To the Editor Of The Tribune:
Letters have been received here from gentlemen
of clear heads and souu Judgment in different
parts OF the Empire Stas, which agree IN saying
that IoHN YoUSG will certainly be elected Cover
nor. and that the Whig viii make handsome
gain in the great Congressional Delegation of that
State, if they do not cleo MAJORITY of It's Mem

This news brings Joy Il the hearts of tina Wings
of the National Metropolis, while 1t makes the
Loco F ocos who hear Of i, quake in their shoes.
Letters have been received by Members of the
Cabinet from leading LosoFocos in all quarters of
your State. which positively assert that the dis
affections and divisions il the ranks Of the Demo-
cracy are fast healing ul, and ihat the Natives
and the Liberty men voting distinct tickets.
Gov WRIGHT reelection is safe. But the Mem
bers of the Cabinet havebut little faith in these IN
tcrcsfed declarations Tie result OF the elections in
PENNSYLVANIA. Ohio. and Florida. has nearly I'M
uervcd them and made item very slow to believe

quarter OF the land.
L., the wings have = triumph in New York and

that Mr.. JAMES X PoLS's Administration has not
only ruined the country, but the " Democratic
party
We are still without farther rews from our Army
in Mexico than that of the 25th ult. Every one is
impatient to see tho list of the killed. and wounded
at the siege OF Monterey. Our oss must have been
greater than 500 killed and wounded All are inn
patient 10 learn who have fallen and who
hurt.
From all accounts it is quite evident that the
charge ordered and persisted in " General BUTLER
against most destructive battery III the open
street of Monterey was very rash and mprudent
one. II is also evident that General TAYLOR disap
proved oil it and rode forward under murderous
ire and countermanded General Buffers order.
1t is moreover quite probable that the foremost Of
BUFFERS advancing column WAS repulseG and beat
back by the fire from the Mexican battery. But
that WILLIAM o. Butler displayed the least par
tice OF cowardce, or that General TAYLOR charged
such an offence against him, is not for instant
to be believed. There can Je no truth IN il. Gen
era Butler IS an impetuous possibly rash man,
without the brilliant science AID forecast OF w ORTIZ,
or the Jar scanning eye. and great prudence and
selfpossession OF old "Roush and Ready, per

will lind a resting place in his character.
II is quite probable that news from the army or

The whole OF the $4,000 troops which Congress
authorized the President to call out will not be

sents 10 the world a few weeks since the Nav
Agent here made requisition on the Treasury for
SCI 900 to meet his current expenses. Instead Of
giving him the means of drawing the money from
the house of Coreoran & Riggs OF this city. which
had over 100000 of the Government funds in IT'S
possession at the time, the Navy Agent was furnish
ed with drafts on Banks or a tank in New York
For that city he started, taking along with him
person TO help count and keep secure the specie
until II could be brought on to Washington. On
his arrival in your city he concluded il would be
