Of Cromwell, and others with wigs, the locks
OF which foated with grace around their
shoulders. Their march, their accoutrements,
and the whole arrangement of the troops,
furnished matter Of amusement to the British
army. The music played the airs of two
centuries ago, aud the tout ensemble, upon the
whole, exhibited sight to the wondering
strangers, to whice they had been entirely
unaccustomed.
Among the club of wits that belonged to
the British army, there was Doctor Shack
burn attached to the staff, who combined with
his knowledge Of surgery the skill and talents
of musician. To please the new corners,
he composed tune, and with much gravity
recommended it to the officers, as one Of the
most celebrated airs of martial music The
joke took, to the no small amusement Of the
British. Brother Jonathan exclaimed it was
nation fine, and in few days nothing was
heard in the provincial camp but the air Of
Yankee Doodle.
Little did the author, in his composition,
then suppose that an air, made for the pur-
pose Of levity and ridicule, should be marked
for such high destnies. in 20 years from
that time. the national march inspired the
heroes Of Bunker's Hill, and in less than 80,
Lord CORVALLIS and his army marched into
the American lines to the tune of Yankee
Doodle

Erom a Rochester papc,


Wonderful Discorcry-Thc excavations for the
Gcnesseo Canal, in this city, have unveiled some nte
resting animal remains, respecting which friend has
handed us the following memorandum
Remains Of the Mastadon have been discovered in
digging the Rochester and Oleon Canal, in this city, at
the intersection Of Canal and CALEDONIA streets, about
four feet below the surface of the ground mbcded in
a well defined deposit Of diluvan, mrregnaed with
IRON The only remains preserved two of the short
ribs about four feet long, bone supposed to be one OF
the lower bones Of fore leg, and fragments of an i'm
mense tusk The workmcn describe the tusk to have
been as large as mans body, and some ten or twelve
feet longit mistaken by them for log, and broken
to piecesonly twelve or fourteen inches of the point
escaped racture-the rest broken to pieces, and
Of it, together with other parts OF the skeleton,
were thrown and buried in the earth excavated from
the canal The pieces of the tusk preserved, exhibit
the texture Of ivory distinctly an ivory comb and
retain their original whitcness The ribs are in state
Of perfect preservation. VI. ss
Probably the entire skeleton deposited in or near
the place where the remains found and more may
yet be discovered. Biologists assign remote origin
to these and similar remains, supposlng them TO have
been buried their present situations by the universal
deluge at which time the animals themselves are sup

EMIGRATION TO TEXAS.

According to paragranh in the Memphis
(Tenn.) Enquirer, emigration to Texas is
going lorgard on large scale. The editor
says -" There is scarce elbow-room left in
our streets and highways leading into town
on account Of the constant pouring in of horses
and wagons, and the helter-skelter melee Of
emisrating paraphanalia. Several hundred
families must have crossed the Mississippi al
this point on their way to the promised land
within the last six weeks and the rush is
still onward. We almost fear for the popula-
ton of East Tennessee; for not Wagon
passes but some dozen chiefs belonging to it,
poke their flaxen heads through the holes of
the canvass" ....

ORIGIN OF YANKEE DOODLE.
From Judge Martins History of North Ca
rolina, what follows is taken

From Judge Martins History of North Ca
rolina, what follows is taken:
In the attacks made against the French
posts in America, in 1855, those against
Niagara and Frontenac, were made by Co
vernon Shirly, Of Massachusetts, and General
Johnson, of the State of New York.
Their army, during the summer, lay on the
eastern bank of the Hudson, little South of
the city of Albany. In the early part of June,
the troops of the eastern provinces began to
pour in, company after company, and such
an assembly of men never before thronged
together on such an OCCASION unless an ex-
ample may be found in the ragged regiment
of Sir John Falstaff. 1t would have relaxed
the gravity Of an anchorite to see the de-
scendants of the Puritans marching through
the streets Of that ancient city, and take their
station on the left of the British army, some
with long coats and others with no coats at
all, and with colors as various as the rainbow
some with their hair cropped like the army
