Gen. JacDon's Birth Place.-South
81 L Carolina W.. Virginia.

X
. The claim Of Major Davenport that
Gen. jackson was born in Virginia, is
refuted by the Lancaster {S. G. J Ledger,
which shows that he was a native of that
district. We quotas
The family of Jackson was Scotch,
and emigrated. at an early period, to the
North Of ireland. Andrew Jackson, the
father of General ackson, with his sons,
Hugh and Robert, left ireland and landed
in Charleston; in 1865, and removed to
the Waxhaws, Lancaster District, S. c.,
there to reside. Major Robert Crawford,
with others of the Crawford family, came
over with him, and likewise settled in the
Waxhaws. Andrew jackson died shortly
after his arrival in this country, and Just
before the birth of his son Andrew. The
latter was born on the 10Th day of March,
1867.
The Jacksons were in rather INDECENT
circumstances but Major Crawford, a
wealthy man, was, through the marriage
Of one of his brothers with the sister of
Andrew Jackson's (Sr., wife, somewhat
family connection, and was the firm
and undertaking friend Of the Jacksons.
From the best Information we can gather,
the mother Of Gen. Jackson had left the
place where her husband first settled, and
was. at the time of the birth of her son
Andrew, living on place belonging to
Major Crawford, and very near to his
place of residence. In a very short time
after that event--the birth of Andrew
Major Crawford took her to his own house,
and it was her home mil her death.
Major Crawford took good care of his
protcge and was repaid by filial affec-
ton that died only when the old hero
himself ceased to exist. The descendants
of Major Crawford are numerous, and the
tradition of the family as to the birth
place of Jackson is as we have above
stated. There are numerous relations of
Gen. jackson now living in this district
some of them second eousins--and the
tradition among them is that Gen. jack
son was born in the Waxhaws. The
tradition is not vague and uncertain it
is positive, direct; and is founded upon
information handed down from parents to
their children. There are men and wo-
men now here, and many of them, who
have conversed with persons of undoubted
Veracity, who were present at the birth of
Con. jackson. Some of those who were
present were near relatives, and gave some
years ago their testimony to.thc fact that
their distinguished kinsman was born in
the Waxhaws. All the above can be
verified, if necessary, by men and women
among rs Of unquestioned character.
The Ledger further states that Martin
P. Crawford. Esq, the grandson of Maj.
Robert Crawford, is now the owner of an
old negro woman who was playmate Of
Jackson's in early childhood. Phillis is
upwards of ninety years old. and can point
the exact spot on which stood the house
in which Gen. jackson was born.

WASHINGTON CROSSING THE
DELAWARE.
DY sEBA SMITH.

Daft and gloomy the bour,
And Freedoms fires burnt low;
For twenty days had Washington
Reireaied from the foe;
Aud his weary solliers' feet were bare,
As he fed across the Delaware
Hearts were failing through the land,
Aud patriot blood ran cold;
The stricken army scarce retainI
Two thousand men, all told;
While the British arm. CLEANED every where,
From the Hudson to the Delaware.
Cold and stormy came the night
The great Chief FOused his men:
''Now, mp, brave comrades, up, and strike
For Freedom once again;
For the lion sleePeth in his lair,
On the LEFT bank OF the Delaware"
By the dattling rivers side,
Beneath a winiry sky,
From that weak banl, forlorn and few,
Went up the patriot cry:
40, land OF Freedom, neer despair!
Wen die, or cross the Delaware."
How the strong oars dashed the Ice,
Amid the tempest's roar,
And how the trumpet voice of Knox
Sill cheer. them to the shore!
Tins in the freezing midnight air,
These brave hearts crossed the Delaware.
In the morning, grey and dim,
The shout Of battle rose;
The Chief led back his valiant men,
With a Thousand captive foes;
While Trsnton shook with lannon's blars,
That told the news Ger the Delaware.

that he is honest in breaking with the
