I tec I I M? . 't SOME SLIGHT REMINISCENCES OF JOHN CALIIOUN. While I was sitting alone iu the parlo,- ' of a Washiugtou Hotel, one morning early in Dec. IS 10, several geutleuicn entered, busily'cugaged in talking as they walked slowly forward. The most prominent figure in the group, one upon w.ioni the regards of the others seeuied to centre, was a pcr~ son of medium height, of thin, rather an gular form, with a slight stoop of the shoulder i. II is head was covered with a mass of white hair, brushed squarely back from the temples, aud above a low broad (orehead. Tho complexion was of the fairness which indicates a sedentary life, the tiosc and cliiu were prouiiucnt and well dciiued, the mouth rather wide with rather thin lips, expressing great suavity and kindliness^ which is not often the case with a mouth of that type. The eyebrows, which were rather heavy and nearly in a straight line, rose slightly at the outer end, aud shaded a pair of eyes, which were singularly clear and brilliant, although the owner was evidently about three score and ten years ofage. The eys alone would have made the face remarkable, in a man of his age, so bright and clear were they, so (lashing with quick, keen intelligence. lie was dressed in a full suit of spotless black; the uecktie which was of heavy black silk, ^beiug, ui-aiij uuu in a (join[Kiel. uow. .v small por_ tiou ?f mowy linen appeared at the bosoiii, at the wrists, and in a high bread sharp-pointed standing collar, such as was then worn. His manner, though suave, aud polished, was simple and unpretending, and tempered with a (juiet dignity. Such was John (J. Calhoun, in personal appearance, as L baw him at the beginning of the last session of Congress in which he ever sat. Heforo the close of the session his work ou earth was iono. Heing introduced to hiui, ho spoke to tnc a few polite words of greeting, and soon after the group broke up. A few days later we found ourselves domiciled for the winter, in the old Capitol building, (which was then kept as a boarding house,) with Mr. Calhoun and other Senators aud Representatives from the South. I ( nin<? down to hrnnl-C???t tV - ?. *'. i.t ..ni..g after our domestication in the old Capitol and being diffident, I hid myself in one of the deep windows of the parlor, behind the heavy red damask curtains, intending there to await tho summons to breakfast. Xot far off Mr. Calhoun sat, conversing with one or two other gentlemen. When the dining room doors were thrown open and breakfast was announced, uiu li to my surprise, never having fancied that so great a man could see so insignificant au individual as myself, Mr. Calhoun came to the window and pushing the curtains aside said) come Miss "let us go to breakfast." He had evidently noted the timidity which had induced the retreat behind the red window* curtains, and kindly came to my reliefTaking mo into the dining-room, lie seated | mo at the table, near a large stove, and say* 1 : i< i. i i -t H i : mg, you uau uoucr bit mere an tne win* tor, tin? seat is warm ami comfortable," ho sat down beside uie, and talked quietly during the meal, putting me com* pletely at my ease. Years after, in recalls ing this little incident, I could not but rccogs nizc the delicate consideration for the feelings of all around him, and the inate kinds ncsB of heart evinced by this otherwise insignificant act. Day after day senators and rcpresr.tativcs gathered round Mr Calhoun in earnest consultation. At this titno party feeling ran high, between "Free Sutlers." and "i'ro-Sla* very" men. A fierce struggle raged through* out tlu session, between these two great parties, and the groups who gathered round Mr. Calhoun, many of them men of ability, listened to his conversation with an air ?f i rapt and reverent attention, such as is rare* ly accorded by men to one of their fellows. Mr. Calhoun, on his part, accorded to all j in return, a gentle, dignified Courtesy, uio , I unrked by a shade of arrogance or asstimpj lion. And while talking with the greatest earnestness, his manner and tones were always quiet and subdued ; though his utterance and gestures were somewhat quick | and energetic, and his bright, keen clear | I At'.lC / 11< rIt t I I* f II - ' 4 x i i <(,< ? unimi, 11 l recollect anglll,J ] gave emphasis Id all ho said as they II isiiod in turn upon his auditors. Only ono incident occurred in connection j with Mr. t'alhoun, during the whole winter, which had an amusing side to it. A young M. I?. from N. ('. came to stay a short whilo in the house, and delighted at having an opportunity of talking to the great Southerner and at samo tiiuc proving his own cs?pacity to cope in conversation with so great an intellect, lie seated himself in the pars lor one evening on an ottoman, by Mr. t Calhoun, and lectured hiiu tor half au hour upon some .subject which seemed to interest the young doc'or, prodigiously. Thumps ing his fist vigorously, now and then, into ih?* palm of his hand, rai-ing and sli living i his forefinger and slapping his leg. we could . c< hear across the rooui, "now sir," Sic. Sic., and , tc such like conversational garniture wherewith [ tl the young gentlemen decked the exposition i \\ he was making for Mr. Calhoun's benefit, c, Mr. Calhouu's courtesy never failed;?"yes, ai yes," we could hear quickly aud quietly u uttered, all through what must have been, C to hint, the young man's tiresome mouologue a| At last the welcome tea-trays appeared, S and the young man was presently so busily ci engaged in absorbing tea aud demolishing bread aud butter, as to neglect even Mr. ir vaiuvuu. |) Adjoining Mr. Calhouu's room in the al boarding house was a room, largo, airy and comfortable, occupied by a genial, jovial _ gentleman, au M. 0. front N. C-, whose fund a? ot huutor and anecdote, was inexhaustible. " Not only ? i?ty himself, he was a cause of 11 wit in others ?"a fellow of iuhuitc jest." lu this room every evening gathered many ? of the gentlemen, residents in the house for the nonce, to enjoy at once Mr. Y's anecdotes and their after-dinuor cigars, ^ Among them was, usually, a noted member M of Congress from Louisiana, whose stories ol huuior and anecdote equaled, if they did d not excel Mr, Y's Trout this room caute, ? every cveuittg, floating across the hall aud J into the pat lor, roars of laughter, so full of ^ genuine mirth and so continuous that we a women-folk Were constrained to laugh a g little, in sympathy, we knew not why. Mr. 0 Calhoun, whose^ health was eveu then faiN ? iug, usually retired cat ly ; but one evouing a when the "mirth and fun grew fast and y furious," lie was tempted from his rjtire* tl mcnt by the contagious mirth next door, ^ and cutcriug Mr. V's room, made som? slight remark about wishing to enjoy the r goad things that were going. An attempt tl was made by the gctitlemeu raconteurs, to g keep the jest and quip and humorous story c flying around tho^cirolc as before, but they * failed. Like schoolboys in presence of a , preceptor, though beloved and revered, \ they could not forget themselves in the g whim of the moment, aud little by little a the conversation assumed a gravo and qu'ut j tone, ami Mr. Calhoun presently withdrew, y Such was the .influence involuntarily exer-f ? I . ? - > cis.-d over others by tiiis truly guod and H great umn. * t< Though his demeanor showed not a traco p of austerity, his air of gentle quiet dignity, ti wbieh, being an integral part of himself, ho ' co'iiu noi lay aside, tuetr pause ot Ins ex " altod character and great iutell :et produced ^ iu them a feeling of constraint, which they (( could not overcome. The people of South Carolina have often j been ridicu'ed that they worshipped Mr. Call (j houu. They could afford to let such ridi? y cule pass unnoticed, tie was to thcia the n living euibodiment of "all things pure and high," faith in which "heat with their blood." p As the winter advanced the cold became !l severe and Mr. Calhoun's health failed rapidly. On'y one more utten nee of that ( vigorous and incisivo intellect was to be ? given for the welfare of the people who loved him so well, whom he had served 0 so long and so ablv. Too feeble to deliver '' his last speech iu the Senate himself, it (( was arranged that Mr. Mason, Senator from |, Virginia, should read the manuscript to the Senate. The day appointed for this was 0 widely known and the galleries of the Sen J ate Chamber were so crowded that one v man was taken out fainting from the close (| atmosphere. Seats were brought in and if the main aisle of the Senate Chamber, the open area in front of the Vice President's ^ Cltnir nnil llm fill...I ... 111. .. .... .....1 I - ""?V? tl consisting, principally, of ladies.

Mr. Calhoun was j vv 8oon confined entirely to his chamber. It'll was known that he was dying ol consumps ! w tioti. His bedside was watched by ouo ofi" e hissous, who did not long survive his father < Friends all were, who were in the house. ! ? After his death, which occurred in 1 April, crowds flocked to the h ?uso where lie died, for two or three days, to take a last look at ii'.'\ gone forever, who had ? x- n cruised an iiillicnee over the destiai - ol his 1 h untry which c:ui scarcely he overestiuia* I d. His remains were then conveyed to , r vo rotunda of the Capitol, where they ere visited by crowds daily. The usual ?reinonies were observed in the Seuate j j ad House of Representatives, attendant J 1 pou the death of a member of the U S j ^ otigrcss. A Couimittoe of gentlemen was j j ppointcd to couvev his bodv to Charleston ! - * I t . and in ouo t?l* the churchyards of that i t ity he now "sleeps his last sleep." i A I'rinCo had fillou in Isreal?a priuee ' i intellect?a prince in the lolty purity of v is character?a uiau altogether good, ^ [together meat. 1 Advick to tiik Commkiteiai< Foi.ks. \ -We poor fanners have had so much good | lvice from the people living in the cities ud doing a commercial business, and lawO .... t ig and preaching, that 1 think it is time ' e were returning the compliment and givig them some good advice.
