Neal’s Reply to “ Little River.” Bairdrtown, Ga., Dec. 15, 1874. Editor Oglethorpe Echo: “ Your valuable and popular little journal,” as “L. R.” so happily puts it, q£ the 11th inst., found me confined to my bed with an attack of pneumonia, and still finds me barely able to sit up. Perhaps this is best, as this controversy must necessarily come to an end sometime, and it might perhaps as well be now as at some subsequent time. I am not physically able to’ answer “ L. R.” at length, therefore, I couldn’t if I would, and wouldn’t if I could. I think your readers have had a surfeit of it already. When I wrote my first letter I counted well the cost. I perfectly understood that “ L. R.” had a most unbridled tongue, (vide his last letter,) and no one could bear stronger testimony to it probably than his own father if he were living. As to what he says about my moral character, I make this proposition, to-wit: Let him come out like a man, if he has not hybernated in his hole until it is impossible for him to assume an upright position, and give his real name, as Ido mine. I will give him free leave to say in all things wherein I have departed from the laws of morality, and he give me same leave to say wherein he has deparetd from them, and leave it to the public to say which is the moral man or comes nearest to it. Now, if he won’t do this or forever hold his peace, why, I think he orter, that’s all. In his endeavors to make it appear that he intended only a harmless little joke in the first instance, he reminds me of the strong man in the morals—the harder he struggles to extricate himself, the deeper he sinks. His position, I confess, is calculated to make him worry, knowing so well, as he does, that if he gives his real name the community will know at once whether only a harmless little joke was intended or not, and he is afraid of the verdict. M ill he say over his own name that he is not well acquainted with Bullet? will he say in the same manner that they have spok en to each other in a long time ? If he won’t answer these questions as above indicated, the public will understand perfectly whether a harmless little joke was intended or not. When two persons are at variance, they may annoy each other all they possibly can, but they don't joke. A word about what “L. R.” says about my “ promptly condemning and criticising the action of the church,” and I am done until attacked again. There is my letter in the Echo of Nov. 27th. Let it speak for itself. If he or any one else can see any condemna tion or criticising of the action of the church, they have better eyes than I am possessed of. In great haste, very respectfully, yours, Geo. W. Neal.

For this purpose, the Legislature of the State of New York has granted a charter to a number of our most wealthy and respectable merchants, and these gentlemen have purch ased no less than eight blocks of the most val uable land in the city of New York. The building to be erected will be seven stories high (150 feet in height), surmounted by a magnificent dome, and will cover a space of 22 acres. It will be constructed of Iron, Brick and Glass, and made fire-proof. The bonds, which are all for S2O each, are secured by a first mortgage on the land and building, and for the purpose of making them popular, the directors have decided to have quarterly drawings of $150,000 each ; this monev being the interest on the amount of the whole loan.
