linen AGAIN with regard TO Mr.. Attree. The at
Temps made TO SANDER his character to depreciate
MS talents, and to underrate his intellect by such
persons as Mike Walsh and Parmelee, can accom-
push nothing We have tried Attree-he is one of
the aolest reporters in this country-and is particu
lary capablen giving exact verbatim reports Inths
repect there Is not one in Washington that can
equal, far less surpass, him. We have every conf.
dence, too, that his conduc, and demeanor at WASH

sheer envy Parmelee may malign such a man-but
1t requires species of subterranean'' ineraltude
akin to hell ITSELF for such man as Mike Walsh TO
SANDER one who never put a straw in his wayne
yer injured him-but, on the contrary, by reporting
two OF his speeches, and improving and correcting
them tar beyond their original merits when he re-
ported them, was the sole cause of gaining Walsh
the short-ived notoriety he has had IN the world
To Attree, Mike Walsh is indebted for the greatest
efforts and most dsinterested friendship-and to re-
turn that kindness by attacking his benefactor and
his benefacor's wife indicates that Mike Walsh has

lalny within the breast of any being in the shape of
man. 1t is melancholy to think of it,
AS for the Herald and its proprietor we have met |
and driven back too many greater assailants than
such miserable beggars as Mike Walsh and Parme |
lee; we consider their impotent attacks as the
bites OF half famshed mosquitoes on the first appear

law that is Ineligible. If Mr.. Graham goes up we
will guarantee that he will 80 far attend to his bust

CANApA.-Al political affairs have settled down
quietly for little while. This has been caused by
the dangerous illness of Sir Charles Bagot As, how.
ever, the health of the Governor General is now i'm
proving, with strong probability of his ultimate re.
covery, the political elements will again be set in
motion. But we presume that the Governor will
leave for England as soon as he is able, and new
perchance Lord Elliot, be sent out
to control the storm in turbulent Canada.
MExIco.-We have not much news from this re-
public Santa Anna was still at his country seat at
ar ,no i
the city of Mexico. 1t is expected that there will
be soon another revolution In that unhappy country.
The new tariff went into operation on the LIST ult.
Much of the produce of the United States formerly
excluded, will be admitted at a tremendous duty:
flour was then worth from $1sto $40 per brl, hams
30 to As cents per b. eggs 81 cents per Dozen pota.
toes 81 per bushel apples cents each, peaches and
pears about the same. The rumor that California
was open to emgrants, has been settled by the Mex
can Minister at Washington. No foreigner can
squat" there.
TExAs-There appears to be good deal of trou-
BILE in Texas among her own citizens The Presi-
dent is at oggerheads with the army, which has re-
suited IN the displacement of the commander-in-
Chief. The divisions In the army of the West had
ended in an open rupture. About 725 men had with
drawn from the army under Gen. Somervell-had
elected William g. Cooke, Colone-C. l. Howard,
Lieutenant Colone-and had taken up their line of
march, under the new organization for Mexico-l
Gen. Somervell was President Houston's man, and
the army Disguised with his delays left him. His
whole force before the division, according to the
accounts, could not have consisted of more than
1000 Colonel Cooke and Lieutenant Col Howard
were both attached 10 the Santa Fe expediton.-
The mutineeTs may do something in Mexico if they
push ahead. They will either whip or get whipped,
hat is sure.
