Widows of So'diers, We stated a few days ago that the blanks to be used by confederate widows, ter the purpose of drawind pensions would be hei e by the 20th of this month. Now the news comes from Atlanta that they will not be printed until the tiirst of April and it will proablybe from the 0th to the 10th of the month before they reach this office. In the mean tine ihe widows can be geting their testimony ani have every thing ready when the blanks arrive. We give below detections which if followed will save much trouble. 1st. They must pro., e their marriage by three witnesses. \Ye suppose that where actual witnesses lacking, proof of the fact that they lived to gethcr as husband and wife, so reconized each other and were so leconized in the country will be sufficient. This is however our own conjecture. 2nd. They must prove by three witnesses that the husband entered the army, Bid. They must prove by three wztesses that husband was killed in battle, or died from woueds or dis¬ ease while in the service, or died alter the war was over from wounds reeieved, cr discare contracted while in the army. These dieeclions are plajn and simple and will enable euer. pen¬ sioner to get up h-r testimony and be ready to make applitauon as soon as the blanks come. There are a few eases in the country where the husband die - appeared and has never been heard from. In such cases, the fact that he has never returned is taken as proof of his death.

I A FAMOUS MYTH vVilliam PaitQrsorvs Will, AN INT ERESTING DOCUMENT Thus induced me in the year 1775 to embark all the property I then possessed in parts of two vessels and cargoes destined from Philadelphia to France, for the sole purpose of return- ing with powder and arms in one of which I embarked myself. Only one these vessels safe hack to Philadelphia where she arrived in the month of March 187/&wilb the cargo intended, and in a most critical time when it was said that George Wash¬ ington, then before Boston with the army, had not powder enough to lire a salute. On my way from Europe I stopped at the island of - EustatisF in the month of February 18^6, where 1 was pressed by some of my friends to remain and carry on busi- nesc with America, and which I was the more induced to do, on account of the “'great intcrcoime that goon took place, affording the Ameaicans the opportunity of collecting and shipping arms and am unit ion and almost everything iiecessaay for carrying on the war. I remained at St Euslatia for about eighteen months and finding that the Dutch govern• ment, (although perfectly well dis¬ pose ) w-.s not able to protect the Americans and their trade against the Bri is h. I thought it inoat advisable to remove from thence to Martinique, where I continued in business until my return to Baltimore Note 1, T he scene of my com¬ mercial business in the West Indies, centered at St Eustatia, St Mamins, Sp Pierie Myqne. Governor De Graff commanded at Ike former, firoveroov Uylgar at the second and the Ma-quis De Bailie at the latter. T! 1 3i- To all, >* oec dead but it is due to 1 heir memories to ohsuve r TtuTr one and all contributed g'-cacly m promaling ihe interest of America in affording eveay facility in th ir pow¬ er to the Americans who lived under their goveruments. Govern it De* Graff, in particular was oaUcd home to Holland to answer for the partiali¬ ty shown the Americans. Having had some valuable" friends 1 5.ri-.i connections both in Europe and America, I established myself with great advantage at. Fustaxia/wEere 1 soon made what was then consider¬ ed a fortune, say s&fbtfty to eighty thousand debars. But as the trade with America was attended with great haz rd and no insurance oould bo effected, I lost by British captures and sea losses in a little more than one month nearly half I was worth. This of course gate me considerable concern and brought me to the de¬ termination that if I should live to reach America [being then ii\ bad health} that I would certainly realize one half at least of what I nugbl pos¬ sess, and spoit with the other half in co nineree t as a prudent gsmbler might do in games of chance. For I did and sti l do think commerce in the shipping line as a desperate and hazardous game of chanc e. I arriv- cd in BaltimorerffTtEe month of July 2 11^78 and brought with me in fast sailing \ essels, cash and merchandise more than a hundred thousand doL iars value, rat. d at the standard val? uc of gold and silver, for continental paper money was then the only cur¬ rency iu circulation and was no^ a * plication of four for one, at which late I sold so uegoid brought m with me from the West Indies; th« tJV thing I thought of after iuy arrival, was to put my former resolution inio practice by investing one half of the proceeds of my property in ieal es¬ tate.
