'We copy into this paper, from the ' Washington Union," a Communication connected with the histo ry of North Carolina, daring the ReTolation. We do this as an act of justice to the memory. of one of the most gallant spirits that erer fought and Wed in de fence of his country's cause. How the Editors of the National Intelligencer,' who are so . attached to North Carolina, and so eonrersant with its history; should hare permitted such a libel on the memory of a true. Patriot to find a place in its columns, as is con tained in the subjoined extract from their paper of the 1st Inst, we can only account for, by supposing, what we haTe no doubt is the act, that the article was in sorted without the knowledge of the Editor. And our confidence ia them is such, that we. are certain that the moment their attention is drawn to this mat ter, they win at once relieve tbemselTea from the im putation of conniring eTen at any attempt to pluck the laurels from the brow of a glorious old soldier.

Now, history. we saw, afibrded no means of clearing: up the facts concerning Jo Graham, inasmuch as that negligent Muse, Clio, has never given herself the slightest thought of rescuing the deeds, and even the " red coat and white small clothes" of the puiarant Jo from un merited oblivion. They say et least Horace says that she was quite in the habit of treating great men so, before Agamemnon's day : ' - V ix ere fortes ante Agameranona Multi: sed omnes Qlacryinabiles Urgentur, ignotique longa ' Nocte, carent quia Tate sacra. - As to Jo Graham, therefore, we had no hope of ma king the Muse and the midwife correct and check each ether's fabiee.

THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, AND THE REVOLUTIONARY LEGENDS OF NORTH CAROLINA The National Intelligencer of Aujrust 1st, under the head of Revolutionary Legends," contains an edi torial critique upon an article in the Union" of July 11th, entitled M Sketches of the revolutionary War in North Carolina f to notice a part of which I mast request a bnef space In your paper. The mdividna; now addressioz you had no agency in the preparation of these sketches, nor any knowledge that such a pub lication had been made, or was intended, until a day or two before the appearance of the Intelligencer's remarks opoa it. , It may be proper further to add, that, although a subscriber and constant reader of the Intelligencer, he is not that subscriber who desired a republication of them in its columns. Ner does he take any exception to its declaration that they are devoid of interest. But feeling a natural concern in the fame of the person who is the subject of the first of the sketches, and with whose services and suffer ings in the cause of the country, at the darkest peri od of the war ia the South, the Intelligencer is pleas ed wantonly to trifle very much to the amusement at least of the editors he is constrained to interpose, not merely to assert the truth of history, but to repel such gross and causeless injustice. ' These sketches purport to be narratives derived from n matron eighty-five years of age, now living in the rieieity of Charlotte, in Mecklenburg county, who is denominated by the writer M Aunt busy, and whose family name appears to be Alexander. And it may be remembered by your readers, that one of them refers to the retuge (as is alleged) f the fami ly of General Jacksea (then in his boyhood) at the house of this old lady's father, about the time of the British invasion of North Carolina ; and the other, to the soccer and relief afibrded by herself and her mo ther to Joseph Graham, aa officer who had fought under Coi.

Ail this is done, as the critique declares, according to the most approved rules of hsfterical criticism," with great seal for trulh," and after a professed ex aminauon or the entire history of that period.
