 MAJOR DOwNING's CORRESPONDENCE.

 To ny old J'ieud r. D.cfgt, efthe Ne,O Fork Daizs Adusrtsser.

 Ever since and the Gineral settled the Post Office accounts, as elpd you in my last, by charging the amount that Major Barry is astern, to Glory and ReiOrm, she GiOeral has been more easy about it

 than am aeared other folks be especially some of the opposition folks n Congress- they keep sellin round and unless we git up another nnllifcation there will be trouble, not only about the Post Office, but some other branches of the Departments.

 ] Congress keeps hammering away yet about the de- pOsls, and the GiRera was agoin to give up, when we got the news from Albany of the of the Legis laIUr there in favor of the Gnera in taking away the deposits from the BAted States BaDk and the of the New Jarsey Legshlur, and strong news too that some other Legislaturs would do the same. The Gn- erai was amazingly tickIed, and says he, Major, reckon your notion that the people warnt with us that pint IS mistake, and now says the Ginera. I'll hang on and keep the deposits. aud Riddle may whis ,le for em Welt says l. Gineral. we'll see, and as said atore II the people don'I tell their Legsla inrs another siory aud Congress too afore we R month oldsr then,' says |, know nOthiRg ea etA. 'Very we'll, Major says the Ginern we'll see' = and jest then tn come Amos and the Globe man, and some more of our olks and ookin pretty streaked too and got notion right off iheie someihin stirrn -and SO they began to tell the Gine:al that Riddle was to work brbn all the people he could to sign pee itions {" Congress asking put back in the Bank all the deposits agn, and to recharter the Bank. Why, says the Gi"erai, ant that too bad, Major-we must give the Bank says he that Latin pill, there is nohn will stop bal that skiry faeias,' tor some sch a 1 name the Gneral calls t) Now, says l. Gincral, stop bit-there is one thing puzzles me considerable about this bribn business-I should like Co know who they be who .akin brbes-il aint in the of things, says for Squire Riddle to brbe the friends Of

 the Bank, for that would be useless-ihen, says it must be that he bribn the enemies oihe Bank, and that's our party. Now, says l, will you set by aud hear folks say, that party such scabby set of fellows as to take bribes-il you do says !, won't, and with that rig up but afote could gn round the corner of the table and ihe Gimeral alone agn.

 sat down and said no,hin--l gred my teeth spell, but that didn't do much gooG-I took any knife and whhed the table. but tha, warnt much better, and the ony way 10 rights that put in good temper gin, was to whistle more than 40 varses of Yankee Doodle, for didn't like say a word to the Ginera whilst was in pashin. The Gneral was all the while waKin up and down the room-so soon as got through whisn, says l, Gineral, guess best say nothing more about brbin, says well, says he, Major, reckon you are right, for inc notion never struck me alore that that kinder talk hits right upon the heads of our friends, for they are the ony ones that need brbin. Now, says Ginera jest lets you and sit down and talk over this bSsiness, and I'll tell you, like true friend how the ca! is gon jump, and Il u don't turn out as tell you, I'll give you my ax. and throw in my regimentals in the bargain and so the Gineral he sOi dowR, and went al il.

 h the first place, says |, if git ]" pashi": you must keep coo-and if you git in pashin l'H keep cool but if we both git in pasl,in then there's no tellin. Wsl. says the Ginera, that's agood notion, Major. for that's jest the way the Ingins do and they arn Wisuom from natur you never see aA anu his squaw git drunk ,ogeiher-when one gifts drunk tother keeps sober, and they take turn and turn bout. We'll says I, l never heard !ha, atore, but suppose ho they gi, along better when they are both best, but in treaty time. Well. says ], thats no matter, ihs aini exactly what am arter, hat I've got gS"asH s @ f@sakse: k % and got up kinder nnI ication; there warnt much in it aricr a' according my old friend Dwghi's bOok-'ut folks South thot there was, and they kept so,er and last year the South got drunk, and then ali North kept sober and that froic is ended. Now, says l., North and South and East and West all sOber and all shakn hands, and they say sUe have been takin drop too much there ain nulIi6ca,ion where in part'cular but

 its all notification all about US, and all hands are iorm- in ring and closn in upon us here, pretty much 'iKe a wolf hunt-they all say have take" the money that belongs 10 the people, and the people wont oe conten till we give it np-ihat's pretty much the n''6 of the busness-and we shall nave petitions ana me- morals from all quarters tumhlin m upon ns' an" we don't mind them, they will he lollow'd by hard nocks, s like the story in the old spelin Books a'on the old man drvin the boys from the apple tree-he ,hrowd grass frsr and that don no good. ne 'r'ed stones, and that brought em down pretty quick.

 The Gineral he began to git in n pashn--and says he Major I'm gittin mad. Very well says G,nerai I'll keep cool accordn 10 agreement; and with ihat

 the Gineral slated round spell with his hickory and talked about New Orleans-and S'mino'-ahu me Grand tower-and l set whittlin all the wh'ie-why

 e: n 'Iys ,Ss % says no the people say wrong in takn emY Suppose 'ne peoPe say the Laws agin us, what thenT Well says me GneTal I've telIc em that the Laws "'e o"y Jes AS understand cIn, and ncihin else. Now, says S1iher- a suppose Clay, Calhoun, or Webster w"s 'n your office and said so-and you was in Congress, or was one of the people and ddnt agree with em-h0w 'hen says n O. says she Ginera, that's very duierent thiny-any of them fellows would be dangerous 10 trust with any kind of power. Well says my notion

 s however, that the law dout mean 10 trust n"nody and as am peskily aieard one or tolher on em VIII git in here arter go 10 the herm''age-i dont want 10 have any thing done now by US tha! they w

 do and then tell they ony do what we d'a. nat the ony thing that puzzles me-ior says l' uanera' sass for the goose ought be sass for the gander

 Well, says the Gineral, there is some,h'n n that Maior-6ui says he, cant give up inc Deposits any how: Amos says he must hold on 10 en, and all our folks say so too Yes, 1, GincraI its true enuf the hounds have got the stag down. and got ssIe on hm afOre she hunters come up. and suppose ihefe

 will be eete left but the horns and trotters: ou says

 l. n aint right and the people will tell Us so you may depeud: and all have to say ls h what we nave ooue

 is to be the rule hereafter, don't know but should like to he President myself: for folks m'gnt make

 laws and all I'd have do would be Jst o unoersiano

 'etn accordin to my notion.

 don't see Major says the Ginerai, how 'ti you ge

 such odd notions about public sentiment. know

 cant be mistaken for evry letter have time to read

 tells me l am right; and read the Globe from one

 eend o tother every day, and that paper tells every

 thing and see nothin there that tells me am rons

 we'll says l, Ginera you know you ha'nt got tune

 reati more than one letter in hondred that comes;-

 That's true enuf says the Ginera, but then our tok do and they tell me evry thing. Ie'i you evry thng . says i-but no maiier'-and 90 l whistied ankes Doodle a spell. No. No, Major, says the Gineral

 the opposition folks throw dust n your eyes, you can

 see things clear the rest of our folks aoooi us fest was going to speak, but hnd'n my dander va vo .o h;a,lin and took nIgt
