PA l'LDIM"S IV ASH I N TO X . The Southern Literary Messenger speaks in high commendation of Mr. Paulding's Life of Washington, and says that it will tak a deeper hold on 'he popular mind than any woik that has yet been written on the same subject. We subjoin a lew extracts: v.!um;ton"s i ikti! ri.Acr. The house in which Washington was born stood about half a mile from the junction of Pope's Creek with the Potomac, and was either burned or pulled down long previous to the revolution. A few scantv relics alone remain to nurk the spot which will ever be sacred in the eves of posterity. A clump of old decayed tig trees, probably coeval with the mansion. yet exists; a number of vines and shrubs and lowers still reproduce themselves every year as if to mark its site, and flourish among the hallowed ruin?; and a stone, placed there by Mr. George Washington Custis, bears the simple inscription. "Here, on the lllh of February," (O. S.) "1732, George 'Washington was born."' The spot is of the deepest interest, not only from its associations, but its natural beauties. It commands a view of the Maryland shore of the Potomac, one of the most majestic of rivers, arid of its course for many miles towards Chesapeake Hay. An aged gentleman, still liv ing in the neighborhood, remembers the house in which Washington was born. It was a low pitched, single storied, frame building with four rooms on the first floor and an enormous chimney at each end on the outside. This was the style of the better sort of houses in those days, and they are till occasionally seen in the old settlements of Virginia. MRS. WASHINGTON'. It has been related to me by one whose authority I cannot doubt, that the first meeting of Colonel Washington with his future wife was entirely accidental, and took place at the house

- of Mr. Chamberlayne, who resided on the Pamunkcv, one of the branches of lork River. Washington was on his way to Williamsburgh, on somewhat pressing business, when he met Mr. Chamberlayne, who, according to the good old Virginia custom, which forbids a traveller to pass the door without doing homage at the fireside of hospitality, insisted on his stopping an hour or two at his mansion. ashington complied unwillingly, for his business was urgent. But it is said that he was in no haste to depart, for he had met the lady of his fate in the person of Mrs. Martha Custis, of the ' Wrhite House, county of New Kent, in Virginia. 1 have now before me a copy of an - original piclue of this lady, taken about the time of which I am treating, when she captivated the affections of Washington. It represents a figure rather below the middle size, with ha- . ze eyes, and hair of the same color, finely rounded arms, a beautiful chest - and taper wait, dressed in a blue tilk robe of the fashion of the times, and altogether furnishing a very sufficient apology to a young gentleman of seven and twenty for delaying his journey, and perhaps forgetting his errand for a " time. The sun went down and rose again before Washington departed for Williamsburgh,leavinghis heart behind him, and, perhaps carrying another away in exchange. Having completed his business at the scat of government, he soon after visited the While House, and being accustomed, as my informant says, to energetic and persevering action, won the lady and carried her off from a crowd of rivals. The marriage look place in the win- ' ter of 1750, but at what precise date ' is not to be found in any record, nor is it, I believe, within the recollection of any person living. I have in my possession a manuscript containing the .particulars of various conversations with old Jeremy, Washington's blac k servant, who was with him at Rraddock's defeat, and accompanied him on his wedding expedition to the White House. Old Jeremy is still living while I am now writing, and in full possession of his faculties. His me moryisniot especially preserved, and, a? might be expected, he delights to talk of Massa George. The who series of conversations w as taken dow n verbatim, in the peculiarphtasoology the old man, and it is quite impossible ' to read the record of this living chron ' icle of the caily days of Washington, without receiving the full conviction of -its perfect truth.

Wars in Texas for tiik

years. We make the following brief outline of these wars from an article in the Lexington Reporter: Their history according to the writer, shows that the .Mexicans have not advanced in military tactics since the days of Montezuma, and that in morals they have retrograded. The fu st contest between the people of the United States and the Mexican soldiers was in 1 009 or 10. Col. Lassus commanded at Baton Rouge. To avenge the wrongs done by this officer to Col. Reuben Kemper, 40 Americans under Gen. Phillip Thomas, took Baton Rouge, with Col. Lassus and his garrison of 120 men. Col Kemper then proceeded into Texas to aid the patriots of that province against the Mexican government. A party of 550 men under Col. Ross end Lt. Col. Kemper, then took Goliad and its garrison of tw o Mexican companies without any Iocs. In two months after, 1500 Mexican troops beseiged the Texians, but were attacked, defeated and all taken. This little army flushed with confidence, set out in 1812 for the conquest of Mexico. The Mexicans were in force to the number of 3000 near San Antonia, but were completely routed and cut to pieces by Ross and Kemper. Two Governors of provinces were made prisoners, but were afterwards broken in upon by a young Spaniard whose father had been shot, and who in revenge murdered them and all the other otliccrs. In March, 1812, a force of 4000 Mexican ticops appeared near San Antonio. Col. Kemper had gone to Red River for recruits, but his men determined to go against this army though seven times greater than their own. The victory was complete, and only 3 men lost by the Americans In August, 1812, Gen. Toledo arrived and took command of San Antonio, and n ith Ross' force of 400 and 300 Indians, attacked another Mexican army and routed them. These former successes may be said to have severed iexas from the mother country. In September, 1335, Gen. Cos came with 1500 men into Texas Goliad was taken from him by 175 Texians, and GOO farmers under Gen. Austin marched against Cos. A paity of 92 men under Panning and Bowie were attacked by 500 Mexicans but the latter were defeated with the loss of 104 men and piece of artillery. The conquest of Alamo by Milam, and the capture of Cos and 1100 men followed. In point of physical and moral superiority and bravery, the writer compares 10,000 Americans to 100,000 Mexicans. The Mexicans in fact ire of an inferior race, Moorism, Span ish, Indian and negro blood combined. Gen. Toledo told the writer of the ar ticle, that with 2000 such troops as he commanded at San Antonio, he could readily make the conquest of Mexico. Jv. 1 . krcnmi olar. JSoeirtfs V Siiiii&lcs.
