And surely as look at his fine plan ] fation, his well housed and happy negroes, his ilourishing fields of grain, his aOcks of sheep, and see him in his old age. though stretched upon the bed, there nOurishing his mind with books, aud amusing his idle hours, which else would hang heavy upon him, cannot but think he is enjoying the true OtiMm cum digni- tnte, and realizing the picture Ofa happy old age that Cicero has so touchingly and beauti- fully described-thus adding to the character of the statesman and the patriot that of the philosopher.

 I have said Mir. Madison has yet other aids for the enjoyment of happy old age than Cicero speaks of. Added to his own resOur ces. his own house and plantation, he has for a companion, his wife, a lady who even now well sustains her old reputation, that of being the most accomplished woman in America.- With such companion he ever has society. interest and conversation by his own bed side. The picture of domestic enjoyment they now exhibit, is one of the most attractive ever witnessed. How sweet must even old age be when thus softened and watched over How glorious and good the life of man after such services, ending thus. with such com paniOn to administer to his wants and eom- fnrt The fame Mir. Madison has won, the glory he 6eqneaths to pesterity, and the bright pages which his name is tO occupy in his country's story, are, after all, not of so much worth to him as the possession of such wife.

 Mr. Randolph ef fRoanoke.-We understand that the will of MT. R. was not presented for probate at !he last Charlotte Court. AsJudge Tucker was not present, Mr. Wm. Leigh de- clined opening the will, which was left in his possession by MT. R. 6efore he went to Rus- sia. As his papers have not yet been ran- sacked, it is impossible to say whether he has left a later one behind him.

 A schedule has been taken of his slaves and horses by his steward, since his death-frOm which 1t appears. that he was in possession of SIS slaves. and 180 horses-of which about l2O are blood horses.

 Mr. B. w. Leigh denies the report that MT. R. requested of him to write his life-but the public have looked to him, or to Judge Hen ry St. George Tucker, for a collection oe the dence-along with a biographical sketch of this distinguished man.-Rickmond Eng. :

 BlGck Hatpk.--Ye estcrday, this Western warrior and suite arrived in tOwn and took lodgings at Congress Hall. They appeared gratified with their journey, and were friend. ly and alfable to those around them. When theprocession passed along Third-street. Op- pOsite Congress Hall, the Indians were sta- toned at the windows to observe and admire this display of American strength. Black Hawk and his friends leaned upon the win dow, and looked down upon the dense mass below with interest, but not with an1azement. His eye ran along the almost interminable line of military. as if measuring its strength and nuuhcrs, and rested with obvious delight upon their splendid equipments. Tue crowd which had increased to a tremendous extent, gaze duppn the singular array at the windows with silent curiosity and at length, Black Hawk, observing this, signided his desire to make a speech.

 Black Hawk, :" said the old warrior, :. once thought he could conquer the whites. His heart grew bitter, and his hand strong. He unburied the tOmahawk; and he led his peO- pie to fight. He fought hard. He was no coward. He spilled much blood. But the white men were mighty. They were many as the leaves of the forest and Black Hawk and his people failed. He was sorry that the tOnahawk had been raised. He had been a prisoner. He saw the strength of the white men. They were very many. The Indians are but few. They are now cowards-they are brave-6ut they are few. He was very sorry that they had gone to war. While the Great Spirit above kand he pointed on high) kept his heart as it now was. he would be the friend of the white man. He would remain in peace. He would go to his people and speak good of the white man. He would tell them they were as the leaves of the forest- very many--very strOng-and he would tight no more. Black Hawk is the white mans friend."

 They remained at the window until the pa rade had passed. and then retired to their apartments. Philad. InteN. 4...

 Black Ha,ok and his Party.-The time of these sons of the forest are so much occupied that they can have hardly time to eat or sleep. The pressing solicitations to visit all public places are SO numerous that they cannot all be accepted; besides these there are num- Der of gentlemen solicitons to show them our public institutions; there is also constant crowd of all classes surrOunding the house de- sirOus Of an Opportunity 0f seeing them. Pol- ished men in civilized lile could not manifest a greater disposition to oblige them than these personages. They go tO almost all places of amusements and while at home permit their rooms to be Rlled by the multitude who are { in waiting to see them. We have seldom seen a more interesting person than Black 1 Hawk. He appears to be about 70 years ol | age. shakes hands cordially with all who of. ] fer him'the hand; his coantenanee is perfect. l ly mild and placid. and his whole appearance 1 Is that of great respecta ablIity--sO sNuch SC
