AcacaTA, January 27, 1808.
Gen. A. R. Wright:
Dear Sir : Tour paper of January 25th
inaUnt contains comments upon mo—l
being tho Attorney of the City Council
alluded to—unjust aud injurious to me. I
am unwilling, as yet, to believe that they
were tueairt to bo gratuitously so ; but 1
presume proceeded upon a mtscouoeptiou
of my relation to the paper commented
upon. Calling your attention to tho fact,
that my connection with that paper was
simply that of a retained attorney, that it
neither purports to be nor is tho expres
sion of any sentiment of mine, nor the
vehicle of any assault of mine upon the
conduot or motives of yourself or auy
man, but only the preparation in the dis
charge of professional duty, of the case of
my clients, I have the honor to request tho
withdrawal of your injurious remarks,
which, until otherwise informed, I shall
consider as based upon a misconception
hereby dispelled, in the manner best caleu
latetl to undo the injury to mo which this
publication may have occasioned.
Yours, respectfully,
Jas. S. Hook.
[Note.l
Received from Major Cuintuiog, January
2‘Jlh, 4 p. m., and handed to Gen. Wright
about 121 in. on the 30th. Gen. Wright
being engaged in a case in Court, was occu
pied in discussing the question under con
sideration, aud for that reason I did not give
it to him before. L. McLaws.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 31, 18G8.
Judge James iS. hook:
Dkar Sir—Your note of the 27th was not
handed to me until noon yesterday, and my
engagements in the Court Room p. evented
an earlier reply.
The objectionable language of my nrtiele
of Saturday last, to which you call my at
tention. was penned solely to repel what I
considered a wanton, unauthorized, and
wholly unjustifiable attack upon the mo
tives of those (myself among the number)
who had signed the memorial to General
Meade asking the removal of the Mayor
and Council of this city, which appeared
in the argument ot the City Council sub
mitted to the Military Commission. You
were understood to have been the author
and draughtsman of that argument (which
you now admit), and as such I supposed that
you gave not only the views and opinions of
your clients, but your own also. As you
now distinctly disclaim any persona! respon
sibility for the offensive matter in that argu
ment, and, further, declare that its assault
upon my motive as a signer of the petition
did not aud does not express jour own feel
ings or sentiments, nor was it the vehicle of
any assaults of yours upon the conduct of
myself or any one, I take pleasure in ex
pressing my gratification at this disavowal
on) your part, and withdraw the reflections
upon yourself to which you call my atten
tion.
I suggest that the publication of the entire
correspondence between us on this subject
will best promote the eml in view.
Yours, respectfully,
A. R. Wright.
Augusta, Jan. 31st, 1868.
General A. 11. Wright:
Sir —Your note of this date has just
reached me in reply to mine of the 27th
instant.
The withdrawal therein of the offensive
remarks, to which your attention was
called, if standing alone would ho satisfac
tory, but 1 cannot consider it so coupled
with all the terms used in your note. Tho
term “personal responsibility’’ in the con
nection in which it is used, is ambiguous
and liable to injurious construction. The
disclaimer was not of “personal responsi
bility for the offensive matter.” hut of per
sonal participation therein. The propriety
of this distinction you will readily per
ceive.
I have, therefore, respectfully to ask the
use iu your note of withdrawal of a phrase
less liable to misconstruction.
Very respectfully,
Jas. S. Hook.
AugusiA, Ga., Feb. Ist, 18G8.
Judge James S. Hook:
Dear Sir— Your note of yesterday is just
received. I have certainly understood your
position in this correspondence to be that
you did not consider yourself responsible lor
the language used in your argument for .the
City Council. It was upon the distinct
disclaimer made by you in your note of the
27th ult., that “that argument neither pur
ports to be nor is the expression of any
sentiments of mine (you), nor the vehicle of
auy assaults of mine (you) upon the conduct
or motive of yourself (myself), nor any
man,” that my note of the 31st ult. was
based. You will remember that the offen
sive language of your argument has not
been withdrawn, but you have, so far as you
are personally concerned, disavowed respon
sibility for that language—at least such 1
understood to be the meaning of your words
in your note of the 27th ult. It was with
this understanding of your position that 1
matle the explanation in mine of the 31st
ult. Very respectfully,
A. R. W right.
Acgcsta, February Ist, 1808.
General A. 11. Wright :
Sir: Your note of this date lias just
reached me. You seem to have misap
prehended my note of the 31st ult. It was
not the purpose of that note, in any way.
to vary my communication of the 27th
nit. Its purpose was to make objection to
the phrase “personal responsibility*' as
used in your note, as liable to be miscon
strued. The phrase as used in such cor
respondence has a special meaning ; and
as used by you, is liable to the erroneous
construction that I would not hold myself
responsible for sentiments put forth as my
own, and assaults made hy myself. My
note of the 27th ult. disclaimed personal
participation in any assault upon your
motives and conduct. Your note of this
date might leave the impression that, hav
ing made such assault, I now disclaimed
responsibility” for it. I a>n unable to
consider any explanation satisfactory
which leaves room (even though not so
intended) for a construction so injurious.
Very respectfully,
Jas 8. Hook.
Augusta, Ga., Feb. Ist, 1868.
Judge Jas. 8. Hook :
Dear Sir—Your note of this date is
just received. I did not intend , hy using
the words “personal responsibility” in
my note of the 31st ult., that they should
be construed in the way you suggest
they may be. You had already stated
that the offensive language in your argu
ment did not convey your own opinions
or feelings, and that yon did not, in that
argument, intend to impugn my motives.
It was in reference to this disclaimer that
the words which you suggest may be im
properly construed were used, and not
with the intention of charging you gen
erally with not being personally responsible
for “sentimeuts put forth as your own,
and assaults made by yourself.”
Very respectfully,
A. 11. Wright.
Augusta, Ga», Feb- 1, 1868.
Gen. A. 11. Wright:
Dkar Sir—Your second uoto of this date
has just been received.
1 am gratified to say that, with the ezpla-
nation therein contained of the language
previously used, the WITHDRAWAL you
make iu your note of the 3l»t ult. ij entirely
satisfactory.
1 accede to your suggestion that this cor
respondence, which, 1 regret, has, owing to
the necessary occupations oi both of us,
extended over so much time, be published
in your paper.
Very respectfully,
Jamks 8. Hooc.

[From the Circular ot Wm. Bryce A Cos.
New York Cotton Review,
New York, January 31, 1808.
General Remarks.—The Conference Com
rnitteb have to-day decided to repeal the tax on
all cotton grown after 1807, and to admit free of
duty foreign cotton after November 1, 1868.
There is no doubt but the bill will become a law
forthwith, and next year will see the staple pro
duct of the South as tree to movo as the staples
of the Fast and West.
Advices from the South report very unfavora
ble weather, and restricted receipts at the inte
rior points in consequonce. The recent riso in
prico will no doubt bring cotton more freely to
market as soon as transportation is attended
with less difficulty. The present rate of receipts
is not regarded as indicative of tho exhaustion
of tho country, and no section is reported where
from the crops are all delivered.
The Liverpool letters show that the belief is
still strong on that side of tho water in a crop of
two and a half to three-quarters millions of
bales. A careful examination of the purchases
by the English spinners for the three weeks of
this year, for whch wo have the Brokers’ Circu
lar, leads to tho inference that they think they
will kaffe an abundance of American Cotton, but
fear that the low prices will curtail their sup
plies from other sources, especially Brazil, where
the plnat is a triennial, and only this year
ceases to feel tho effect of the 25d. price o( 1864.
The advance of tho past two weeks has been
extremely large, and heavy profits have boon
rnado on purchases at tho beginning of the year.
Towards tho close of the week thoro seems some
desire to realize and take the chances of rein
vesting in tho heavy roceipts we are bound to
havo within the next sixty days. This theory is
strengthened by tho action of Fomc manufac
turers who seem desirous of selling their goods
ahead of production, evidently believing thoy
can buy to cover. Ou the other hand speculation
is as anxious to purchase as any time this sea
son, and the capitalists who are investing h ve
tho ability to carry their purchases any length
of time. Some largo spinners also, who have
been buying from hand to month over since
September, are now beginning to stock up, see
ing that although tho receipts have been eleven
hundred and odd thousands, only threo hundred
and fifty thousand bales now appear as stock in
tho ports.

Country lisrchauls,
In making their purchases, will do well
to call first on Mrs. Pughe, 190 Broad
street, who is selling out her entire stock
cheap. ts
