TIE FORMER HOME AND FAMILY OF
HENRY CLAY.

A Kentucky correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial tells the following melancholy story
of Ashland, the late homestead of Henry Clay
one of Americas dIst" orators, and for many
years the idol of the old Wing psrty--and the
history Of his descendants:
The old homestead Of Henry Clay Is now occu.
pied by the family Of Hon. Thomas Clay. one of
his sons, and present Minister to ona Of the South
American Governments. IL Is owned by the heirs
of James b. Clay-who it will be remember
died In Canada about year ago. The house in
which Mr.. Clay lived when at home, was torn
down some years since by James, and q magnih.
cent structure erected on its site, and there is
nothing now about the place TO remind one Of
him whD once owned and honored il, except the
family buggy in which the old man and his wife
used to dive about, and the oak trees in front of
the house, beneath which he used 10 sit and talk
with his family and friends.
Mr. Clay had five sons. Four Of them survived
him. One, who bore his fathers name, was killed
in the Mexican war. Thorn 8, as have said, is
now GOVernmen Mt Minister. John Is living in
one half oft old homestead, (now divided into
two farms). James died q fugitive in foreign
land, and Theodore (the Oldest of the family is,
and has been for twenty-five years, an inmate Of
an insane asylum, still svowing to every one with
whom he cOnveTses that he il the original George
Washington, and refusing to respond TO q call
by any other name. Mr.. Clay had no possessions
Of any kind at the time of his death with the
exception of Ashland, which was, of course, worth
q considerable sum; but even that was heavily
mortgaged, and be thought at one time he would
be compelled TO abandon IL 10 his creditors until
one day, when he entered the bank TO pay one of
his notes, he was tod that he did not owe
cent Kind and generous friends had taken his
Gaze in hand, and lifted the pecuniary burden
from his shoulders.

eminent in Mississippi, following the language

lima, Is conclusive evidence that tie same plan
will be pur.ued in the Othsr disOrg snized States
and that the President has not been frightened
from his prOpriety by the radicals and JacObins
who are organizing against his administration
dis plan is 10 restore the UR.Ou by the voluntary

cooperation Of all who have no other object than
the planting Of the Union on the hrmest foanda-

people, by the speedest and most acceptable pro-
cess, IRON the unhappy condition in which the
