sense my friend c. rote them for me-in fact,
never knowed exactly what they wur myself, and

which is nothin to the crooks and turns which me
and nv advisers are making night and day. tell
you John, this thing of bein President is not what
they crack up to be- and rot me if wouldn't rather
hoe cottng on my place There's no end to the both

derment to me that whar thar is so much land thar
should be so much hunger and thirst after the scraps
when all the best pickins is snatcht up

tattoo and then they haunt my sleep at night. Il
want YOU john to come and help me fight EN- off, for
rot if shall live out my time IN such SWEET as
this, and then want some honlst man to talk TO me

Between ourselves, John, think my advisers niout
we'll of fired blank catridgs to scatter their shot
so wide of the mark as they did in that sham mes

By the way, John, have been bored for wantin to
be at peace with the world and the rest of mankind
and wouldn't sine that muRgFil message till they
put it in but I'll tell you priUate John, what ment

the world from mother Eve t. Mrs. Webb and sent
Webb off in haste on that account. If can only

SUPPOSED Loss A PHILADELPHIA SH1P.-By the
European accounts it will be that the ship S.
P. Whitney, of New York. is supposed to have been
lost in gale Liverpool just before the steamer
sailed We have much reason to fear that this is
the ship j. P. Whitney; Capt GLIDDoN, of this port
There have been several American ships named
| :" Whitney" One of them, the packet ship " Ste
phen Whitney," of New York, was lost Arklow
Bank in January, 1848. Another, the ELI Whit
ney,' of Boston, arrived at Havre, January 10Th,
from Savannah that it cannot be neither of these
| which has been lost in this gale The only vessel
of the name is the ship ~. P. Whitney,, of this
port This ship cleared hence on the 5th of Janua-
ry and went to the 9th. This would give her
time to make ordinary thirty days trip, on the
occurrence of the Storm which is said to have pre-
vailed on the 9th, 7th and 8th of February.
The J. P. Whitney belonged to STEPHEN BALDWIN
& Co. She was new ship, of about $50 tons regis
ter built last winter in Damariscotta, Maine, and
had made but three four voyages. Her cargo
when she sailed from this port as follows 4061
barrels Flour, $50 do. Corn Meal, 1856 bushels
Wheat $50 sacks Corn. 3O4 hhds Quercitron Bark
| 1876 tierces Glover Seeds.
We shall look anxiously for the details of this dis
aster by the mails though from the slight alusion
made to it in the telegraphic dispatches it is proba
BILE that full accounts will not be received until the
arrival of the next steamer."-PhI. Bull, 24th ult.
