RUMoRs FROM WASHINGTON.


Washington CORES pondent of the NewIYoEk
Journal Of Commerce, writing from Washing
ton, Nov. 30, says that the correspondence
recently passed between Mr.. Buchanan and
Mexican agent, is authentic and is acknowl-
edged TO be. He also states that we shall
soon have the official account of the affair of
Santa Anna being passed by our squadron,
which ought TO have been given long ago
that we shall probably soon have peace
with Mexico-or if not an attack will be
made on the Castle at Vera Cruz, by naval
force under Commodore Stewart. He also
gives it as fact, that the administration aDill
not recommend revival and relaxation of
The sub-treasury, as had been supposed. Mr..
Walker was in favor of it but Mr.. Polk utterly
averse TO it.
The writer of this letter has good means
of knowing the truth of what he writes; but
how far he is correctn these statements and
opinions remain to be seen.

THE WIG GOVERNOR OF NEW

THE WING GOVERNOR OF NEW
YORK.-The Oswego Advertiser thus
speaks OF John Young, the new Wing Gov
ernor of the great Stale of New York:
Mr.. Young is a self educated man. He
commenced life from small beginnings
his labors as country school-master, he sup
piled himself with pecuniary means 10 enable
him 10 study the profession of the law, in
which he soon distinguished himself. His
ability, eloquence and success gained for
him commanding reputation in bis own
county and judicial district. Alter filling
several MINOR grades of office, he was in
1888 elected to represent his district, COM
posed of Livingston and Allegheny counties,
in Congress. Here he added largely 10 his
reputation as man of talent and debater.
After four years term of service, he de-
clined denomination 10 Congress, but con-
sented to serve his county in the State Leg
islature. His commanding talents and bis
wide spread reputation gave him at once the
post of leader in the assembly. He twice re-
ceived the Wing vote of that body Tor Spea-
ker. AS a champion of Liberal Wing prin-
ciples, no man in the Legislature ever dis
iinguished himself more than John Young
1t is more TO his able and sagacious leader
ship in the Legislature, than to any Other
cause, that we are indebted for our present
triumph.
