cg,,- R,rrIg- Capiiuiation Of .Momcrey-
Dso,h oC Col ". H. Watson- GatEG'hy ot The
Roi,imoyean, BY the news from Mexico IN
another part of to.Iay's paper, it will be seen
chat Monterey, after three days hard fighting,
has capitulted to the American Army, under
General Taylor. The rejoicing for this great
victory is aIoyed, however, by the mourn
cll intelligence of the death Of so many brave
officers aud men, among the former the gallant
Col. Watson, of the Baltimore Battalion A
priyate letter states that he fell fighting braVeIy
at the head of his men, in attempting to storm
4 masked battery Of artillery and muSketry'
which was pouring deluge OF grape and can
mister shot, at the distance of sixty yards.


The command of the battalion then devolved
upon the gallant Capt James L. Stewart, OF
our city. Capt, S. greatly distinguished HIM
self, and was, with Lieut.. Ovens, warmly COM
pInontcd by Gen. Taylor. Capt s. was at
tackled by FIVE Mexicnns, when he lost his
sword, but he learlessly knocked one down with
his fist. seized his musket, and dlscomhtted
three more, bayonetipg them. Lieut. Owens
led 80 men up to the very mouth Of twelve
pound battery, which he took without tho loss
of a single man. The loss of Capt. Stewards
company is 6 killed and l2 wounded The
Banimorcans all behaved with the greatest bra
very. and have done credil to the Monumental
City. IN Col Watson they, as well as Balu-
more, have lost a hlgh-mnded, generous and
brave man-a gallant soldier, who has found an
honored soldiers grave. We ale unable to
give tho names of the brave privates Of the bat
talon who we're killed or wounded, but hope
chat the loss has been small.


The announcement oil the death of Col. Wat
son has cast gloom over our entire city. The
victory of the American arms was great and
glorious, but coupled as it is with the loss OF SC
much of the best blood Of the ole "Mary land
line," the rejoicing of our citizens was some
what dampened. In the gallant Watson oul
state has suffered the loss of as brave heart a:
ever beat, and the Baltimore Bar Of which he
was one of the brightest ornaments, valuable
member His amable and distressed widow
has the coincidence Of the whole city.


"How sleep the brave, who sin to rest,


ny all their counuys wishes blest."
