WASHINGTON WAS BOHN. Our pilot approached the Westmoreland shore cautiously, as our vessel drew nearly eight feet waUr, and the pilot was but indifferently acquainted with so unfrequented a navigation. We anchored at soma disfnnm from the land, and taking to our boats, we soon reached the mouth of Pope's or Brydire's Creek, and proceeding upwards we fell in with McKen/.io Beverly, Esq., and several gentlemen on a fishing party, and also with the overseer of the property that formed tho object of our visit. We were kindly received by these individuals, and escorted to the spot wnere a Jew staHerecl bricks alone | marked the birth place of the chief. Desirous of making the ceremonial of laying the stone as imposing as circumstances would permit, we enveloped it in the Star Spangled Ban* ner of our country, and it was borne to its resting place in the arms of the descendants of four revolutionary patriots and soldiers?Samuel Lewis, son of Geo. Lewis; a captain in Baylor's regiment of horse, and nephew of Washington; Wm. Grymes the son of Benjamin Grymes, a gal I tint and distinguished officer in the i/.fe Guard; the captain of the vessel, the son of a brave soldier wounded in the battle of Guilford; and Geo. W. P. Custis, the son of John Parke Custis, aid-dc-camp to the commander-inchief before Cambridge and Yorktown. Wc gathered together the bricks , of the ancient chimney that once' i 4t- ? ? ? i iuiiuou mo n?ttnii uroiiiui wnicil Washington in his infancy had played, and constructed a rude kind of pedestal, 011 which we reverently phiced thefirxt *tone, commending it to the respect and protection of the American people in general, and the citizens of Westmoreland in particular. Bidding adieu to those who had re ceived us so kindly, we re-embarked and hoisted our colors, and being provided with a piece of cannon suitable ammunition, we fired a salute, awakening the echoes that lmd slept for ages around the hallowed spot; and while the smoke of our tribute to the birth-place of the Pater pairicR still lingered on the boson of tno Po? ? - ? - r kuumui ?vu spruuu our sans 10 & IRvoring breeze and speeded joyously to our homes.

Qualities were ? , ft* e> J&t S n*M nto the l>ody of the people: and long before the American revolution, many noble examples of lofty character were exhibited in the history of the Slate. It was, however, at the period of J the American revolution, that the attention of the world was fastened ! particularly upon the part she played. ! South Carolina was the field of one j of the fiercest and best fought strugI gles of that bloody era. We need scarcely allude to what took place there, for the events are engraved so deeply on the pillars of the republic, that llicv can never he blotted out. They are fresh in the recollections of the present generation, for ihey have served to embellish the brightest pages of our history. Sumter, Marion, Moultrie, and a host of others, are names which will never die.

But to come to our own immediate times; we recall with great vividness, the moment our eye turns in lhat direction, Hayne, McDuffie, Calhoun, Hammond, and others, illustrious in eloquence, in legislation and statesmanship. We remember Thomas (irimke, Hugh S. Lecare, anil others of the like stamp. And particularly, in literary aspects, have we much cause for admiration; for the contributions that have been made by the South Carolinians to the literature of this country, have exceeded that of any other, nnd, wo had almost said, all the Southern States. The speeches of Mr. Calhoun will live as loryj as the English | <!xi5is. j ney are models of pure, fervid, classical eloquence, which reminds us of 1 lie liest displays ol I he forensic ages of Greece.?
