From the Baltimore Patriot. THE FALL OF WATSON, Of Baltimore, who fell gallantly leading the charge at Vie ttorming of Monterey. He has gone to the grave in ilie hey-day of life ; Pressing on to the loeman before him, He fell in the midst ot the glorious strife, With the stars and the stripes floating o'er him. He fouxhl as a hero forever should fight, In front for ihe garland ol glory; And Fame, as he fell, with a pencil of light, Wrote his deeds on the pagea of story. The Baltimore band that so bravely he led In the charge on the Mexican column, The tear of regret and of vengeance have shed, Aa they mareb'd to the requiem solemn. And his death was avenged by the triumph I trust If not, 'twere a shame, 'twere pity For many a fueman baa bitten the dust In Monterey's desolate city. So perish Columbia's invelerate foes, Who vainly against her have striven; May triumph still bless her bright banner, that flows Where victory lately was given ! Oh! Baltimore, twice hast thou wept for thy brave, Thy sons, who so gallantly perish'd; But thu' Ringgold and Watson now sleep in the grave Long, long shall their mcm'ry be cherish'd. Let their fall be avenged let the war-cry be heard In the halls of Mexico screaming, Till victory's shouts on her walls shall be heard, And the star-spangled banner be streaming. Brave Watson, thy name be a watchword by those With whom ihou so nobly hast battled, WTho witness'd thy fall when the death-shot of foes Like the hail of a stormy cloud rallied. In the homes ol fair Baltimore, beauty hath shed The tear of regret, that so early, So high and heroic a heart vbould have bled A head that was cherish'd so dearly. Oh ! yes, and full many a bosom hath sigh'd, Thai one with such virtues around him, By a barbarous Mexican's hand should have died In the moment that glory bad crown'd him. He has gone to the grave in the brilliance of lame, But he sleeps on the pillow of glory; Enshrined in the heart of the nation, his name Shall live on the pages of story. J. U. M. (ill!! OH l CURSE.

MORNING, JUNE 3, 1847. it in solitude and secrecy;' and hit pencil bas braught it before us in its sterq renoic. In olden time, whin UolTe and Whatley passed for wizzardj and mountain spirits npong the superstitious, the vicinity of the ippt we have been describing was occupied bra very small colony, which, either from discontent or enterprise, had retired into this remote part ol New Hampshire. Most of them were ordinary men, led to this indepen dent modo of lifo from an impatience ol res traint which as frequently accompanies tul gW obstinacy as generous pride. But there nms one master apitit among them ; who was capable ol a higher estiny than he ever ful fMtf kTle consciousness of this had stamp ed sbmething of proud humility on the face of Cornelius Campbell; something of a haughty spirit strongly curbed by circum stances he could not control, end at which he scorned to murmur. He ossumed no su periority ; but unconsciously he threw around him the spell of intellect, and his compan ions felt, they Incw not why, thnt he was 'among them, but not of them.' His stature was gigantic, and he had the bold, quick tread of one who had wandered frequently and ft'arlessly among the terrible hiding places of nature, (lis voice wns harsh, but his whole countenance possessed singular capa bilities for tenderness ol expression; and sometimes under the gentle influenco of do mestic excitement, his hard features would bo rapidly lighted up, seeming like the sunshine flying over the shaded fields in an April day. j His companion was one peculiarly cnlcu j latcd to excite and retain the deep and strong energies of manly love. She bud possessed extraordinary beauty and had in the full ma turity of an excellent judgment, relinquished several splendid alliances and inciricd her father's displeasure, for the suke of Corneli us Campbell. Had political circumstances proved favorable, his talents and ambition would unquestionably have worked out a path to emolument and fame; but he had been a zealous and active enemy of the Stu arts, and the restoration of Charles the Se cond was the death warrant of his hopes. Immediate flight became necessary and A merica was the chosen place ol refuge. His adherence to Cromwell's party was not occa sioned by religious sympathy, but by politi cal views too liberal and philosophical for the suite of the people; theiefore Cornelius Campbell was no favorite with our forefath ers, and being of a proud nature he withdrew v.ith his family to the solitary place we have mentioned. It seemed a bard fato for one who had from childhood been accustomed to indulgence and admiration, yet Mrs Campbell enjoyed her self more than she had done in her days of splendor ; so much deeper are the sources of happiness lo those of gaiety. Even her lace had suffered little from time and hardship. The bloom on her cheek, which in youth had been like the sweet pea-blossom, that most feminine of all flowets, had, it is true, somewhat faded ; but her rich, intellectual expression, did but receive additional mnjfS ty from years ; and the exercise of quiet do mestic love, which where it is suffered to ex ist, always deepens and brightens with time, had given bland and placid expression, which might well have atoned for the absence of more striking beauty. To such a woman as Caioline Campbell, ol what use would have been some modern doctrines of equality j and independence ? i With a mind sufficiently cultivated to ap preciate and enjoy her husband's intellectual energies, she had a heart that could not have ( found another home. The bird will drop! into its nest though the treasures of earth and , skvareoDen. To have Droved marriage a hrrinnii j i i y , I and the cares ofdomestic life a thral dom w would have affected Caroline Campbell as little, as to be told that the pure sweet at 1 mosphere sbe breathed, was pressing upon I her so many pounds to every square inch 1 i Over such a heart, and such a soul external; circumstances have little power; all worldlj interest was concentrated in her husband anU bnbfs, and her spirit was satisfied with that inexhaustible fountain of joy which nature gives and God has blessed. A very small settlement, in such n remote 1 n prophet among tlictn, and as such an object 'of peculiar respect. He had a mind which I J education and motive would hnve nerved with .i.i i i lo be lightly roused, and too implicable to sleep again, lo the small, black, fiery eye, expression lay coiled up like a beautiful snake. The white neopln knew thnt his ha- tred would be terrible ; but they had never i , . l l : 1 1 . I . provoked k, and even tho children became loo much accustomed to him to fear him. Chocorua had a son, about nine or ten yeart old, to whom Caroline Campbell had occasionally made such gaody prevents aa were likely to attract his savage fancy. This won the child's affections, so that he bcame a W A TIL. i NO. 34. familiar visitant, almost an inmate of their dwelling , and bring unrestrained by the courtesies of civilized life, he would inspect ! everything, and taste of everything which j came in his way. Some poison, prepared for i a mischievous fox, which had long troubled j the little settlement, was discoveredand drunk by the Indian boy ; and he went home to his j father to sicken and die. From that moment jealousy and hatted took possession of Cho corua s soul. He never told his suspicions he brooded over them in secret, to nourish the deadly revenge he contemplated against Cornelius Campbell. The story of Indian animosity is always the same. Cornelius Campbell left bis but for the fields early one bright balmy morning in June. Still a lover, though ten jtixt a husband, his last look was turned towards his wife, ar.swering her parting smile hit last action a kiss for each of his children When he returned to dinner, they wete dead all dead I and their disfigured bodies too cruelly showed that un Indians had done the work. In such a mind grief, like all other emo tions, was tempestuous. Home had been to him the only verdant spot in the wide descit of life. In his wife and children he had garnered up all bis heart; and now they were torn from him the remembranceof their lore clung to him like the death-grapple of a drowning man, sinking him, down, down, into darkness and death, This was followed by a calm a thousand times more terrible the creeping agony of despair, that brings with it no power of resistance. " It was as if the dead could feel The icy worm around him steal." Such, for many days, was the state of Cor nelius Campbell. Those who knew and reveled him, feared that the spark of reason was forever extinguished. But it rekindled again, and with it came a wild demoniac spirit of revenge. The death groan of Cho corua would make him smile in his dreams; and when he walked, death seemed too pitiful a vengeance for the anguish that it was eating into his very oul. Chocorua's brethren were absent on a hun ting expedition at the lime he committed the murder and those who watched bis move ments, observed that he frequently climbed the high precipice, which afterwards took his name, probably looking out for indica tions of their return. Here Corneliut Campbell resolved to effect his deadly purpose. A party was formed un der bis guidance, to cut off all chance of re treat, and the darkniinded prophet was to be hunted like a wild beast to his lair. The morning sun had scarce cleared away the fogs, when Chocorua started as a loud voice from beneath the precipice command ing him to throw himself into the deep abyss below. He knew the voice of hi enemy and replied with an Indian's calmness. "The Great Spirit gave life to Chocorua ; and Chocorua will not throw it away at the command of a white mao." "Then heir the white man's thunder I" exclaimed Cornelius Campbell, as he pointed his gun to the pre cipice. Chocorua, though fierce and fearless as a panther had never overcome his dreaJ of fire arms. He placed his hand upon his ears to shut out the stunning report; the next moment the blood bubbled from his neck, and he reeled fearfully on the edge of tbe precipice. But he recovered himself, and raising himself on his hand be spoke in a loud voice that grew more terrifies as its huskiness increased. "A curse upon ye white men! May the great Spirit curse ye when he speaks in the clouds and his words are fire! Chocorua had a son and ye kil led him while the sky looked bright Light ning blast your corps. Wind and fire destroy your dwellings 1 The Evil Spirit breathe upon your cuttle! Your gravis lie in the i war path of the Indian! Panthers howl,! and wolves ihtteii over your bones ! Choco rua gofs to the Great Spirit his curse stays with the white men " The prophet sunk upon the ground, still ut tering inaudible curses and they left his bones to whiten in the sun. But his curse rested. on the settlement. The tomahawk and the scalping knife wete busy among them, the winds tore up trees and hurled them at their i dwellings, tbeir crops were blasted, their cat. ( tie diid and sickness camo upon their Mrong- j est men. At lust the remnant ol them aepar led from the fatal spot lo mingle with more populous and prosperous colonies. Corneli us Campbell beca me a hermit, seldom Seek ing or seeing his fellow men ; and two years after ho was found dead in his hut. To this day the town of Burton in New Hampshire is remaikable for a pestilence which iufests its cattle and the auperslituou think that Chocorua's spiri'. still sits enthron ed upon his precipice breathing a curse upon thera.

At what time he expect U) reach that place he does not aey, but I fancy the intereveniog period will be measured by months. Two or thtee copies of tbe Gener al's proclamation to tbe Mexican people, reached this city yesterday, and I have to-day been fortunate enough to get tbe use of a copy, for one hour and a bait. I have translated M, but in such a hurry that 1 cannot vouch for tho failhfullncts of the translation. Tb Spanish copy is praised for it diction, and for the pure Castilian spirit of it) language which induces the opinion that it is not a translation but that some one has written it in tbe original for Gen. Scott. I think drt ferently. Its facts arc conceded and its sentiments admired in all quarters, at far at k has circu lated within my knowledge, and many be lieve it will produce a good effect ; but tbe Mexicans are so accustomed t grind procla mation, beautiful language, and to rxahed s ntiment that I am constrained to fear they will measure Gen.
