Savannah Georgian. ORIGIN OF YANKEE DOODLE. A correspond mt West chester (Penn.) Republican gives the folfow ng extract from Judge Martin's History of North Carohna, to sbow r the origin of thejpopular air of Yankee Doodle. “In the attacks made upon the French posts in America, in 1775 those against Niagara and Fron tenac were made by Governor Shirley of Massachusetts, and General Johnson of New York. “ Their army during the sum mer lay op the Eastern bank of the Hudson, a little South of the Citty of Albany ; in the early part o ! June, the troops of the Eastern provinces began to pour in com pany after company rnd such as semblage of men never before thronged together on such an oc casion, unless an example may be found in the ragged regiment, of Sir John Falstaff. It would have relaxed the gravity of an anchor ite, to see the descendants of the Puritans marching through the Streets of that ancient city, and tikmg their station on the left of the British army, some with long! coats and others with no coats at all, and with colors as numerous as the ra.nbow ; some w ith tlun hair cropped like the army of Cromwell, and others with w igs, the locks of w hich lloated with grace around their shoulders.— Their march, their acoutrements, and the w hole arrangement of the troops, furnished matterot amuse ment to the British army. The music played the airs of two cen turies ago ail the to -1 ensemble , upon the whole exhibited a sight to the wondering strangers to which they had been unaccustom ed. “ Among the club of whist that belonged to the British army, there was a Doctor Bha< burg at tached to the stall’, who combined with his knowledge of surgery, the skill and talents of a musickm. To please tile new comers he composed a tune, and with much gravity recommended it to the officers as one of the most cele brated ans of martial music. The joke took, to no small amusement of ihe British. Brother Jonathan exclaimed it was nation line, und in a tew days nothing was heard in the provincial camp, but the air of Yankee Doodle. “ Little did the author of this composition then suppose that an air made lor the purpose of levity and ridicule, should be marked for such high destinies. In twenty years from that time the National march inspired the heroes of Bunker’s Hill and in less than thirty, Lord Cornwallis and his army marched into the American lines to the tune of Yankee Doodle. Health of Augusta . The city sexton reports the death 0f24 persons in that city during the month end ng Ist inst. 18 w hites and 6 blacks and colored.
