" y Jackson's Birthplace.

HE late letter of Col. Braxton Davenport.
attempting to prove lhat Andrew Jackson
was born in Virginia is exciting some
investigation, and will, no doubt, result
IN review Of the historical records and
evidence Of the event.
We are not disposed to attribute any
importance TO the dispositions offered by
Mr.. Davenport. but it may be "a well
SO vindicate the truth OF history that
some Of our readers or exchanges VINO
have the leisure and documents at com.
mand should state the whole case.
The Norfolk Argus says:
During the life Of Peter P. Mayo, ESQ,
of this city, that gentleman informed the
editor Of this paper that Mr.. Hodijsh
Meade told him that he was once stop
ping with Gen. Jackson, in Petersburg. at
The tavern afterwards kept 10y Powell,
and became intimate with him. Andrew
jackson there informed him that he was
not born in South Carolina, but At
Jennings Ordinary, Nottowsy county,
Virginia. This was before Jackson was
spoken Of as President.
The Richmond Examiner SAYS:
We frankly confess that tho weight Of
testimony is decidedly against such an
opinion. Gen. Jackson always spoke Of
himself as a native Of the Waxhaw settle.
ment in South Carolina; and as his ipfor
nation must have been derived from his
mother, who lived ,iI near the close Of
the Revolutionary war we are bound tn
take ii as conclusive. The old men from
whom Col. Davenport derived his infor.
nation, were in all human probability
mistaken as to the identity Of The 'Aniy
Jackson Of 1863, and the Andrew
Jackson of historic renown.
What says the Lancaster Ledgpr'
The above we find in the editorial col
umns Of The Charleston Courier OF the 18th
instant
That Gen. Jackson was native of this
District, is a fact SO well knowE here from
the time Of his birth, down to the present
time; that when we saw the announcement
That ne was claimed to have been born in
V"gln'a,we thought it unworthy of serious
notice. The claim here, sounds supremely
aOsu'd. The family of Gen Jackson, be-
fore his time was unknown to fame, and
consequently history gives Us u complete
record of it. Those persons who were co.
eval with jackson here. have passed away:
and therefore it is impossiblo to bring Iiy,
ing witnesses upon the stand to establish
his birth place. Yetit is altogether possible
In this instance to establish b~yoUd doubt

universal opinion that, from the then ap.

test ever grown in the district But about
three weeks ago the dry weather set in, and
never in the memory of man did shor,
drought DO so much injury. We are not
without hope however, and unless some

will be large one-aomcthing to brag on.
