Our kind entertainer a descendant of the Washington family, his great rrandiatner Having marnea oeuie ih sister of the illustrious General, were permitted to make use of the valuable letters alluded to, which, baTing never before been published, will undoubtedly interest your readers. They all have reference to private and we select the following: 7b Otplain Qeorye Vallkx Fornax, May 3d, 17J8. Dtwr Georgo I should be glad if you would lot the inclosed robrs sale hand, as it is to thank Mr. Turner for an elegant pair of pistols and fur niture which he obliztnglT made me a present of. I do not know where to direct to him, but believe he lives somewhere on the Kappahannock, either near Leeds or above it.

He is a son ot Harry Turner, and I think married the sister of Captain Fauntleror. I would not have the letter mis carry. i i. Mrs. Washington desires, if you meet Cos Us at or beyond Baltimore, you will desire him to bring her some oranges, which it is said are in plenty at that place.

I am, yours, affectionately, G. WASHINGTON. 7b hltjor Georye Lrtris. April 9, 1787. Dear Sir Your letter of the 3 1st ult from Culpepper county, came to my bands late at night on the 5th inst, and the enclosure for your brother Fielding was sent to him early next morning.

The melancholy occasion of your writing has filled me with inexpressible concern. The debt of nature, however, sooner or later, must be paid by us all; and although the separation from our nearest relatives ia a heart-rending circumstance, reason, religion and philosophy teach us to bear it with resignation while time alone can ameliorate and soften the pangs we experience at parting. It must have been a consoling circumstance to my deceased sister that so many of her friends were about her. I And myself almost in the situation of a new beginner so mucirdoes my nouses, and everything about thmtand in need of repairs. What with Joiners, Painters, Glasiers, 1 have scarcely a room to go into at present, that is free from one, or other of them.

But the inside will sooa be done, tho' it will require a good deal of time to make good the decays which I am every dav discovering it theout-bulldings and Indosures. This leads me to ask if you know of a good House joiner (white or black) that could be hired bv the vear. or what terms. I want one who ia capable uf making a well Qoish pannel-door, aash and waizwcot; fina who could be reliod on for his sobrietv-Snd diligence. At any we should be very glad to see-j-u and Mrs.

Lewis at this place; and x'i(h best regards to you both, in which your Aunt joins. I am Dear Sir, your sincere friend, and -aSectionate Uncle, OEO. WASHINGTON, Major Geo. Lewis. Ei tract from a letter to his sister, Mrs.

Tbe term "Athena of Virginia," by which WtnoreIand county baa been distinguished, not inappropriately applied for within her borders jrere born aome of the most renowned men whose names appear on the scroll of fame. Washington, Richard Henry Lee and his three brothers Thomas, Francis and Arthur, General Henry Lee, James Monroe, and the late Jodge Bushrod Wash- Ington, were natives of Westmoreland. CoL John Washington, who came with hw brother to America ia 1657, settled on the bank of Bridge's creek, a small inlet of the Potomac, where he henceforth lired and where he died.

'He had twe sons and a daughter, and it was to the second of these sons, Lawrence Washington, then the proprietor of the Nothern Neck of Virginia, granted a tract of land at the mouth of Pope's creek. In his will which is dated March 11th, 1698, Lawrence Washington says "I give the tract of land on which I now lire," to John Washington. Besides this bequest, others were made to bis second son Auguatine, and to bis daughter Jttildrcd. John Washington, it seems, subsequently removed to Gloucester, and sold the Pope's creek estate to Augustine, the father of George. Thus we haTS traced the history of the locality down to the date of an event which had- a deeply important bearing upon the future destinies of the infant colony and the re- public When Gerre Washington was six years oi ajre, the familv removed to their Staffordshire estate, oppnsite Fredericksburg, and about this lime (though there is some uncertainty as to the exact period.) the house ia which he was born was destroyed by Cre.

There is at present on the spot a chimney, which is said to have belonged to the kitchen though it waa probably attached to a bouse subsequently built out of the old materials. Near by, and plainly risible, is what seems to be a flud op cller, with the chimney spots distinctly marked, about sixty feet a part. This is doubt-lees tbe i act place whereon stood the bouse in which George Washington was born. Wise, accompanied by a number of gentlemen, started oa horseback for the which is located in a ploughed Held, about three-Juunhs ot a mile north-east of tbe present man sion. It is on a somewhat elevsted plateau, about C.ty yards from the precipitous and crescenb ad bank of Pane's creek, which sweeDSrrwA ly around and soon empties ipfg- UTs "broad Poto mac.

The spot comiiMus magnificent and ex-. tended view of shore, and of the Potomac fcr nvA'j miles towards the Chesapeake Bay.

Tbe slab was placed there ia June 1815, by O. W. P.

Curtis, who, accompanied bv trends, went thither iirhis yatch "Lady of the Lake," and after depositing the stone, ri-taraed oa board and flred a Federal sa rate 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 tbeir mpects to the Governor and aiding him in marking the birth-place and the family vault for en. cLMwre. An aged citizen present, said that he distinctly remembered when a bouse occupied the spot where the chimney now stands, and that it was formerly used for a kitchen and laundry. The mansion, he said, stood on the site adjacent, to wkk-b allusioa has already been made.

A spontaneous growth of plants, near the chimney, rendered it probable that there was formerly a gar- dn at that point. A gentleman in the company found a piece of stonn, worn perfectly smooth on one side, partially buried in tae earth near tbe site of the old mansion, and it was tbe opinion of all present that it was a fragment of the hearth stone. This relicwas presented to Gov. Wise, who wfj deposit it. properly labelled, in the State UDrary at iuenmood.

Several persons supplied themselves wi from the black haw, wLlch grows abundai the shore of the creek, and whiJi they intend preserve as sacred mementoes. Following up the ravine in a N. N. W. direction, for a little more than a mile, tbe Governor and his attendants came to the burial ground and Tauitiawhkh are interred the remains of the father, grandfather and great-grandfather of Washington, with those of their respective families at Bridge's creek.

The brick srch of tb vault, (the sides of which have been fliled in with earth prevent depredations,) is plainly visible. N. thing remains oathe ancient enclosure, exceit vue or wo partially decayed posts. Close by the vault lays a moss-covered tomb-stone, bearing the following inscription: -Here lyeth the body of John Washington, eldest sna to Captain Lawrence Washington, who departed this life ye 10th of January, 1890, aged 10 years and six months. Als Mildred Washington, eldest daughter to Waihington, who died on ye 1st of August, 1 C99, aged 6 The stone also bears the device of a sk all and crcoa bonea.

He told them that not more than $1-500 of the appropriation would be required for tbe enclosure of the birth-place and tbe vault, and ith tbereaidu, $3,500, ke proposed to build a porter lodge, and instal therein a keeper of the grounds.

The treaty, wnen made, prevented a colision between Great Britain and the United States, and preserved that It was dictated by good sense and good feeling on both The practical difficulty between tbe two couotrie amounted to nothing.

It arises merely from the technical interpretation of the treaty. He fco'Ud see no reason for tbe abrogation, except a desire on the part of the United States to seize Central America. i Mr. Clingman said that we ought to be free from the treaty so that when we wish to, acquire that territory we may do it lawfully. Mr.

Ritchie replied that the abrogation the treaty would open up a conflict for possession of that country. lie was sorry that Mr. Clingman had -quoted the Ostend manifesto with approbation, as he looked upon it as ah evidence of covetousness and imbecility. ilr.

AWK3- AMAT1.UU TH ATRIC ALS Tfl BAJ O.UET THE (Correspondence of the N. Eipress tiv NEWBiaXj N. April 30th. I -Were you ever in this beautiful ld southern t-ity, charmingly situated at the junctiou of the Neuse and Trent rivers? Probably not, as, un til within a few days, the access to it has been by slow staging, through sandy roads a mode traveling which progress has taught us to regar. as akrreeble only in story.

But a change has con over the quiet monotony of the town. The Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad has just been completed, thus throwing open the coast to the interior loinine by iron bands the east to th west and niacins the old city of Newbern Within the reach of every southern tourist. Who would not turn for a few hours off the grand southern mail route for a glimpse of this elm-arched city We have done so. and ara so well rewarded for our journey that we would fain place such guide- posts along thb route as will tempt our northern friends to follow in our footsteps and in our enjoyments at some future day. a Nrwhorn itAeit is intereslinir apart, from its hoepitalities and elegance there stood thAt famotH ralsce," the stately residence of tbe old colonial governors so renowned for its' extravagance and its beauty.

Built under Gov.Tryon, with a most reckless expenditure, its cost was defrayed by enor mous taxes levied upon tne people iax so u'j that threats and punishments alone could en fore their navmenL and which in the end produced that nuthreak known as the Rttrulation war, tbe fnrmnner of our irest national strucrzle. All vestige of this noble palace, save iu foundation wiill- which distinctly mark its immense area, have long since been destroyed. The stable alone stands'sIe remnant of what once has been. n. ven here te marks of great elegance could be traced until within a few years, in the marble cornices and capacious stalls.

Over each manger was carv ed the name of its occupant, and "Selinv' can yet be deciphered deep cut in tbe wood, mere is a lerend, and it is well founded too, that a number of Sir Walter Raleigh's party landed upon these shores, for there ia a mention in hu journal of a Iandin made upon an arm oi tne sen wnen wiey mt with Neuse Indians." It is pleasant think that some of those gallant cavaliers real ly have trod this soli, so we will believe it tnus. Bat it is not with the olden time that we have to do, to-day not with caravel, nor cavalier, nor Indian but with heavily laden steamers, schooners and sloops, all crowded with pleasure-seeking Americans, and with over-crowded rail cars and bistlintr locomotives the present with its pro gress, not the past with its memories. A railroad celebration is always an exciting scene a crowded medley of people but this inauguration the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroadwhich place this city within a few hours of Goldsboroogh has been most peculiarly brilliant. Owing to the liberality of the various railroad rbnth friend lv and onrjosin?) In carrvinsr nassen- gers free, the number of guests cast suddenly upon this town has been unusually large. Some eleven thousand nersons have been entertained for three days with true hospitality, and we are sure but one sentiment will be lounaamong mem mat oi pcilCVI i Thursday, the 29th, was appointed for the grand! celebration.

The Kev. Dr. Hawks bimselt ana tive of Newbern bad consented to deliver an ad dress, and HenryTW. Miller, Esaf 2uleigh, was to follow him with a fpeechl A grand banquet was preparea-tlld a ball in the evening would Lcto? the fesdvites. For those guests who should arrive on Wednesday, the pretty little theatre was opened, and an admirable amateur perfor mance there given by the young gentlemen of Newbern.

The acting was remarkably good and, though we have seen llliam leu upon many a stage, we have never been better enter tained. A lounge about the city'on Thursday morning early was most amusing. We say early, for sleep was as impossible as in any garrison or beleagured town. Some seven hundred men belonging to the various military companies of the state, were en camped upon the green, and from the reveille til 1 long past midnight kept the town on the qui rive, with their fine music, marches and counter marches. What a pretty scene was that in the large Academy Green all studded with white tents? The sentries passing to and fro, the arms stacked before the tents, the men and officers lounzine upon the crass all served to make a pretty picture under the wide spreading elm.

After lingering awhile to listen to a fine polka from the Richmond Armory Band, we turned our a vr.lt H-l sLbds toward tne uanqueiune utii. im a. a. machine shon had been selected as the only build ing large enough to satisfy the hospitality of the town 'and here indeed we found a busy scene. Early as it was.

all was in active preparation for the feast Far as the eye could reach in this immense buildinr were tables, and tables, and table laden down with most substantial fooL There were, we were credibly informed, just one thousand bushels of oysters, ready cooked, or pickl ed there were loads of hams, bushels of pies, cake by tbe ovens full; breads in every form, and such a regiment of champagne and whiskey bottles as brought visions to our northern mind of very great intoxication, nui anow a ooumren croWd and its propriety, then, as we did a few 1 1 .1 hoars later. From the banquetting hall to the ballroom was a natural exchange. We found the railroad denot was being rapidly transformed into a danc in hall, and a noble one it promised to be. Workmen were busy flooring over the rails, while the broom and scrubbing brush were effacing each spot and stain. Above stairs a large table was already ba'f spread with what was to be a liberal supper, and we left, wishing the time had come to eat, dnnic and be merry.

The procession, composed of citizens, the mili tary, and a fire company Irons Wimington, form ed about noon, and escorted the speakers to the Green, where a platform was prepared. The Kev, Dr. Hauehton opened with a lone prayer. Dr. Hawks then rose, and with that stirring eloquence so well known your city, addressed tbe crowd before him.

He was followed by Henry W. Mil ler equally wall known in this State as a bril liant speaker and talented man. His speech was worthy of his reputation, and what greater praise can we offer Had we space we wouldmost hap pily give a sketch of both speeches we sincerely reere we cannot do so. It is impossible to compute the number of per sons resent oat tnev mirnt do counted hv thnu. sands and in all this vast crowd, we did not see the smallest indecorum all were gay, but not noisy, and the respect and gallantry exhibited towards the ladies was by no means the least agreeable feature of the scene.

The speaking over, the procession marched towards the banquet with good appetites, doubtlessand soon filled the large dinine balL The scene here beggars all description. Nearly three thousand persons were accommodated at the table, and as many more filled up the background. The. liberal provisions for these numenous guests provided for each one most bountifully, and the viands were all superbly cooked, the champagne and whiskey were pronounced "first-rate," and 'midst jest and laughter, the dinner passed off admirably. Again, one wondered at the decorum and so briety of the crowd.

If there was drunkenness it was of so unobtrusive a nature as to be undiscovered." But the pleasures of the day were not yet over; we were expected to "dance all night, till broad day light" so early in the evening we repaired to the ball room. Ere long the large saloon was crammed with over two thousand persons. Light heels and light hearts, fine music and a good floor, were irresistible temptations to fun and frolic Quardrilles, polkas, waltzes, and other gay dances followed in quick succession. All ranks and all sizes were mingled in gay confusion. The brilliant uniform and plain countryman danced side by side.

Beautiful women, whose witcheries have won hearts both North and South, graced the fes Charming representatives of many an aristocratic -name added brilliancy and ele gance to the fete. eyes, sweet smiles, and dear little feet surrounded us on every side. It indeed a scene never to be forgotten that gay mingle of elegance, beauty and fashion with that crowd of country people Jail well mannered, all courteous, and all sober.
