TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL,
But particularly to the Citizens of Edgefield
Di/trid,
HAVING had my char-after, hafely and
malignantly traduced hy Ct J. Bark’y Mar
tin id Edgefield Difii ift, and feme of his in.
♦imatefriends, I feci bound in justice to mv
fd|, and my friends, to trouble the public
■ with a concifc ft.itcr.cnt, and feme ncccflbry
affidavits. To exculpate my charafter from
the poi(Vinous tongue cf (lander, to those who
have been eye-witnefles of the perils, fat
igues nrd even blood (bed, which I have
f offered in defence of my country, in which
I ctnha iked before I was feventcen years of
age, and in which I continued until 1 was
wcundcd, or to ;hofe rtfpeftahle men, who
j have been confhnt fpeilators of my private
and public condcft, since that period, would
be entirely unneccflary. Ihe trouble which
I stow beg leave to give my fellow citizens,
in reading this fiatcincnt, and the subjoin
ed affidavits, rnnft find its apology in that
rrfpsciability , credit and influence to which
Col. Martin ban attained, in t(te efiimation
iof many people,-*-Or in oilier words, a man
who like him, has made an open picStffion
of the chriftian religion, and who has been
once eUftctl from his diltrift to represent it
in the fiatc legill.iturc, and slanders or at
tempts to llande/ a feilow citizen, will find
some men ready to believe his infinnations,
however unfounded or malicious they mav
he. Thii man has thus flandcred me, before
. the public —Will nor the hllc then hear me,
vvhiitl I refute such (landers f
Sometime towards the latter end cf Juno,
in Martin-Town, Edgefield Dill rift, in a
company of men, In which were Colonel
Martin, M« r fn«d Martin, lb icon Mims,
Mat. Mims and John Key, all particular
friends of Col. Marlin, except the la tier*
Briton Mims audibly madeufeof thefc words,
or WrtthifiiMiaerially the fame (viz.) (l Jer.

M.rfia! Martin don’t yon hionvit to hr Jo ?"
MarjhilMartin replied “ / have heardfo.”
| Mi.usfaid Cl dirt’ t you believe it to be Jo?"
Martm again replied / do.— And then
made mention of the name of George Mar
tin.—Colonel Martin immediately cbferved
that ** and I feared" or “ Ifeared John
Lyon so , that he could have crept through an
anger hole, lafi eleflion.” It is a fait well
known, that Lyon is not only a friend of
mine, but we have, 1 believe uniformly lup.
ported the fame candidates at elcftions among
which Col. Martin had never a placj, nltho'
he has offered himfoW at a number of electi
ons. But to proceed.—This report mcnii.
oned by Mima and fanftionrd by the compa
ny, general! v, wr.s not confined to the men
composing this company. The rancor of
party spirit had spread it far and wide s—in5 —in
other companies, among other men, and in
other places 1 In a fiiort rime however, per
haps but a lew days afterwaids, 1 fell in
company with Col. Martin at Hornes-creck
Mceting-Houfe, where a large company of
people had met together for the purpose of'
public worship. Col. Mattin offered me his
hand, to [hake hands.— Having heard of the
above report, which 1 viewed as complete
ly functioned by him, whan he, and perhaps
all persons in this dinritt during the war
kneiu it to befalfe ,- for the manner in which
I was wounded was a matter of great noto
riety ; I refufed the Col. my hand, declar
ing that “ I never will give jon my hand
until that business is fettled," and further
dating “ Cal. Martin, were you not pre
sent ami heard Briton Mims fay that I had
my leg foot off in the aft offcahr.g Burney’s
h'jrjcty out of b;s horfe.pen, hy the vepfo or
6-verJter, and cell uptn Marjhal Martin to
certify it ?" Martin replied u you told me
foyou flf," I madeanfwer “ 1 never did"
Martin replied again “ you did fir” I again
•nfwered “ I never did ; would I have tol'd
a scandalous lie upon myfelf ?" The con
versation became loud by Martin’s faying
“y ou did and 1 will swear it." I 1 hen an
swered “ you will then (wear an infernal
lit." Fie replied “ I will swear it, and
prove it by Marffial Martin." I perfified
in contradicting him.—When the converfa
fion became so warm and myfeif so irritated
that 1 pretend not to rccolleft it difiinfllj.
He then abulcd me by apply ing to me the
most low, and unmanly epithet?, such as
that, I was bcreaih his notice , and a mean
low-lifed, worthiefs puppy. He mention
ed that his hands were tied and I knew it,
or that he w Quid hsvc fir.mped me long ago.
H 5 then mounted hishorffi after which he toid
me, not to give him the lie again, or he would
get down and do it then. 1 told him if he
(aid that 1 had told him, that uy leg was
(hot cfFin theThar.net represented above, that
it was a falfity of a lie, —He thengott ff his
horse, and advanced towards me, fcvcral
people catching at him to step, him, from
all of whom he broke loose, and came up in
a striking pofuion and (truck at me, atora
bout which time, I (truck him over the head
with my umbrella, we were then feperated.

health, and remained at the deponent's un
til the following night, at which time they
all lay down in one house together* with
an intention to take their rest; Some time
in the night Jones spoke to the deponent,
and said, “yonder they come.” The de
ponent looking through the logs ohferved a
party of men afmed, and appeared to be in
British uniform. They came round to the
door, when Jones leaning against the door,
and ordered them to furrcnclur—J :nea repli,
