Z CHICKEN DEPARTMENT,
APELAND, November 80, 1861.
Addums, you're smart chap. Did the thing de-
Gently the other day. Well whip em all soon
By-the-by Addums, we have "gone and done it,
I'm afraid. One of our boys has just grabbed four
of old Cornfed's fine cocks out one of Bulls royal
coops, and 1 wouldn't be surprised if that last old
chap rows about it; so look sharp and keep your
eye skinned, for you are my man. I'll just tell you
Addums (tho' you needn't to say nothing about it
except upon pinch that they warn't exactly au-
thorized to steal the chickens You understand:
Yours, &c, WILLIAM SNEAK"
o. BULL TO LYON.
BULL Pen, November go 1861.
The other night one of my royal coops was as
sailed by rock from fellow in the service of Will
liam Sneak Esquire and no appearing to defendit
it invaded and four notable cocks which cousin
Cornfed had entrusted to my care were distracted.
If the aforesaid Sneak has not returned them TO
you before this, show him this note and take him
the hair and tell him that will have those chickens
instanter or will lick him, as have half mind
to do anyhow. am, &C., BULL"
g. SNEAK TO LYON.
CHICKEN DEPARTMENT.
APELAND, December &c, 1861.
My Lord: The respectable Mr.. Bulls letter,
which you sent me, says so and so, and, though
you know all about it I'll say it again to fill up
and get started.
WE'LL the fact is the rock aoas dashed at the coop,
but as the boys tell me- twas all in the most affec-
tionate manner. Furthermore besides, and more
over, you ought to have said, but, "doubtlessly"
and very properly waited for me to say, that the
cocks in question real fighting cocks of the
trabandest character. But the pnts is these:
l. Was these cocks chickens?
2. Mghtnt a fellow peep into his neighbours
coop?
8. Did he peep scientifically?
4. Spying the cocks and taking them for chick
ems hadn't he a rseAt nab them?
5. Oughtn't he to have took the coop too?
As to the FIRST cocks Is chickens, by all the laws
of hen-roost (see opinions of Duck in Mudpuddle,
&C.,
As to the second, would like to ask, Hasn't
you peeped into coops YOURSELF"
As to the third and fourth will doubtlessly" be
agreed to, we pass to the ffth and theresthe rub
that's fact
Sometimes think he ort to have took the coop,
and then think he ortento; sometimes am d.
bus; and agin don't know what to think and
them specially since the reception of Ny Lords let
ter, all my argungs will slip over and get on the
wrong side and so, consequently, am very much
afraid, mot redtly AFRAID, though no, who's
afraid y but mean feel compelled to decide that
he ought to have took the coop. lnsomuch how
ever as he did not take the coop with the chickens
and in accordance with the American doctrine
WELL the fact is as you say you want the chickens,
and are polite about it have decided to fork
over" But see here. lin your carr don't help old
Cornfed any more. The cocks in the BoSting
coop; send and get them.
Your humble, obcdient servant

ENGLAND CONCENTRATES A WAR IN ANY EVENT
The London correspondent of the Manchester Guar
dian says 1.-The conviction forces itself upon many
that the day is not far distant when the Southern
Confederation must be recognized; and that recog-
milton may be expected to bring about fresh diff
fculty, in which we must be prepared to maintain
our policy. 1t is with this view, and as demon
straton Of our intention to hold our own way, that
the government is sending 10 900 men to Canada
without any reference to the reply of the American
Cabinet. If MesSrs Mason and Slidell landed at
Liverpool tomorrow not soldier toe less would be
sent out If we are to have a war with the North,
in connection with this United States schism there
could be no more favorable time than the present.
1t would be short and decisive war, and would have
a vital influence on the preservation of peace and
the uninterrupted freedom of commerce for many
years to come, without our having to pass through
the ordeal of social and mercantile confusion which
wars as a general rule, entail Our military de-
partments are working double time. The clothing
establishments at PimIloo was at full work all last
night and the preceding one.
1t is very common anticipation among persons
of Canadian experience that war with this country
is lkelier to end in our acquisition of Portland,
than in the capture of Montreal by the Federal
armies In any case, there are notifications of our
Canadian frontier which scarcely fail to follow
upon war. The States frontier, as settled by the
Ashburton treaty, closely hugs the postage road
our Canadian highway from the coaSt-along
great part OF its length. The United States have
two fortified ports close upon that road, which
would have to be taken at the outbreak of war,
as well as Cape Rouse (Which they have been lately
strengthening within thirty miles of Montreal
The London Observer of the 22d December, (min-
isteral organ) says that England wishes for peace,
but that she will gain by war, it will enable her
to recty her American frontiers, open the ports OF
the South, and give lesson to the United States
