wife. The facts are, tjpt on the night ot the
review*, she and myself, by accident, happened
at a tax ern among a company oi young people,
who were amusing themselves; and, for the
sport of the company, and without any serious
intention either on her part or on mine, a mar
riage ceremony was said, which I have since
been informed she intends to regard as legal and
binding, and which she did not so regard at the
time, as I can prove satisfactorily. I therefore
caution all persons against trusting her on my
account, or with a hope of making me respon
sible for her debts, as she is not my wife, and I
will never nay’ one cent of debt oi her contract

j>lt is very difficult, says Maj. Noah to re
vive a defunct peerage in Great Britain. Ap
plicants are most narrowly watched and closely
scrutinized. A man by the name of Crawford
claimed the Crawford peerage; was arrested and
tried for having returned from transportation
before his time had expired. He was acquitted
for want of identity. We shall next hear oi ;

Paine as a Judge, on the Trial of Louis ,
XVI.
The last number of the North American has
a vigorous and instructive article on the life and
writings of Tom Paine, from which the follow
ing extract describes his share in the trial ot the
King of France:
“Charles the First had a trial before the only
peers that can try a faithless monarch, his own
otlended countrymen. The French Convention
was a mob on a small scale. Englishmen sat
as jurors to try the English King. The French
inquest was a sort ot tales not even de circwmstan
tibus, not ot the body of the country. Judges •
were summoned from abroad, like Paine, Ana- 1
charsis Clootz, and others, and made citizens for •
the nonce and by wholesale naturalization, if
not citizens by mere force of republican sympa- •
“On the test vote in the Convention, Paine’s 1
voice was for mercy, and what he calls his i
speech in favor of banishment to the United
States, is preserved in his printed works. What <
a dismal scene was that ot the night session oi <
the 15th of January, 1790, and what thoughts ’
must have crowded into the mindot Paine as, •
with the fresh recollections ot the past, he look- J
ed around him! It was in the same Paris whith- i
er he had first come some eleven years before,
to invoke sympathy lor America, and where he j
had been so warmly welcomed. Before him, 1
during the days of the trial, sat the monarch <
who generously supplied the aid America had '
solicited, now attainted, and about to be sacri- <■
fired. Where was the brilliant court which /
Laurens had importuned, where the white flag K
which had floated before the entrenchments of t
Yorktown, where Lafayette, the Lamottes, 1
Chastelleux, Rochambeau, De Estaing, De c
Grasse ? All gone to death or banishment; the \
scene was changed; there were new actors and }
a bloody ceremonial. Seven hundred and forty- '
nine judges were uttering the words of doom on j
innocence. During all one night, and the fol- s
lowing dav the polling of this dread jury cont in- (
ued. There was to be heard the hoarse emphatic <
tones ot the Jacobin, remorselessly pronouncing (
his bloody opinion; the hesitating whisper of the ‘
Girondist, taking eternal wo upon his soul for «
a false judgment; the “sans phras" ot Paine’s i
friend and fellow-constitution monger; the doubt- s
ing vote of banishment from Paine's lips, fol- ]
lowed by execrations and sneers from those who <
had imported him for sterner uses; and, last i
and worst cf all, the hollow voice oi an apostate
Prince, decreeing death to one whose blood was I
kindred to his own ; all these, in quick succes- :
sion, were the incidents of that night and day ; |
and vet Paine lived through it, and meditated on i
it afterwards without remorse, or without any 1
thought but that this was the rightful effect of <
theories that were destined to triumph; and ;
though lie shrunk from being himself the but
cher, he could in his.old age look back upon the
bloody actors in these scenes, and praise them t
as the wise and good. ‘ 1
“Paine was soon to taste the poisoned cup of /
revolutionary excess, and his subsequent career i
affords a curious comment on his usurped lune- !
tions of a citizen judge. He was, as we have ;
stated, naturalized, or M. Thier s phrase, “elect
ed a citizen,” on his arrival in F rance, and
qualified by this process to take his seat in the
Convention. He was then made one ot the
philosophic triumvirate with Sieyes and Con
dorcet, to prepare the plan of a Constitution.—
iknacharsis Clootz and himself were the only
two transmuted foreigners in the Convention.
On the fall of the Gironde, in order probably to
get rid ot them, a decree was passsed expelling
all who were not natives of France. The next
day, by a natural transition, they found their
way’ to the cells of Luxembourg. I’he next
step was to a revolutionary distinction to which
Paine did not aspire, and, in his reasonable ter
ror at the thought of death, he applied to Gouv
erneur Morris to obtain his release as an Ame
rican citizen. But, with the honors oi French
citizenship, he had assumed its responsibilities,
and the Minister of Justice very peremptorily
replied to that effect to Mr. Morris s interces
sion. In vain did Paine argue in favor of in
defeasible allegiance; in vain did he assert that,
having once become an American citizen, he
could not be renounced as such; the language
was too subtle for Robespierre and Fouquier
Tinville, and could not unkek the prison doors.
Besides, if allegiance were thus inalienable,
England had a sort of pre-emption right in him;
for within her realm he had been born, and
thither he had once voluntarily returned. For
eleven months, throughout the whole Reign ot
Terror, did he remain a prisoner in the Lux
embourg.
/‘How he escaped the wholesale mdiscnmi
nafe slaughter of that awful period has never
bee i precisely ascertained. Mr. Morris attri
butes it to the contempt into which he had sunk,
and Paine ace >unte for it by tlje mistake of the
jailer in marking the cells of the condemned; a
mistake which could scarcely have occurred
unless the jailer was as drunk as the prisoner
generally was. Heraut de Sechelles, Anachar
sis Clootz, and Lebon of Arras, his immediate
companions in captivity, went, one after anoth
er, to the guillotine. One hundred and sixty in
one day and night, were taken from the Lux
giqbourg and condemned; yet the destroying
angel passed by him. He escaped till the revo
lution of the Sth Thermidor, and the fall ot Ro
bespierre, when the prisons were opened, and
Paine, with a few other survivors, worn out by
disease and distrsss of mind and body, was set
at liberty.
“But what were the fruits of his captivity, the
meditations he had had in his solitaiy cell, and
how did he manifest his gratitude for the almost
miraculous interposition of a mercilul Provi
dence in his behaLl Immediately pn his re
lease, or a< soon after he could digest and put
on paper the thoughts and speculations.that had
been germinating in his mind, he published the
second part of his “Age oi Reason;” the first
part of which had been published after his arri
val in France, and immedia ely befo.e his in
carceration. Finding h' ascii in danger ot ar
rest, and surmising how quick might be the
transition from the prison to the scaffold, he
hastened to complete his work, so that, in case
oi his death, it might be left ?s his lart and most
precious legacy. It was dated in the Luxem
bourg, in January, old style, 1794, (Sth Pluvi
ose.) The second part is dated October, 1795.
“This volume, the hornbook ot vulgar infidel
ity, is now before us, and we have doubted now
how far we ought to refer to it, or what use to
make of it. It has passed utterly out ot the
world’s thoughts, and we have a repugnance,
not easily to be overcome, in bringing it to the
light again. Its blasphemies are enough to
sicken the heart: but still it may not be useless,
in one view, to show the Christian Reader to
what dregs infidelity, beginning with refinement
and high bred speculation, will at last come.”
Names and Things.—The Locofbcos, with
out the slightest regard to propriety of speech
call themselves “Democrats.” A similar an
tagonism between things and their names is oi
quite frequent occurrence. The most cowardly
and lubberly man we ever saw was called “Han
nibal,” and the most unquestionably ugly thing
ever seen is a negro woman who rejoices in the
name of “Venus.” Jpst think of such discrep
ancies’. The name of Hannibal .connected with
cowardice, that of Venus with ugliness, and
that of Democracy with Locofocolsm! — Louis

From the Southern Cultivator.
» Wilkes Colntv, Ga., July 17, 1843.
Messrs. Jones—l again address myself to my
brother farmers, and would like, if 1 could call
their attention to several things of importance
to them which, I fear, are often neglected.
Ist. The importance of taking better care of
their stock. I think after the severe lesson they
learned last winter, they will see the necessity
of providing more and better provisions for
their stock than has heretofore been customary.
Every farmer should have comfortable shelters
for all kinds of stock, and provender enough to
keep them not only alive but in good order. —
Shelters for cattle should face the south, and be
boanled up on the ends and on the north; the
roof should slant to the north, so that the cattle
may get the benefit ot the sun. There should
be a ditch cut large enough lor the rain to run
off. Salt should always be kept in reach of the
cattle, so that they can get at it as often as they
want. A good mixture for cows is, half salt
and half ashes.
2d. Farmers should make all the manure they
can. They should save everything —soapsuds,
ashes, chamber ley, dish-water, dead animals,
lea-es, hair, and every thing that can possibly
be made into manure. It should be applied to
the land every year if possible, and it is better
to manure one acre well, than five poorly and
sparingly.
3d. TAc Cullivnlion of Corn. — 1 should like
to see a discussion tn your paper in regard to
this subject. I think the old system of cul
ture may be greatly improved, as I am ot
opinion it should not be plowed deep, if at
all, after it becomes breast high. Plowing at
this time cuts the roots, thus forcing the plant
to form new ones, and of course checking the
growth. I hope your subscribers will give
their opinions on this subject, as it is one which
calls for discussion, and as almost every one
has a different way of cultivating this plant. I
will close by saying thatnuznwe is the sheet an
choret the farmer.
I remain your friend, A. O
From the Southern Cultivator.
THE IMPROVED CULTURE OF COTTON.
Messrs. Editors —In looking over the 2d No.
of your very neat and most excellent Southern
Cultivator, a few days since, I observed an ex- ,
tract from a paper of mine, “upon the Improv
ed Culture of Cotton,” taken from the Albany
Cultivator, of February last. At your permis- ■
sion, gentlemen, I avail myself of the earliest
leisure moment from the duties of my profes
sion, to correct a most erroneous impression, J
which I conceive that extract, in its present iso- '
lated position, is calculated Io make upon the
minds of your numerous readers. That ex
tract, embracing as it does simply the modus
operand! of the system of culture by which my
cotton was grown the last year, which, together ,
with the caption— “ How to make a large Colton
Crop”— placed this improvement, and my ob- j
ject in the time, labor and trouble sacrificed in ,
its accomplishment, in rather a ridiculous light .
before the sober and reflecting planter. Such j
planters, and their influence is beginning to be ,
tell in our country, are disposed to look upon
and hail the appearance ol the Southern Culti
vator, as the harbinger of better days than those ;
of the 'midlicaulis, mmlltbolis, and fancy stock
humbug, the pestiferous influence of which has
swept over our land like an Egyptian blight. 1
Such men are the patrons of light and know- ’
ledge in agriculture, they reason from cause to ’
effect; give them the truth, tue simple and
whole truth, with all the conditions ot any im- ‘
provement, and they act upon the impulse of a ’
wise and proper reflection. Their primary ob- j
ject is improvement, their view’s are liberal, ,
and their motives patriotic. Thus in the exer- 1
ctse of a purely unsophisticated judgment, in 1
determining the merits ot a great national agri- ‘
cultural improvement, however brilliant the '
success in the end accomplished. They coolly '
and dispassionately take up the premises, and
if they discover there a deep laid and broad ba
sis, sufficiently immoveable to sustain the su
perstructure, though infinitely beyond the ken '
of even previous imagination, they will accord
to it a most cordial approval. There is a pre
sumptive evidence, at least, which the mind o
the honest and generous hearted planter recogni-f
zes in the fact, that science is the governing
principle here, the improvements oi which upon
the destiny of man, within the last half century,
have accomplished more than all the brute force
of the previous fifty centt.ries of the world’s
age.
Do not suppose me, gentlemen, ambitious to
secure the precipitate credulity of a single plan
ter, in the advantages of this improvement; ali ‘
that is asked for it is, an attentive and patient
hearing antfa fair trial; to such planter reward !
is certain, and to such only. In collecting and
grouping together these leading principles in the
science of agriculture, so prominently and ad
mirable held forth by Davy, Liebig, and the
Cultivator, (Albany,) and in adjusting them to
the economy and great ability of the cotton
plant, let me assure you, gentlemen, I have been
actuated by a higher and-a holier motive than
the sordid object, in the abstract, of “a large
cotton crop!” This is certainly the result, and,
in part, the planter’s reward, which, however, 1
have ever regarded as the least interesting fea
ture of the improvement. In its proper place, in
my first paper, you may observe, that my object
in”these experiments has not been to augment
the crop of cotton, either per hand or per the
aggregate, already too great, but by an entirely
new and improved system of culture, predicated
upon the principles of a scientific and enlight
ened policy, to curtail the immense capital en
gaged, under the destructive system of the coun
try, in its production, t j one-third its present
enormity, If 1 shall succeed in demonstrating
this fact, my determined object, whjch my ex
periments the past season have more than rea
lised, 1 shall have accomplished yet another
step in this interesting improvement, and that
not the most important.
Again, gentlemen, you will not fail to observe,
nor will the merest tyro in the profession of ag
riculture, that the land thus treated, (as per de
tailed) after yielding the handsome reward to
the industry, care and perseverance ot the plan
ter, of some 31X10 to 5010 pounds of a superior
staple per acre, will be improved by the opera
tion in the ratio ol some two or three hundred
per cent upon its natural state. The soil thus
improved, the primary'object of the system will
be found the next year, superiorly adapted to the
culture of corn; requiring simply the surplus
cotton seed of the previous crop, with the same
treatment otherwise, to insure a yield of 50 to
75 bushels per acre. The treatment of the suc
ceeding ttvo years, first in small grain, giving
an equally large yield, and l ist, which com
pletes the cyclus of rptatiop, to lie one season
in the state of fallow, will each add greatly to
tthe improvement of the soil. I have neither
lime nor space at present to enter more minute
ly into this most interesting branch of the sub
ject, which sketch, however, will serve to illus
rate my object in the institution of these expe
riments.
A short reply to your editorial commenda
tion and 1 have done. It has not appeared sur
prising to me, gentlemen, that the result of ray
experiments should “seem extravagant” to you
in your office, when I have seen planters, men
too of experience and extended observation,
from Baker county in your own State, and oth
ers Iron: the rich alluvial valleys of the Chat
tahoocl; ■ and tfie great Mississippi, while
standing in the midst ot tny cotton, to express
even greater reluctance in according their js-.
sent, though looking upon the well proportioned
weed, yielding its thousands per acre. An op
tic entertainment this, infinitely more interesting
than the rapids of Harper’s Ferry, orthejr coun
terpart, Jettersou’s Rock, which that great man
declared to be worth a voyage across the At
lantic. N. B. Cloud, M. D.
Alabama, Joly 15, 1843.
P. S. You will probably be told, gentlemen,
by some ad captandum planters, whose specula
tive temperaments have induced them to grasp
at the “golden fleece” with impure hands, “that
the}- have tried this system and it will not an
swer.” Ask such men if they have complied
i with the conditions, and believe them not. 1
: will here, in a very few- words, inform you, and
, the friends of improvement, that I have cotton
now growing upon pine land, a fair experiment,
> the present very unfavorable season, treated
, precisely to the letter as detailed in No. 2, that
) was topped on the 10th inst. six feet high, and
t so entirely interlocked the wide way as to for
bid the further use of the horse hoe or sweep.—
Upon a single stalk of this cotton, and it not
’ belter than others around it, 1 counted on the
1 same day, (10th,) upwards of 300 bolls, blooms
’. and squares —they literally hang upon the limbs
1 in tresses—and this cotton has yet 75 days to
r mature. Think you the same success may not
‘ be attained tn Carolina and Georgia’ 1 tell
’ you that the ingenuity and industry of the
; American farmer’s sons, attained by the stern
’ maxim of Roman perseverance, ‘Nil desperan
’ dura, possent quia passe videntue,” may, under
1 this system, grow the same cotton and corn up
' on the poor, piney barrens of Edgefield and
Richmond.

EARTH AND OCEAN.
BY JOHN TOMLIN, ESS-
The earth unveils a niagian scroll,
Where more than Chaldean lore is writ:
Each valley, mount, each glen, each knoll
By mind's elernnl star-beams lit:
Her meanest plains with lessons grave
Assert the immortal soul and guide :
Sweet truths that serve, strong truths that save,
Are planted thick on every side.
But thou,old ocean—old in might.
No trophy keep’st of all the past;
Oblivion threats the trembling sight
When gazing on thy empire vast'.
The busy care which builds the shrine.
The pride that rears the trophied bust,
How vain insight ot'ihee and thine,
Thou foe to human d?eds and dust.

For the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Mr. Editor—A communicatio.n appeared in
your paper of July 31-f, M.'wd by John H-
Wilson and 8. McGowen. Ii had two objects'
One was a reply to a previous publication ot
mine, in in accords?' '* with the code of
honor, and as the only redress left me by the
course of those individuals, they were denounc
ed us no gentlemen, at cowards, and as having
len’Mhcmsclvcs to a amtempliblc and dastardly
purpose. The futility and misconception of that
reply as an excuse for their cowardice, or as a
justification of their course, are clearly and
witheringly shown by the expese made by my
friend and relative, Mr. Yancey, which appear
ed in your paper of August 2d. That expose
has superseded the necessity of my touching
here upon that branch of the matter, and 1 take
this opportunity to endorse the truth of the
statements, arguments and reflections of Mr
Yancey’s rejoinder. Being precluded by hav
ing branded those individuals, from meeting
them “in a warfare of pistols,” or in any other
way, I shall of course ni t stoop to “a warfare
of scurrility,” which in any instance would b e
unbecoming a gentleman, but which they, in
judging by their own nature and impulses, sup
posed I might do. The brand is upon them—
they cannot remove it. It will mark them as
would a plague spot. From henceforwardlhey
are not only beneath my notice, even ot con
tempt, but that of all gntlcmcn. But one of
them I would advise to go hone, and commence
there (if he must) the “dirty work” ot reform in
the characters and morals of those from whom
he sprung, and root out the growth of such
seeds in his own composition as may have fall
en from the parent stem, and which have shown
some frqition in his cowardice and its accom
paniments. He will find it an Augean task!
The other objectof that communication was,
to defame me. This communication, Mr. Edi
tor, is only to vindicate myself as to facts, and
to expose the motives and con- ct of those who
have engendered this contest, and which form a
part of the res gestte. Painful as it is, it has
been rendered necessary by a sense ol justice to
all, by the demands oi this community, and by
the publication which has, with such vulgarin
dclicacy and dishonorable treachery, brought to
the public view a matter which, from its nature,
shocks, but cannot possibly be fully and fairly
undersood, and which startles the delicacy of
virtue, but is not in the nature of the low im
moralities of those who have denounced and
exposed it. The expose made by Mr. Yancey,
in reply, as far as it goes, has presented the true
facts and position ot the matter, but that which
is material to vindicate me from the aspersion
of having made a wanton attack upon the young
lady referred to, and ot being “degraded by the
judgment of this community,” or district, or
State, from my “social position,” does not ap
pear in it, and sho..ld be known. If that as
persion had been made, and was sustained by John
H. Wilson and S. McGowen alone, and did. not
otherwise receive color, 1 could not be induced to
condescend to make this communication.
First, as to the latter assumption. To trace
minutely the progress of the matter from Feb
ruary until now, and its times of calm and ex
citement; to point out the previous positions of
persons and society at Abbeville; to develope
the characters, motives, objects and influences
of individuals here; to trace the thousand trifles
as well as the serious considerations that had
their effect, and to represent how they all enter
ed into and formed a part of the unparalleled
whole ot this matter, would take a volume, and
yet would be necessary to a full understanding
of it.
Soon after he took the letter (the one publish- f
ed) from the office, Maj. Allston, in reply to a J
question of mine why he was so serious, (and s
which had been put to him by me at previous t
times, but evaded,) did intimate to me that the c
cause of his gravity was, that “a person in ,
whom he was interested had been injured and t
insulted,” and he said he “knew the man.” But t
he declined in answer to my pointed enquiries ,
as to persons ami farts, and which were thrown
out to elicit them, to make any explanations, c
as the mat.er was o. secret and was desired to be j
kept so. I then left him to attend to pressing bu- t
siness, and the representation of that con versa- ;
tion by my opponents, as to substance and color- t
mg, is false. Had Maj. Allston then have made ,
his charge, or any demand ol confession or re
dress, (and which 1 then desired,) 1 would have ,
laid before him the truth and facts, and I have j
not a doubt the matter would never have trans- c
pired farther. But on the other hand, he took a
course covert and treacherous. Under solemn t
injunctions, lhe secret was here and there and t
every where communicated, in terms of myste
ry and exaggeration. A feeling akin to horror
Was studiously produced. It was not until
April that any individual in this community
was permitted to communicate the information
to me that I was charged as theauthoi,and then
it was producing a wild and far spread excite- ]
ment. The happening of the second matter led ,
to this communication, at which time I suppos
ed all to be quiet. Under the stream of viru- I
lence and denunciation that was raised against i
me, I refused to make either confessions, vindi
cation or conciliating concessions. I publicly
denounced the course that had been pursued to- '
wards me as unfair, unmanly and dastardly. I «
dared my calumniators (for their purpose was j
calumny, not truth,) to come out and majre their
charge, take its responsibility, add Jtavg an is- ‘
sue of facts made before the community. I de- *
tnanded that Maj. Allston should come to me. (
I was not going to him, when, having professed
to be a friend, he was acting thus treacherously. 5
No; they skulked along, spreading insidiously '
every impression that would prevent the belief I
of tlie truth of any vindication, and that was 1
best calculated to blacken my motives and char
acter. Not a name or fact, speech or act came 1
to my knowledge in a manner that would enable J
me to repel, expose or punish, except those of ]
Maj. Allston, a gray headed, old man. This
continued to be the position of the matter until '
the last of May or first of June—the time of my ’
acknowledgment and apology, the happening of ,
which was brought about by causes that will ,
hereafter appear.
I fearlessly appeal to the eoinmupity to sus- )
tail) ine jn the assertion, that it has not been a j
mere yirtuous indignation that has brought that ,
community to its presept split tip and excited •
condition, But, oh the contrary, that it has been 1
effected by the wcikjngs and manoeuvres of per- I
sonal animosities and objects, (that had their :
incipieney in other causes and motives,) apd
recriminations that were marked in the progress
of the warfare against me, with stiph vjrulence,
raolignity and weazel like cunpipg, that the
morn/en.;Z portion of the community, 1
who had any fair knowledge ot the facts and
progress of the ddiole matter, have said and con
uernned. the hast, (confining their disapproval to
the indiscretion and immorality,) and have been
compelled to array themselves in opposition to
the unchristian impulses, motives and conduct
of that faction or clique, now levelling every
weapon of meanness, cowardice and misrepre
sentation against me. And 1 appeal to it if the
lives, characters, and conduct of the individuals
of that clique do pot show that they care not for
the act, and most of tpeni got for the ipoman,
but to break me trom I hat position I have en
joyed. It is also well known that my own
immediate family, relations, connexions and
friends, on all sides, have, at every stage of this
matter, rallied around me at once with devotion
and stern determination.
And who are those few persons ? One, Major
All-ton, a man of easily excited, narrow and
deep prejudices, and who commencing in error,
has ended in being a dupe; another, one of the
branded, John H. Wilson, whom reputation
places in the position of a discarded but hanger
on lover of the lady; a bachelor, without moral
or religi ms character of any kind; another, lhe
mischief-maker of the whole mattei —a woman
(that bjher lady to whpm the abominable libel
was written, and of which Mr. Yancey showed
the true character,) occupying the position of a
lady, and who by her connection, assurance and
address, wields the influence ot a large and
comparatively respectable family For purpo
ses and reasons (in part well known to this com
munity,) this woman, versed in the arts of the
world and society, full of unbounded hypocrisy
and assurance, and capable of using any means
to attain her ends—uho paid to me and mine
obsequious attentions, (which I had for some
time commenced repelling and avoiding,) to
cover her designs—which' attentions and over
tures she paid on one occasion to me markedly,
after she had taken a most virulent course in
the beginning of this matter against me; and
again after, in defiance of her solemnly express
ed determination an hour before, she would
never again, under any circumstances, speak to
me—this woman thrust herself into the matter
She seized hold of it, said “she would never le
it rest, but would proclaim it;” and went from
house to house villifying and denouncing me.
She attacked also my friends and connections,
, and when she failed (as was uniformly the
ease,) in detaching them from me, treated them
’ in the same way. In one instance this conduct
led to a correspondence between one of them
and Major Allston, the result of which, if fully
' known, would show I have not in any particu
, lar overdrawn her character and conduct. A
just and indignant rebuke of her by Mrs. Cun
■ niugham (upon whom she had, up to the time—
. foe latter part of May—of Mrs. C’s. becoming
: informed ot the matter, lavished the most hon
eyed caresses,) arrayed her extensive family
connection with all its many branche.- (of which
Mr. T. C. Perrin’s family is one,) in' a hostile
attitude against me—with a large portion of
whom I was until then upon friendly terms,
whom I have always respected, and against
whom 1 have no inimical feelings.
These are those few persons—these and their
tnderstrappers, are they who assume to be that
tommunity who have passed judgment upon
ne. Bah!
Well, now as to my acknowledgment and
pology. A short time previous to them—a
ew days—this matter came to the information
d' my family. The consequence was, the
’scorching letter” to that “ another lady of oui
■tillage.” Another consequence was, that feel
ing mv hands were no longer tied, I sent for my
fauterand Mr. Yancey, with the determination to
bring all matters to ait issue, and of thcefins anv
that might arise from that “seoichu. ■ ieiq r,”
which I had piMichj endors'd. I Iritukly told
them the whole truth, embracing the information
and inducements (not yet fully known beyond
my immediate friends) that lead or mislead me
to that indiscretion now so rifely known. It
was not to “make a virtue of necessity,” as as
serted, but on consultation, and to gratiiy the
feelings ot my father and self, that I made the
acknowledgment and apology— and so it is un
derstood by the cam muniiy. We forbore also to
make disclosures, the principal reaspn for which
was that the amende might be more complete,
and that the young lady might not be injured by
what may have been the misrepresentations of
others. Then too occurred the correspondence
between John H. Wilson and myself, published
in connectien with Mr. Yancey’s article. The
whole community seemed delighted at what
they then supposed to be a termination of
the matter, with the exception of that taction
and family clique, aireauy so often referred to.
1 was every where and by every one greeted as
of yore. The sensible and reasoning, (whose
feelings were not enlisted,) at once in their own
minds came to the conclusion, that 1 had had
some grounds for my “oveitrre.”
The 4th of July came. The article of the
“branded” substantially admits that the omis
sion of me (a subscriber') on that occasion was
intentional., and assumes that calling upon me
would have been a disrespect to the communi
ty. And yet a most st udious and active effort has
been made, and is now being made, by them amt
their friends, to impress this community and Dis
trict, that the omission was undesinged and acci
dental! It maintains too, that the “notorious
state ol opinion and feeling here” was general,
and so strong against me, 1 would have been
“hissed if I had attempted to give a toast.” If
they had have thought so they would have called upon
me; and if it be true, why was the indignant de
nunciation of that omission, as contemptible and
low, by a considerable majority of that assembly
(who realized it) so openly made?
What now becomes of the representation, that
this community had, by their judgment, degrad
ed me trom my social position; and when has
it ever been maintained by any persons or com
munities, besides the faction, that I should be re
garded unworthy of the protection of the laws
of honor and society ? I here too beg leave to say,
that my “social position” is not and cannot be de
termined by a. clique or a community, but by the
society—the whole society of my state and acquain
tance.
As to the second ettse, referred to in the publi
cation of my calumniator, fit has entered but
little into notice, or into this controversy. I
will therefore but barely temark, that their re
presentation and publication of it are macle in
■ignorance and falsehood, and is wholly undnthar
' ised by the gentleman who is the protector. —
With that gentleman I am on open terms of
triendship and courtesy.
I come now to the second ground of this com
munication : a vindication of myself from the
aspersion that I made a wanton attack upon “the
young lady.” My recollection as to the times
of the two first letters, makes them much later
and nearer together than those stated.
“ The young lady ” is a music teacher and
singing mistress, al Abbeville village. She is
from Charleston, and lived there until about the
age of maturity. I had thought, up to this mo
ment, I would give the representations which
were made to me by two gentlemen in this vil
lage, calculated to injure this lady, and which
led me to my indiscretion, to show that my “at
tack” was not wanton ; but 1 forbear to make an
issue as to the lady, and take for granted those
representations were mis-represenlalions.
In conclusion, permit me to say, that the in
discretion, the folly, the immorality of that over
ture, I have always freely admitted, and have
bowed down, without murmur, to the moral con
demnation of the virtuous and Christian.—
Throughout the whole matter, I have acted on
the defensive, and my blows have only been di
rected (which, to the cowardly, appears “bu. H
ying in the face of the officiousness ol person
al animosities, of the insolent hypocrisy that,
living in glass houses, has yet thrown stones,
and of the fanaticism that would damn and os
tracize. In my defenee, I have taken the onljr
course laid down by the society of the civilized
world, and known, among gentlemen by which
they redress those injuries and insults, that nei
ther public opinion, religion, or civil law, can
prevent or remedy.
I have done. I shall, not again notice whalev
er may appear (however foul, unjust or libellous)
in a nswspaper as to the matter. Taking advan
tage of this only opportunity that has been fair,
I have given my conception of this whole mat
ter, as seems to me, to be the true one. My op
ponents, whom I have been reluctantly compell
ed to incidentally refer to, are now beyond the
necessity, as well as the contempt of my notice.
And now, to the judgment of all persons ot hon
or. bravery, morality and religion, who may
know its true history in its details, as well as
those now generally informe j of it, I submit
this whole matter.
JOHN CUNNINGHAM.
Abbeville C. H., August 4th, 1843.
For the Chronicle and Sentinel.
According to previous arrangements, a pub
lic Barbacue Dinner was given at Warrenton,
by the Beat Company of which Thomas C.
Perrin is Captain, on the slh of August, inst.,
in honor of the said Thomas C. Perrin, and as
evidence of the approbation by his Company of
his course in the affair with Mr. Cunningham,
and of the high regard in which he is held by
his fellow-citizens. A very respectable number
of citizens t'rqm a distance were present. Be
fore tfre hour appointed for dinppr arrived, the
Company held a meeting, and invjted all per
sons presept to join them in their deliberations;
whereupon the Preamble and Resolutions giyep
below were unanimously adopted, The com
mittee of arrangements and invitation, consist
ing of Andrew Gillespie Esq., William Brooks,
James Spence, James Murray, and John L.
Boyd, then waited upon Mr. Perrin at Mr.
Brooks’ house, and conducted him to the table,
when he was addressed by Mr. Edward Tilman,
who acted as President of the day, as follows
“Mr. Perrin, it is my pleasant duty to read to
you the preamble and resolutions which I ho|d
in my hand, and 1 take pleasure in saying to
you, that they have been adopted bj' the compa
ny present without a dissenting voice.” He
then read in a clear and distinct voice the Pre
amble and Resolutions adopted, which are as
follows:
tfliercas, Our worthy Captain, Thomas C.
Perrin, |tas beep publicly denpu'pped by Mr!
John Cunningham’as a cufvafd.apd as liavjng
forfeited all claim to bp regarded as a gentleman
for relusing to accept his challenge for personal
satisfaction; and regarding, as tie do, that the
pretence tor Mr. Cunningham’s challenge was
frivolous, and his subsequent denunciations
false; that Mr. Cunningham had no right, alter
his previous conflict, to expect to be called upon
tor a toast at the- Barbacne on the 4th of July;
that our Captain, as President of that day, did
his duty to the company m not calling upon
him; and that Mr. C. had no right to question
him upon the subject And further, regarding
as wp do, Paptarp P(Tiip ! ? gpupse p'prtept'ip
relusingto appepj Mr. Cnnhinglmin’s challenge,
and in binding him and his coadjutors to keep
the peace, which they were wantonly disturb
ing, we think it proper thus publicly to express
our sentiments, and throw back auy imputation
which is attempted to be east upon him either as
a brave vian or a gentleman.
Therefore, Resolved, That upon full consider
ation el all the circumstances, we do highly ap
prove of Captain Perrin’s conduct in relusing
Mr. Cunningham’s challenge for personal sat
isfaction, and in binding over the parties con
cerned to keep the peace, and his entire conduct
throughout this affair, iri yifoich lie has exhibit
ed great loti eartjnce, pfudepe'e and moiitl forti
tude.
11 solved, That pve highly approve ol Capt.
Perrin’s course ip observing perfect silence as
to the unprovoked and wanton assault of Mr.
Yanpey.
Resolved. TJiat as his fellow-soldiers, pur con
fidence in Captain Perrin’s bravery is now as
unshaken as jt was strong when he was elected
our Captain.
Resolved, That as his fcllow-cdizens, our esti
mate of his moral elevation and social worth is
if possible, increased by his firm stand against
low intrigue and social depravity.
Resolved, That Captain Perrin’s honor and
courage are not only untarnished, but in the es
timation of his fellow-citizens, unimpeachable.
Resolved, That we consider the challenges
given to Captain Perrin and others, as threats
made against the whole community; and that
we are decidedly of opinion that neither to Mr.
Cunningham, nor to any other person taking
his part in this matter, is any one in this com
munity, and especially those persons already
challenged, called upon in support of their cha
racter for courage or otherwise, to give such a
meeting as has been demanded by Mr. Cun
ningham expressly, and by his friends impliedly.
After the Preamble and Resolutions were
read, Mr. Perrin, in a few very appropriate re
marks, with much feeling tendered his thanks
and acknowledged his profound sense of grati
tude to the Company for their kindness towards
him, but begged to be excused from making a
’ speech, upon the grounds, that inasmuch as he
’ had heretofore been quiet, and had done nothing
to injure his traducers, lie was not now disposed
by saying any thing to lay himself liable to be
i misrepresented, or that might *h e foundation
j- to raise the cry of persecution; and inasmuch
as the whole matter would undergo judicial in
' vestigation, he did not desire to forestall public
1 opinion or produce excitement upon the subject;
and concluded by expressing his assurance that
he would ever entertain the most profound feel
’ mgs of gratitude towards the people of War
-1 renton.
It was thought by the committee ofarrange-
J nents proper to dispense with toasts, lest the
i ixcitement, already great, might be increased
c .eyond proper bounds.
e Letters were received tor the use of the occa
r ion, from the Rev. Mr. Hemphill, Mi. Joel
- Smith, and James Foster, Esq., of which copies
y are herewith published.
Il was resolved, That the proceedings ot the
dav be published in the Augusta Chroiticle and
Seiuinel, till I the South Curolj 'I <'u petance-
Advocate.
The dinner, which did credit to the managers,
was l ondticted upon strictly tempt rance princi
ples, and good order prevailed throughout the
day. EDWARD TILMAN, President.

Letler of /lev. Mr. Hemphill.
Ltsroo, Abbeville District, b ; L., |
August 4th, 1843. J
James Huey, Esq.-Dear Sir-Understand
ing that there is to ue a meeting ot the citizens
of this District on to-morrou', at your residence,
in honor ot the Hon. Thomas C. Perrin, and
finding it inexpedient to attend the meeting in
person, I send tiiis communication and tin? sub
joined sentiment, as an expression ot my ap
probation of the course pursued by Mr. Perrin
in legally resisting the late attempt made upon
his life and character; and also as an expres
sion of my disapprobation of that dishonorable
conduct from which the whole affairoriginated.
That Mr. Perrin in refusing to accept a chal
lenge to engage in a bloody and mortal combat
about nothing, in conti avenlion to the laws ol
God and the State; and in apprehending the
challenger and his abettors, and holding them
amenable to the laws for their untoward con
duct, has adopted the correct course, must sure
ly be the sentiment of every man who has any
due regard for the peace of the community and
the majesty of the laws. It is astonishing that
the barbarous practice of duelling should ever
be i esorted to or thought ol in this enlightened
community as the method of redressing either
real or supposed wrongs.
And it is mortifying to think that the public
sentiment on this subject is so vitiated or so
doubtful, that the good citizens of this Christian,
this law and order loving community, are now
called upon to ascertain whether the conduct of
one who has refused a challenge should be sus.
tained or not. The tone of public sentiment
ought to be such, that it would rebuke and
scathe as with the lightning’s fiery wing the
man who has the audacity to jeopardize his own
lite in the duel, or to imbrue his hands in the
blood of a fellow-citizen, with a coolness and a
heartlessness and a deliberation that would nut
a savage or a demon to the blush. The public
sentime it, however, is of such a character as to
suffer, if not to encourage the monstrous tolly
and sin of duelling, kis time a change should
come over the spirit of the community on this
subject; the manly and course
pursued by Mr. Perrin, people ot
this District and of this Stale an opportunity of
expressing their deep abhorrence of a practice
so vile, so ctuel, so dishonoring, and so destitute
ot one redeeming feature, or of any palliation.
In relation to common murder the tone of pub
lic sentiment is correct. When such a catas
trophe occurs, the whole community are more
or less aroused, and the murderer is hunted
high and low, until he is apprehended and
brought to the prison house, to the bar, or to the
scaffold, to atone for his crime. But to the
duellist, with malice aforethought, and with
cool deliberation, bathes his guilty hands and
gluts his revenge in the blood of his fellow man,
and is received anew into the circles of refined
society, or elevated to some office of honor or of
profit, as though he had done a righteous act,
and one which did not merit the scaffold but a
station of distinction. Why this difference be
tween the common murderer and the murdering
duellist? Let even handed justice be meted out
to all violators of law and disturbers of ti e
peace. Mr. Perrin has been denounced as a
cowan I, but he has exhibited a moral courage
altogether rare in these days of degeneracy, af
fording a presage oi brighter and better times
with reference to the practice in question. He
has been represented as having no “scruples”
with reference to duelling, but he is bound by
oath as a niilitary officer, as an attorney, and
as a member of the Legislature, to maintain
the laws of the State ; he is like wise under deep
obligations to his family, to his clients, to the
community and to God; and it were passing
strange, if notwithstanding all these obligations,
he has no “scruples” about committing one of
the most flagrant violations of the laws of earth
and heaven. But not to enlarge on the subject,
permit me to give the following sentiment, res
pecting duelling and the crime of seduction, or
the attempt to seduce, which gave rise to the
present affair, and on whicn the community
would do well to express an opinion ;
Seduction and Duelling.—The first not a
mere act of “indiscretion,” but a foul, flagitious
crime, alike destructive to female reputation
and domestic peace, The second not ah “affair
of honor,” but a mean, dastardlj’, dishonorable
business, repugnant both to the laws of God and
man, anil prompted to and promoted by the bas
er passions of the human heart.
Yours, &c. TV. R. HEMPHILL.
Letter of Mr. Joel

These medicines are offered ns a sufv and effectu
al cure for Ague and Fever, and for iestoring thi
constitution to n state of permanent health wfieu
laboring under the debilitating effeeih that gene
rally succeed attacks of bilious fever. The re
spectable testimony which is produced in their
recommendation, would alone be sufficient to ob
tain for them the confidence of the public; but
the great reputation they possess in those places
where they have been so extensively used, and
have so fully answered the purposes for which
they are recommended, leaves no doubt of their
entire superiority over all other medicines now
in use for the cure of Ague and Fever.
