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. . AUGUSTA MARKETS. Thursday, February 0, P. M. FINANCIAL.—Wo quoto as broker’s rates— Gold, buying, 110 ; selling, 113. Silver, buying, ISO; selling, 135.

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. [Advertisement.) 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 BRITISH PERIODICALS ’T’IIE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW J.
