There hangs in the law office Of Mr.. T. ].
MaCkey, of this city, an original letter writ

lows:
HERMITAGE, June 2, 1s2s- Gentlemen; have had
the pleasure to receive your Kind letter ni inc
twelfth ultimo, inviting me to celebrate with the
citizens OF my native district the approaching an
niYcrsary Of our national independence. -
For this pleasing testimonial Of he esteem OF The
citizens Of Lancaster | pray you, gentlemen, 10
offer to them the assurance Of my heartfelt thank,.
III 1t were in my power nothing could be more
grateful to my feelings than to comply with their
wish, but the distance to be trdvc.ed ana the
various acquisitions on my time nj home compel
me TO say that that pleasure must be delayed
until some other period.
Be pleased, gentlemen, to accept for yourselves
individually, and convey to those you represent,
my gratitude for your tender recollection Of me us
a citizen of Lancaster. This obligation is hight
ened by the consciousness on my part that alb
sence and time have no' weakened the ardour of
that sentiment which conseorates the memory of
the place which gave me birth. have the honor
to he, gentlemen, your obdt. seryl.. ,......,.

Parton, in his lifo Of jackson, gives his
place of birth rs Union county, North Caro-
lima, but the letter shows it to be Lancaster,
S. G., which is as yet remote spot, the fast
ness OF winch mas never been invaded by q
railway. Lancaster is the birth place of two
great man-Andrew Jackson, one of the great
est men Of his age, and Dr. j. Marion Sims,
recently deceased, the greatest surgeon of his
age.
Mr.. Mackey, the owner of the letter, relates
many anecdotes of "Old Hickory" Mr..
Mackoy's father was warm friend of jack
son, and was captured with him by the
British when they were boys and taken to
Camden, s. c.. 1t was hero that jackson OBJ
tanned tho scar on his forehead for refusing
to black British officers boots. Tho revenge
which the great warrior resorted to when he
became renowned is one of tho most
touching of moral lessons. 1t was at New
Orleans when, after the battle, jackson took
the valuablcs from the persons of the slain
British officers and returned them to the COM
mander of tho enemy, apologizing for his
inability to find an epaulotte which was lost.
The supposition that "Old Hickory" was an
ignorant man, states Mr.. Mackey, is an err
roneous one as several of the letters which
Jackson wrote give evidence of his learning,
which was covered and hid away by his
modesty. Several times when questioned
about the origin of the scar alluded to, he
replied that he had received more severe scars
than that in his life.
