another Letter from MaJ. Downing
Os TILE ROAD TO TIIF. WAR, August—,lB47.
Mr. Gales and Seaton:
My dear old Friends:—l spoke you'll be
amazingly disapinted to find I'm away off
here, onside on to the seat of war, and didn't
call to see you when I come through Wash
ington. But you must'nt blame mo for , it,
for Itould'nt help it; the President would'ut l ,
let me call; he said I was getting quiteitoo
thick with you, writing letters to, you and all
that. And when ho spoke about the letters,
he looked kind of red, and showed conside
table spunk.
-------Sayerho--,-Major-Dowrhrgillirive'put—a
gerfalderd of confidence in you as li friend of
tertultalnistration ; and it you are a friend
to.it, you mast let Gales and Seaton alone;
keep - out Of their way, and have nothin to
do with them; they aro dangerous, mischief
making fellers, etertially ; pcokin at my a
ministration, all 'Weathers. Let me tr,. to
keep things ever so snug, and lay m. p ans
ever so deep, they aro sure to dig hem all
up, lug them into the Intelligencer, and
blaze 'em all over the ccantry. Confound
their picturs, tbey.are the most troublesome
customers an Administration ever had ;
they've come, pretty near swamping me Itvo
enthren,liines. So if you are try friend, I
Warn - you not to be, so thica, with Gales and
teaton. .
Well, says It, Colonel , you know I am a
- - frieird to you and you r' administration, as
' touch as I ever was to the Old tiinetal and
- his administration; and I shrill eland. by you.
and do every thing I can to help fOu out of
the scrape you've got into about the war.—
But I don't know as, that nhed make mo

.colonel,
sayshow •is it they are sb thlek Mr.!
Ritchie's paper all :he time ?
At that he gave mb vety knowing kind'
of a look, and lowered his voice. down al
most to.a Whisper; and says he, Major,
tell you how it is. When Mr. Ritchie was n
piing mart tiebscd to fight n-good . deril with
the federalists, and took a guod.deal of pride
in it; and now he .fancies the SCAlieS_ of his
youth all seem tmcome tack: fresh to his
mind, itifil — ha can't think 'dr, t•Ak about any
thing, else. You know that's often times the
way With old people. As he always used
lo have the name of. a smart fighter, I,give
him the TOmmand df the newspaper 'battery
'here to defend my- namitiistration. But
'towns as 'great a-mistake ''twas when
sent Taylorinto Mexico. 1 didn't know'm v
'Man.
No matter what Rime was gathering
„to,
ovetthrow my administration, Mr. Ritchie ;
Somehow didn't Seem tosee. 4 eml nomduer
how hard they fired at me, tie didn't. seem
to hear ..and when I, called to him; to fir e• 1
baiik,Alie would rouse tip'and touch oaf a few
squibs well about as good aim as the boys
lake When th,ey - fire-crackeis - on-ltreAth of
July, and did about as Mubli execution: At:
Last I found. out a way that I conlif make the,
old veteran fight like a Tark and hold Oil
like a ball-deg.. It 'Washy giving him a no-.
lion 'af rug time that he was !fighting with
tederalists. Since I made driwiliscovery
'been more help to me. ;Viretiever 1 see an
eticmy . entrendhing 'himself around me, and
'Oringing'opliis batteries to fire into my ad
dialuistrafien, all 1 hove to do is to whisper in
Ritelne's ear and say,
smells of federalism ; you may depend upon
it there is tederalists abroad somewhere." l i
In a minute, you've no idea with what fury •
the (Id gentleman flies mend, and mounts
his heaviest guns, and sets his paper battery
in a roar. lyis shots fly ;right and telt., and
sometimes icnoctrs'doWn !friends as we.!l as
foes. To be sure they ilcn't ma:iae viiry
great impression upon the enemy; but then
there's this advantage fruit: if lie don't kill
or beat MT the znemy, he keeps the admin
istration solietTectly 'covered up With smoke
that The enemy can't see half the time wneie
go fire at us. On the 'whole, Mr. Ritchie is
a valuable man to my administration, not
withstanding ail his iii Slakes and blunders.
Just then (ha door open, and OM Should
come in tint Mr. Ritcliie himself. . As he o•
period the 'door he ketv,,,lied the sound of the
two last words 'the Piesidern was saying..
"M istiik es andldunders !?' says Mr. Ritch
ie, says he, whin, have you got something
more ol• Scott and Taylor's blundering in
iNlexiool„ •
Nothing more to-day, says 'the President.
I was only telling Major Downing how their•
blunders there have come pretty new rein'i
ing the country, and bow it is absolutely
cessary to get the staff out of their hands
somehow or other before they (pile finish
the job. l'in going to try one•more -plan,
Win Ritchie, but be careful you don't ray a
uythMg about it in-the Uniorp L and blow it
all up. 'I tried once to send Col. Berrien on
for the same purpose, and Congress blowed
that up,.. New I'm going to send Major
Downidg, not as n regular Chaplain ; but as a
sort-of-watch upon theta, you know to work
round and do the business - up befoM a-igh-ti
dy knows it. lie isril - 0 fele Seott nor Tay
lor, nor have anything to do with 'em, but to
work his way into Mexico and go right 'to
Santa Anna, and knock up a bargain a ith
him. I don't care what he gives... The 'fact
is, lit. Ritchie the country needs peace, and
141 have pence, cost what it will:
An excellent idea, says Mr. Ritchie, an
excellent plan, sir. for peace at all haz
ards, if it is to be found anywhere in Meal.
co—that iS, if we can get hold of it before
Scott and Taylor does. And I think Major
Dotting is just the man for tine staunch
democratic republican, and whatever he
does Will go for the benefit of die Adminis
tration. Now the'country's shins are aching
pretty bad with the war, and it we can fix up
a goodsmooth peace right off; and not let
Scott and Taylor - have any hand in - it - , who
knovus Mr. President, bat it might matte ohm
Administration so popular ) that yen and I
might both be elected to serve another four
yearsl But when Is the Major to start
Right ofrto night, says the President or
rather in the morning before daylight—hetet e
any body in ‘Vashington finds out that he
has got hack from Downingville. I have for
bid his calling at the Intelligencer office, and
I dont want them to find out or mictrust that
he has been here. If they should get wind
of the moverhent, they would be sure' tm
throw some constitutional difficulty io the
way,and try to make a bail botch of the bus
iness.
The President Shot me into his room, and
charged me not to leave the house while he
sent for Mr. Buchanan and Mx...Marcy to fix
up my private instructions. While he was
gone Mr. Ritchie fixed me op a nice little
bundle of private instructions too, on his own
hook, moddled he-said, on-the--Virginia-Rest
of n9S,. Presently the President canto .back_
with-m y-bhdgets-nll.readyi-anti -gi ve-me-My

From Illexitoi
The news from Mexico in to-days paper
throws 415 all a bark, and leaves things just
as they were. Gen. Scott instead of enter
itig Mexico on .the 17th, was at Puebla on
the 29th ) and it is evident that another se
vere battle is to be fought before the conk
quest of the capital is effected. The Mexi
can fore(' for the defence GI the Capital is
sard to be 9.5,000, with 1.1 pieces of cannon,
and 15,000 men scattered op the road . to
cheek the advance of Gen,Wat.- The force
under Gen. SAT( is 13,00 effe ctive men,
with artillery and batteries of the most com
plete character The result cannot be fettled
but the immense loss of life which must be
occasioned is mournful to centemplate.

pened-on tlns rail road; airout filte miles-west
of this borough, on Saturday meriting lust,
bc: which 11 r. 4/fad Sponskr, of-this bcrough,
and a fireman by- the name:of Samuel Rees-
Chambersburg Were very severely in
jured. -Mr. Sponsler was riding on .the En
gine-in company with the engineer and fire
man, and as the,train, going at rather rapid
speed, neared aside-track with had been
laid down at Davis' Mill, the Engineer sud
denly discovered that the switch on the main
track was displaced. lle had bat time to
give wanting and leap off himself, when the
Engine, electing the obstruction, bounded
violently off and was forced sev,rral feet tip
a high batik on the read side, front which
falling back a,gain it meshed and buried un
der the weight of its broken materials, fire
wood, leg the two persons above mentioned•
By the aid of the passengers in the train they
were speedily rescued from their awful sit
nation, but we regi et to, say that the Mimics
sustained by Mr. Spor.sler are such as to
leave. bat slender hopes of his reeoverl . Mr.
Reasner was also much injured, bet ire is
speedily recovering. None of tire cars. at
kited to the Erlgine were at all injured by
the Concussion, but the engine itself was
broken into pieces.
