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. My friend, ITon Thomas Vf. Thomas, who will hand you this, is authorized to make all tiecossary arrangements, allowing such terms •only as my present distanco may roquiro. liespeetfully, Alexander H. Stephens. To B. If. Hill, Esq , LnGrnnge, Ga. La Grange, Ga , Doc 6, lS5fi. 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.

December 18, 2t. 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 SPECIAL NOTICES.
