I , um, THE 10THER- OF WASHINGTON;"
[For the facts contained in the following
sketch of Mary Washington, the public are
indebted to George W. P. Clistis; Esq.,
grandson of the wife of George Washington.
Mr. Custis certainly had better opportuni
ties than any tither one, to become acquaint
ed with the merits of this remarkable wo
man.]
The monument marking the , repose of the
mother of Washington, beats the above sim
ple, yet affecting incription. Nu eulogy
could be higher—norm' could more effectu
ally appeal to the heart of evert American.
By the great mos= of out own'conntrynien,
even, too little is known of this distinguished
woman. Every relic of her should be Care
fully preserved, as a s memento of the " guide
who directed the steps of the yuthful hero,
when they needed a guardian ;" and of her
to wbuselOiniing care, Washington hiiitself
ascribed the origin of his fortune , : ant t his
fame.
Mary Washington was a descendant, from
the very respe . stable family of Ball, who set
tled as English colonists on the bankrorthe
Potomac_ In her person, she was ofiriiaille
size, and finely formed ; lterJeatures pleas:
ing, yet strongly marked. By the death of
her husband she became involved in the
cares of a young family, at a period when
those cares seem most to claim the aid and
control of the father. Thus it was left to
this excellent woman to form in the youth
time of her sun, those great and essential
qualities, which gave lustre to the glory of
his after life. George was then but twelve
years of age, and he has been heard to say
that he knew little of his father; except the
remembrance of his person, and his paren
tal fondness.
The home of . Mrs. Washing -ton, of which
she was always mistress, was a pattern of
order. There the levity arid indulgences
common to youth, were tempered by a well
regulated restraint, which, while it neither
suppressed nor condemned any rational en
joyment in the spring time of life, prescribed
those enjoyments within the bounds of mod
eration and propriety. Thus he was taught
the duty of obedience, which prepared him
to command. The late Lawrence Wash
ington, Esq., of Cchotank, one of the asso
ciates of the juvenile years of George, thus
describes his mother: " 1 was often with
George, a playmate, a.schoolmate and com
panion. Of his mother, I:was ten times
more afraid than I was of my own parents ;
she awed me in the midst of her kindness,
for she was indeed truly kind. And even
Dow, when time has, whitened my - locks;
and I am the grand parent of a second-gen-•
eration, I could not behold that majenic wo
man without feeling it ih impossible , to de
scribe. Whoever „has seen that awe-inspir
ing air and manner, so characteristic in the
father of his country, will remember 'the
matron as she appeared, when the presiding
genius of her well-ordered household."—
Such were the domestic influences under
which the mind of young 'Washington was
formed; and his behavior 'toward his moth
er, at all times, tetitifted that he appre
ciated her character, and profited by her
*erections. Even to the last moments of
Intilenerable parent, he yielded - to her will
the' most dutiful and implicit obedience, and.
felt for her thehighest reipect and most en
thusiastici attachment.
When the comforting and glorious bite&
:geace arrived, of •W ashington crossing- the
DelawareinDecember, I 770; an event which
occurred in the "hour of peril," and restor,
ed the hopes of our country's success from
the - verybtink of despair, a number of her
friends waited on the mother with letters,
aid congratulations. She received , thent
with' calmness,
.and ohder c t'e t icl that it wits
pleasurahle - nein. In reply to their coo
gritulationi she said : " Mfgood

iii low and gentle tones. The polder of the
religious -sentiments over the shattered soul
seems perfectly mirafulous. The worship
of a 'quiet,'filving heart affects them like a
voice from heaven. iTearing and fending,
yelling and stamping. ? singing and groaning,
gradually subside int i silence, and they fail
on.iheir knees, fir ga e upwards with clasp
ed linds, as if
. they -a w through the open
iiig itarkness o n gldeti gleam from their Fa- .
flier's throne,of love.
On one occasion this missionary ofmercy
was earnestly : cautioned not to approach a
raving maniac. He yelled frightfully, day
and night, rent his garment, placked out
his hair, land was so violent that it was sup
posed be would murder tiny one that ventoy

self at a little distance, and without appear

rene countenatice and gentle voice, curtain
.passages of Scripture tilled with the spirit
of tenderness. His Shouts gradually subsif

When she paused, be said meekly : "Read

when, alter a prolonged seasoo of worship,

me your hand,"soiehe. Site gave it, mid
smiled upon- him The wild expression of
his haggard couotemince softened to tearful
ness, as he said, " You treat ine right. God
sent you."
On another occasion she had been lead
ing some twenty or thirty maniacs iota wor
ship, tend seeing thiem all quiet as lambs
gathered into the shepherd's fold, she pre,-
pared togo foithto other duties. In leaving
the room, she passed 'Fin insane young mail,
with whom she had several interviews. He
stood with hands clasped, and a etainte
mince of the deepest reierence: With a
friendly smile, she said, " Henry,,are you
well to-day 1" " Hush !—hush !" replied
he sinking his voice to a whisper, and ga
zing earnestly on th'e space around her.—
" Hush'—there are angels with you ! They
hive given you their voice!"
But let, not the forMalist suppose that ,he
can works - ueh miracles as these, in the pro

it up began ns follows:
"Last night, yesterday morning, about 3
u'•clock in the afternoon, just before break
fast, a hungry boy about forty' years old,
bought a penny custard and threw it thin'
brick stone wn4l made of iron, and jumping
over it . broke his ankle right above his• left
knee, fell into a dry' mill pontL and texas
drowned. About forty years after that, on
the same day, a high wind blew downi the
Dutch church and killed two.dead pigs at
B,uston, and a deiid horse kicked a blind.
toatt's eyes out."

I IMPORTANT DotCIUXIEZIITS..t •
Our anticipations of the: utter futility of
any attempt to negotiate with the Mexicans
in their present temper and• circumstances
have bean more than realized. The terms
proposed by them . indicate a haughty pride
and obstinacy, utterly inconsistent with the.
charaCter of their defensive operations.—
They are the terms of victors rather than
those of conquered. suppliants. The .terms
proposed by Mr. Trist are far more .liblertil,
than the popular sentiment in this citniary
would—approve. The manner, in which
they were received by the pompous and pre.
tentions enemy must convince.every 'en et
of this °Union of the necessity ofour•goV rh
inenti pursuing the course which we hay al,
along advocated—to wit : to occupy, ma
sess, nay if it be expedient, to absorb M
co in the United States. Let there now
no longer any opposition to this war, f
idle hopes of an honorable pease from
will of the Mexicans. 'We rit.e in it,
must fight it out gallantly, and the :
P et the government throw all he ene
hisources and power of the rept tic into
prosecution of this war, and. the coat.
subjugation of the country. 1 '
The dehherations between the corn
sioners of the two nations , ennalrnente
the reading of the correspondence betw
Santa Anna and Gen. Scott, . Which le.
negotiations, and the Mexican appoint
of commissioners, which documents:ha , .
