General Jackson Extract from the editorial correspondence of the Columbia Guardian,dated Wnxhaw, Lancaster District, June tUtli. While at Lancaster C. 11., I saw in the Charleston Mercuiy, copied from the Na tiona! Intelligencer, a letter fiom Mr. W, Marshall Anderson of Seven Oaks, near Circleville, Ohio, to Mr. John 11. James, in which at: account is given 6f a visit by President Monroe to his father at Soldiers Retreat in 1817, accompanied by Gen. Jackson. Mr. Anderson states that to bis ftflier's question "Gen. Jackson, where were you born ?"' be replied, "I was born, sir, at sea, otl the coast of North Caroli na, about fifteen miles from shore " 'l itis is intended as a refutation of Gen. S. II. Walkup's claim fur North Carolina as the birth place of Jackson. I am not well informed of the arguments which Gen. Waiktip uses to substantiate this claim. 1 believe that thoy are mostly traditional, and therefore uncertain. In iho life of Gen. Jackson, by Amos Kendall, a work which was discontinued after a few numbers, it is staled upon the authority of Gen. Jackson himself that he was bom at the hoqse of James Crawford in Lancaster District?subsequently known as the Wren place?about half a mile off '.lie road from Lancaster to Charlotte, and one mile west of the North Carolina line, which there runs nearly north and south. 'Ibis place, at present owned by Mrs. T. K. Cureton, lies about a mile and a half above the plantation of M. P. Crawford, Esq., in which is now included the place of Major Ciawford, brother of James Crawford. Kendall's Life contained a very correct map of the Waxhaw region of country, and these different localities are all accurately laid down in it. Old land grants and deeds show that this portion of Lancaster District was ouce included in "Anson County, Pro vince of North Carolina." It may he, and it is likely that the boundary was not de termined as early as Gen. Jackson's birth, and so a question may arise as to whether the spot of his birth was, at the time of its occurrence, in the one Sta'e or the other. It hardly ndmits of di?rute in any otbor point of view. I have been obliging Iv shown by Col. James II. Witherspoon, Commissioner in Equity for this I>istrict, several interesting letiers of Gen. Jackson, to hie father, the late Col James II. Witherspoon. From these letleis I make some extracts bearing upon the point in question. In May, 1828, Col. Wither spoon, lJr. Jones, Win. McKenna and others, invited Gen. Jackson to unite with the citizens of the District in the celebration oflhe 4th of July. In his re ply, dated Hermitage, June 2, he says, "lie pleased, gentlemen, to accept for yourselves individually, and convey to those you represent, inv gratitude for your tendor recollection of me as a citi zen of Lancaster. This obligation is hcigt oned by the consciousness on my part, that absence and time have not weaken ed the ardor of the sentiment which con secrates the memory of the place which gave me hirtli." In May 2o, 1829, lie ivrilPQ f'rivrt Waah'.nnrfnn "I - * t ? } -? V-I.U. the hope that I shall have ait opportunity of seeing again the land of my birth, hut not until the publip service can permit my absence from this place without injury. lu the mean time, sir, be assured of my great regard for you and all that concerns the prosperity of old YVaxhaw." In another letter, dated Washington, December 12, 1830. le spe iks of' not being able to visit bis "native place'' 011 his return in March following : "nothing," he" continues, "could afford me equal gratification as to visit the sacred spot that holds tin remains of father and bro thers, and which would afford me the plasure to meet with my much esteemed friend Mrs. Duniap, the companion of my youth, to whom and family present me affectionately." it may be proper to state that Mrs. Duniap was a daughter of Ma jor Robert Crawford. It will be noticed in the latest extract-that Gen. Jackson does not include his mother in speaking of the sacred spot that held the remains of those dear to him. I learn from an estimable nriiffhlinr nf mino John k'.nlar Sir ! lhat she, accompanied by Mrs. Wm. Rarton, went to Charleston to see her son Robert and Andrew, who had been im prisoned there, and had the small pox ? Mrs. Jackson died on her wav back, and Mrs. Rarton saw her buried. Gen. Jack son knew that his mother's remains were separated frim those of his father and brollies. It was a cherished wish of his to visit South Carolina, and under the guidance of Mrs. Rarton to find the place where his mother was bnried. It seems also from Mr. James1 letter, accompanying that of Mr. Anderson, that a Mr. Kenton had asserted that he had seen Gen. Jackson in Kentucky in 1779. Gen. Walkup disproves this by (be tesli I inony of living witnesses, and by account books of gentlemen in Salisbury and Cbailotte, showing dealings with Andrew Jackson between 1779 and 1783. Among lb? papers of Major Robert Crawford, kindly shown me by Hon. George McC. Witberspoon, Senator from Lancaster District, If find evidet ce that Gen. Jacksoil was in Lancaster District as late as 1787. His name is signed as one of the witnesses to a deed given by Robert Crawford, and Jane Crawford bia wife, to David Lock wood, of Charleston, for land otj the Waxbaws, 21st April, 1785, (sub f*yiently reoonveyed); and he gave him *'/ self the following receipt to Major Craw- j ford : "Received of Mr. Uol>erl Crawf>rd i a receipt for fix negroea received by iiiin from Join.

A number of interesting new advertisements appear in Ltei < issue. Messrs. Stanley and Scanlon announce another addition to their stock of Goods at Hanging Rock. The patronage which these gentlemen seem to receive is gratifying, and evinces their proficiency and acceptability as merchants We are happy to note this increased evidence of their success. Mr. M. 1). Miller offers for sale his land on the waters of Hanging Rock. This section includes some of the finest cotton producing laud in this State. Mr, Jas. Robinson, advertises his house and lot for sale. It is beautifully situated, with a comfortable dwelling and convenient arrangements. Mr. Hales advertises his Soda Fount in operation. The public, wo timagine, will not neglect so convenient n uioans of pro- ! curing a. cheap nod wholesome Summer luxury. Death of Chancellor Dargau Our Charleston and Columbia exchanges bring us tidings of lliu death of this dis. linguished man and eminent jurist, lie died in Columbia, at the residence of a relative. on the morning of the 13th in*t.? Chancellor Dargun Ins been incnpaeiatcd from attending to his official duties, since the severe attack of paralysis, which he endured several months ugo. \\ ith naturally a rirrorous constitution, his tVi, nd- ? led to hope that he would eventually recover from the serious inroads which that attack had left upon him ; hut an Allwise I'rovideuce has t?theiwi*e decreed, and South Carolina is called to mourn the loss of another of her most useful and able sons. He commenced public life at an early age : first as Commissioner in Kquity for Darlington District; next as State Senator, and in 1847 was elected by the legislature to the Chancery Bench, which position he continued to occuuy until his death. His career throughout was marked with unswerving fidelity and distinguished ability, and he was justly regarded as one of the most eminent of oi.r Chancellors. He died in the fifty-eighth year *?f his age. Prof- Ryan's Lectures In our notice of Professor Ryan's lectures in Inst issue, we stated that he would remain until Wednesday evening only ; but at the solicitations of many r. f our citizens, he consented to remain the entire week, and lectured every evening during the week, besides two free lectures which he delivered in the day?one on \\ ednesday and the other on Saturday. We spoke of Prof. Ryan's lecture on .Monday night in terms which wo designed to be complimentary, I both as regards his matter and manner, and | after henring several subsequent leetures we became more impressed with his varied and profound mental accomplishments, the boldness and grandeur of his thought.-, and the inimitable manner and polished language by which he communicates his thoughts to others. In the discussion of his grand sub- i ject, the supremacy of Mind over Matter ?the power of the will against brute force?bin genius and learning ix conspici uously revealed, and while he convinces by plain appreciable reasoning, he stnrtle* his horror* by daring flights into the realms of thouglvt and etbeiial mystery. He probe* I deeper than ordinary minds can penetrate, I or timid or)ea will dare to venture ; and | while he fearlessly expresses his own opin* | ions, he pays a proper deference to those of I others. Truth, he conceives, cnnnot suffer [ by comparison or by conflict with error, j After the lecture, his entertainments usually conclude by personating some character, either humoroua or tragic, illustrative of some principle in science, or designed to correct some of the popular prejudices and errors of the day ; so that all persons, of whatever cast of mind, cannot fail to be instructed and amused. Few there are,we apprehend, who have attended I'rof. Ryan's lectures here, but will suy that they purchased the profit and pleasure they afforded , them, cheaply fi Country Exchanges Wo propose to give in a condensed form, ! under the head of "Country Exchanges." \ an idea of the editorial spirit which presides over tne country press, with local items <fce, carefully culled from each paper. This is done occasionally by a few of our exchanges, and has met with considerable stitcess. It aflords an interesting variety to the reader, and suggests a general idea of the sentiment which governs the press in neighboring Districts. We will deal entirely in this connection, with the country press of our State and vicinity. The first that comes to hand is the Camden Journal. The Journal contains a leaI der, nearly a column in length, which discusses u prediction lately maie by the Carulinian, t?? the effect that the National nomocracy. beset as it is by foes from without and dissehtions within, must soon suejumb to the fate which has attended all similar organizations. and that it will probably breathe its last at the meeting of the Charleston Convention in 18t>0 : further, that out of the Crumbled wreck of ibe old Democracy, will spring a giant conservative party, which will successfully resist and heat hack tho factious elements which threaten the existence of the Union. The Journal subscribes to the first position, but repudiates the last, and reasons in this way : Now if the Democratic purtv. the only .\niiotial party in the country, in possession r>f tlio general government, with the immense patronage which the collection and disbursement of Highly Millions ol money [iilist give, with all the pomp ami page-inirv that potter and position confers, anil, com nosed as it is of the most adroit and practical demagogues and wire pulling politicians anywhere to be found?men who li.ive grown grey in the service of party, -(killed in cotnptoniises and party tactics, and accustomed to victory ; if the Democratic party, surrounded by such circuit! stances, cannot maintain its position, hut sickens and dies under the expanding power of sectional influence, where, we ask. is the material to come from, out of which another National party can be constructed, possessing more of the elements of success and pcrtnatii ncv. The mere cry of Union! Union !! Union!!! is all that is left, and 11 has iost its symphony. In this extremity, the Journal would have | the South look to her own security and let the Union take care of itself. The Fourth of July is to be properly celebrated in Camden. \V. I. Df.I'ass, Hsip. has been selected as Orator of the day. w e congratulate ll>?* Journal tin its large and evidently increasing advertising patronage. The Pec D'c /Icrahl ?.f tlie lltli inst. published at t'heraw*, come* to us with t!ie j sail announcement that this number will pronably be its last. The editor statu* that ho has failed to receive that encouragement which he confidently anticipated font u generous public, and that he is forced to an indefinite suspension. The Herald has been in exlsfoncfe three years ; in its prosperous days, it was a spirited and interesting paper and we regret its untimely demise. The Kcmrce (.'otiri> r, ? liieli hails from the mountainous region of Old Pickens, is ever welcome at our Sanctum. The editor never perpetrates long editorials but he is an ex cedent par igruphist and news gatherer, and his paper uniformly evinces industry,system and good taste in its management. It is of course strongly in favor of further provision from the State for the Hlue Kidgt Kail road, and regularly posts its read* rs in regard to the progress of this great enter. prise, in its last issue, we lind the follow, iny in reference iheri'lii : We state willi pleasure that satisfactory ' progress is being made with the wort at ! the point* where operation* have been con* inned. At the Ktumplinunc tunnel, during , the past month, two hundred and thirty feet J of roek have been removed ; and we regret | to state in this eooneetion that the toree j here has been materially reducid, owing to , the circumstance that the Company is with- [ out avnilablo fund*.

Were it necessary to do ho, that i the completion of this great work, heavy a* 1 it is. i* one altogether of calculation, and | that the largest and most difficult part of the tunnel lias been completed. The Itirnwlt Sen/iurl reports a cotton bloom, plucked frout^a field in Barnwell j District on the 6lh inst. The Setitinel, I however, does not think that the general I crop of the District pioinises well. The (Chester Standard of last week re ) ports a general moving of the free negroes I from ('hosier, who hail become somewhat troublesome and were in consequence nd- ' vised to seek some mora congenial quarter. | Also, that a homicide had recently occurred in the eastern portion of the District : two brothers, named Sexton, sought and nttack cd a man named Kitchens, on the premises of the latter. Kitchens was pursued to his dwelling, where he procured a double-bar-| relied gun and sho\ his assailants*killing j one of thein instantly and dangerously wounding the other. The slater has been hound in a recoguizanoe for his appearance ' at the Court of Sessions. The Edgefield Advertiser appropriates a half column of its last issue to the query : | "what are Consuls?" propounded by a cor- i respondeat. The Advertiser suttains the | Blue Kidgc Bailroad enterprise, and it indicates as follows the position of Kdgefn-ld ; on the question of further State aid : fttl I # rs s ? . i no people 01 r-ngt neiu have much chum* ! to sustuln this Railroad enterprise willi their ' loudest acclamation* ; And it afford* us much pleasure to nay in thi* connection, I that there exists good reason for thinking that our Senator, and those of our representatives who voted against the measure ' of aid nt the last Session of our legislature, will at the next Session adapt their action to the welUknown wishes or their constituents. That they voted upon grounds of conscien'.ious conviction, is not for a moment doubled by any one. Yet we he lieve it is the earnest wish of the great mass of their constituency that they chaoge that vote next winter ; and we have no doubt thev will do so promptly, if they shall themselves become convinced that such is the will of the people they represent The Cheraw Clazette states that the crops I of Chesterfield District are generally doing \ well and the plantations are free froin grass. ! We hope that the West side of Lynches J Creek is able to respond "ditto." c The Rising Sun, published at Newberry | 1 S. C., is a well conducted weekly. Its lead- j ' ing editorial of lust week is upon the sub- I jeet of "laws and Juries." The ?ditor I deprecate* the present loose administrati on of our laws in eriniiual eases. This undue ( moderation, he conceives. arises from the ( eloquence of lawyers, the negligence of | juries, the operations of a silent outside ( influence, and the clemency of Incentives ; . .....l .... i i. !... :r >l.? !..n .

A discus- j | sion is going on in the Register upon lite | subject ?>f the small pox in Winnsboro.
