From the New York jExpress. WASHINGTON, 2d Apt il, A. D. 18S9, To SQUIRE BthnLlC: I got your letter tellin me you had quit the Batik, and intended, it you could i!os sihly so manage matters, to go to farming. I know this lies always been your notion, and that you would do so as soon as you see all things clear ahead; and a man who has been cyphering so hard as you have fur over to enty years for the public, now I think has seine right to go and dig his own pctotoes, and hoe his own corn, and take a little comfort in his own way. But somehow I feel, Squire, a little wamble-• crop'd, j et as I did when the Gineral left and went home to the Ilemitage; and tho' you have left in your place as goad a man to manage the Bank as the Gineral has to manage the Government, I hope you will keep an eye on matters and things, and give as much of your advice in matters von understand to Mr. Dunlap and his - Cabinet. as the Gineral does to Mr. Van and his Cabinet. The fact is, you and the i Gineral. I al was thought, was made of pretty much the same kind of grit, and both on you considerably overwork'd yourselves, tho the Gineral got the best pay. 1 used to tell the Gineral—says I 'Gin. eral :'Ol.l are too good natured by half, you not only du Government work but you dip into gritty n sick all kind of Ns tic that no other President ever thought on,' and the fact is, the Gineral did carry mat ters so far, or !et other folks carry him so far that there was few things going he was. not mixed up with; till lie got so atlastithat aimst every old lady about the country wouldn't set a hen, without writin or call ing on the Gineral to ask him which was the most lucky number to put into the nest, 11 eggs, or 13 eggs; and almost wore him to skin and bone, I believe you was the only man who could out work the Gineral and if it hadn't ben that you was a leet .e younger than he was, he'd made a tooth pick on you as he did of pritty much all the rest of creation. Betas I said before, lam considerable wamblecropt at y ourT leaving public. life--for now that the Gineral has gone to hum and you too—l feel some what cutout. Mr you Buren don't seem to want my services no how, and I don't complain of that—l did expect to git a chance "Down East," but he selected OmesexAL Scorr—a man that out.rank'd me all hollow, as he does pritty much eve. ry man now allays. However, Gineral Scott did'nt forgit me, and said if there was any lighten to be done among the Loggers, he knew who he could count on, and look'd me strait in the face; and I set down and writ a letter mark'd , confidential,' to the '2d Brigade,' and tell'd 'em to stand firm and obey no orders but Gineral Scott's—that it was a ./‘ camel/ matter, and he was is National OPer; and that when he said 'shoulder hoo,' then to march, and follow him to Holton or Halifax., or any place begining with an li—if he chose to lead; and in that way they multi not only have a Fairfield but would be some of a ‘ff , in : field,' and that was more Important. In this matter of fighting there is one thing always kept my eye on; and I foandGiaarar Scott in the same way of thinking; and that is, to depend. less on folks who say they are 'ready to shed the toe drop of their blood,' than on folks who ars ready to shed the first drop. Give a man eight dollars to make speeches in Congress, with the right of free postage, and you hear enuf of 'last drop' matters; sat when it comes to camp duty, and raw heelasttl stale bread, and bagnei work then the 'first drop' folks have to stand the racket at 8 dollars a month. I tell'd Gioerat Seed -says I ‘Gisteral, I suppose You would about as leave fight as eat, for :his is you: nature--but for my part, see ng as how things are ;Win on remarks aly smart now all over the country, and he Spring of the year too, and the uew im :trovesnents every day; :and the green etves and grass, and the little children, ill sin outing, an d the canals rale roads shout halt made, and the cotton clops est about beginning, and the Banks all gettin, -, into specie payments, and ev ,ty thing looking about slick—to say noth ug Rama' the steam boats crossing the )tteast every week; it does seem to ins hat a war wont help matters no how.' knew that," say Ise, Major —.War 3 a great calamity, and there aint only me thing worse,' says he. 'What is that!' says I. 'National dishonor,' say he 3tratening up pritty nigh like an Aroos took pine. 'Go a-head you critur,' says I and if there is any chopping to be done :;:ast, let me knew.' Well, you see what le has done; and all I've got to say about t thus far is, that when you come to think hat a man nigh seven feet high and strait is a bean pole, and all grit from one end o (other, is willitig to work like a beaver it all pines—South and South-West, Worth and North-East, and Down East, .a keep an honorable peace; and watch like s link, to see that the nation's honor is ao way sited. I do think tho' a war would ;ivehne considerable boost up in the wsrld military rank, the man who keeps the niece is, according to tho Good Book, en itled to a blessing—especially if war is :is trade. There is one thing I think Mr. Van Buren deserves great credit for, and that s in commanding the services of such a nan as Gincral Scott. to manage all mat. era of this nature; and there is only one ling inure I think is wanting, and that the mople are entitled to, and that is some me to manage the money matters, of the !ountry as well. I go ya the principle, hat tt 41311900 es rigkt in using the best plough he can get on his farm, and sowing' the best gram; jest so a President does righ in calling into the sarvrce of the coun try the best talent the country has; the ' People are entitled to it; and if Party folks grumble, they should take it out in grumbling. Look what 'Party' has done already for some years back; 'Scratch ;ploughing and smutty crops;' but owl of I this. I thank you for your kind invitation to stop and eat peaches with you 'when They are ripe,' and as I remember you have got some capital early apple trees on your farm, I'll stop and take a bite on my way to the North, and a chance at the Peach es when I return back, jest by way of re minding you of old times in the Bank— for fist so sure you remember, when you tell'd bilks you thought Peaches would be ripe in September, they would be down upon you to get a nip of Early Apples in June, and then fetch up on the Peaches afterwards. The fact is, Squire, I am desperate ly 'afraid now that you and the Gin eral have both back'd out and gone to get some qui et and rest—that a good many on us will have cause to feel that good times have gone by—only with this difference, that the Gineral's extra work came from his notion of "rewarding friends and punish ing enemies," and you went on the prin ciple of feeding both--and one was about as hard work as tother. As Amos Kindle haint yet got a Post Office nigh your farm, I send this Letter to the "New York Express," to print and send out, and I suppose you'll git it some how that way best. Your friend in old times, and times present, and times to come, J. DOWNING, Major. Dnwningville Militia, 2nd Brigade. THE JOURN A.L.
