! The news Of the attack on Tabaseo has electrified
the city. The bombardment appears TO have been
pretty thorough, but il was just retbuton for the
enemy's faithlessness in violating the flag of truce.
The whole affair has added new aurels 10 our navy.
The federal-Mexicsn journals here furnish glow

the ranks Of the Mexican army al San Luis, !" and
of the great victory which they are 10 win over the
American forces on the first opportunity i'm

portunity,' but when Il comes upon them, their en-
ihusiasm will be mostly TO get out of the way, after
aiew blows. Their magnanimous, valiant, and
puissant generalissio Santa Anna, will not be able
10 help them much il our rough d-ready boys get
hold Of them.

A city paper has this remarkable paragraph

Mr.. Upjohn will find many more TO admire his
fidelity to his scruples than their good sense; it is
such rarity nova. days to find man sacrifice his
interests for conscience sake. .
There is a rumor in town to-day that certain
prominent federal politicians design establishing
federal journal here for the purpose Of getting rid OF
the Tribune and the Courier, and the feuds which

true-which doubt-nothing will come Of it, The
Courier cannot be shaken of in this way, still less

The Michigan State Journal has run up the fell

SEWARD, Of New York. For Vice President, JoHs
P. Hale, Of New Hampshire" Whatever chance
this ticket might have in the peninsular Stste-and
have no doubt it would run much better than
anything with Henry Clay's name on tit would
have an exceedingly slight prospect of success in
this State. This is said as the truth, not from any
personal hostility to Gov Seward, who is probably
much more of democrat than three. fourths Of his
party in the State. .a. ... -.a

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, the counter
part of our Express and Courier, at the other ex-
uemity of the State--rather more enlightened,
though-had an article the other day against the
Tribune and its isms surprisingly bitter. 'Swin-

a sample Of its derunciations.
