REVOLUTIONARY BLOOD AT VERA CRUz -
YoUNo ALLEN McLANE.-Among the many feats
of personal bravery, performed by our army in
Mexico, the following one of Midshipman Allen
McLane should immortalize its gallant author.
During the siege of Vera Cruz, he was attached
to Capt Aulck commander of one of the naval
batteries In the heat of the engagement, Capt.
Auick wished some brushwood, in front of him,
which obstructed the view of Mexican battery,
removed. 1t was on an uncovered spot, and
shot and shells were rained in perfect deluge
upon it, Still the removal of the obstruction was
of vital Importance, and he called for volunteers
to cut it away. In instant young Nc
Lane leaped over the embrasures, followed by
two seamen, and advanced boldly on the brush
wood. In few minutes their rapid and steady
strokes were heard, as they hewed away. amid
the bursting shells and falling balls, that threw
up the sand around them. AT length, clear and
open range was made to the battery, and Nc
Lane and his comrades leaped, unhurt, within
the embrasure. 1t was nobly, CALAMITY DONE
1t was sufficiently dangerous for man to show
his head above the works, without standing in
the open road, fair mark for the guns.
Young McLane is the son of the Hon. Louis
McLane, and grandson of Col. Allen McLane,
who served so bravely in our revolutionary war.
He has proved himself worthy Of the stock from
which he is descended.

The News from Mcxico-Its Character and
Importance.

importance
We yesterday received important intelligence
from three divisions of our army, serving in
Mexico.
The adviccs from Santa Fe are to February
10th. They contain details Of the horrible mas
sacre at Taos and subsequent battles.
The dates from FL Passo are to January 18th.
Major Clarke had arrived with the artillery
Colonel Doniphan was Fastening preparations to
advance on Chihuahua. He had heard of Gene
raj Woops leaving for Saltillo. Capt. Mitchell's
company had pushed Fl days advance on the
main line, which was expected TO move on the
9th ofFebruary. Capt. Donirhan was confident
Of taking Chihuahua He reported 5000 Next
cans there, but this was, doubtless, an exagge-
ration, as no Mexican supplies or reinforcements
could be expected nearer than from Durango.
We give this, because it confirms the inteli-
gence received by the way of the city of Mexico
and Tampco.
Colonel Price, with three hundred men
and four howitzers, had advanced to Puebla,
in New Mexico, where the Mexcans had forti-
fed two strong large houses and church On
the 3lst January, he attacked them. AT the
first charge Of the Dragons and infantry, seven
Americans were killed and several wounded
Capt. Burguin was fatally shot in the lungs as he
was CALAMITY leading the company to the attack.
The church and houses were stormed. The
Mexicans retired. and the dragons pursued,
killed $50 or 200, and complete victory
achieved. Total American loss, IL killed, and
30 wounded.
The steamship Alabama arrived at New Or
leans from Vera Cruz on the I'd. General Quit
man, with his division, had proceeded to the
capture Of Alvarado. Com. Perry, with the
Mississippi, two sloops Of war and the mu,quito
heet, wore TO operate with him. Gen. Twiggs'
command left on the 3lst ult for Puente Nacional.
Gen. Worth was acting Governor Of Vera Cruz
he wa. to follow on the 9Th inst for the same
destination.
The accounts from Gen. Taylor state that he
had returned TO Saltilo, after fruitless pursuit
Of Urea, though he wac at one time near him in
the vicinity Of Marin. Gen. Taylor was pushing
forward large supple. towards San Luis Potosi,
in advance of his own march.
This is the intelligence from the three points
Of our army in brief. The details, together
with some important news from the city OF
Mexico, and the detailed official account Of
Santa Anna Of the battle of Buena Vista, are to
be found on the outside Of this days Herald.
1t appears 10y the advices from the city Of Mex
Zoo that Santa Anna reached that city on the 2Ith.

Excess Of votes for Aldermen over Mayor.

Excess Of votes for Aldermen Mayor. ITO
According to this, only ITO votes were cast for
Brady, provided every national reform vote cast
tor the aldermen over and above those cast for
their mayor was given to the wing candidate.
This does not look much like the wings being
indebted to the national reformers for the cleo
ton of their mayor.
The comparative strength of the whig and
democratic parties, at the recent election, is
pretty clearly exhibited in the vote of Joseph r.
Taylor, the wing candidate for Aims House
Commissioner, and J. Sherman Brownell, the
democratic candidateffor Mayor. Mr.. Brady,
as we have shown above, was indebted to the ma
tive American party to o great extent, and to a
limited extent to the influence Of his name among
the Irish.
The national reform party was mighty small
concern in the matter; and the idaa of their sup
posing themselves strong enough to hold the
balance Of power between the two great parties,
is decidedly rich and ridiculous
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1847-04-18

co had agreed to let him have five millions Of dol
lars with which to drive the barbarians, meaning
the Americans, from Mexico. No intelligence had
reached the capital of the capitulation of Vera
Cruz and San Juan de Ul1a, and every effort was
making TO prosecute the war against the United
States. According to Santa Annals detailed Of
fetal despatch of the battle of Buena Vista, he
still adhered to the declaration previously made,
that negotiation would not be entered into until
every American soldier was Withdrawn from
Mexican territory.
1t may be that the surrender OF Vera Cruz and
Ul1a will change the mind of the Mexican.

The Philosophy OF the Election-State OF
Parties-The Posiion and Strength Of the
Rndlcnia.

There has been great deal said by some of
the ultra organs Of the wing party and one or two
ism-ite democratic papers, about thesstrength Of
the national reform party in this city, and the in
huence of that vote upon the late election The
organ Of the vote-yourself-a-farm party has as
serted that the election of Mr.. Brady was partly
produced by the votes Of that party, and that
these votes were obtained by the letter received,
purporting TO have been written by that gentle
man, upon the eve Of the contest.
We think we are prepared to show, and prove
by official documents, that the election of Mr..
Brady was brought about by other causes, and
that the vote Of the national reformers was
mere bagatellc. More than one-half Of the whig
majority was produced by combination in the
eleventh ward, between the wings and the ma
tive Americans, by virtue Of which the strength
of the native American party was given to Mr..
Brady, upon condition that the wings voted for
the native American Alderman.
The annexed tables exhibit the result Of this
compromise -

EXCESS Of votcs Tor Aldermen over Mayor I2IS
In the eleventh ward there were only fifteen
votes cast for Mr.. Drake, the native American
mayoralty candidate while there were 1893 for
the native American alderman, showing that
1884 native votes must have been given to one of
the other candidates for the mayoraty. 1t is
possible some Of the natives of that ward did not
vote for either of the other candidates, but there
is no doubt that most Of them voted for Brady.
