BELVOIR.

10 the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
In mo. In Of the series of interest
ing publications ia the Gazette, under
the heading of early Virginia His
tory" over the signature of NV. Il. S."
in reference to "Belvoir," the home Of
the Fairfaxes, near Mount Vernon, the
writer says: "Of all these events and
incidents, fraught with so much inter
est to the present generation, only the
most fragmentary accounts have come
down to US, through either written
record or oral tradition" Then he af-
firms, positively, "We know here (Bel-
voir) it was, that he (Weshington) first
met the charming Miss Cary, sister OF
Mrs. George VIM. Fairfax, and became
conscious, for the first time in his strip
ling years, of the conquering fascina-
tion of female charms, only to be de-
MED afterwards" sc. "The love lorn
youth pressed no more his claim after
such an unexpected reverse" Now, ]
respectfully ask the accomplished
writer of early Virginia History"
how we know or be knows the truth
of this "fragmentary account" of Wash
logton's youthful love, which, like the
Miss Grymes, and other ambitious fam
lily myths, has come down to US through
oft repeated and stereotyped mere un-
authenticated "oral sraditiop?" These
f,mily traditions and unsupported con
}ctural statements as to the
ieutity of the youthful WashingtoD's
"I4owland Beauty" have been digni-
ied by the notice of the historian Ban
croft and Bishop Meade in his book of
the sold Families of Virginia." and,
in the absence of proof to the contrary,
have been accepted as history. But
all doubt or debate on this question
is absolutely settled and stopped by a
letter of Washington (now in the pos
session of Gen. Filzhugh Lee and
published, over his own communities
ton, in the Alexandria Gazette in the
.ary seventies) addressed from Win
chester, Virginia, to William Fauntle-
roy, esq.,, Richmond county, Virginia,
while Washington was yet youthful
surveyor of the lands of Lord Fairfax
in the Shenandoah valley. See the
files of the Alexandria Gazette. In
This letter, after stating that sickness
nad deferred his purpose of going down
TO see her, he encloses a missive to
miss Betsey," and expresses the hope
that be would obtain reversal OF
her former cruel sentence"
For the truth of Virginia history, it
would be we'll to republish Gen. Fitz
hugh Lees communication to the Ga
zette of this letter from the youthful
Washington, whose transcendent fame
is now the proud boast of mankind
wi h )ut prototype, a peer, or q paral-
lei. T. T. FAUNTLEROY.

No Support From England.

London, March 1.-The Daily

on the relations between the
United States and Spain, says :
"Spain can expect no support,
moral or otherwise, from Eng
land against the United States.
She. has ruined Cuba, as she has
ruined or lost every other colony,
by the grossest corruption, cru
city and inaladministratiop, and
she must be left to settle the ac-
count for it with those whom It
may concern without al y aid or
sympathy On our part
The Standard, in all editorial
on the same general topic, nigh

statesmanlike moderation, and
recognizes that "it would be
only human nature that proof
of the Maine having been blown

gender a dangerous war feeling
