lllSCELLAN ROUS.
A SERVANT OF GENERAL WASHINGTON

An old coored man named Jerry now residing on
the farm of Msjor Smoot, of Alabama, is said TO be
l01 years of age The Selma Sentinel gives the fol-
lowing history of his life
He was born the property Of Col. Fauntleroy, Of
Reppahsnnock, Virginia, in l75l and while Washing.
ton was in Philadelphia, attending the Continental
Congress, he purchased him from his master, giving
thirty pounds for him. Soon after he became the pro-
perty of Washington, General Washington took CON-
mand of the army-taking Jerry with him bis body
servant which position Jerry occupied until the close
Of the great struggle for American Independence,
taking active par; in all the battles in which WASH
ington was Engaged. Jerry recounts with great &C.
curacy the prominent Incidents OF many battles, and
shed tears while relating the hardships experienced
by the soldiers of the American forces, especially Of
the hardships In the Jersey colony.
After the close of the war; Jerry was taken to
Mount Vernon, where he remained until the year
before the death of General Washington. when, be-
coming discontinued in consequence OF bis wife
moving to defiant neighborhood, he sold to the
of his wife. few years after, Jerry's wife
died. He again becoming dissatisfied with bis mas
ter, again sod and finally was carried to Rich
mond and placed in the public market, where he was
purchased By the father OF Colonel Hugh 2. Watson.
now Of Montgomery, Alabama. Mr.. Watson kept
Jerry until his death, when he fell into the hands
Of his young master, Colonel Hugh P. Watson.
When the war with Mexico took place, and there
was call for volunteers to fight the battles OF the
country, Col. Watson was one of those who volun-
teersd. As soon Jerry heard that he said bis
young master should not go unless he too, went III;
him. Jerry, true to HE determination, induced by q
faithful attachment to his master, went with the Tai
ladega boys Jerry would not only take every oppor
tunity TO kill Mexican, but would, when he could
not shoot one, win their money from the "ysar
devils" Ia very popular phrase of Jerry's when
speaking Of the Mexcaps Jerry declares that he and
ono more OF the Tsadega volunteers 1.-THE name Jerry
freely the only Americans that could beat
the Mexcsns at monte and such other games a. they
played. and as proof il Jerry brought home quite
number of Jumps of gold, which no took great de.
light in showing a. specimens oil Mexican currency.
When the service Of the raadega volunteers expired
in Mexico, Jerry returned with his young master.
Watson gave Jerry permission TO go where and when
he pleased. He stays rnost of his time at Major
Smoot's, feeding pigs, working in the garden aud
doing such little work he feels disposed to.

WDRD-FATIS(t

The House bill provides for admitting Kansas into
the Union with pros!avery constitution subject to
popular vote. The back.republican doctrine until
now has been that Congress may exclude slavery
from Territory, and reject the application Of slave
State TOR admission The issue between the black
rapubicana and the Democracy has tren An issue be.
tween the Wilmnt provso enforced by Congress in
spite of the will Of the local community and the right
nj the locs community to decide local questions for
Themselves. The House bill cuts up two cardinal
bsck republican doctrines by the ronts II first de.
nice the right Of Congress to decide the slavery ques
tion referring The decision to the local community
and it, secondly, upon the contingency of popular
vote long warred agains by the black republicans,
which il authorizes, provides for the admission OF
slave State. II WAS voted for by the solid black
publican party, among whom were many members
who had made solemn declarations like the follow.
ing:
"Mr. Farnsworth So hel? me God, another slave
State shall never enter the Union by my vote.
"Mr. Giddings. l will never consent that Ohio
shall associate with another slave State.

ANSWER TO A COURSE OF QUESTIONING.
On Monday last, we incidentally pointed out the
difference between the Crittenden bill and the method
proposed by Gov. Wise for the admission of Kansas
In doing 30. we simply stated the facts. The South
Side Democrat" desires to know what We mean by
this simple statement Of facts. We meant to inform
the public of facts-that is all and we are at loss
to discover how our publication can be made The sub
ject ofsuspioious enquiry.
But we referred to the difference between the two
propositions important" difference, and we are
asked "whst do you mean by that7" And yet thIs
question Is put by the same article which expresses
decided preference, as between the two for the Crit.
tenden bill. On this point, must express differ.
Of opinions II ratification is to bs required at
ALL We regard il as more consonan with the doctrine
of nonutsrference, that it should be effected by an
election prescribed by territorial and by Congrcs
sional authority.
In asking whether the enquirer prefers the poll
cy indicated by Governor Wise to that of the admins.
traton on this subject, the "Dsmocrat' can mean
nothing but taunt. We will not reply to question
which was answered before il was asked and 30 fire.
quently and Enthusiastically answered, that the "De-
mocrat' cannot pretend want of information on the
subject.
We are further asked whether we undertake to
exonerate Governor Wise from the charge OF disoy-
atty" We are further asked whether wn will "per'
nit Douglas, Walker and Governor Wise, AMI the
rngleaders Of This conspiracy" to commit "deprada.
tlons upon the Democratic close" We have 10 an
swer that whenever Governor Wise is charged with
"disloyaty" or conspiracy" we pronounce tie
charge false charge come whence it may. Ii the
"Democrat' desres TO make such a charge let it do
SO openly, and will try the issue before the people
of Virginia.
Finally, we must remind the "Democrat' that we
decline to reaate the nick names, which it applies to
ourselves.
