A correspondcul of the Harlford Journal sayp : It lias been unofficially anununocd ■ that Mr. Horaeo CJrojley has ceased to i control, or even to coriduct tlie New York Tribune, [t i Baíd tliü facts wil] be ofliciully announced in n few days. The causes that led to Ihis aetion aro only guossed at. I am of opinión that he has beeu crowdud out by ouíside influences. He originally owned the 011tire property of the Tribune, but in an ovil hour transformed it uto a joint stock company. lie retained, howevcr, the control of tho paper by contract, but whut doea a contract umoUut to whon one of the contraoting parties enters it for the solé purpose oí aooomplishing its ultímate vacation. The present controllers ot the Tribune are not known to the public Ttiey appear, howuver, to posses great spirit, employ an array of splendid talent, huvo an abundance ot' capital, und I pray iheni great suocess. They ar3 evidently determinej that tho Tribune Bhal] inerit public approbition. Mr. Horaeo Greeley, more tban a year and a half ago, aunounoed his iu tention of retiring from the press after the then pending cauvass for the Presideney was concluded. No doubt he honestly intended making good his promises ; but the life of' an editor has so many charms and delights rningled with its cares and vexatious, that he probably iound it next to suicide to carry bis designs into execution. An oíd horsc, Üiough well worn out in a bark mili, if let loóse and placed in a fiold of clover, will aftor a few rounde, return to bis shaft, and anxiously manifest a desire to return to bis toil and drudgery. It s so with an oíd editor when released from his harness. Thur low Weed, though rioh beyond any reasonable man's desire, and well stricken in years iuto the bargain, finds it impossi b'e to exist if deprived of the atmosphere of a printing offico. Oíd Major Noah, though he possessed great anxiety to be released frorn the toils oí an editor, could not die easily and quietly till he had a last look at a composing room, and an editor's t;ible. In the graphic language of Mrs. Sarah Garnp, " öitch is üfe 1" Gen. Santa Anna is now living at St. Thomas, W. 1. Ho is said to be in excellent health, at seventy years of nge walks erect, and manages his cork leg with skill. A New York paper says that many neem to be of the opinión, that nnless we go on haoging now that we have stopped sbootinar, the dign:ty of the c uctry will suffer.
