 1 The administration is conducted on the principle of an organ, or of three organs. It requires mach wind, many stops. aud heavy touches, 10 get Hp l respectable tune. Ordinary musicians cannot play on the instruments with snccesz, and those who 6o play to the best advantage wonder what mace ths noiSe- The eggsas, Ii is rumored, about to play i together; but the National Whig. ihe National In- tslligencer asd the Republic, no more harmo- ! niZe than bass singer with the asthma, a tenor singer with fit of stammeriBx upon him, and l high counter with fatal facility in music tha, would sing the tune throug twice before the others had finished stave.

 1 We recoiiect once seeing drunken trumpeter | going home from muster. A mad bull met him on l the way. a Boo-oo-oo' said the ball. ~ Damn yoa, sound your 4, ,'' said the trumpeter. Bco-oo- %, said the bull. Sound yoar A, i" again replied the trumpeter At length the huil took the trump eter upon his horns. and pitched him over the fence At this strange and extraordinary treatment on the FfaTa raised himself to his feet, and, shaking his fist towards the cloud Of dust that sRrroaDced the tri 1 1mphant ball, exclaimed, in a voice of mellow I thunder" You may bs a good musicianer, but damn me if you any gentieman.''
 The lnteliigencer has of late endeayored to sound 1 his A al the command of ths :. " Aig," but has made a complete failHre of il. It hzs, however tossed the Whig into adjoining lot. and, ia Bew prospectus. has left the heroic s take care of itself. Whether the "Whig' will admonish the 1neiligencer, the trumpeter cid the bull remains 10 be seen. At any rate, expect great things from the former. and little from the latter. From the RrPublic we expect another sort of music; and. as i; has green sign. we have no doubt ba: that fl will be great iavorite at court.
 The late mistake in the appointment of navy agent for this port has made sad havoc in the higher circles Why the Second Washington should per sst ia declaring Alexandria in tke District of Co- laTubia. we know not, unless the retroeession of
 
 kao~ the Executive never could have appointed an individual out of the District to any local office here, becaase he declared it.; and the Second Washington never has nor never will violate a pledge break his word, if he thinks of it, we are certain.
 The friendship which the old chief of this new heroic age eatertains for of his old friends IS astonishing When asked who he really meant should have certain navy agency, we arc told that he reptIsd with more than Napoleon protnptResS- Why, the man who married the niece of my old friend 5. don't know whether his name is La- thgieEsa or Lvt&rsp. do care" This jib@s ia well with the ftsoA lsf,ey and the inaugaraI Gd- dysss, wherein he stated thai he had freEfs to
