LETTi: FR'U JACK DOWNING. We were thrown Into quite a flutter yesterday liy receiving It, our big froTi i he Of?l i he following from the Puh!iroM frirn.l Major Jack Dovrniig, hu ncrtrp tr lire rinen il to t fur ttk? purpose tf commnnicalinjr to the Pq. bUo. in ht I'Uirv y, ome iew of Velient P-y,k- Yeang Hickory, at he delight n call him- hich thai distinjul-h-ei rnrtroniry hd nH thought nece.?ary K ron.l ie to hit most confidential frienda before he oiet with the M'jor. Nat. fnttVigtrxer. On brant the S.'eamloat on Iong 111 and Sound, boun-l to Connecticut and dovn Liet, June 29, 1917. Mr CiLr & Stato: My Dear old Friend: I and Mr. noh-nan and the ret of u overtook the President last night tu York, where we found him pretty well tuckered out, hav ng got throtijh wjih all hit, birda-egging li that everlastin jrreat city, and ready lo puaU on thi morning donrn pint. I wa going to write a line to friend Ritchie, at he'a the Gorernntent IMiior, as soon a I eonld ketch up wih the President, and Jet Urn know how the old gentleman WHd the journey. But 1 hsppened to Took Into your paper, and 1 tee brother JnjetKtl,c.C Philadelphy, sends his lettera to you This puzzled me a little at fi't, because I knew he was on Ritchie' tide. Hut I looked a?ong, and I aee he l'ej your paper a "powerful Journal;" then the thought struck me that 1 tead somewhere that "there's powet behind the throne g reater than the throne Itself." Well, thinks f, that Ingersotl is cunning feller, but he ain't a going to fet ahead of me. If he writes to the

power nenina tne tntone, I will oo. So If Mr. Ritchie complains, and nays I ought to wrote to him, I wish yon would jut amooth it over to him, and tell him the reason of it, and tell him when the old itipgmwi iouifr tacK, and nit paper fet on Sehiad, I'll write to Am. As I had come right from Mexico the hottest cut, and brough a letter from Oineral Skott to the President, as soon as we g t to Vork I run rfeht to the tavern where we stopped to give him the letter The folks told me he was at the Astor House that gteat tavern made out of hewed stone. So I went up, and went in, and asked one of the witters if Kurnel Polk was up therel 4,Is it Jemmy Polk ye mane; Young Ilickry, the President?"' says he. "Sartain," says I. Yes, he's here; up stairs In his room' ays he. Says I, 'S!nw me his chamber as Quick as you can I must see htm." "You csn't aee him to night, for Young Hickory ia tired out, and can't see nobody at all, at all. Why was'nt ye on hand in the Govenor's room if ye wanted to see him? All the boys had a fine chance to see him when he was there." Says I, "that is nothing to the point: I was on my road from Washington then, and I'm going to see the President tonight iff have to go through the stone wall of this house for it." Thea come along Mr. Stutson: and says he ''Patrick what's the row here?" "Here's a feller getting wraty," says Patrick, "becauee I won't let him go up to the President's room." At that Mr. Stutson turned round to me, and as soon a he seen me, ketched hold of my hand, and says he, "Major Downing, f am very happy to see you. Pll show you right up to the President's room myself. I'm sorry you was'nt here before. We've had some very pleasant tea-parties since the President has been here." When I got into the President's chamber he was lying down on the bed to rest, and looking as tired as a rat that had been drawed through forty knot hols. But as toon as he saw me, he jumped up, looking rather wild, and saya he, "Major Downing, how are ye? I didn't think of seeing you back from Mexico so soon. How does things goon there now?" Saya I, ' Colonel, they don't go hardly at all. Scott and Taylor both are grow. Ing rather red and angry to think you should chuck em away in the middle of Mexico there, and then not send them help to fight their way out again. And it seems to me, Colonel, you do hold back In this business a little too much. If you don't send 'em help pretty soon, them guerrillas will eat our little armies all up. Why Tolonel, "says I, "If this war had tome on in the time of the old Gineral, my old friend Hickory, he would a had them Mexicans half whipped to death by this time. But here's a letter from Scott, to tell you what he thinks about the business. I come on post hase to bring it. He says he won't stir from Puebla till you send on more men to take place of all mem that are coming home." The President took the letter and read a few lines, and threw it down upon the table,and says he, "It's no use. This war is a concern of my own getting up. for my own ue, rind I shall manage it jest as I please." S.iys he, "Major Dawning, there is reason in all things. I don't want them Mexicans whipped too fast, especially when thm upstart Generals gel all the glory of it. When I found Taylor was weljin up too large, I meant to a stopped him at Monterey and draw uff a part of his glory on to Scott. But that Taylor U a headstrong chap, a dangerous man. He nverstept his duty and blundered on to that victory at Buena Vista that nt vr thing all in a blaze. I shan't overlook . , it in him very soon. If the selfish creature had only let Santa Anna given him a handsome licking there, we might had a peace in little while, for I had things all arranged with Santa Anna to wind the business right up in such a way that we might each of us have made a handsome plum out of it. But that unpardonable Taylor must cut and alash round with his handful of men, untutored volunteers, that I thought were as harmless as a flock of sheep, and contrive.by that awful blunder at Buena Vista, to pour all the fai io. to the fire. "Well, then.Scottbas'nt behaved mueh better. He's licked the Mexicans too fast by a great sight, and is awellin himself up in the eyes of the people shamefully. I thought if I could -ert Col. Benton on tere,he would a squezd tha glory out of bMh of'ern in a liule wh'V, and sealed fhem doivn to they wsold'nt a been danffrTM. rut that raahon J Senate wo,!d'iU ;rt rrt doit. Tnat tra io baJ, Major,

wL-eaj them two Generals were attracting aH the glory thst belonged to me, that the Senate wouldn't Ut me do any thingto effect them. But I'll lei them know that young Hickory is'nt to be beat any more than old Hickory was. I've sent Mr. TriM on to look after matters, and to Fee that the armies don't go too fast; for I'm determined Scott and Taylor shan't whip the Mexican any faster than is prudent. All the glory that' lo come out of the war fairly belongs to 'mc. and I'll have it." But," says , "Colonei,Jyouare going to trtid on more men, ain't you? Or what nre you going to do? How are you going to wind up the business?" Say he, I'm too tired to talk over my p?ana to night. But there's no need of you're going right back to Mexico yet. Mr. Trist is there, and I can trust him to look after matters, and you better jump into the boat with us in the morning and take a trip down Eat, and we can talk the subject over at our leisure." I was up and dressed about the quickest, and went out and in fact, there was a quarter of a mile of soldiers, all ready to escort us to the boat. And down we went thro' whole streets full of men and women.

and boy and gals, of all sorts and size, some running and crowding, ant some hollering and hurraing, and in a few minutes were aboard the steamboat, and the bell rung and the steamer puffed, and off we went on the Sound tuwat ds Connecticut. 1 vs. - . tne iresident bad a little room all to himself, and he made me go tight into it wth Km, and he sot down in an easy chair, and put his foot upon another, and says he, "Major. I'm glad to get out of the crowd ftgain;we'll take a few hours of rest and comfort on this voyage. This being President, Major, is mighty hard work; but after all, I like it. I've had a glorious time of it in New York. Every body was running after me, and it seems as though I had seen everything. I feel as tho' 1 had lived through a whole year in these three days, and I don't believe any body ever received more honors in so short a space of time in this country." "Well," says I, "Colonel, it seems to me a pity you told the folks at Baltimore the other day that you should retire w hen this term was up. on might go two term, as old Hickory did, jest as well at not, you are so popular." At that he give me a tuck in the rits and a sly wjnk, and says he, "Major, don't yon understand that? Telling of 'em I shonld'nt stand another term is jest the right way to make'em the more fierce to have me. Don't you know Anthony said Ctesar refused the crown three times; jest so as to be more sure of having it placed on his head? And just see how Santa Anna i working it now in Mexico. When he gets pretty near run down, and shivering in the wind and nothing to stand upon, he sends in his resignation, with a long patriotic speech about shedding the last drop of his precious blood for his country, and all that, and the people refuse to receive his resignation, and cry out 'long live Santa Anna!' and away he goea anC drums up another army of soldiers. "But to tell the truth; Major." saya he, ""hen I mate that rsmark at Baltimore I had tome little notion of retiring. Our rarty was so cut up, things looked rather dark ahead, and I find this Mexican war something of a bother after all. Taylor and Scott commit so many blunders, I had teally then some notion of retiring w hen this term is up. But, since I got along to New York, things seemed to look brighter. I'm popular, Major I know I am. I should'nt be surprised if the Whigs made a demonstration in my favor yt. They seemed very fond of me in New York; and so did every body, every body you could mention;ven the market women took me by the hand and called me young Hickory, and give me lots of fruit. There, do you see that pineapple on the table?" says he. "That was given to me at the Fulton market, as we were going over to Brooklyn on Saturday. Cut away, Major, and help yourself to it; it' a nic e one. And here's a paper of most excellent tobacco " says he, "that was pre sented to me at the same time. You co into the pineapple, and I'll go into the tobacco, and then we'll have a little more talk about the war." Jest as we got cleverly under way they sung aboard the boat for the passengers to get ready for landing. So I must cut my yarn off here for the present; but likely at not you'll hear from me again. Your old friend, MAJOR JACK DOWNING. DISTURBANCE AT ANNAPOLIS. The Baltimore American of the 7ih brings us a detailed account of a disturbance trhich occurred at Annapolis on the 5ih, resulting in several persona beinz shot. some of them dangerously. The stea mer Jewes, Capt. Shutter, had started for St. Michaels, on a Fourth of July expeunion, wun aooui uu passengers, some of them companies. Finding when out that this was a greater number than the dated proceed to cross the Bay with, the j ut in lo Annapolis, proposing that 150 should land. As no one would agree to uo so ana taKe men chances of getting pack to Baltimore, he let off steam and put out the fires. This induced a large number of the men to go ashore, when some trifling occurrences brought on an attack from citizens of Annapolis tipon the boat and passengers, with brickbats and other missiles. A negro was seen to throw a brickbat, which hit and injured a lady standing on the hurricane deck, this induced a gentleman near to seize a gun from a member of one of the military companies with whicft he shot the negro in the leg. The attack from shore now became general, notwithstanding the interference ofthe police ladies and children were in the utmost distress tome of the former being so much alarmed that they would have jumped overboard, had they not been prevented by some gentlemen who opportunely arrived among them. The ladies and children were- finally all safely stowed away in the cabins, and the men rushed to the part ofthe boat nearest the wharf, and commenced return ing the volley of bricks and oaee of those on the w harf, uaing bottles of porter, empty pop houlee. decanters. Jutahjera , &c. ut;I ev?rjr thiij available nt ex-hsustfd.

Thi rfst of the afeocr.t t giver by

the American as follow. On Gax. As soon as the battle commenced, Capt. McAl lifter orderrd hit men to put their rifles out of the way, but some of these were seized by ( ersons ho had been attacked, and hall were dchargeTl at the assailants. Some of the balls thus fired took iflVcl on the rioters, whilst others w ere pretty tevetely hurt by being atiuck by poiter bottles and other missies. Wiih the exception of several slightly wounded by bricks, not one on board was injured. During the fight, Capt. McAllister, on going from the upper to the lower deck, saw a man whom he could not afterwards recognize, with a tifle belonging to asoldier, aimed at Mayor Swan,who was on the wharf doing all in his rower to quell ihe riot. Capt. McA. instantly kicked the gun out i-f his htnd,.nd thus, perhaps, saved the life or a valuable citizen. In the meantime the boat was got afloat, and backed out inio the stream, and every one hoped ;he affair w as ended, but when oppose the wharf at the Naval School, a party of men were observed on shore loading a six pound cannon, wi'h the evident intention of firing i'.ito the boat. Just as they were about applying the match, Col. G. P. Kane who had been on shore in the hurry of departure, was seen to throw himself on the gun, when she w as seen lo burn prime several times, but would not go off. Whether the gun was loaded with shot or not,i not known, but the general impression of those on boaid was that it was loaded with pieces of bricks and other missiles. It is a providenti.il circumstance that the gun was not fired. Had it taken effect in the part of the boat where the ladies and children were stowed away, there is no telling how many innocent lives might have been sacrificed. No blame, whatever, can be attached to Mi. Phillips, in consequence of the boat not going to St. Michaels, for which she was expressly chartered. Col. Kane reaahed the city yesterday morning in the railroad cars from Annapolis. Fiom him we learn that when he arrived where the eun was stationed, he got hold of it and never left it until it had been spiked by Juge Brewer. The flashes seen by those on board the boat were the fruitiest attempts made to dischirge tne gun after it had been spiked. The following persons were injured on the wharf. T. C. Leckerman, shot in the leg, slightly wounded. Basil McNew, ove rseer from the ccunty, shot in the aide, very badly. John Brady, baker, shot in the sWe, very badly. Watkins Hai!, 18 year of age, two toes shot off. Edward Barroll, wounded in the thigh very dangerously. The Mayor of Annapolis, accompanied by Judge Brewer, arrived in this city yesterday morning, for the purpose, we learn, of giving the matter a thorough investigation. Excellent. "What do you charge for board?" asked a tall Green Mountain Boy. as he walked up to the bar of a second rate hotel in New York. "What do you ask for board and lodg - ing?" "Five dollars."' "Five dollars! that' too much; I suppose you'll allow for the limes I am absent from dinner and supper?" "Certainly 37i cts. each." Here the conversation ended, and the Yankee took up his quar lerst for two weeks. During w hich time he lodged and breakfasted at the hotel, but did not take either dinner or supper, saying his business detained him in another portion of the city. At the expir ation of two weeks he again walked up to the bar, nd said, "spose we settle that account; I am coins in a few minutes." The land lord handed him his bill. "Two week's board at $5 $10.": "Here, atranger," said the Yankee, "this bill is wrong -you've made a rr istake you've not deducted the times I was absent from dinner and supper 14 days, 2mals per day 28 meals at 37 cts. each- $10:50. If you've not the fifty cents change that's due me, I'll lake a drink and the rest in cigars. 'Take My Mother out of the Cojinl" It was little Celia' own dear mother! and as the pensive group hung for a moment on the pale cheeks of sadness, there stood in her large blue eye the significant tear of natural affection. But the fixing of the last seal which was to hide forever from her view Celia's dearest friend on earth was too much for endurance. The half aupptessed tears now flowed immoderately, as she uttered the following strain of impassionate eloquence O! take my mother out of that coffin?" The effect wrs electrical. Never did I witness friendship's wreath so beautifully entwined. It was a rate specimen of juvenile attachment. I hastened U admin istertothe Peet child such consolation as the circumstances pcnunrcu, mat ner fond mother hsving been pious, left in the joy ful hope that Jesut would raise her from the grave at the last day, renewed in his image, and that she, being a good girl, would again see her departed mother, and live with her forever. Genesee Evan. Prolific Wheat. The St. Louis Republican of5ih inst. gives the following account of the most extraordinary Wheat plant of which we have ever heard: A curiosity may be seen at this office. It ia a sheaf if we may so call it of wheat, the product of a single grain, when sown. It numbers seventy stalks, and contains,as near as can be ascertained, fur thousand grains. It is five feet high, and the w heat is of a splendid quality. This curiosity was grown on the farm of John Sappingtnn, Esq , of Gravois. who, we understand, in the cultivation of ihis grain, considers a peck of seed sufficient for an acre of ground, instead of using a bushe! or a bushel and a half, as many farmers do. Revelling JUurdsr. The Holy Springs (Tenn.) Gazette of the 23th ult. saya; "A wortby young man, by the naraa of Car penter, was murdered on Saturday last, m the most shocking manner, by a slave whom he wis atteapting to chastise.

werorcrat, probably the most rapid Loco foco paper in Pensylvanik: Gen. Taylor has already won laurels that will never fade. His name is associated with everything heU dear by free, men, and his fame will be handed down from generation to geneation as one of the greatest men of the age in which he lived. Washington; Jackson, and Taylor are names worthy to he associated together, and true patriots will venerate them in all time to come. SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
