[We are much gratified in having it in our power to give our
readers another letter from our faithful friend, Major Downing.
It is peculiarly interesting to hear from him at the present time,
when the Globe maintains such a silence respecting recent
events at Washington. Indeed, if it were not for the Major, the
public would know nothing of what is going on inside the cabinet.
His communications are invaluable, because they may be
implicitly relied upon. Every body will believe the man who
sleeps in the same bed with `the Gineral.']
