The I'nst and ISie Present.
The Washington IitteWijeuccr h:i3 the
following description and narrative :
A visit to the Arlington Mansion and
surrounding estate, a few days, s.ince,
filled us with oppressive and melancholy
reflections. Four years ago Robert E.
Lee, then a lieutenant colonel of cavalry
in the Uuion army, and now commander-in-chief
of the rebel army, was with his
family in the happy possession of that
magnificent inheritance. More than one
half of the estate, consisting of a thousand
acres, was covered with a splendid for
est of oak and other timber, and the rich
and productive fields adorned with the
hand of culture. To-day what a change!
The venerable ancestcal.,rnaiision erectttd
by the honored son by adoption of the
Father of his Country, and for half a cen
tury his cultivated and delightful home,
is now in ihe centre of a vast cemetery of i
those who have f illen in the service of j
their country. )
Two hundred and fifty acres of this '
e.-tate sarrouiu i ig the mansion have been
permanently appropriated for burial pur
poses by the government, inclosed by a
substantial and handsome fence. Nearly
five thousand soldiers have already been
there buried, and the nuinbr is daily
growing larger. In 18o3, Mrs. Cuns,
the mother of Mrs. Gen. I Ate, died in the

mansion ; and in 18.7 Mr. Custis died,
ur.il his remains wi re deposited by her
side, a vast concourse of persons of every
rank testifying their reverence for the de
parted by their presence at the obsequies.
That sequestered groe, thus selected
by its owner as the last resting place for
himself and his, lias been in the tempest
of the times invaded, the forest lias been

tis and Marj- Iee Fitzhugh, his wife,
now rise in the mid.-t of more than four
thousand patriot soldiers graves. Nearly
the whole of the timber and w od has
been swept from the entire estate and
used for war purposes. The Freed men's
Village is established upon one portion of
the land thus chared, and it is all leing
put under cultiation by contraband negro
lalwr.
Mr. Custis inherited this estate from
his father, who was the son of Mrs.
General Washington by a former hus
band. Soon filkr his mother died in
1802, he, then abmt twenty-five years of
age, came here fioiu Mount Vernon, and
with his young and accomplished wife
took up their residence in the Arlington
Mansion, which he had just then erected,
and which evermore was their beautiful
nd cultivated home. Ihe fruits of this
union were four daughters, all of whom
died in infancy, except Mary Custis, the
wife of General Robert E. Lee. Mr.
Custis' father, dohn Parke Custis, was
aid-de- camp to Washington, and died of

Oil Adventure.
Yesterday we met a gentleman in this
city, who very recently launched out in
what he supposed was a good speculation,
but, as the sequel will show, we got egre
giously sold. The tory in reference to
his case, which is really true, in regard
to which we shall give fictitious names,
runs thus:
.Some time sir.ee, Jones, a bachelor,
who owns a farm near this city, invited
his friend Brown to go on a sporting tour.
The two proceded and enjoy. d a good
day's sport hunting in the neighboring
woods, and while wandering about they
crossed Jones farm on which there is a
spring of water. Brown, being very
thirsty, partook of a drink at the spring,
but did not relish the water. lie made
no complaints, however, but in day or two
thereaiier made a iroioiii:;ii to Jones to
purchase one-hail" of the farm on which
the spring was loeated. .Jones, who had

While in the latter place, he renewed
his proposition to purchase Jones' farm,
and finally purclfased it for 20,000 cash.
Tlie necessary papers were made out, and
a day or two since D.oh si became proprie
tor of the coveted land. Now comes the
sequel. Brown, as soon as he had the
propei ty in his own hands, began to wear
! a cheerful asicct, dapping and rubbing his
hands in great glee, much to the amuse
ment of his friend. A dialogue, substan
tially as follows ensued:
Brown "Do you remember Jones,
when jou and 1 went gunning som lime
since "
Jones "I do."

and attempted to urink out ot that spring
