Our skeleton Army, and Other Cries.

The arranged chorus is the Inadequacy
Of our Military Force" with the variations
OF "Our Skeleton Army" and the DE
fenceless Condition of the Territories"
The scream will be loud, and probably it
will last the summer through. The Del
egate from Montana pitched the key
note when he shouted on the floor OF the
House his protest against allowing the
army to remain in a skeleton condition,
dangling from the seaGolL Ul economy and
bleaching in the wind Of starvation" The
variations will be sung to the score OF the
orator who argued in the last extra session
o. Congress as follows:

1t Is noteworthy fact that precisely this

The Latest and Last Letter from Mr..
WattersOn.

We publish in to-day's Sun another long
letter from Mr.. HENRY wATTERsoN. Mr..
WATTERsoN assures the public that 1t Is his
last letter in his controversy with Mr.. HEw-
TIT; that he has done; and that he returns
at once TO his home in Kentucky.
Mr.. WArTERsoN devotes large part OF
his letter to deserved eulogy upon Mr..
TILDEN for never having, by word or sign,
countenanced the unconstitutional Electoral
bill. This point Mr.. WATTERsoN puts clearly
and well.
We are panied TO observe that he does not
speak of the Hon. ADRIAN $. HEWITT in that
strain OF unqualified commentator which
he bestows upon Mr.. TILDEN.
The late distinguished JOHN MINOR Boris
OF Virginia used to mention it as one OF the
remarkable events Of his life, that, at
political convention where the hotels were
crowded he had, on one occasion, slept In
the same bed with Capt JOHN TYLER"
1t must be evident TO the most careless
reader Of the respective epistles Of Messrs
HEWITT and WATrERsoN that they are In
no frame OF mind-in howsoever crowded
quarters they might find themselves-to re-
peat this experiment.
We are sorry Mr.. WATrERsoS Is obliged to
go home. Had he remained in this city
longer. he might have acquired from The
Sun that lamb-like spirit Of kindness
In treating an opponent which would greatly
have improved his style Of composition, and
also have brought celestial peace to his now
torn and raging breast.
Still, Mr.. WATTRRsON has mended his
manner somewhat. He goes so far as to
III NJ, bo
bobolink IS not only one of the
gayest Of birds in the variegated
plumage It wears in the spring
but it is also one Of the very sweetest of
singers. Many years ago youthful genius
OF New Hampshire made himself famous by
an inimitable little piece called The Song Of
the Bob'lnk." He would have made his
fortune also; but he took TO drink and died
young-a fate which Mr.. HEWITT and Mr..
WATTERsoS may congratulate themselves
on having escaped.
Mr.. WATTERsoN is a gentleman OF enthu-
sastic temperament, and ii he perseveres
In his studies of natural history, we
expect, from this modest beginning
with boblink, TO see him at the
age OF seventy, with long silvery hair
streaming down his shoulders, after the
manner OF the late Mr.. AUDUBON, travelling
about and soliciting subscriptions for WAT
TERsoSs Birds Of America.
