be unusual.
Mr SatmH T. Washingtm, a citie of
Kanawha county, in the Commonwealth of
VsrgfnTa, and omiot my constituents, has hon
trreii e -with the comiwifrfwit of pcesewtiny, in
his name and on his behalf, to the Congress of
tlie United States, and, through that body, tv
the people of the United States, two most in
teresting and valuable relics, connected with
the past history of our country, and witli men
whose achievements, both iu the fiitd and Ui
the cabinet, beet il'nblrate and adorn our an
ouls. One is the sword worn by George Wasli
ington, first as a colonel in the colonial service
of Virginia, in Forbes's campaign against the
French and Indians; and afterwards, dnrinjj
the whole period of the war of Independence,
as commander-in-chief of the American Army.
It is a plain rut lean, or hanger, with a
green hilt and silver guard. On the uppeT
ward of the scabbard is engraven J. Boily,
Fishkill." It is accomiaiiied by a buckskin
belt, which is secured by a silver buckle and
clasp; whereon arc enjjraven the letters "i.
W." and the figiirej "1757." These are all
of the plainest workimnship, litit stilutantial,
and in keeping with the man and with the
times to which they belonged.
The history of this sword is perfectly authen
tic, nnd leaves no .shadow of doubt as to its
identity.
' The lnt will and testament of (leneral
Washington, (tearing date on the Oth day of
February, 1719, contains, among a gient varie
ty of bequests, the followingclause. "To each
of my nephews, William Augustine Washing
ton, George Lewis, George Stepkie Washing
ton, Tlushrod Washington, and Samuel Wash
ington, I give one of the swords or eutleanx of
which I may die possessed ; nnd they are to
choose in the ordT they are named. These
swords arc accompanied with an injunction, not
to unsheatli them fur the purpose of shedding
blood, except it be fnrself-defeiice or in defence
of their country and its rights ; and, in the lat
ter case, to keep (hem unsheathed, and prefer
falling with them in tlieir bauds, to the reliu-
quifhment thereof."
In the distribution of the swords, hereby de
vised, among the five nephews therein enu
merated, the ono now presented fell to thu
share of Samvri Washington, the devisee last
named in the clause of the will which I have just
rend. '
' This gentleman, who died a few years since,
in the county of Kanaw ha, and w ho was fu'nrr
of Samuel T. Washington, the donor, I knew
well. I have often seen this swerd in his pos
session, and received fror,, himself the follow
ing accoiv.it of the manner in which it became
Ills property, in the division made among the
devisees. '
He said that he knew' it to have been the
side arms of General Washington during the
revolutionary war not that used on occasions
of parade and review, but the cons'nnl mtrr
sword ofthe great chief; that he had himself
seen General Washington wear this identical
sword, (he presumed for the last time,) when
in 1794, he reviewed the Virginia and Mary-
land forces, then concentrated at Cumberland,
under command of General Ie, and destined
to ooperato with the Pennsylvania and New
Jereey troops, then assembled at Bedford, in
suppressing what has been called "the whiskey
insurrection.
General Washington was at that lime Presi
dent of the United Slates, and, as such, was
eonimaiider-in-chicf of tho army. It is known
that it was hm intention to le.ad the army in
person on that occasion, had he found it necessv
ry ; and he went to Bedford and Cumberland
prepared tor that event. The condition of
things did not require it, and ho returned to Vita
civil dotiesat Philadelphia.

lie has, in liVe manner, requested me to pre
sent this cane to the Congress f Ore United
States, deeming it not unworthy the public ac
ceptance.
This wasonce the property of tho philoso
pher nnd patriot, Benjamin Franklin. '
By a codicil to his last will and testament.
we find it thus disposed ul :
My ne crab-tree walking Btick, with a gold
head, curiously wrought in the form of the cap
of liberty, I give to tny friend, and the friend
of mankind. General Washington. If it were
a sceptre, ho has merited it, and would become
it.
General Washington, in his will, devises this
cane as follows :
Item. To my brother Charles Washing
ton, I give and bequeath the gold-headed cane
h-ft nn; by Dr. Franklin, in his will."
Cuptain Samuel Washington was the only
son ofCharles Washington, the devisee, from
whom he derived, by inheritance, this interest
ing memorial ; and having transmitted it to his
son, Samuel T, Washington, the latter thus
seeks to bestow it worthily, by ns.-x-iatuig ii
with the baltlu-sword, in a gill to his country
men. I cordially concur with Mr. Wabhington in
the opinion that tiiey each merit public pre
servation ; and Ioboy, with pleasure, Ms wish
es in here preaeutiug them, in his name, to the
nation. , .
Let the f word ofthe hero and the staff of
tho philosopher go togftJier. lt them have
place among the proudest trophies and 'most
honored memorials of our national achieve
ments.
Upon that stnfl'once leaned the sage of whom
it has been said "Ho snatched the lichtuing
from heaven, and the sceptre from tyrants."
, mighty arm once wielded this sword in a
righteous cause, even unto the dismemberment
of an empire. In the hand of Washington, this
was "the sword of the Lord and of Gideon."
It was never drawn, except in defence of the
public liber'y. It was never sheathed until a
glirrious and triumphant success returned it to
the scabbard, without a stain of cruelty or dis
honor upon its blade. It was never surrender
ed, except to that country which bestowed it.

The "Editor of the Hortiirrure Magazine re
commends a trial of the following metr?id of
growing asparagus, which is practised at Nice,
ar.fl of which a high account is given in tho
London Gardener's Chronicle. Take a quart
wine boCle ; invert it over the ead ofastalk
of asparagus just rising from the gfemndv. and
Becnreftby three sticks so that it tatfnot bo
knocked over. If left n this stare, the aspara
gus will grow tip into the interior ofthe bottlft
and.being stimulated by the Wnusual heat and
moisture it is then exposed to, will speedily fill
it. As soon as this b9 taken place, the bot
lie must be broken, and the asparagus temoven
when it will be found to have formfed a thick
head of tender delicate shoota, all eatable as
compact as a cauliflower.
