SEATON GRANTLAND.—I lament tint I
again have occasion to employ a portion of my
time, and of the columns of the Federal Union, on
this unworthy man; a victory over whom, is im
measurably beneath mv ambition. Ever incapable
of honorable and gentlemanly controversy, he lias
continued to pell me with coarse abuse, and annull
ing falsehood. His abuse, however scurrilous and
malignant, could not provoke any furthei reply:
but perhaps it is prudent briefly to notice his state
ments, and the certificates, with which he endea
vors to bolster up his foolish fauiica Lion against nie.
The subject cannot be interesting, or important to
the public: but no man is willing to sutler slanders
against himself to pass uncontradicted. The state
ment of Mr. T. B. Howard, which he publishes, is
probably correct in its essential parts. Alter dis
tributing arms to those who needed, and takino
measures to assemble the volunteer corps, I has
tened to my dwelling. Mv wite, not then reeov
ered from severe illness, and my children, having
caught the alarm prevailing in their neighborhood,
were standing in consternation, in tiie street, anx
iously awaiting my arrival: and I was not siow in
going to their relief. Having but a moment be
fore been emraged in the discharge of military du
ties, and intending quickly to return to them. I
had my sword with me: our volunteer company
having been raised but three days before, I bad not
vet procured a sword-lielt, and, in consequence,
mv sword was not worn at my side, but carried in
my hand. But it was not drawn. It is to tliefce
facts that Air. Howards letter relates: and it
does not sustain .Mr. Grantland’e fabrication.
Dr. Green’s statement, if I cun unaersland it,
when stripped of its circumlocution, is,’that lie saw
me go through the streets, with my sword drawn,
apparently much excited; and that he heard me
cry, ‘‘to arms.” Tins statement may be partially
true. Before I wenl to my dwelling, I was earn
estly engaged in assembling my corps with rapidi
ty; ami Dr. Green may have heard me direct one
or more of them to get their arms, and proceed to
their place of rendezvous. But mv sword was not
drawn: and on this point the doctor has fallen into
a ludicrous mistake, but which, however, is not ve
ry discreditable to lus general science. Mv sword
was cased in a brilliant, metallic senbboni; and
for the reason above mentioned, was borne in mv
hand: and I presume that the good doctor, whose
habits have not familiarized him with implements
of war, and labouring under a defect of vision,
mistook the scabbard for the blade.—Even il Dr.
Green had not been in error on tins point, ins state
ment, in its broadest extent, falls very far short of!
sustaining the statement of Air. Grantland. f
The other certificate is that of Win. Y. HansHl.!
Without stating time, place, or any oilier ciicum- 1
stance, in general terms he indorses for tne truth j
of Air. Grantland’s fabrication. I am unwilling to j
believe that Air. Hanscll would endeavor to give j
countenance and support to an injurious statement, j
while knowing it to be false; and there are peeu- j
liar considerations known to him, which should for- i
bid him to injure me bv falsehood. The ^statement j
ot Mr. Grantland, notwithstanding this indorse
ment, is utterly untrue; and for Mr. Hansell’s sake,'
I hope to discover some circiTtristance, Ihat will in- j
duce the belief, that he was mistaken iu the per-j
sou to whom he refers.
In the Recorder of the Srh of December, Mr.
Grantland says— |
“ Oapt, John A. Cu'fibert. rfd run, and hn’loo, and
sever the air with his sword, lor a gnat uisnaiice tlirough
the town of Mifiedgevilie, more like a maniac, than a
man of cool, deliberate courage, trying out as,iie ilms run
and flourished his weapon, “ To your arms! To your arms!
The haoe risen mid are the ”—
Those were his words and action he denies it, but we
have proof, indisputable proof, of die fact. The writer,
with four or five of the Commissioners of the Milledge-
ville Masonic Hall Lottery, w as in the Clerk’s < )tfioe of
the Superior Court, when they were alarmed by the
ringing of the town-bcli, and also by Captain Cuth-
Ijert’s screams. They nut into the yard, supposing it
to be an alarm of fire. As they passed over the stile of
the enclosure around the Court-house, Capt. Cuthbert
ran up the streeltowards the Western limit of the town
using the words and gestures we have ascribed to him.”
By fixing the time and place, he has enabled me
tn call on two geptlemen, who were then and there
present witli him; and wlio, if the facts which he
asserts, had existed, must have aeen and heard
them. Their subjoined statements prove, that I
was not in the neighborhood of the court-house, at
the time of which he speaks; and that his story of
having seen me passing it, under the circumstan
ces which he describes, is impossible.
Dear Sir.—Agreeable to your request I give
von below a statement of what I saw of your con
duct on the day of the alarm occasioned by the re
port of the insurrectionary movements among the
blacks of our neighborhood.—I was in the Clerks
office ip company wit^jscvcral gentlemen, among
!~5——!?5S» X
whom were Mr.Grantland and Maj. Hanseli, when
the alarm, was given, I left the office ou my way
to be informed ol the particulars, after liic
company had retired from the office (having to
close the doors fitc.) and having stopped on m> way
to read the letter of .Mr. Augustin Harris, v. htcii
had caused the alarm, I was induced to believe that
the company were In advance ol me—1 did not
meet you until I was near the corner of Messis.
Wiley and Baxter’s store, I cannot" conceive how
they should have me.t with you, alter I did, or at a
place fartlier on your route than the place I menti
on. At the time I met you, I observed nothing of
that ridiculous behaviour which has since been at
tributed to you—I saw you but once during the e-
veuing. * Yours truly,
R A. GREENE.
Afilledgeville 31st Dec. 1831.
I saw Cant. John A. Cuthbert and was with him
as a member of bis company during the evening
alluded to m the above note, St observed nothing in
his conduct which I think could justify the remarks
which have been made about him, I did not see
him in passing from the centre of the town to his
residence but met with him very soon alter at the
arsenal, when he appeared to be as cool and collect
ed as any other person on that occasion and
I distinctly recollect to have heardLhim sav, upon
the arrival of a second report confirmatory i f
the first, that he was strongly of the opinion that
the whole of it was a falsehood—I was one i f
the persons in the clerks office of the Superior
Court when the alarm was given, but saw nothing
of Capt. C. until I saw him at the arsenal.
WM. J. DAVIS.
The statement of Air. I. L. Harris, which fol
lows, proves, that at the very place, of which Mr.
Grantland speaks, while walking rapidly towards
my dwelling, I was engaged in a deliberate conver
sation with him with mvsword under my arm.—.
The place which he describes, witli the waiicrf
50 yards, covers the whole front of the court-
course, including the style:
MiLUBOGEviLr e. 5d January, 1831.
Sir,—In furnishing in compliance with your re
quest, ot the 3lst ult. a simple statement of tde
occurrences of the evening of the 4thOct/ilH*r laM,
as they passed under my observation, I hr g ,J
be understood as not engaging in ihe controversy
of Mr. Grantland and yourself. The time v. hu h
has since elapsed has in mime degree efiaced lie
impressions of that day ; and i now state thorn
with doubt as to their correctness—For suice your
conversation With me on Saturday last, I i, aX ( .
been led to question the accuracy of mv recollec
tion in one or two particulars, which will be found
in the subjoined note.
On Tuesday evening the 4th October last, whil. t
engaged in conversation iu Air. Joseph B. Greenes
store, Capt. Hodge came in in great haste anxious
ly enquiring lor me, and in the same breath stan J
that Col. AJf s family had been murdered bv the
blacks and put into my bands a uoie addressed >n
me containing substantially what Capt. H. had re
peated. Alter reading the note, 1 left the store tor
my office—as I got int© the street, 1 perceived rt
number of persons evidently much excited, run
ning iu different directions. Tiie resuit as 1 have
since learned of the note addressed to me, bavin-r
been intercepted by a friend and its contents com
municated before it was placed in ni\ hands. It s
my impression that i went directly to inv office,
then in Airs. Allen’s new buddings • that alter r* -
mainiug about a minute in il, in looking up some
ammunition ike. 1 closed my office windows m l
doors and started therefrom in tiie direction of Mr.
T. H. Hail’s, tor my horse—-I had proceeded hut a
few yards when I met Mr. Grantland and Mr. Hm,-
sell* standing in conversation, between mv office
and that of the Clerk of the Interior Court. In a
siiort time after separating from them, i was over
taken by you, walking rapidly w ith a sword und« r
your arm, in the same direction which I was ir<>-
ing. You began a conversation with me in Ti <±
street between Wootan’a grocery and the C'leri s
office opposite. You staled that you had been in
formed that I had received a letter containing sa I
nneingeiice, and begged permission to read it—veu
were told by me that I had placed it in the hancs

.he fact <>f going directly to my pffi<-e and a» to i pares
w here I conversed with Mr. CiVaudand and Mr. Hansen.
Though doubling in these porticuhu-s, i cannot auoge:lit
er ysciU my impressions.
What arc we to think of the heart of that roan,
who has raised a slander so lalsc, and who has per*
severed in it, with sucli obstinate malignity ?
The affair which occurred at tJie State House h
unworthy of-public notice: and I "should pass it by,
but that mv silence might by stmie, be deemed an
admission of tiie truth of Air. Grantland s state
ments. His.account of the -conver°aiw»n between
us, is a gross fiction, in nil its parts. His descrip
tion ohtiie encounter also, is entirely fictitious. Hr
who preteuds to detail tiie conversation, which
preceded, does not now know, whether he struck
(and it was his only blow) with his open hand, or
witli his fist! Either he will not tell tiie truth; or
his mind was so bewildered, tliat lie caunnt remem
ber the facts. Has lie forgotten that I took his
sword cane out of his hand, and threw it out of the
door? The statements of Mr. W. J. W. VVelborn,
will prove, in direct contradiction to the boasts ot’
this hero ou paper, that almost insianliv alter the
beginning of the affair, and helbre the interference
of auy other person, 1 had w ounded him, and driv
en lam hack: and that after I had desisted, and the
combat was over, like a vile murderer he drew a
pistol on me. A Air. Lindsey, of Hall, and a Mr.
Marshall, of Jones, saw the whole transaction:
and if desirable, their statements- will he obtained.
