GENERAL JACKSON has been much furprifed at the fight of a publication in the Augufia Herald of the 23d In ft. figned Ralph Spence Philips, containing a narrative of the affair of honor between him and Col. Watkins, of the 18 th. Publications on fuch occafions are always beft avoided, but when interred, ought never to be fo exnurte. The principal or fccond on the other fide, ought, as jufticc requires, to have a mutual examination and correction, errors or im proper expreflions might not creep in to rip up old fores, and difturb exiftmg harmony, the foundation whereof may be but bftrcly laid. The General, al though on a languifhing bed, feels himfelf more jiurt than by the wound he lias received, by an expreffon of Mr. Philips’s, tc that in conformity. to the pofitive ir.fmiCtions which he had received, arrangements were made to meet the General on his own ground, accordingly the place was fixed in Burke County, on the main road lead ing from Louifvilic to Wavnef borough, about 24 miles from the former, and one from the latter.” The General is at a lofs to know how this could be called or underlined as the Ge neral’s own ground—he declares' that he does not own one foot of land in the county, and it is well known, that in the vicinity of Wayne (borough, Col. Watkins has as many friends as the Gene ral. if, as Mr. Philips obferves he propofed, it had Lu en agreed to be half way between their refpeftivc icfKienccs, the meet ing muff have taken place at the lower end of Scnvera County, for the General’s nTi dcnce is Chatham, and Col, Watkins’s Richmond County ; this would have been worfc for the Colonel as to f/tuation, in cafe of the General’s death. In JtfTcrfon, the General has a plantation, but no refidence— not even a dwelling houfe on that plantation i nothing but a bare temporary dwelling made of his cotton houfe in Summer. But the Col. had made Louif vide his own ground by giving the challenge there, and the Ge neral by all the rules of honor, could have confined him to that ground. Thefe observa tions ought be extended, but a wifh to prevent the fcer.cs too often exhibited to view for the peace and happinefs of two amiable females, and their infant families, from being a£ei over again, forbids it.—We need go no further to prove the impropriety of a publication a"; all. Mr. Philips has called 00 me to correct any part of h;n relation ; I wifh to impute no improper motives to that gen tleman from his publication.-—' After the affair of the 13th was over, and General oa his bed at Carter’s, 1 afkcd Mr. Philips if it were intended to I publilh on the fubjed i he r'e i plied he fliould only publilh the
