which New Eng'a.d is supposed to en. joy in the Congressional Committees and oth- CT positions of honor Some New England journals have joined in ths tirade. and to all these the Albany Evening Journal replies very pertinently and conclusively as follows:
 The Craftsmanship of two of the most i'm portant Standing Committees in the Senate (Finance and the Navy) have just been taken from New England and given to the Vest The President ot the United States is a West l ern man 30 is the Vice President SO are two members of the Cabinet (Secretary of the Interior and Attorney General j SO is the United States 80 is the Provost Marshal Gen. eral 20 is the Lieutenant General; so are Gems. Sherman. Sheridan and Thomas. Of Diplomatic appointments. New England has I rather less than her share. Of COnsula,es Pennsylvania has nearly twice as many as all the Eastern States put together. In the dIs- tribution of the minor crumbs of power, the Western and the Middle States have had the lions portion.
 New England has her proper influence in the counc ls of the nation, but it is by no means a dominant one. Her moral power IS fully recognized, but it is not allowed to have undue control. Her statesmen are influential. bu, they have not controlled the policy of the Government. Ohio alone has had more to do with shaping the course oftae Administration during the past three years thao all of the Eastern States cOmbiIed. This, of course, The Aryus very well knows but it hates New England with venomous hatred, and omits no occasion, timely or untimely, to assail her.

E:cutsMant John w. Watson.

There IS hardiv q victory of the Union ar. mics, though ever so glorious, that is not te m pered with the sad intelligence that one and another of those most dear to us, have sanct fed the success with their gallant blood. Sc with the glad news which IS flashed over the wires Of Thomas glorious victory at Nash vile. comes the mournfal tidings that the vic tory was dearly won for us by the loss of a,
 least one gallant soldier, we'll known and greatly beloved among us, Lieutenant JOHN W
 WATSON. of the 5tb Iowa Cavalry. There were few nobler OF more heroic youth that enlisted three years ago to Rgdt the battles of their country than Lieut.. WATSON. There were none actuated by parer or more patriotic motives which led SD many to offer the hopes and affec tions of their friends, their own prospects in lle and their lives, themselves. if need be, in their country's cause. Du7ToN, PLUMB, WAD-- HAMS, Bu1KLEY, ADAMS, and how many more of our bravest and best, have fallen, and now WATSON is added to the melancholy list.
 Lieut.. w ArsoN enlisted from Belleview, Iowa, in November. 1861, as private in the 9th To- wa Cavalry. which regiment was for time quartered in barracks at St. Louis. Thence it became attached to the Army of the Tennes- see, and participated in all the battles, memo rabe now in history, in which that heroic army has borne part. In his regiment, Lieut.. Watson was always distinguished for his gall lant bravery, and rapidly rose from the ranks, until be had obtained his well-earnsd commis sion. A brief furlougb in August 1863, ena- bled him to pay flying visit to his friends at the east, and gave us the las. opportunity of hearing bis pleasant voice and merry laugh as he told the modest story of his experience in the field. This very week he was expect d here again, his term of service over, to join us in Merry Christ mas. Alas! his term of ser vice,is ended. indeed, but the laurel with which we would have crowned him is mingled now with cypress. With glad hopes we looked for his coming ere the month was out; with sad. deued hearts we read the paragraph that an- nounces his lamented death.
 He fell, with his face towards the foe, We are told. mortally wounded in the breast, while gallantly charging the enemy's batteries. Thursday, Dec. 18th. And that fall was a conservation of victory. dearly purchased for us. but gioriously triumphant through the valor of those whom onr country shall ever hold among it's Emmortals.
