January 21, Drill Lnclk Joshga : I Lave jest got back frout Washington, where I have been for the last fortnight watehia the old ship of S.ate layin tu in a sort of three-cornered gale of wi'id. This gale struck her the 'A3 1 of December, and threw h*r all aback and ihe gale holds on yet-tight as t ver, and there sue has been layiti now sovea weeks, head to the wind, rolling and pitchin, and imsu't gained ahead a rod. I've seen rough times in the Two Follies, and lonir gales of wind, hurrykanes and, whirlpool, and all sorts of weather, but this is the first time i've seen a craft layin to again a three- j cornered gale fot two months upon a stretch, ia a eir 'pphi sen wer: e than the Gulf Stream j in a thunder-storm. But don't yoa be frightened, Uncle Joshua; she won't go down, bat wbl lire through il, an 1 go on: hot voyu-3 by-au-by :.ll right. Our old ship of State is a stanch craft; she is built of the very best .-tuff and put together in tbo strongest maimer; and there Wi a spar nor :t plauk nor a timber-bead in her but what is as sound as a nut. Sue's the best ship in the.world, and the Two Follies 1. next. So you needn't ba afeard that any ■ sea will over swamp her; and if ever she j should to its danger of ruunia • ashoie or on the breakers by the an cabbies and fool in of , 1 her officers, sue . got a crew that wnl tasc care of her. You know; Uncle, I've been saiiin round Cuba nnd up the Gulf a good while, trying i to carry ouMho :• -us of our Congress a; Ostend and At-K'-U. ppel, to take Cuba because our country couldn't get along without it, and so it-preservation, you know, is the Sr.-t law of outer. Wg should got through that job long ago if our Cabinet hadn't Lacked out about it, 1 uovyr exact ly understood the houif difficulty ; but I'm sura there was some hard shuffling some- ' where, lte aji backia and Sllio in the tleuic Department was what bothered Us, an 1 pretty likely has upset tba business. First, ihe IF. as De- . parturent toil us to go ahead and fix up ou r Ostend matter she lest way we could. Bu l as soon as i and Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Uocln , and the rest of us in the Foreign Gove; nmcuf, had got things well under' way, and was about ready to take Cuba, the i llouie Departfueut turned ,'ght round and lit agiu u j , tooth and ntil. As I sai l afore, I cculdu't accwani. for this home 1 difficult'.' aud the sudden turn-abaut of tin? Home Department, unless they was afeard wo should got the most of the credit of takin Cuba; snd may be I, or Mr. Buchanan, or Air. Sooley, or Mr. Mason, or Mr. Sickles, or Mr. .Sanders might get to be President 1 by it. Cat such a thought never entered ! myher.d, ..iu I can pledge myself the same for all the rest. We was to work cut if"!- ' for tlse country's good, and nefhin cl.se. ! Aud for the Home Department to get : jealous of uar>d turn again in in that vay was <*rne! and onkind. It grieves me every time I think of i". for I think like the good l)r. Wat.'-; v.L re he suv, , How pleasant " is tn sc ; lircrthr -n an-1 friend* net- t 1 sent dog>n',-hps to Omars! Pier?about i it more than three months a go, hut never got any are v er. And finally I got tired ho! tn ou out tliere alone. and hearin all the time that the Home Department k ,t stopping nil tl. reinforcements from cont:nr ' ,w © months patft. Yfo.eu tlscy sec the Duwniugvtlle meltiia was aboard, and ..urgent Joel at the isfad of 'oiu urcssrd up i uniform, one of the pilots* took ujf to" one side and whispered to me that betvbuid adviro me as a friend not tu go up to g<" e, v -* ork, for if wi> did the Two Follies wyis a!' gone goose. " "Ilowro!

"If that's the ease," says I, "I'H leave ! the Tso Fullics at anker here, and I'll be i off to Washington and see how the land lays.' j So I called up Cant. Jumper, the sailing master, and told him too keep things ad snug and tight while I was gone, and I told Sargent. Joel to take good care of the j nier.,artd I'd try if possible to be back in a ' fort rv glit. When I got *o Washington I thought I would j -st run in a few minutes end see bow Congress was getting along first. I had let trty bean! grow pretty Dug, and was | dressed so different from wh it I used to that I didn't feci afeard of anybody's knowing me; so I went right into the Repre ! sen Vi tives' chamber took'a sect in ti. 1 rtu'derv.

Notv, Major, I wish you would shy found among the Members a day or two aud i see if you can't bring matters to a p iutq I Jort't much care who is Speaker, if thuy'tl only organize."

The tune of Yankee Poodlo is said to ' hare ben composed by I)r. Shaekburg. attached to the British army, in 1755, when the troops of the Northern Colonies march ed into Alhanj, preparatory tc the attack on the French posts at Niagara eud Fron- ; tcriac. The Itabilnu'nts of these recruits ! presented a strange contrast to the orderly appointments of the English soldierly, and thb music to which they inarched was as antiquated and outre as their uniforms.-- fU;.t:-kburg, who po-essed some musical knowh tgp, composed a tunc for the new comers, which he told thciu was one of the most ci !clir.

The tunc was not original with Shack- J burg, as it has been traced back to the tim" j of Charles J., in England. In the tcigti of j his son we find it an easy accompaniment to j a little song on a famous lady of easy vir- I tue of that date, which has been perpt tna- j ted as a nursery rhyme— Lucy I/oeket lost her pocket, Kitty Fiaticr bimi it.
