DowNINGvILLE, STATE OF MAINE,
NOVEMBER, 8. 1853.
DEAR GNERAL: got back from my tower
in Euro,e yesterday, and found Uncle Joshua,
and Aunt Keziah and Cousin Nabby, aud
Cousin Sargent Joel all well; and hope these
few lines will find YOU enjoying the same bless
ing. I'm glad of one thing, snd that is, that
you amt troubled SO much about organs as you
was when went away. There wasn't any
organ then, only the Union, and that was a dis
puted one. SD had to send my despatch to
my old friends, Mr.. Gales & Seaton, and got
them to forwsrd it TO you The best way they
could. But under tand now that organs is
getting to be as plenty as blackberries; and
that seems to be lucky about this time, for if
what Uncle Joshua tells mo is true. it will need
good many Of 'em to play tunes 10 suit all
parties. If you could manage TO have an or
gan for each ucmber Of the Cabinet, it would
bo great help; for then each one could play
his own tune, and no jarrlng; and harmony is
what we need all round. Mr.. Marcy needs an
organ all 10 himself to fire nff his Al Founders
at Austria and the rest of Europe, 10 keep mat
ters straight over there. And Mr.. Guthrie,
I'm sure. needs an organ a to himself to II an
age his New York correspondence. And
there's Gne-al Cushing he ought to have a
nice organ all to himself that would play mill
tary tunes, SO that everybody as soon as they
heard it, would feel us if thcy wanted to march
And Gneral Davis ought to have n military or
gan too: but some say he and Gineral Cush
ing might get along very well with one organ
between 'em, and that Gnersl Davis could
play his variations on Mr.. Guihrie's organ.
nd than tba n diffa arant 0so,tinps a" of tho mn r.
ty needs different organs too. mover be-
lievcd the same tune would satisfy the "Hards"
and the "Softs" of New York; and from what
Uncle Joshua tells me its jest 30. He says
the organ has been pouring out delightful
strains Of harmony all summer, but tho more
it poured em onl tho greater was the discord
between tho Hards and Softs, till it ,inay
worked 'cm to a pitch of phrensy. and he Gays
they are now figh'in and pulln caps like mad.
That shows clearly to my mind that tho diffc-
rent SECTIONS ought to oil have their own or
gsns. and don't think there'Il be- any peaco
till they have. Aud that's why I'm glad to
find that organs is growing more plenty.
But about my tower in Europe I've got a
good deal to say, moro than can get into this
despatch. and some of it think would work
well into your message to Congress next month,
if | can get time to bring it. or send il on to
you in time. Ye sec, as had your commission
of Minister Gineral tn 90 on my own hook
wherever pleased. and look after matters Jest
as thought best. i, gin me capital chance to
work 10 advantage. Aud Mr.. Marcy's rules,
too. about dress worked first rate; for when
thought it best to 60 il a little on tho sly
could jest put OH my jrub surtout and broad
brm hat and sagaciate around among The
whole billing Of en- aud they wouldn't mis-
trust who was. So when found out which
way the cat wa. going to jump. and thought
it was best to head 'em and bring 'em to
pint, had nothing t. do but TO pull my com
mission out of my pocket and show it TO 'em
and tina, did the business. The fact is, Eu-
ropes afraid of us. think we arc fast get
ting the upper hand. There aint another ma
ton i'm all creation, without It's Russia, that
hardly dares to say her sous her own, for fear
we shall be down upon her aud take her soul
away from her And even Russia feels little
tickIish for fear that. when sho gets into her
highialntin with Turkey, aud the rest Of Eu-
rore goes to takin sides, we shall turn tn and
lick the whole scrape and annex em t. our
modern Rome. ] see some body has put cut
book that proves as clear as preachin that
the United States is modern Romo; so when
Gineral Gushing said in his speech we must
march, march, march, and do as old Rome did,
he was talking by the book.

TO be tight scratch all round before it is over.
The truth is, Russia is in real arnest after Tur
key as ever bear was TO get into cornfcld.
She cambercd over into the field, like great
bear as she is, jest for the purpose of eating
her way through from on, cud to 'tother. But
she intended to do it all in peaceable friendly
way, marching coolly and slowly along. step
by step. till she got down to the lower end of
tho field, and then she would swallow Constan-
tinople just rs quick as a cat would lick her
ear. The Gar intended TO do this in very
friendly quie, way. nbbling along at his leisure
and not have any fuss at all about it. But the
foolish Sultan got frightened, and worked him
self into tantrum. and told Mr.. Bear to clear
out his cornie'd in fifteen days or he'd set
the dogs arter him. Well. that made the Car
mad; and now hc says, clear the track. for he's
going down to Constantinople whether or no.

England and France will be for having finger

Well, now England and France don't mean
