Jackson's Law Office.—The Salisbury, North Carolina, correspondent of the Gazette writes:

"Near the center of Salisbury, on the grounds of Judge Boyden, stands an office where Andrew Jackson once studied law. It is a little frame building about ten feet square, standing on a line with the pavement, with its gable end to the street. A small board shutter covers the only window, and the low door opens into the yard at the side. It is painted red, but looks very dingy now. The soldiers have torn half of one side off as mementoes. It is a strange object, and well calculated to arrest the attention of the stranger, standing as it does almost a ruin directly in front of a large mansion surrounded with extensive grounds, both well shaded and filled with choice shrubbery."

Near the center of Salisbury, on the grounds of Judge Boyden, stands an office where Andrew Jackson once studied law. It is a little frame building about ten feet square, standing on a line with the pavement, with its gable end to the street. A small board shutter covers the only window, and the low door opens into the yard at the side. It is painted red, but looks very dingy now. The soldiers have torn half of one side off as mementoes. It is a strange object, and well calculated to arrest the attention of the stranger, standing as it does almost a ruin directly in front of a large mansion surrounded with extensive grounds, both well shaded and filled with choice shrubbery.
