MAJOR t)0VNirsG THIRD LETTEft. Ve ! Ijfivp just received from Rockaway tlife following, 'peii-' turn.' from our friend 'the Major' addressed to Congress -'the representatives of the people.' We have, we confess, been led into the popular betirf that nothing short of weighty potccr something of metalic character at least, could (( i out of our present difficulty hut we find that we, in common with a large ami extended circle, arc m error and that when wc come to lifting we want a .. r of a directly opposite character. We further confess that wc never have seen the credit system s had oir'd firth more adroitly & more appropriately. Tim Major will see, when he comes to get the President's Message, that the President don't nrrec with him a to tovvdicncy of getting oil the 'Two Pollies" or nnv other Pollv tho' he
does indirectly hint at the use of something not unlike the Major's plan, in the way v( lifting, in the shape of Treasury notes. We expect now to hear from the Major on the matters introduced in the Message, and as the President very frankly ask free discussion, we shall no donht. soon U able to see through tho 'fo hank,' if we can't through other hanks. Xctc- York Kjprcss. 'To the Representative of the People of the I'nited States of North Ametica, ia Congress at Washing-
Rockaway, September Lh, 1ST7. Near the wn-ck of the Two Pollies.
Honorable Gentlemen I have !oen waitin for this day to come ever since the Two IV. lies was run on shorn by Captiiu Jumper, so that 1 could lay the case l ight afore the hull people in one swing, for there is no way of geUin any matter well attended to, that belongs o the people, till their representatives all git together ft Washing! n in Congress. I look upon you jest as 1
avouui on a barrel ol ewer lined down to a piart, lor the hull barrel is in that quart, and jest so tho hull peo-

Two Pollies is as s. nnd now as ever she was, and onv wants ifin over tho sand bank behind her and once afloat will be as good ns ever the was. 'l'he 1 usiness now is how shall she be lifted oil"? On this point there is a good many opinions. Some say she oimht to wait and take the chances for high ttdes and low tiade, and go off with all the rest and tli.it i I Congress makes any appropriation it ought to be sifted round nui' -tg all the vessels now ashore but
this is pritty much like the condition I once tellM on a- j liout the waggons in the mud. Now my notion is, wo! bad best ti "an expeiimom" with one git her oil" if; we can aed then w ith her aid, try to get the rest ulf ; for hoie aint power in all crca'iou to lilt Yin all oil".
together. I have a great liking I must say for tin; "Two Pollies.' 1 know what she is built on for tho she lias changed Hag. she ain't changed owners, nnd
her keel ami knees and plank and lloor-ti tubers they : ore all the same and she. is wor'h savin for the good she has done nnd can do yet. And this is my plan j Ci tigress owns a considerable pile of empty hogsheads i , lay in round at the Navy Yard, at Brooklyn all I want ' is to have the ti-o id" a few on "em for a spell it wont j cost the country a dollar for them empty casks aint I worth itothiitg till a pinch of a war or some sich kind of j thing co5v.es and I promise to return them all afore) they are wanted for other woik. I Some on voil ma v say that empty casks sound too!
much like credit and you wont let Yin be used, unless they arc lill'd with stones or iron or gold or sand or silver or water, or something that sounds solid or metallic but nil I've got to say about it is that kind of work wont lift any thing otT shore give me the use of the empty casks to do ihe liftin and call it credit or what you will 111 promise to git the '-'Iwo Pollies afloat with Yin and then yon may fitlYni as you please but if you wantto push the ''Two Pollies"1 deeper in the sand von cando so bv rolling on top on her your
casks lill'd with heavy metal, of iron or gold or stones or silver, for in any liftin work one is about as bad as tot her, tin I the heaviest is the worst. I don't mean "to commit' myself and say that I go for empty casks liefore full ones for all kind of work that ain't my notion at all; but I say when a vessel is on shore and you want to lift her off, empty casks are better than full ones, and when you git her off, then turn to nnd (ill up your empty casks for ballast, and keep Yin so. lTyour honorable body, then, will jest pass a resolution nnd say, "that the owners of the "Two Pollies" fdiall have the use of a few empty casks mark'd 'United States,' on condition that the same be used to git said vessel off shore, and on condition too, that the said
"Two Pollies." will engage to drag off shore all the
other craft mrth bavin,) and return said empty tasks Uninjured" then 1 can only say you will pet along shore about as brisk a time as you ever see'd in youi1 born days. If any on you are afraid "to take the responsibility," you can turn tho hull scrape on't on to me. The time is come when you must do something, and the plan 1
propose is sound nnd won't cost nothin not half as innch at any rate as it will to pay your expenses in makin long speeches about it. Every thing is aground. The "Two Pollies" "The Treasury" and "the industry of the country" the hull scrape is in the mud jest where 1 expected we should he and so I tell'd you three years ago butl dont want to sav nothin mote about it. Some folks 1
know want me to sharpen my axe nnd slat round and
chop up folks but that aint my notion. 1 anvwilliti to say you all ment for tho best but you made a great mistake, and the best of folks make mistakes some times, and the only difference betwixt nood folks and
nail lolUs is that good lolks as soon as they see their mistake turn to and tnnd it whilst bad folks trv to
brow beat and threaten nnd bully and git out of it that
wav but tins won t ilo.
The upshot of tho matter is the Country is in trou
hie imlustri) which is its alnml .at a stand still no-
one but oilieo holders git any thing to live by and they
arc paiu out oi me earnings ol llie people every thing
lepends on the industry of the in'ove if you cheek or
obstruct m every thine must co to smash and in lit
tle time the people won't be able to pay von vour ex-
penscs in gum to i asnington to make laws lor Yin.
You will bring their noses to the grind stone and as I'm one on Yin my nose I spose will be ground too, but I hope you'll let me grind my axe also on the same stone, and if 1 ony can keep one as sharp as tothcr, 1 won't have the worst on't now 1 tell you. Your fellow citizen. J. DOWNING Major. Downlngville Militia, '2d, Brigade. For the liloomington Post. ABSENCE TO .. Hope Hope is but the sunny streak That glides tho evening sky The fainting gleams that briglhly break In glory ere they die; Ami absence like the shades that come OYr twilight's hour of clouds, Drops on the soul a gathering gloom Which all its joy enshrouds. And yet, at eve, 'tis sweet 1 ween, While night and silence spread, To inusi; on beauties w hich have !ceii; On glories which have lied; And oh, 'tis joy to think the w h'le, Tho' now his lieams lw gone, To-morrow's dawn will bid him smile, Perhaps, a brightcrsun. And thus it is, with those, that love, If absence disunite; Thro' all those scenes once more to move In fancy's dear delight And if in all the fairy round,' Where we are lingering still.
There lx; some mutual feeling found, Which lioth were fond to feel. Oh, on the oft repeated thought, The soul would ever dwell And spelbbound haunt the spot Where last its brightness fell: And pleasure oft may seem to steal From such a dreamy joy; Hut absence absence breaks the spell. By pains that pass not by. Yes in the very sound there's pain. And tells of hearts forlorn; Of joys that ne'er may come again Of sonows that return And still each agonizing prayer In absence seems unheard Absence it borders on dispair Hike pain from hop; deferred. Hut oh I feel it in my heart I feel it in my brain Nor will a tear of comfort start To cool the burning pain. Yet had but less of brightness burst From Hope's delusive brow. The kindling spark I might have nurst And nurst it even now. But no, that light is quenched in shade, And darkness fills the void; liven fancy scarcely lends her aid, To trace what I enjoyed. 'Twas like the rays of early dawn OYr April's snowy check It scarcely glowed ere it was gone, And all tho waste is bleak. Spcnerr Ind. September 27, I. 137. OCTAYIA.

Yet wouldst thou, fair one, deign to cast Due look upon the son of song, One tender look, although the last, Love's Heavenly vision would prolong. Dark and dispairing though my doom One smile from thee would hope restore, Then grant it love, and I assume To venture at thy shrine no more.
