ATTACK ON oUR IRAlN.--Our city was again thrown into some excitement on Monday morning last by the arrival of courier. stating that the train which left here on Friday night last, had been attacked or sunday nooa. The accounts are still of vague nature in regard to the manner, loss, &c, but all agree as to the attack. It appears tha when about l5 miles beyond Santa Fe, it was at- lacked at both ends and in the centre simultaneous iy. producing considerable alarm among the team steFs; but we learn the troops received the charge in the coolest manner and returned 1t with the grea- fest prompilude-seeing which the enemy soon disappeared towards Pnente Nacionale, where, t Is presumed, they will make another trial of their ef- feetive mode of warfare. We have heard the num- Der of our loss and wounded variously estimatsd-- some say, none--othefs, | 10 20; we therefore ab- staa from giving credit to either. and choose rather to wait patiently the result of the investigations of time. Some say that friend Dr. Harney has been wounded. and others say no. Our troops have entTenched themselves behind their wagons, and will wait for Teinforcements, which were despatch ed and accompanied by Brig. Gen. Cadwalader, on Monday evening. Gen. C. took with him force of nearly 500 men and several pieces of caanon-- mountain howiizers--and will be able 10 cut his way through tea times his force. therefore we may hope to hear of some finn if the enemy should at tempt stand pera Crsz Eagle. 6th iast

 A MEXICAN TRIeK.-An officer of Inc Palmetto regiment, in late letter from Vera Cruz relates an anecdote illustrative of the fraud and riekery of the Mexicans. He says:

 '.When we had entered Avarado. they wished 10 keep one room secret from us-one in which all the correspondence and public papers were found se- erected. In that room they had laid out pretended corpse on the table, and asserted the was dead Maj. B wanted the comfort of the quarters, and or derei the door to be forced n and though dark ex- amined the corpse. He ordered the sergeant 10 take it off and bury it-tliis order induced the dead man to break out and run with all his might, to the amusement of the spectators.
