Her extraordinary beauty ah<l accomplishments have been rendered fa' move by Mr. Wirt'a eloquent description in kit defence of her budMnd. He repre aented her as * beautiful as a Uouri, anc gifted as Zobeide." Her husband* a wealthy Irish emigrant shared the political opinions of Rober Emmet, and is said to have left Ireland t< avoid bis fete. He bought an estate 01 Bacchus Island, in the broad Ohio, 01 which ho expended $56,000. It bees mi renouned for the elegance of the mansion the tasteful arrangement of the grounds and the loveliness of the scenery. It wai described as a luxurious retreat, whicl 3QP. and heir Nymphs might bav< Not OfM the ruins of this once famou plece srenow remaining. In an evil hour one An# spring morning, Aaron Burr Ian ded on that beautiful Island, and sent hi servant with the following note: " Colonel Burr eoliciU the favor of be in* permitted to teandetutmona the ground . of mre. iHannerhaOmT This, of course, received a courteoui answer, and the acquaintance thus begun involved the hospitable emigrant in th< treasonable designs of his insidious guest A military force took possession of tin island, burnt the splendid house and fur nitnro. destroyed the beautiful gardens and drove the once happy family int< exile* The following account, from the Lick ing Valley Register, Kentucky, is givei by one who knew them in their prosperity Much has been said and written on th conspiracy of Aaron Burr; and a diversi ty of opinion still exists, as to the exteri or trio designs. The elegant retiremen of Blannerhaaeet, previous to his associa tion with Burr, has also been a theme c eloquence and a subject of admiration As I lived near the centre of Butr'sopc rations, and was intimate with the famil of Blannerhassett, many facts came un tier my observation which perhaps are no generally known. 1 therefore compl; with year request by detailing circctmetar tea which ware familiar to me at that pc viod. , i ' >; .With reference (o Burr's conspiracy, haute nover doubted the Tact, that his firs nlpjl vM a separation of the Slates, so the establishment of "an energetic gov . eminent," including our north west am southwestern territories. This intentioi was clearly manifested by a series of pub lioatione with the signature of "Quss ist," in the M Ohio Gazette," a paper ther printed at Marietta, by one Fairlamb. Thoee numbers held forth all the argu ments that could bo urged, to induce tht withdrawal of the Weat and 8outh fronr the old States. Burr furnished the Iced iag points, Blannerhasaett wrote them out and attended to their publication. Th< first number was read to the printer, bj Bhmossbanoett, at my fbther's house, am in the praaaneeof several of the family After the printer had retired my fat he tnade a strong appeal to Mr. Blannerhns sett, on the folly and danger of such ai enterprise; reminding him of his narrov escape from the troubles of Ireland, of th< nnhappy form of gorernment he then en joyed, and of his delightful situation a the bland, surrounded with alUhe source of earthly blias. Mr. Blaanerhaasett wa disconcerted j be acknowledged hie ob ligations for my father's friendly motives but attributed their different views to dil ference of age. My father indignant!; replied that be had fought for the Govern ment under which he lived, that he lovoi it as the apple of his eye, and that treasoi against it could not be concerned unde his roof. Mr. BUnnerhassett politel; withdrew, took up his quarters at a pub lie house, and never made his home witl us afterwards. But number after numbe of the "Qubuist," caarte before the pee pie, bidding forth the possession of th< public lands, with all their mineral pro dwetiens?the great agricultural prospect of the ,Weet?the vast navigable water ? the occupation of New Orleans as i commercial emporium, and various othc arguments in favor of a separate govern ment. A day was also sppointod to hol? a convention nt the island. Bat the plans of Burr were not confi nod to the separation of the States; hi know that this project might fail, and thi establishment of an empiro in tho Mexi can country was his alternative, a num her of batteaax, or row-gs(lies, were pre pored on tho Muskingum river, and pro osblr seme at Other nointa. with wki.l he intended a rapid descent on New Or leans, or to ascend the Red river toward* Mexico, aa circumstances might require. Number* of reetieM and desperate spirit! wnro enlisted in his visionary schemes, from Pittsburg to Now Orleans bet the mas* of the western people were attached ,,to their government, and their connections east of the mountain*. If the cono vantion bad assembled at the island, the - Inhabitant* of the neighbourhood were ' prepared to disperse them with force and 1 wMM. The convention failed; and whan party attempted to eacape with the boatc they prarp invented by the militia, under a apeela} law of Ohio, paaaerl for Iba occa. ion, with eioaed doom. Dut there were traitor* in thai I^aftiatatwro?in Congreaa ?and in the army of the United 3tato?. s > V ; ; v * Burr mot .in council with a fragment of his bilowori, on an island in tho Missis, sippi. where hia ocheme was abandoned. He fled in disguise but waa arrested, tried at the city of Richmond, and acquitted by a quirk of the law.' Blannerhassett and other associate* wcro discharged. His family, sorvantsand fbrniturc, having do* scended the river to Notches, he located himself on a cotton farm in that vicinity, ' The ombargo and the war which follow, i ed, defeated his expectations; he became embarrassed; his fortune having been i impaired by hi* liabilities for Burr. Un der the prospect of a civil appointment in . Lowor Canada, he removed to Montreal, | but his friend, the governor, being remov. . ed, he wee again disappointed, and retired , at last to the Island of Jersey, in the Brit. iah channel, where his maiden sister resiI ded, a lady of fortune. There he died the victim of a romantic and visionary mind. t Blnnnerhasactt was an Irish nobleman, t a man of science, and a polished gentle9 man. He excelled in the composition i and performance of music; his instruft ments were the violin, and bass-viol, both b of which he used in tho manner of the i, bass. His spacious hall was constructed it in musical proportions, where the tones of a his viol vibrated with thrilling effect. His i library was elegant and extensive, his laD boratory was provided with abundant apparatus for chemical and philosophical exa pcrimonts, and his houso and gardens , were furnished with various means of win. ter and summer amusements. Tho mana sion, with its corridor and wings, formed half an ellipsis, and the finish and furniture of its apartments were adapted to the use for which they were intended. The r hall was a spacious, lofty room, its walls painted a sombre color, and its furniture i rich, heavy, and grand. The drawing i room was in perfect contrast, and its dec> orations light as a fary's wing. In short At : L _ a - as* ... lira wnoie csiamisnment wu noble end 3 genteel, without the glare of tinsel finery, . or the inconsistency of bad taste. His i, style of living was in unision with his > house and furniture, always elegant, easy and comfortable. The arrangements of . the grounds was equally complete, the 11 famous shrubery was a mimic wilderness, : with labyrinth walks bordered with flow, e era, and interspersed with arbors and i i- grottos. The extensive pastures in front, it with its flocks and herds, was separated t from the lawn by an invincible fenco; i. and the view upon tho Ohio was obstruc* if ted for several miles. But the whole i. scene requires the pen of a poet. The >. description of Wirt is nearer the reality y than is generally believed, and his sketch i. of Mrs. Blannerhassett is equally true to >t nature. She was a beautiful, and accom. y plished lady, of dignified appearance and i. manners; affable, friendly, and witheut i. the least affectation, vet with all her elegance, she was a noble housewife, and dol voted to her needlo; not in the producit tion of flowers and flounces, but of gard ments for her children and servants. . The miserable slanders which have been j reported of her, are without the least n foundation. Burr did not seduce Blan. nerhassett, through the medium of his . wife, as has often been stated; his only i visit to the island did not exceed threo days; and no woman of Mrs. Blannerhas. sett's mind and character, could be cor. i rupted on so brief an acquaintance. Blan. \ nerhassett was an open and unguarded . man, easily imposed upon nnd enthusias* t tic in all his impulses. Burr approached j him in the most artful and insidious man* r ner. Descending the river in a batUaux, i ho landed as a passing stranger merely to . see and admire the far.famcd island. Mr. r Blannerhassett hearing that a stranger . was on his lawn sent a servant to invite it him to the house; the wily serpent aont r his card with an apology, but Mr Blannera haasett with his usual hospitality walked . out and insisted on his remaining a day t or two. Burr very modestly acquiesced, s and during that unfortunate interview, a infused the poison of ambition into the u unwary mind of his visionary hoAt. Mrs. i, Blannerhassett endeavoured to dissuade f- her husband Irom the enterorise. hut finrt. f hiii foul enlisted in it, her sense of duty . compelled her to acquiesce in his views, d which resulted in the ruin of his family. 11 " Team havs gone by, and the talo at last, r Is told as a sorrowful scene long past." f The steamboat passenger looks on the I, deserted island for some vestage of its forr mer embelishment; but he looks in vain. u The mansion was destroyed by firo, its q beautiful appendages are obliterated, its hospitality, tho soul of music and the re. t finement of tasto and intellect have all deB parted* On my last visit to the scene of , many hnppy hours, tho only memento of r my early associations I could find, was .

TflE Cheraw Academical Society is now in debt about #1600. Since its establishment it has expended, for lots, buildings, and repairs, about #5000; besides large sums of money in making up to teachers from time to time deficiencies in their salaries, arising from inadequate receipts for tuition. Though the Society has heretofore received considerable aid from citizens and otbors not members; yet the principal burden and the whole reeponsi. bility (previous to last year) has always rested on those who tcere. The Society now consists of few in number ; and at a meeting convened this day, it was resolved to sell the Academical Lots and Buildings for the purpose of paying the above debt; unless some measures are promptly adopted by the community to discharge tne same. Most, perhaps all, the members of the Society are understood to be willing to co-operate with their follow citizens in inn matter ; but they are not diepoeed to do it without their assistance.. The 16th day of next month is fixed for delerming upon the sale ; unless, before that I date, the peoplo (with such arguments as sat1 isfy creditors) put their veto upon it.
