Messrs. Editors : —As I have been a sub scriber to the State Rights Sentinel, from the commencement of its publication, toyhe present time, and as I have never before troubled you up on any subject, you will pardon me I hope, for intruding myself upon you at this time. In your number of the 16th insl. I have discovered an ar ticle, headed Hon. Walter T. Colquitt; in that piece you say. that Judge Colquitt has declared Lirnseil. a thorough-going Van Buren man. You also say that he winds up a good long harangue of devotion to his principles, Ac., rej iete with the Slang, copied from the Van Buren press. Now* gentlemen, will you be **s obliging as to give roar subscribers. ([ mean those living in this section of country a: least.) your notions of Slang ; do you mean the recorded votes of Congress, upon the reception of Abolition petitions, which Judge Colquitt has pool, shed to the country, or his opin ions relative to a United Stiles Bank. Von say, you know that he has suppressed the truth, by giving garbled extracts. Ac. Will you. be so condescending as to give us the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, by publishing the whole of Judge Colquitt’s Circular. I have it before me, and I discover, that he has given the proofs, by which h s assertions are substantiated. But in your article, we oniv have your brcai. and round a-s-rti >ns. unattended with any proof whatever: tor my own part, I do not intend to be so unchari table, as to accuse you of falsehood, or suppress ing truth, but, I shall ever feel bound by every honorable obi; cation, to pi ace the greatest confi dence in favour of that side, which has proof to sustain it; and further. I am personally acquam- j ted with Judge Colquitt, and from what I know ; of his general character, it is the first time I ever ! heard him accused of falsehood. By complying | with the above request, and publishing this letter, vou w.Il greatly oblige a number of the citizens I of this county, together with Your obedient, bumble servant. ALEXANDER J. LAWSON. Georgia Rail-Road. We are gratified to learn that the damage done to the Rail-Road, has been so repaired that the cars will resume their passage at the regular hours after Sunday next. The St. Augustine yews of the 29th uit. says; There is a rumor in town, and generally credited, i that the Indians made an attack on one of the Alachua settlements, on Sunday night last, kill- j ing thirteen families, and the garrison of six men. \ The attack wos made at night, and is represented as a complete rurpri se. Howiaa's Hotel.—The success ofthis estab lishment is, says the N. V. Courier, fully com mensurate w.lh the expectation of Messrs.

These will be found more amply detailed m our advertising columns, to which we particularly re- i quest the attention of our readers. - ■ ■■ - " ■. - For the Chronicle and Sentinel. Me=-:b ; . Editoss: —lt seems that after beir.g j very hard pressed, ard after allowing sufficient 1 time to elapse to concentrate ali the bitterness of his nature, ‘ A hem/KTat" has at last consented to g.ve us the authority upon which he made Lis ! I tell-gryunied assertion*, lint the gentleman i j . qu.-e ns ur.f j.Mr.ate in t is, a» he has been in his , first statements, lib c xplanat.on u far from being satis; ictory, a:. 1 it conies with a very r.a ' gracc. He has not thought proper to allude to the subject, until ah -olotely forced to d, so. His first com munication was entirely upon his own authority— , not conta n.' z even so much as a hint that ..is in- i formation was uc >nd hand. No, he knew in that I shape it might not have the influence it would m 1 the form of a Void assert.or., that implied a per 1 a! knowledge cf what he state!. He, in effect, I pledged himseif for the truth of what he said, and : has betrayed an entire unwillingne-s to make any explanation. After ail, w .at does his letter amount to ; Mere ly that he heard -ome gentleman of the Whig party denounce Mr. Johnston’s as a h trh-toned federal speech, ' —a er'neral charge fr#m which, fjrsooth, he L pleased to draw sundry specif'. r.,n cluiions. Truly, his '“a:>ertions were well-ground ed ' I And he may well console himself with the reflection, that if injustice has been dene,‘A Dem- I ocraV does not plead guilty to the charge of doing | it.” His mode of arguing puls me in mind of a man playing ninepins,—he places his men to suit | himself, knocks them down, and then expresses his ! satisfaction at what a beautiful scattering he has i * made among them. A man may “write him-'lf an , as*” but I think there is much more danger es writing one’s self a knave. “A respect for himself, an 1 a respect for the columns of the Constitutionalist,” induce* him to ; retire upon their joint dignity. He seems desirous not to burden its columns with “personalities ” j A very friendly regard, that. It has been for a long lime carrying an oppressive load of such mat ter, and needs some mode of relief. I think, how ever, that some regard should have been had to that, in the first instance. His ill-natured sneer contained in his play upon ray signature, I consign to the contempt which it deserves. I excuse it, for the gentleman seems a irritated. It shows that he is not destitute of sensibility—that though capaJAe of doing a wrong, he has feeling enough left to be ashamed of it. (The .dea is from Junius.) He quotes from Sir William Draper, byway of winding up with “one grand flourish ” and like that gentleman, seems to have mistaken the re proaches of conscience for the bite of a “riper.” It may be truly said to bite against a “file ” I would advise the gentleman to be cautious of too liberal a use of his “file” it may chance to come in contact with metal of such a temperas to destroy its rapping qualities. As he has given me to understand that this is positively hi* last, al ow me to bid him a respectful farewell, hoping that he may derive some benefit from the few lessons which he has lately had, by adding something to his prudence. Bob Short, Jr, June Sth, 1840. From the Richmond Whig. “ Selling White Alen for Debt.” Seethe article in another column touching the letter of the Editor of the Enquirer, written to a gentleman in Westmoreland, pronouncing the charge against General Harrison of having voted to sell white men for debt, false and unjust. The letter was not probably designed to come to the knowledge of the public. We infer this from two circumstances —one from the inability of the gentleman to whom it was written, to find it; and the other and more significant one, the stu died refusals of the Editor to make the same con cessions in his paper which he has made in pri vate. The public mast judge of the candor and fair dealing of an editor, who, to advance his par ly and injure an opponent,is willing to profit by a charge, which he knows to be false, and which, in a letter to a political friend. speaking his honest convictions, he has pronounced to be false. There is a peculiarity about this slander against General Harrison, which deserves a passing no tice. There is none which has been more relied upon by the Demagogues to deceive the people, an i yet we have never heard of the leaders—one pretending to he a gentleman—who would in public p'-ofess to attach the slightest importance to it. When Whig speaker* have exposed its fal sity before the people, the Feds have invariably, so far as our information extends, taken no no tice of it, or professed a total igno-ancc that such a charge had ever been made. Some, os in the rase of Mr, Taylor, the Federal E;.?«nor tor the Rockbridge District, have had the magnanimity to progaunce it false.—But this is very rare. In the meantime, however, the pot-house politicians have every where, in grogshops and comer, been unwearied in pressing this ba-e calumnv upon tae uninformed portion of the people. Bat it has had its day, and what of it is left will be pretty will annihilated by.the fact, that the •‘sink or swim*' Editor of the Enquirer has, in the Enquirer in a letter to a Federal friend, con.essed that it was destitute of truth and jus tice. From the Richmon-i IVkfg. To the Public. The correctness of a statement male in a let ter to the Editors of the Richmond Whig a short time since over ihe signature of * Westmore land. having been called in question in an ad joining county, a ««?n«e of duty to ravself as well as to the gentleman a!lu led to in that communi cation, renders it necessary that I suould state as briefly as possible the circumstance* which led to , the conversation, of which a part is g ; ven in that commanciatioa. It was stated in N’orthcumber land County, just previ us to the late elections, that Dr. J. IS*. Powell, of th.s countv. had re ceived a letter from the Editor of the Enquirer, in which he (the EJitor) had repud.ated the cha'ge preferred against Gen. Harrison of Laving voted to sell white men for debt, and in which he also remarked that the Administration Fartv ought not to urge it any further against the Gen eral. However, in consequence of some unac countable misapprehension, the Doctor was in formed, by a young gentleman, that u had been reported in Northcamberlind that he had received a letter from Mr. Ritchie tn which he (Mr. R.) acquitted Gen. Harrison of the charge of Aboli j tionism. Now this charge, although less plausible, if possible than the other, was a tat ente •* humbug’* which the Administration party were determined not to give up so peaceably ; and. therefore, the worthy Doctor, although a most estimable man, and personally ray friend and associate, is unfor tunately. a ** patent, democratic, slate-right, op to-the-hub Loco Foco. ‘dyed in the woo!,’ anJ a* such, of coarse, felt no disposition to allow the old General the benefit of his admission. But unfortunately for his pariy, in his anxiety to ac quit himself, and his friend Mr. Ritchie of ar.v such Laudable intention towards Gen Harmon, he admitted the truth of the statement which had. in reality, been made in N'onhcumber lard to wit: “That he had received a Utter fro n Mr, Ritchie, in which he stated that the charge of having voted to sell white men for d- bl sra Munirue” &.c. I was very particular in no ting the language at the lime, and feel confident that I have given it vert>aura. in the art.de sign ed u Wcstaiore and,’ I know I uave given it m substance. The correspondence hereto annexed shows that the Doctor used rubsianiiaLy the same language to the ••'.her gentleman, and, there fore. that there can be no mistake about it. Os the actual content* of Mr. Ritchie’s lelte I could not. nor d.» I pretend to speak, although very much suspect the language used in it, i much stronger than the party would like to bea —my object is simply to prove to the people o this an 1 the adjoining counties, that “ A genus man ol the \an Buren party, and a member t the Van Buren Convention,” did Use, tub*tan I holly, the language imputed to him in the articl ' signed “Westmoreland.'’ Now I have beard i ' reported that certain ** Simon Fares” had sai> that they would neither believe me or the D r['j himself, if he should come out and posiiivth assert that he h id such a letter, therefore, I hav thought proper W annex the sur-joincd corre-q an dence, with the hope that, taken irv conuectioi with my humbie testimony, and the Doctor’s aa missions, it might serve to remove their doubu I hope they will now be satisfied. I will here remark, that on the 25th instant, addrc*sed a note to Doctor Powell, requesting copy of the letter iclerrcd to, but it was unf j- Innately out of place, and cuuki not be found 6 the time. The Doctor a:>out that lime was evi dently in a slate of political* 4 mystification," an replied in a very lengthy letter a!»out matter and things i« general, and among other thing says be has such a let'er in his possession, but ba not seen it frr twelve months. Now, there ar sundry per* .ns in these [ arts who have been ‘s: ting on a rail!’ for some time past, and bavin heard of the very decided etfect whica said letle had upon the Doctor, would, no doubt, be ver much obliged to him for a peep into it. Perhap | it might cause them to jump down on the rigl side; at any rate, it would relieve the poor fellow from a very awkward situation. It certain 1 made a very deep impression upon the Doctor' mind, an ! must have satisfied him thoroughly c the utter falsity of the charge; for I will do hir the justice to say that although twelve lon months hate passed away since his eyes wer with the sight of th.s precious documen and the Administration party have been swef by the board from Maine to Louisiana, yet ha he been silent upon this subject; and I will d him the justice to say that I have never heard hit urge this charge against the old General, c.thf in public or private controversy—but on thecor trary. when some of his party had the hardiboo to use it, just previous to the late elections, an were endeavoring to impose upon the ignorai and credulous, that h n denounced it as a mea: and pitiful device, and one to which, as a genth man, he would never resort, I must confess the in those days I had strong hapes of the Doctor hut, alas! he has become a “kinked’’ politicia again. “ Ephraim is joined iu his idols,” an there is no chance of reclaiming him. It is here proper to remark that I would nc have the public suppose for an instant, that D Powell had denied the t-uth of what is containe in the following correspondence, as its annexatio hereto might at first sight seem to imply; on tl. contrary, in the letter to which I have alludec he admits the truth of what is contained in th correspondence, which is substantially the san contained in the article signed “Westmoreland. But as the Doctor, no doubt with the very be: intentions, thought proper to read me a homii up m other political matters, having no connexio whatever with this question, I have not though : proper to edify the public with his letter. The the Doctor has, or had, twelve months ago, sue a letter, he does not pre end to deny—and thi he told others, as well as myself, that Mr. Ritch had acquitted Gen. Harrison of the charge i ■ shamefully* and basely preferred against him, proved by the subsequent correspondence. I deem it unnecessary to say any thing furth« * upon this subject at present, but will wait p t ■ tiently until the Doctor, in his search after truti shall have brought forth this very desirable an satisfactory document. Many a gem lies hid i the very bottom of much useless and unprofitab' matter—and therefore, for the sake of faciiitat’m the Doctor’s labors, I would suggest the proprit ty of his beginning at the very bottom of h “mass of evidence,” as be may accidentally hav covered up this pearl of great prize with ll “conclusive evidence” of Gen. Harrison’s Abol tionism , Federalism, Bankism, and the thousar. other isms which he urge* so furiously aga.nst ! the old Hero. Os une thin?, however, I feel confident, that shosjirf he be fortunate enough to find the letter and give it another careful perusal, he will never use the charge against the old Gen'l, although he now boldly threatens to write lot* of “commenta ries," and make "Democratic capital" oat of it if the rascally Whigs do not keep quiet- 44 Our army swore terribly in Flanders.” Dear Doctor, * don’t use this charge, for I tell you as a friend, that you will be “going to war with a shilling pamphlet against a hundred ships in commission.*’ as a celebrated statesman once said.

On the 2Slh and in the fall of 1?36 she united herscif to the Methodist fcipiscopal Church, of which she lived and died an acceptai ie member ; and although from her timidity never made a loud profession, yet Hie uniform consistency of her life, and the assurances of her last days, afford much comfort to her bereft friends —they “sorrow not as those who have no hope/’ As a daughter, she was dutiful—as a «ister, lov ing and much be.oved —as a wife, prudent and kind, in whose advice her beloved husband always sou: d safety ; —as a mother, she was devoted —as a mis tress, feeiing ami in ;u gcnt —as a friend and neigh bor, her attachment wa> strong; and to the poor, the needy and aiSiclcd, it was ever her delight to administer. >he ha* left a disconsolate husband, one son and two daughters, together with many dear relatives, to lament their seeming untimely loss. In the community a vacuum has beer form ed, which will never be filled.
