VOL. XXXIT.
MACON, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 18. 1858.
NO. 34.
TIic Birth Place of Wnsliimfton.
A correspondent of the Richmond Diiipatcli
furnishes that paper with an interesting report
of Gov. Wise’s recent visit to the Wakefield
Estate, Westmoreland County, Virginia, the
liirth-placo of Washington, for the purpose of
making arrangements to enclose the Birth place
and family vault, reserved to the State, in 1831,
by the last Washington proprietor of the ground,
ou condition that she should permanently en
close them by an iron fence, &c. For this pur
pose the last Legislature of Virginia made an
appropriation of $5000. We extract the sub
joined from tho correspondence referred to :
The term, “Athens of Virginia,” by which
West inoreland county has been sometimes
distinguished, is not inappropriately applied;
for within her borders were born some of the
most renowned men whose names appear on
tho scroll of fume. Washington, Richard
Henry Lee and his three brothers, Thomas,
Francis and Arthur, Hcncral Henry Lee.
Jnines Monroe, and the late Judge Buabrod
Washington, were natives of Westmoreland.
After n charming ride the party arrived at
Wake field and met with a cordial reception
from John E. Wilson, Esq., the present pro
prietor of tho estate.—Before proccedingfurth
,-r. it is necessary to refer to tho genealogy of
die Washington family, in order that the ren
der may fully comprehend the situation of this
sacred spot.
Col. John Washington, who came with his
brother to America, in 1(157, settled on the bank
of Bridge’s creek, asma'l inlet of the Potomac,
where ho thence forth lived and where ho died.
He had two sons and a daughter, and it wns to
tho second of these sons, Lawrence Washing
ton, that the proprietor of the Northern Neck
of Virginia granted a tract of land at the mouth
of Pope’s creek. In his will, which is dated
March J1 tb, 1G98, Lawrence Washington nays
—••1 give the tract of land on which I now live,”
to Jclm Washington. Besides this bequest,
others were made to his second son Augustine,
aud to his daughter Mildred. John Washing-
ton.it seems,subsequently removed to Glouces
ter and sold the Pope’s creek estate to Augus
tine. the father of George Thus we Imre traced
the history of the locality down to the date of
an event which had a deeply important bearing
upon thefuturc destinies of theinfant colony
ami the republic.
When George Washington was six years of
age. the family removed to their Staffordshire
r.-tute opposite Fredericksburg, and about this
time (though there is some uncertainty as to
the exact period,) the house in which he was
born was destroyed by fire. There is at pres
ent on the spot a chimney, which is said to have
belonged to the kitchen, though it was proba
bly attached to a house subsequently built out
of the old materials. Near by, and plainly
visible, is what seems to be a filled up cellar,
with the chimney spots distinctly marked,anout
sixty feet apart. This is doubtless the exact
place whereon stood the house in which George
Washington was born.
Wo may now return to tho party whom we
left at Mr. Wilson’s residence. After an hour
passed in agreeable conversation, Gov. Wise,
accompanied Ly n number of gentlemen, star
ted on horec-back for the “birth place,” which
is located in n ploughed field, about three
fourths of u mile north east of the present man
sion. It is on a somewhat elevated plateau,
about fifty yards from the preciptous and cres-
ccnt-slmped bank of Pope s creek, whichsweeps
gracefully around and soon empties into the
broad Potomac. The spot commands a mag
nificent and extended view of the Maryland
shore, and of the Potomac for many miles to
wards the Chesapeake Bay.
Close by tho cniinney of which we have be
fore spoken, is a luxuriant growth of figs, the

would be required for the enclosure of the birth
place and the vault, and with the residue $2-
500, he proposed tobuild a porter’s lodge, and
instal therein a keeper of the grounds. But
he has a more extensive and enlarged plan. The
establishment of an Agricultural School was a
favorite scheme with him, and he had vainly
presented Ins views on that subjeet to the Leg
islature. The people of Westmoreland had
now an opportunity of securing the establish
ment of such a school, and it was his arden-
desire that one should be established at Waket
field, the birth-place of Washington. He
would himself head the subscription, and he
urged the gentlemen present to reflect serious
ly upon the project, and take hold of it in earn
est.
The conversation also turned upon agricul
tural matters generally, and the Governor
presented mauy theories and methods of im
proved farming which completely absorbed the
attention of the company. In short, the Gov
ernor has created a favorable impression upon
the minds of the people here, who freely con
fess that they have, with the most bountiful gifts
of nature all around them, long remained in an
almost lethargic condition.
Mr. Wilson entertained his visitors to-day
with a sumptuous banquet, composed of the
richest luxuries afforded by the land and wa
ter, served up in tho true Virginia mode. A
desert of refreshing ices and cokes completed
the feast, which was from first to last seasoned
with sallies of wit and pleasant repartee.
Wakefield was sold in 1813 by Col. Geo.
C. Washington, (who derived it from his father,
Wm. Augustine Washington,) to John Gray
of Stafford. John Gray afterwards sold it to
Daniel Payne, whose executors sold it to John
F. Wilson, father of the present proprietor.
This gentleman is a connection of the Wash
ington family by marriage, his wife being a
Harriot having little or no fortune of her own, has
no right to expect a great one in the man she marries
—but it is desirable she should marry a gentleman ;
—one who is well connected, and can support her
decently, in the line she always moved: otherwise
she would not find matrimony, with a large family
and little means, so eligible as she may have con
ceived it to be.

Affectionate uncle,
G. Washington,
This letter will be accompanied by one to my sis
ter, which I pray you to receive from the Post Office
and send to her.
It may gratify our readers, especially the
fairer portion of them, to learn that MissHar-
riot was united to the man of her choice. They
settled, afterwards, we believe, in Kanawha
county, and a son, Mr. Andrew Parks, has
creditably served in the Legislature of Vir
ginia.
A Curious Document.
Washington, as everybody knows, was very
methodical; and he was particular to have
matters about which a dispute might arise
“ put into writing.” The article below is copi
ed from one of his “papers,” and is both char
acteristic and amusing. It is an agreement
with his gardener, who, it appears, wqs in the
habit of getting “tight.”
“ Articles of agreement made this twelfth
day of April, Anno Domini, one thousand sev-
Tlie Battle of JLexiugton
Lately, before the N. Y. Historical Society,
Mr. Bancroft read a paper upon the “ Battle
of Lexington,” from which we extract the fol
lowing ;
On the afternoon of the day on which the
Provincial Congress of Massachusetts adjpurn-
ed. Gage took the light infantry and grenadiers
off duty, and secretly prepared an expedition
to destroy the colonics’ stores at Concord.—
But the attempt had for several weeks been
expected ; a strict watch had been kept and
signals were concerted to announce the first
movement of troops for the country. Samuel
Adams and Hancock, who had not yet left
Lexington for Philadelphia, received a timely
message from Warren, and, in consequence,
the Committee of Safety removed a part of
the public stores and secreted the cannon.—
On Tuesday, the IGtb, ten or more sergeants
in disguised themselves through Cambridge
and further West to intercept all communi
cation. In the. following night the grenadiers
and light infantry, not less than eight hun-
trod was the altar of freedom, and they were
to furnish its victims. The British van, hear
ing the drum and the alarm guns, halted to
load; the remaining companies came up, and
at half an hour before sunrise the advance
party hurried forward at doable quick time,
almost upon a run, closely followed by the
grenadiers, Pitcairn rode in front and when
within five or six rods of the Minute Men, cried
out—“ Disperse, ye villains, ye rebels, dis
perse; lay down yoararms; why don’t you
lay down your arms aud disperse ?" The
main part of the countrymen stood motionless
in the ranks, witnesses against aggression;
too few to resist, too brave to fly. At this Pit
cairn discharged a pistol, and with aloud voice
cried “Fire.” The order was instantly follow
ed, first by a few guns, which did no execution,
aud then by a heavy, close and deadly dis
charge of musketry. In the disparity of num
bers the common was a field of murder, not of
battle; Parker, therefore, ordered his men to
disperse. Then, and not till then, did a few
of them, on their own impulse, return the Brit-
ish fire. These random shots of fugitives or

About sundown, the pleasant company sep
arated, and Gov. Wise returned to Claymont,
the residence of George W. Lewis, Esq. Mr.
Lewis is one of the fittest specimens of the Vir
ginia gentleman we ever met with, His home
is delightful, and evidences of refined taste
meet the eye, on every side. We may apply
to this household the lines of Thomson :
“An elegant, sufficiency, content,
Ketreatment, rural quiet, friendship, books,
Eaae and alternate labor, useful life.
Progressive virtue and approving Heaven.”
It is understood tbat the Governor will dine
at this place to-morrow, and on Friday at Dr.
Wirt’s an elegant mansion not far distant.
Meantime be will have another interview with
Mr. Wilson, relative to the transfer of the
birth-place and the burial ground to the moth
er State, the result of which we will give in a
subsequent letter.
Doubtless, many of your readers are aware
that George, W. Bassett, Esq., of Farming-
ton, Hanover county, who married a grand
niece of Washington, has in his possession tbe
old family Bible of the Washington family,
We may appropriately copy here the following
record of the birth of Washington, the original
of which is supposed to be in the hand writing
of his mother:
“George Washington, son to Augustine, and Mary
his wife, was born ye 22d day of February, 1732,
about 10 in tbe morning, and was baptized tho 3d
of April following—Mr. Beverly Whiting and Chris
topher Brooks, Godfathers,and Mrs. Mildred Grego
ry, Godmother.”

in the perusal of several autograph letters from
General Washington, which Mr. Lewis has

A Quaker ou Hie Revival.
The New York Evening Post has the following
communication:
Friend Editor.—I observe in thy paper of yes
terday a notice of the manner, in some respects, in
which the “revival” is conducted in this city.—
Thou sayest that the “Young Men’s Christian Asi-o-
ciation” is sending round persons to the hou.-es of
citizens indiscriminately, and taking a kind of cen
sus of families. I was not aware of this being a-
dopted as a system, but, from a circumstance which
I am about tb narrate, I judge that thou art proba
bly correct.
A few evenings since, about nine o'clock, my
wife and daughters were seated in the parlor, when
two young women were let in by the servant. As
nearly as their recollection serves, the following
conversation took place:
Youmj ITmuh.—We arc sent by the Young
Men’s Christian Association, to ask what church you
belong to.
J/y Wife.—We do not attend any church.
Young Women.—IIow many children have you
in the family ?
My Wife.—Three.
Young Women.—What are their ages?
My Wife.—From sixteen to twenty-two.
Young Women.—Will you not attend tie Bet;
Mr. II’s. prayer meeting?
My Wife.—We are friends. We have nothing
to do with churches and prayer meetings a ad thy
reverends. You are comely young women, and I
think it is improper for you to be out alone this
time of night. I advise you to go home, and, also,
to tell the young men of that Christian Association
that it is improper for them to send girls of your
age into the street after night without suitable pro
tection.
I think my wife gave those young women good
advice. But let me inquire, friend Editor, wheth
er thou thinks it seemly for any association to send
missionaries into private families uncalled, to at
tempt the inculcation of their doctrines ? I desire
to be preserved in a patient and liberal spirit to
wards the sects, but I am better content to go my
own way than theirs. Suppose I shouldgo orsend
unto the families of the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation and invite them and the children to come
to a Friend’s meeting, dost thou not think they
would take it as an offence to good breeding?
I cannot approve of these outward “revivals”
and “prayer meetings.” They are not consistent
with the instructions of the Master who recommend
ed the closet and not the market-house as the pro
per place of prayer.
Let me entreat all thinking men not to give
way to outward and hasty excitement, but to seek
inward peace; and this 13 to be done only by self-
examination and by close attention to that law of
truth in tbe soul to which no man is a stranger.

found a granite slab, broken, in three pieces,
inscribed—“Here on the 11th of February, 17-
32, George Washington teas born,” Tim slab
was placed there in Jane, 1815, by G. W. P.
Custis, who, accompanied by friends, went
thither in his yacht “Lady of the Lake,” aud
after depositing the stone, returned.on board
and fired a Federal salute from a swivel which
they had obtained for the purpose.
A considerable number of citizens assembled
at the place to-day, for the purpose of paying
their respects to the Governor and aiding
him in making the birth-place and the family
vault for enclosure. The Governor rode about
the ground and along the shore of Pope’s
creek, in order to obtain an aceurato idea of
the locality, frequently consulting with his com
panions upon the plan ho proposed to dc-
vclope.
Au aged citizen present, said that he distinct
ly rememberedwhen a house occupied the spot
where the chimney now stands, and that it was
formerly used for a kitchen and laundry. The
mansion, lie said, stood on the site adjacent, to
which allusion bus already been made- _ A
rpontuneons growth of plants, near the chim
ney, renders it probable that there was former
ly a garden at that point. A gentleman in the
company found a piece of stone, worn perfect
ly smooth on one side, partially buried in the
earth near tbe site of the old mansion, and it
was the opinion of all present that it was a frag
ment of the hearih stone. This relic was pres
ented to Gov. Wise, who will deposit it, prop
erly labelled, in the Library at Richmond.
While sojourning at the birth place, the
party experienced some annoyance from a
>hower of rain, which terminated the visit at
this interesting spot. Several persons supplied
themselves with canes from the black haw, which
grows abundantly on the shore of the creek and
which they intend to preserve as sacred me
mentos.
Following up the ravine in a N. N. W. di
rection, for a little more than a mile, the Gov
ernor and his attendants came to the burial
{.'round and vault in which arc interred the re
mains of ,he father, grand father and great
grand father of Washington, with those of
their respective families, at Bridge’s creek.
The brick arch of the vault (the sides of which
have been filled in with earth to prevent de
predations,) is plainly visible. Nothing re
mains of tho ancient enclosure, except one or
two partially decayed postn. Close by the vault
lay s a moss-covered tomb-stone, bearing the
following inscription:
"Here tyetb iho body of John TYsahington, oldest
•.•a to Captain Lawrence Washington, wbo departed
ibis fifs y 0 ioui of January, 169p, aged 10 years and
d* month*. , ,,
, “Also Mildred Washington, eldest daughter to said
wuhiogton, who died on ye 1st of August, I69fi, aged
" months.” '
The stone also bears the: device of a skull
•ad cross bones, and the characters are cut in
•he angular style of the ancestral grave stones
usually foued in Virginia.
Some other fragments were found scattered i
here and there, one of which bore a device
which none of the company were able to inter
pret. It may have beentbe coat of arms of
u uc of tho Washingtons. It is believed that
mlicr slabs and inscription scan be found by
clearing away the mold which lias been accuin-
ulatiog there for generations.
, After viewing the consecrated, though neg-
■reted spot, Gov. Wise, accompanied by sev-
**“ gentlemen, returned to Mr. Wilson’s man-
Hun. Here seated around an old Virginia log

I should be glad if you would let the inclosed go

gingly made me a present of. I do not know where
to direct to him, but believe he lives somewhere on
Rappahannock, either near Leeds or above it. He
is the son of Harrv Turner, aid I think married the
aister of Captain Fauntleroy. I would not have the
better miscarry.

Dear Sir Your letter of the 31st ult, from Cul
peper county, came to my bands late at night on the
3th test, and the enclosure for your brother Fielding
was sent to him early next morning.
The melancholy occasion of yonr writing has filled
me with inexpressible concern. The debt of natnre,
however, sooner or later, must be paid by us all; and
although the separation from our nearest relatives is
a heart-rending circumstance, reason, religion and
philosophy,teach ns to bear it with resignation; while
time alone can ameliorate and soften the pangs we
experience at parting.
It must have been a consoling circnmstanoe to my
deceased sister,tbat so many of her friends were about
her.
I find myself slmoft in the situation of a new be
ginner ; so much does my houses and every thing
about them stand in need ol repairs. What with

other of them. But the inside will so~n be done tho’
it wilt require it good deal of time to make good lbe
decays which I am every day discovering in the out
buildings nnd enclosures.
This leads me to ask if you know of a good house
joiner, (white or black) that could be hired by tbe
year, or month, and what terms. I want one who is
capable of making a well finished pannel-door, sash

TurKey Fattening.
Cobbet says: “As to fattening turkeys, the
best way is never let them get poor. Barley meal
al mixed with skimmed milk and given to them
fresh, will make them fat a short time. Boiled
potatoes mixed with Indian meal will furnish
a change of sweetfood which they should be al
lowed to eat as much as they can. As with
others, the food of this bird mast be kept clean,
and the utmost care taken not to give them on
the morrow the mixture of the preceding day;
because, if the weather is warm, it will sour,
which might displease them.” Much has been
published of late in our agricultural journals
in relation to the alimentary properties of char
coal. It has been repeatedly asserted that do
mestic fowls may be fattened on it without any
other food, and that, too, in a shorter time than
on the most nutritive grains. “I have recent
ly made an experiment,” says a writer for a
Philadelphia paper’ “and must say that the re
sult surprised me, as I had always been rather
skeptical. Four turkeys were confined in a
pen and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and oats.
Four others, of the same brood, were also at
the same time confined in another pen and fed
on the same articles, but with one pint of very
finely pulverized charcoal mixed with their
food—mixed meal and boiled potatoes. They
had also a plentiful supply of broken charcoal
in their pen. The eight were killed on the same
day, and there was a difference of one and a
half pounds each in favor of the fowls which
had been supplied with charcoal, they being
much the fattest, and the meat greatly superi
or in point of tenderness and flavor.”
Tlie Emperor Napoleon.
The Philadelphia Press commences an edi
torial article with the following:
Louis Napoleon has accomplished another of
those remarkable feats, which, when party
politics have sunk into the abyss of the past,
must undoubtedly gain him enormous credit
with posterity. He has done more for Paris,
in less than six years of his reign, than his
great uncle, Napoleon I, accomplished during
his twenty years of sovereignty. It was the
boast of Augustus that he had found Rome
made of brick, and that he had rebuilt it with
marble. Not quite so extensive a boast as this
can be setup for Louis Napoleon, but when we
consider liow he has completed the Rue Rivoli
into one of the most magnificent streets in the
world—how he has finished tho Louvre, extend
ing it into a junction with the Tuileries—how
he has removed from the front of the Palais
Royal a nest of infamous houses, infested by
bravos and thieves, and their no less wretched
female companions—how he has made the Ho
tel de Cluuey into one of the finest Museums
of National Anti quities to be found in any
country ; and now, when he has thrown open
the new street of magnificent palaces, to which
(rather too vain-gloriously wc submit) he lias
given the name of the Boulevard de Sebasto
pol, it must bo confessed that this man—call
him assassin, bravo, usurper, tyrant, or what
you will—has really accomplished much for
fulfilling his uncle’s magnificent boast that he
would make Paris the miniature metropolis of
Europe.

£iFect of tlie Kansas Bill.
Senator Collamek, of Vermont, aFreesoil-
er, thus defines the object aud effect of the bill
of the Conference Committee for the admis
sion of Kansas recently passed by Congress.
It is nearly the same view as adopted by Sen
ator Hunter, whoso remarks will be found in
to-day’s paper:
“We have complained a great deal that the Le-
compton constiti tion was submitted to the people in
regard to the question of slavery, in a certain manner,
which was unfair, deceptive and dealing in duplici
ty. That submission was this: ‘You may vote for
the constitution with slavery, or forthe constitution
without slavery; but you have to vote for the con
stitution at any rate, which has slavery in it in cither
case.’ Now, ho .v is it here ! We will put to you the
question, ‘Will you vote for these land grants 7 But
now remember, if you rote forthe land grants you arc
to hare this stare constitution, and if you vote against
the land grants you are to have slavery in your Terri-
ry without a con station.' That is, you are to have a
constitution with slavery, or slavery, without a con
stitution, but slavery at any rate. That seems to me
to be the way in which the question is put to them;
because you hold that, under the Dred Scott de
cision, it is a slaveholding Territory, and, therefore
if the people vote for these laud grants, they are to
take a slaveholding State constitution, and if they
vote against them, they are to endure slavery under
a territorial form of government. That is the alter
native.”
