H'ashi.v.toX, July 20, ISSO.
On last kublrtili llm 4:li I'rcsl.v. trrinn
clwrcli wai rp.do lie itfl ; as it lias laio'y
boon lli'irnifjlily renovated nnil re arranged.
This Uilio clmrcli in w hich John (Juiiiey
A'lami worlii'nd Jurin hi amy in lli
ci'y. In thia church U owned pew i
ami uliilo lio was resident of il.e United
Sliiies, e in lliil church were rented ly
cacli rwmU-r of his cabinet, among whom
wcra Henry Clay, Itichard Kush, Joncs
larbour, Win. Wirt, awl John McLean.
Mr. Admin found this aociety atriijf&liiig
to erect a home of worship, near tho White
House. Alili'ili a Unitarian himself,
hn o fir vyn i piii 1 1 i J wiih thn lillln hand,
ful of Presbyterians wliosn niin was lo es
tablish second church in lltitt end of illi
cit y , llm'. he nut only gave them the hole
weight of his influence, but donated fioin
tinis to 1 1110 consi.li'iiiblij sums from li it
own pocket. Tho records show I lint in ad.
litioii to tliu regular church inks Mr.
Allium gave 81500 to that church.
As tlio building was known to contuin
tho pew in which Mr. Adams regularly
worshipped; that his name was tiiiii the
door ; that hii Rible, hymn Look, nn I pew
furniture were in the tamo conditio I c
Iffi thrin ; this church has ofien born vis
ited on tlio Sabbath by a number of ilio
admirers of Mr. Adams who happened to
be in the city at i!io lime, thus adding to
the numbers f tho congregation. Lint
Sabbath, u lulling lo hear tho dedicaliuii
sermon, I went to ihnt church, ami, as in my
custom, lo tho Adams' jich', you may con
coive my astonishment, whin I found thai
tho pew had ken rebuilt ; the mi mo taken
from Unmoor; the old furniture and books
svero removed, and no truces b ft lo desig
nate thij spot muilu sacred by the devotions
of lliu "olJ mail rltiticnl." I iiiiikI confers
that I thought of this act (if Vandalism
with as much anger ns sorrow.
'1'here U liltlj duubl but that tho officia
ry of this church will, ere long, tie lliut
Ihey had ellavrd one of the brightest orna
ments connected wiili their building, and
that eventually they will repent of thin
hasty act. Hut they, whh I lie vestry of
Christ Church, n ill aco that their repent
unco comes too l;iie.
Willi regard lo Christ's Church I have a
similar incident lo rulate, which, though it
happened soino time ago, still humiliates
thoso connected with tho transaction.
This Christ's Church is in Alexandra, Va
about six miles from Washington, and is
said lo In) tho first church erected in this
parly of the country and by Some, is as
serted to ho the second built in America.
Tho biicksyf which it is circled were
brought from Kuglainl, and aro of them
nelvos a curiosity. Its arcliitecluro in that
of two centuries past, and everything con
nected with it tells of the olden times. In
tlhischtirch (ien. Washington occupied one
of tho fr uit and most prominent seals.
The pews were then constructed after the
old at) le sijiiaic, spacious, high-railed,
curtained and cushioned. In that pew Lady
Washington, us Lafayette delighted to siyle
Jier, and there tlio gnllnni I'miclniiitn Intel
set by her side. In the spacious pew the
distinguished vinitoro of Washington had
vvmsliipjiud ; nnJ in that pew the Father
of his Country had howed.
They nssed to their long home; but
tho huiul of lime spared the plucu of their
devotions. Tho inleiior if llio chinch vvns
modernized, but no sacrilegious hand touch
ed this meinoii.il of depaited piety. Tho
old men remembered with pride and lohl
with tremulous voice, how thev had watch
rd ihegrnit depnrted ns ho strode up the
broad isle, and pointed lo ihe coin.r win ro
lie snt, lo ihe llibhi from which h read,
and tho hassock on which ho kneeled. The
grandmothers told of the erect form of his
wife, and showed her prayer book, that
visitors might wo how carefully she had
followed the service. In llmse times thai
ow and its furuituro wns regaided ubove
till the oilier tn nstiirs of the church.
Hut in time the old folks pnssrd aw ay
and their children sat in their plucos. The
church was now rich ; il Imil become the
most fashionable church in the ci:y ; ihe
larga choir had given way to tho quattotl
of professional singers ; the old Kngli.h
lull, wb isd rude clang called tho firm wor
shippers in Virginia to tho house of tlod,
wns removed, and one ol more musical tone
and modern form took its place ; the red
lirick aislrs cro carefully covrr.d ; mid
the old reading desk of KnglNh oak wu
replaced by one of more nioilurn Kliucluie.
Then, an I not till then, it was thnughi that
the old pew was out of place in to fitio s
fhurch; that its liijj'i pn tit ioi o!s.-ured
ihe view: that its curtains were insppro
prisie ; mid moiethati nil, thut it occupied
the room uf three modern pew . S,j the
old pew was voted out of the chuu-h, anrl
now when lint vimitor asks where Washing
ton sat, the setieii "thinks it was ome
where near that window."
I will not cliar;u'triix tint npiiit that j
suited and carried out this improve
ment. I leave that to the country. Hut I
' I will state the fut that thn cburih luiw 1
cVp'y reject th.ir prciipi-ancy. an I Jt
thorn tho justice to any, that could ihey
reclaim the staunch old oak of which the
pw was built.il would b gladly replaced
in its firmer position. Tlw Family Di'de
of Washington, and iho books he ucd in
Church service, are by' gift of their illin
liious owner, Hill in tho keeping of this
Church ; and from the careful manner in
which they aro now preserved, il is evident
that they at least are properly prized.
In this connection let it bo remcmbured
that thoso who nro so forward to sicrt that
gawkies are always ready to sociifico the
beautiful lo the useful, inn) all ihut is grand
to the spirit of tho almigh'y dollar thai
it is to them, to the chivalry of Virginia
America owes U r present disgraceful igno
ranco of lliu spot where tho Futhcr of I i-
Couiitry coirnniined w ith lis Cod ; by
llicir want of reverence for the Great Dead,
wo arc obliged to answer tho European pil
grim to Preeilmns Mecca: "o know
that our Washington prayed aUaya ; but
irifrc, we cannot tell."
In this sumo city is another relic of
Washington, which should bo placed
among tho proudest remains of our coun
try's (.'lory. It is tho flag presented to
Washington by the bravo Lafiyetle. This
flag wuviid oi cr tho lent of Washington
lli'ougb ihe bout of our struggle for inde
pendence. It was blackenrd by powder
nml pierced by ball, aye, and even dyrd by
the blood of our country's defenders. Y( t
the scarred and (altered reuniins of that
ptoud flag aro so little regarded lliut il was
lately bnrnn in the van rf u political t"ich
light procession, and it wns flung to the
Iner.o over the platform of a p"lit:cil
meetitii.'! In other countries, it would be
Iren-ured oniong the crow n jewels. H it I
hope that our Virginia friends w ill learn to
trrnl that flag with greater respect.
Yours, Alpha.
The V.arly Pioneers of the Wrst.
Mr. Finis, in his book on tin creii"
West, thus sketches the character of the
pioneers who began to spread themselves
throughout tho West, between the close of
I'oniiac's war and the commencement oftho
American rcvoluli' u :
The pioneers, living in constant contact
with the Indians, necessarily became more
than half sinuses in appcaiuiice, linbils and
manners ; mid frequently the whole savage
eharncler wus assumed. Their ordinary
dress was too unique to be forgotten. A
coonskincup, with the tail dangling at the
back of ihe neck, and thn unoiil (lioo;iiiig
upon the forehead, long buckskin li ginvs,
sewed with a wide, fringed well, down the
oulside of llm leg ; a long, lianow Mrip of
coarse clot It , passing aiiiuiul the hips and
between the thighs, wk brought up before
and behind under tho belt, and u'ouu lltip.
ping ns ihey walked; a loose, deersk'ii
Irock, open in front, nml hipping onee, nml
n half round tho body, was lulled nlihe
mithlle, forming convenient wallets on
each sitlo fnr chunk nfhoo cake, low, jerk
ed venison, screw drivers, and oilier fixings;
and Indian moccasins completed the hun
ter's niMiaral. Over llio w little were sIuiil'
a bullet pouch and powder horn. Fmm
heliiuil tlio It-Il hip dangled a scalping knife;
from ihe right protruded the handle of a
hatchet; Itolli vveapntis stink in leallieiii
cases. Lvety hunter carried an awl, n
roll of buckshot und strings of hide, called
"whangs," for thread. In llm winter loose
deer hair wos stuffed in the nioccasian to
keep the feet warm.
1 ho pioneers lived in rude log houses,
covered generally, with pieces of timber,
about three feet in Ii !il'Ii nnd six inches
iuwiilih, culled ' ''.shakes, nml over the
roof instead of shingles. Thev had neith
er nails, glass, s.cvs nor btiek. The
house had huge slab doors, pinned whether.
The light came dow n the chimney, i trough
a hole in the logs, covered wiih a greased
chilli. A scraggy hemlock sapliiiL', Un
knots left a fool long, served for n sluii way
lo the upper story. Their furniture con
sisted ol tamarack bedsteads framed i n i
iho wulls, a few shelves supported on long
wooden pins; sometimes n chair or two,
but innro often a piece split oil' a live, und
so trimmed that the brunches served for
legs. Their uIcimIs were very simple ;
generally noiliiut; hm nsk'llel, vvtiieli serv
ed for bukin;, boiling, roasting, washing
italics, making mush, scalding tnikeys,
cooking sassafras lea, snd making soup.
A Jolinry cuke board, instead ufu drippinj;
pan, hung on a peg in every hoiie. The
corn w as cracked into a coatso meal, by
pounding it in a wooden iiioriar. As soon
as swim- could be kept away from the beats,
or, lather, tho bears nwav limn them, ihe
pio'iet rs indulged in a dish of pork mid
coin, boiled loge her, nnd known among
tin in ns "hog nml liominv.'' Fried bacon
they called "old Neil."
I'nlike ihe French, w ho clustered in v ill
ages, and had theircummon li. Ids, our Yan
kee settlers went iho whole) length for in
dividual properly. F.acb settler claimed
for himself four hundred acres of tut, d, and
tho privilege of taking a thousand acres
more, contiguous to iiis clearing. Each
one run out his own lines for him, chipping
the hark otl'ihe trees, nml culling his name
in iho wood. These claims, o loosely ns
scried, were called ''loti'iihawk rights," nml
were respected by all live cmigriint-. Eich
setll. r wont to felling the limkraiid chop
ing house logs, sleeping, meanwhile, under
a bail; cover raised on crotches, or under it
tree. It is said of one of :ln in that I c
coul.l hardly stomach his house, after it
vvs.s done. The door way was opened, the
logs uiichinkeil, ami ihe chinun-V capi-d
wide above him; but the air w ns to-, "cln,"
ho boil to sh rp outsido for a night or
two to get u.ed to it.
