Philio Fre. Rom, of Now Jersey, was our principa: song w iter, and ome of bis effusions are much avove medigcrity. At evory favorable opportun ty bis Pegasus would rear and -kick at tho invaders of bis coun'ry, and the people looked ov with admiration. During oar orief difficulies wih France, when several engagements tcok plice between her ships aod ours, Freaeeu agsin mounted hig nag—to ‘ase an appropria e but incorrect figure—caving Bridlec in his struggling muse with paia, Theat longed to laucoh into « bolder straia. ‘His works were quite numorous, and have gone through eovoral oditinns. He songs tn honor of the victories of Paul Jones and his satires of the Kaglish miotstry wore very popuiar. Ho lived long euough to commemorate some of our victories in the war of 1812 The influence of his writings was ‘eit throughout the Revo'utionary army, and inspirea the yeomanry of the country ia moments when they were giving way to despondercy. ‘the fa mous Joel Berlow signskzed faimeeif occasioni'!y o¢ patriouc pootical eff.sions, apd he it was who said that ‘one good song vas worth @aozen proclamations.” Col.

Anumber offugitive pieces ia preserved which bad @ gront run daring the Revolution, geome of whic webave beard sung wis great gusto by curious amateurs. Bar- gyre’s defeat, and the sad doings of the British in North Amerikay wore favorite typ'ca with our patriotic bards, One famout song was the work of Peter Si Joon, » s2hool- master of Norwalk, Connecticut, extended to thirty-seven doubie verses, and was the glory of the “Contimentalers.”’ ‘The firet vorse was as follows: — While [relate my story Americros give enr; ting KeIry enali hear, Vi give a true relation; Attend to wa I aay, Concerciog the taratica Jo North america. Tom Paine siso let cif some very patriotic effusions ia rhyme, the most admirec of which is the “ Liberty Treo."” Within a fow years pest there has arisen a species of ‘balad which has had the most wonderful success, is po- culiar to this country, end is te own type. We mean the negro seng, which has become a favorite with the public, ‘end has led w tbe production cf a ne@ styie of musical composition. Oar colored population of the plantation: —a woll fed merry race—bave been long noted for their foad- ness for tae banjo, a simple iostrameat of so few strings ‘aa to be almont classics), and im the sciailoess of {ts scale resembling the eariy score of Scot’and, from which the fourths and sevenths were omitted. Some of their refrains aro ful of besuty and pathos, and have been turped to great account by those people wao have blacked their faces, sseumed the gard and chaunt the airs uf their colored origals. A tand of these minstrels ts uow re- ceiving the greatest applause in Loudon, drawing crowded audience: of the most fashiopadl« and fute!lligeat classes ‘The streo: ballads of our own city, most of them of an Ethiopian tinge, bave become a curiosity. A few years ago the principal publi her commenced pricting ana vend- ng thom with « capital of ive dollars, and be has now a large and profitable basigess. He bas published six han dred and fifty differeot kinds, and finds a sale for them all. Not only are they purchased by the boys of the city, Dut they are sold throughout the United S:ates and tas Canadas. And more than this,a large quantty has been sold in Eagiand by @ pevipatetic wno has gone into the Dusiness there. Orders come in to the publisher from the country for supplies with as much regularity and cor- tainty as the mails themselves, The MS3. are generally donations from ambitious authors who are but too happy to seo thoir rhymes in print, Cut of the etx hundred and firty pablisbed, but ope gong has been paid for by this pub- lisher, and thi was to an indigoant author of ome of the Dalleds about John Dean. He was appeased by the prompt payment of five dollars. To gain an idea of thelr character we must make occa sional quotations ; since, to use the words of « jadicious critic, they are ‘objects of cariosiiy, on account of the trelgbt they afford of the m noers and modes of thiak- ing’ of certain clarses in our own times; while the ‘occa. sional strodes of Nature with which they abouad, and the artiess simplicity and strength of the language’ which they display are sometimes admirable. Among the principal sungs of « sentimental character ‘are those from the pen of Stephen C Foster, commoncod te the public highly popular author.” The pub- liaber aesures us it is not uncommon to run off editions of ten thousand each for some cf his most taking produc tons. Our readers have doubtless beard the barefooted boy musicians of the town singing, from door to door, the Dallad of ‘Willie we have missed you,” the music of which ie quite touching, aad is considered worthy of a place on the shelves of Firth, Pond & Os. They may judge of its morita from the following extract — Ob! Wilhe, ia tt vou dear, sa’e, safe at home? ‘They did not tell me true, dear, they said you would not ‘come. you at the and it mate my heart rejoloe: For [otaow tat welcome fotaop, ha ot Tamil Making munis 0? my oer, in the lonely midnight gloom. Ob! Willie, wo have wee you, ‘wetewens, ‘The other verses artiossly pourtray the nightly watohing for Willie’s retarn, the sitting up of the expectant Little ones, gradually overcome by sieep near the blazing fire,and feeliogly express the deep sadness of waiting ‘and watching 60 long for his return. Another of these ballads, calied the “Three Grains of Corn,’ describing the pangs of starvation suffered by a chil’ who calls on ite mother, siso famishing, for the smaii sustenance of the ‘three grains, is addressed strongly to tho sympathy of the ‘Duyors of the street ballad: — Gua grains of corn, mother, only three grains corn: ‘A will keep the little life I have till the coming of ihe morn. "m 4) of by and cold, mother, dying o° hunger Pm 76 cs eete ul aaee ae ‘In the remaining verses we are advised that ‘The Queen bas lands and gold, mother— quite in the style of the old Fuglish complaints, and that ‘The men of ‘care not, mother—the great men and the high, iain, Suge of Frin's isle, whether they live ‘This ballad takes greatly with the frish, Another of ‘theee sentimental songs, sung by those clever musicians, the Buckleys, has been resetved with great favor, called « Fond Hearts at Home,” ef which the rhyme is quite respectable and the masic exceedingly eweet. To this class belongs the equally popular song of ‘Old Dog Tray.” Numerous patriotic songs are found im this collection, the bast of them—the oslebrated “Star Spangled Banner,” of Mr. Key®, of Raltmore—never sung in public without the utmost applause, It is said this ie @ solitary effort of this gentleman's muse, inapired for once only by the bombardment of Fort Moflenry, at Baltimore. It is laurel ‘enough, however and will endure while there is a shot im onr locker. ‘Uncle Sam’s Farm” ie specimen of the exaggerated focling which i@ #0 common and marked ‘among us whenever we begin to ta'k about our country :— Of all the mighty sations in the cast or {n the Cal Oe Pane Teeo ee ta the greateg, the NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, AUGUST 22, 1858.
