 My Good Friend-" Ihe GOUeTMmeRG" will leave here On Saturday, so you must tell aR our friends to stop sending any more letters here. We go strait tO Washington, to put things to rights there for winter.

 and the Gineral have got things now pret- ty considerable snug; and tt is raIy curious to see how much more easy and simple all the publie affairs go on than they did spell ago, when Mir. Adams was President. lift warnt for Congress meetin we could jest go about Pret- ty much where we pleas'd,. and keep things strait too and begin to think now with the Gineral, that arter all, there is no greht shakes in managin the affairs ofthe nation. We have pretty much all on us ben joggin about now since last grass: and things are jest as strait and clear now as they was then. The Cine ral has nigh upon made up his mind, that there is no use to have any more Congress. They only bother us-they would do more good to stay at home, and write letters to us tellin what is gOin on among 'em at home. 1t would save considerable sum of money too; and Ina also sartin that there is plagy raft of fel- lows on wages that don't earn nethin. HOws, ever, we arc goin on niakin things more sim pie every day and we once and while mock off pretty considerable number Of cOgg wheels and trunnel heads.

 The Gineral says he likes things simple as mouse trap. But what like most is, he wont have no one about him who outranks me, so there is me, and Major Barry. and Ma jor Smith, and Major Earl, and Major Do- naldson, and Major Lewis, and Major Ea- ton ;-and the major part of a pretty consid. erable of man to do the printing, and tell the folks where we be, and once and while where the land sales and contracts be too.-I There is enufr on us to do an that's wanted.-l Every day jest arter breakfast, the Gineral lights his pipe, and begins to think pretty hard. and and Major Donaldson begin 10 open letters for him and there is more than bush- els every day, and all the while coming. Wet don't git through more than bushel day ;l and never trouble long ones. unless they come from Mr. Van Buren, or MT. Kindle, or some other of our great folks. Then we sort 'em out, fest as Zekel Bigelow does the mackerel at his Packin Yard. fur tho there are plagy many more sorts than he finds among fish, we only make three sorts, and keep 3 big bas. kets, one marked not red," another '' red, and worth nothin," and another red, and to be answered." And then all the Gineral has to do is to say" Major. reckon we best cay so and 80 to that" and say ''jest so." or not, as the notion takes me-and then we go at it.

 We keep all the Secretaries, and the Vice President, and some District Attorneys. and a good many more of our folks, and Amos Kin. de. moving about, and they tell us jest how the cat jumps. And as said afore, ifit warnt for Congress meetn once year, wed put the Government in one horse wagon and go jest where we liked.

 The Gineral was amazingly tickled tother day. Peleg Rissel-(you know Pcleg, who Is all the while whitin, and sawin, and nakin clocks, and apple parers. and churns, and lives nigh Seth Sprague's School House, down to Downingville.) well, Pcleg sent the Gineral a new chnrn of his own inyention; and Ire calls it the Jackson Churn," he wants patent for it. The cute critur says, in his letter to the GiReral, that that are churn is jest like his G0vernment-its only got one wheel, and -sn1asher; and that it will make more butter than any other chnrn, and oat of eny most any thing. The Gineral is so pleased with it, he will set and turn it nearly all day. Says he, "Major, | like this ere churn amazingly, that Bissel is knowin fellow. If that churn had been made by Congress, it would have more than 50 wheels and springs, and make no more butter arter all. Maj0r," says he. "tell Peleg thank him; and send him a pat ent."

 And SO did and | tsllsd him in the letter, that the Gineral would keep his churn in the u0J Ot t&8 WnID mousse tO t0t tOtKv SGS tuNt it didn't require as many cog wheels to make butter, as they think on, and then when they come up chamber, In the Cabinet Room, and find only me and the President, they'll under. stand it tho better. When the Gineral come to sign this letter, well'' says he, Major, "that's just what wasthiuking on. We gel every day an evsrlastin bach of letters from Mr. Van BIren and Amos Kindle, and they are 90 plagy jagged, that we cant make 'ea At exactly with some others, eny most as jag ged, from the South and West, and all from our folks too. One wants one thing, and ona wants totker. Some ofour folks down Souti say, if the Bank is put down. we shall all b' split up into splinters there. And jest so, on! tother way. they say, we shant Gnd in weel any of our folks north. if the Bank is rechar tered, and some talk of the Nullhers in Ge0r gia going for Mr. Van Buren,, and that ". must look out sharp, and not do nothin agir lem. And some say that are tower of Mr Webster away West, and his speeches, bother some on em plagiIy." was a little stumpet Cor spell myself; and | tell'd the Gilsral says Gineral, if you expect me to satisfy all these folks, you're mistaken, we cant d. it." says I. Well then," says he. " we mus send for MT. van Buren," This kinder net tied me, and says !, Giperal, you ha'nt forgo that are churn slready"-" no. n0,'' says be we'll stick to that, Major" We'll then. ssys l, "dO you think that Mr. Van B0re will use that are churn he keeps his brea k..ssa. ad W aawa l,v FnnF.. vwhaala than fins
