GRAVE OF JOHN RANDoLpH.-A wri-
ter in the Norfolk Beacon describes a
visit to the grave of this remarkable man.
Speaking of the former residence Of Mr..
Randolph, he says: -
"After ride of two or three hours, we
entered forest of tall oaks, and were
told by Mr. Cardwell that we were on
Mr. Randolph's estate. Shortly the
houses that were occupied by the great
and eccentric genius, appeared through
the intervening trees, built up in the
midst of the woods. Not stump 10 be
seen, not bush grubbed up; all stand
ing as if the foot of man had never trod-
den there MIR. Randolph would no,
suffer the primitive aspect of things TO be
disturbed in the least. Not a tree, or
branch, or switch, was allowed to be cut.
During his absence in Europe limb
of an oak, projecting towards window
of one of the houses, grew so near that
old Essex, fearing the window would be
broken, cut the limb off. On Mr.. Ran
doIph's return he at once discovered the
muttlation; old Essex was called up,
and the reasons demanded for cutting
off the limb. The old negro told his
master he feared the window would be
broken. Then, said Mr.. Randolph,
why did you not move the house,
The writer here met John, the former
body servant of Mr.. Randolph,> who
treated him and his companion with
great politeness, conducted them to the
winter and summer houses, and other
objects of interest in the vicinity. We
copy the description of his last resting
place.
At my request, John directed US to
his masters grave, at the foot of a lofty
pine, just few steps in the rear of the
summer house. The place was selected
by Mr.. Randolph twenty years before
his death; and by his direction the head
was laid to the east instead of the west,
the usual position. 1t was observed TO
John that his master had ordered his bo-
dy to be thus laid, that he might watch
Henry Clay. John replied, that he had
never heard. him say any thing of the
kind l suppose the position was pre-
ferred by Mi. Randolph because it is the
Indian sepulchral posture, his descent
from Pocahontas, the Indian princess,

happiness: must the christian too, expe-
rience these vicisitudes Of pleasure and
pain. Like the rest of Adams race, his
trials are many and sore, and though
the rainbow of a happy fu,urity
may cheer his troubled spirits and ligh-
ten his cares, yet is he subject like
other men. There is no happiness on
earth unmixed with the bitter gall of
discomfort This is not mans abiding
place, he is traveller and sojourner in
a strange land. Mirth and sadness are
closely allied. J.B.P.

The committee have been able to have
but one meeting since the anniversary
last year (l845) up to the present time.
That each of the agents appointed to
visit the churches during the past year,
from Providential and other justiiable
causes, have failed to do so. The COM
mittee would therefore suggest the pro-
priety OF adopting some plan, by which
there will be greater certainty of secu-
ring the services of some ministering
brother or brethren, to visit the churches
in the month of June next, to g stir up
their pure minds by way Of remem-
brance," concerning the great and i'm
portant object, {" the circulation of the
Bible at home and 5road,") had in view

and used by him, at the door OF one Of
his houses, as a wash-stand, marks the
foot Of the grave. These rocks were
procured and kept for the purpose to
which they are now appropriated, and
particular direction given to John on the
subject
l can never forget my emotions while
standing over the unornamentcd grave
of the gifted and eccentric Randolph.
The tall, unbrokcn forest by which |
was surrounded, the silence and gloom
that reigned undisturbcd amidst the de-
serted place; the thought of the bril-
liant mind that once animated the re-
mains, then mouldering beneath the sod
upon which l was standing, the vanity
OF carth's promises, and hopes and dis.
tlnctiens, impressed my heart and mind
with degree of solcmnlty and interest
was unwilling to dissipaie.
MARY, THE MOTHER OF WASHING
ToN.-Mcssrs. Editors 1t will
doubtless be recollected by yAs
and also by most of your readers,
that some time about the year
1882 or '33, Gen. jackson. then
President Of the United States,
visited the town OF Fredericksburg
Tor the purpose Of laying the cor
ner stone of a monument proposed
to be erected to the memory of
Mary, the mother of Washington.
To the munifcence Of Mr.. Silas
r.. Burroughs, a Nothcrn gentle
man, was Virginia indebted for
this tribute to one of the noblest
Of her daughters.
Eight years ago, | happened to
be in Fredericksburg, / inquired
the way to the monument and
bent my steps thitherward. On
arriving at it. 7 was surprised to
find it unfinished and unenclosed.
Its sides, and even it's beautiful
ly carved marble pillars, were
covered with inscriptions traced
in pencil by the hands of visiters,
and some of them were Of the
most infamous character. By the
side the noble structure lay the
huge block of marble. still unpol-
ished, originally intended for the
cap-stonc-and on the corner Of
which 1t was designed to place
two magnificent eagles with out
stretched wings.
But if | was surprised to find the
monument in this condition when
| visited it, | was still more sur
priscd and mortified to learn, from
gentleman who has lately visi-
ted the hallowed spot, that, owing
to the death Of the contractor, it
still remained unfurnlshed and
without enclosure. If this be so,
it is a burning shame upon Virgil
MIA, that it has been permitted to
remain in this situation so long.
While we are talking of erec-
ting monuments to the living, it
does seem to me that we had bet
ter first complete those that have
been commenced in honor of the
dead. The ladies of Virginia,
especially, ought to feel a lively
interest in the completion Of this
monument to the memory of one
who gave birth to. and by her vir-
tues and counsel properly trained
him who freed America, and laid
a just claim to the honor of being
styled "the first in war, the first
in peace, and the first in the hearts
ofhis countrymen." r. J. w.

The following items we take OF

lag, says the IN. y. Iroplc =
Sickness continues to prevail to
great extent both at Camargo
and Matamoras. At Camargo it
is said that there are eight or ten
deaths per day.
All the hospitals in Matamoras
arc full. and new ones were being~
opened. Two hundred entered
the hospitals there on the week
ending the 23rd ultimo.
The lst battalion of the 2nd In
fantry under command Of Col. B.

18th ult.. on their way to Camargo.
Capt. Swartwout, the comman-
dant ut Reynosa, is fortifying his
position. Gen. Patterson is do.
ing the same at Camargo.
Lieut.. Chase has succeeded Cant.

Matamoras. Lieut.. G. displays
praise worthy energy in the dis
charge Of his new duties.
A gentleman who arrived at
Matamoras from Camargo, in
forms the editors of the Flag that
eight Mexicans, including two
women, had been killed only few
miles below that place. The mur-
der was attributed to some of the
volunteers-but they of the Flag
hope it is not so.
The Camanche Indians are COM
uniting serious dcpredations along
the east bank Of the river, and on
to the Colorado.
The schooner Pale. Alto is up
at Matamoras for this city.
INTERESTING IN RELATION TO THE
JEws.-The London Jewish Chro~
nicle Of June 18th publishes the
contents of an interesting letter
from Jerusalem. The brethren of
the ten tribes it seems are to be
hunted out, and for this purpose
the Jews intend to exert a hearty
cooperation with those settled in
other lands. On the 10th of MAY
a letter arrived in London from the
synagogue authorities Of Sapheth,
saying that in consequence of inns
portant information having reach-
ed them as to the country where
the brethren of the ten tribes are
to be found, resolution wos inn
mediately passed to elect from
among their congregation a man
ready and capable for mission to
that country: They appeal to the
Jerusalem Jews for cooperation
and also to select in Jerusalem one
from the Sephardim (Portugese)
Jews, and one from the Ashkena-
sim German and Polish) Jews, and
to send the three messengers to-
gether, who will have to travel for
several months through enormous
deserts.
It is said that these ten tribes
constitute an empire of their own,
have their own king, and possess
great quantities of ammunition.
They are Of high stature, and have
altogether an athletic appearance.
They are generally occupied with
the study of Kabala, are strictly
religious, and very wealthy, being
in possession of many gold mines.
They do not permit foreigner to
settle among them; even the So
journ of a few days can he obtained
only by the payment of an enor-
nous tax, with the exception Of
lsraelites, who are received as
friends, permitted to reside among
them, and are altogether recog-
nized as their own brethren. The
synagogue authorities in Jerusa-
lem have consented to the mission,
though they will have to incur
heavy expense, which so long a
