eonally offensive in itself. Your enswors,
therefore, to my last two onquirtos, taken in
connection with tho whole of your response to
niy first letter of the 17sh Instant, by no" means
constitute such an explanation of Hie offensive
character of tho report, whioh hrttf been com
municated to me, of your remarks at Thony)
son and Augusta, as I can receive with a dim
regard to my honor as a gentleman, and ray
integrity as a man.
I do not deem it proper on-this occasion to
join issue with you In uhy statement of, facts
in account of wlrat either you or I said at Lex
ington. You hold yourself responsible, I sup
pose, for your own vetslon of loth; and for
tho vorsion ns given by yourself, ps well as iti
tone and manner, I ask of yottjhat satisfac
tion which is usual between gentlemen in such
eases.

Dear Sin; Your letter of 29th November,
Was handed to mo a few moments since, by
Hon. Thomas W. Thomas.
You say that my letter of tho 24 th ultimo,
'"has in it much, both in tone and matter, per-.
Eonally offensive^ in itself,* Ac., and without
Spool Tying any thing which you designate as
offensive, you proceed to ask of me ‘‘that
satisfaction which is usual between gentlemen
in such cases.”
It might be somo satisfaction for you to
eboot at me, though I should entertain no
great fear of being hit; but candor requires
mo to any, with ray present feelings, I could
not deliberately shoot nt you, and for many
reasons—a few only of whioh I will now givo :
1st. I might possibly hit you, and though
you may not consider your life valuable, yet to
take it would bo a great annoyance to me ever
afterwards. Tho ceaseless accusations of my
oonscienco that I was a inurtUrcr, would be
tha bane of nil my future happiness.
2d. I am not conscious of having given you
nny just ground of offence. In my letter of
•tho 24th, I authorize you to construe my re
marks by tho meaning of your own charge, to
whioh tile remarks were intended as a reply.
If tho reply, then, was offensive, it only proves
that you so intended your charge, and in that
view you, are entitled to no satisfaction, and I
» satisfied with the reply Further than
this I distinctly disclaimed any personal allu
sion or unkindness, and notwithstanding your
“ belligerent message,” feel none now.
3d. If the invitation to mortal combat is
intended ns a mere formal occasion, to exchange
a few harmless shots and then have an adjust
ment, T can only say I never engage in farces,
normakc feigned issues. If I could be made
conscious that I had done you injustice, I should
not wait first to bo siiot at. If you did me
injustice, I met the occasion with the remedy,
and it does seem, made a shot Which produced
a wider, if not a deeper sore than any within
tho power of powder and hall to produce
Now, sir, (as t always speak plainly,) I will
only add that I know of nothing which has oc
curred between you and mo which could nu
thorize or justify a duel; and while I have
never at Ally time had an insult offered me, nor 1
an aggression attempted, I shall yet know how
toaeet and repel a«y that may be offered by
say gentleman who may presume upon this re
fusal or otherwise.

Grand Jury Presentments.
Wc, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for the
third week of the November Term, 185fi, of tho Su
perior Court of Troup county, Ga.,osk leave to make
tho following presentments:
We have had before us, and carefully examined the
general presentments of the two preceding weeks ot
the Gland Juries, and heartily concur with rhom in
the following recommendations, to wit ;
Wo recommend the Inferior Court to re-cover the
Bridge across Yollowjacket creek, on the State road,
near John Shank’s. Wo also recommend the rebuild
ing of the bridge across Flat-Shoal creek, on tlio
county line road, near Thomas Hardy’s. Wc also
think it very important to have tho road leading from
La Grange to Heed’s ferry, on the Chattahoochee
river, opened thirty feet wide, os it is now one ol tho
most important market roads in the county. We
unanimously recommend aud request tho patrol com
missioners throughout tho county, and especially in
the Ln Grange district, to lmvo the patrol laws strict
ly executed, and ask the co-operation of the Inferior
Court, in looking to tho proper officers, to haue this
duty performed.
Wc do not concur in opinion with the previous Ju-
Tlcs in recommending the rebuilding of the bridge
across Long Cane creek, on the Hamilton road : we
think it would be a useless expense to tlio county, ns
the ford is vory good nnd very seldom past fording,
and when the water is too high to ford the creek, the
bridge cannot bo reached on account of water.
We find, from examining Ihe presentments of the
two past weeks’Juries, that only a partial examina
tion of tho hooks of the different officers of Courts
have bccu mode, they leaving and asking that exami
nation to be continued and completed by this weeks'
Jury. We beg leave to state that in our opinion this
sort of an examination will not amount to unytbing.
Tho short time allotcd to a committee appointed for
this purpose, from tho body of a Grand Jury, will not
admit of more than time enough to give a passing
look at tho mechanical part of tho work, witeout be
ing able to tell anything as to the correctness or ua-
■corrcdtncHS of tho hooks; hence wo unanimously re
commend to the Inferior Court the appointment if
three fit nnd proper persons, wIiobc duty it shall ho to
make a full, complete and thorough examination of
all the books kept by tho Clerk of the Superior Court,
Clerk of tho Interior Oourt, Ordinary, Sheriff, Poor
School Commissioner, Fines, Forfeitures. Ac.; aud that
said Committee ho instructed to commence said ex
animation from such dato as they in their judgment
may think necessary; and that said Committee keep
a full nnd correct account of their acts in a book to
he kept for that puipoae ; and that said Committee be
paid from the county treasury the sum of four dollars
each per day for such servloes; and should Bald Com-
' neglect or refuse to discharge said duty fully
l *~>tially, on 1} before the first day of the next
i Court, then they shall not be entitled to

came very distressing; I used this medicine accord-
ing to the directions, and was cured in three days,'
My wifo was also nttneked with pntn in the stomach,
in consequence of eating too soon after a fit of sick-
ness; she was relieved in a few minutes alter taking
this medicine. To use her own words, she said she
fell the pain remove alter she had taken it as quick
you could see a lump of sugar dissolve in Cold
water. My son wos burnt so badlv the skin was
off; I applied the medicine immodiutcly, nnd it look
the fire out nnd heeled the wound in less time than
I ever sutv one healed before. One of my children
fell over a chair and bruised its head very bad, but
tire bruise was soon dispersed by bathing in this
medicine. 1 will mention one ease more of its
wondergni effect in curing a wound inflicted by my
1 falling out of doors and culling himself badly;
ihe pain was soon relieved, nnd the wound healed
by this medicine. In fact it is the best family
medicine t ever used for Ihe euro of colds' coughs,
ond a number of other complaints incident, to tho
human family,
