TUGS. COLLIER.
Lcuifville, June 26, 1802.
GENERAL JACKSON has
been much furprifed at the
fight of a publication in the
Augufia Herald of the 23d In ft.
figned Ralph Spence Philips,
containing a narrative of the
affair of honor between him and
Col. Watkins, of the 18 th.
Publications on fuch occafions
are always beft avoided, but
when interred, ought never to
be fo exnurte. The principal
or fccond on the other fide,
ought, as jufticc requires, to
have a mutual examination and
correction, errors or im
proper expreflions might not
creep in to rip up old fores, and
difturb exiftmg harmony, the
foundation whereof may be but
bftrcly laid. The General, al
though on a languifhing bed,
feels himfelf more jiurt than by
the wound he lias received, by
an expreffon of Mr. Philips’s,
tc that in conformity. to the
pofitive ir.fmiCtions which he
had received, arrangements were
made to meet the General on
his own ground, accordingly the
place was fixed in Burke
County, on the main road lead
ing from Louifvilic to Wavnef
borough, about 24 miles from
the former, and one from the
latter.” The General is at a
lofs to know how this could be
called or underlined as the Ge
neral’s own ground—he declares'
that he does not own one foot of
land in the county, and it is well
known, that in the vicinity of
Wayne (borough, Col. Watkins
has as many friends as the Gene
ral. if, as Mr. Philips obferves
he propofed, it had Lu en agreed
to be half way between their
refpeftivc icfKienccs, the meet
ing muff have taken place
at the lower end of Scnvera
County, for the General’s nTi
dcnce is Chatham, and Col,
Watkins’s Richmond County ;
this would have been worfc for
the Colonel as to f/tuation, in
cafe of the General’s death. In
JtfTcrfon, the General has a
plantation, but no refidence—
not even a dwelling houfe on
that plantation i nothing but a
bare temporary dwelling made
of his cotton houfe in Summer.
But the Col. had made Louif
vide his own ground by giving
the challenge there, and the Ge
neral by all the rules of honor,
could have confined him to
that ground. Thefe observa
tions ought be extended, but a
wifh to prevent the fcer.cs too
often exhibited to view for
the peace and happinefs of
two amiable females, and their
infant families, from being a£ei
over again, forbids it.—We
need go no further to prove the
impropriety of a publication a";
all. Mr. Philips has called 00
me to correct any part of h;n
relation ; I wifh to impute no
improper motives to that gen
tleman from his publication.-—'
After the affair of the 13th was
over, and General oa
his bed at Carter’s, 1 afkcd Mr.
Philips if it were intended to
