To Till: PUBLIC. I am compelled to appear before the public, ♦’ to vindicate mvself and *«©n«ls, f™> the,- unfounded calumnies contained man Editorial • article which appeared some weeks ago, in I the Recorder ami Spy. edited bv M. IL Garth- , t right in Dahlonega, headed Murray County , i Victory, as follows : “The Murray County Victory—Wr understand. I from an authentic source, that > <>l.

The facts in relation to' tins important event, as we are inhumed, are briefly m follows; n di.iicuhy. some IO or 12 months since. occurred bct.-.cen Bi-hop.iud Gem ge W. Wacasar, Esq. "huh had continued ever | 1 since to grow w i ler ami deeper. In the absence 1 of Wacaser. a f w days since, a violent assnll was : < made upon his Clerk.’a young man by the name i of Davis, by Bishop's claii—at the cmmneiiceineui , of the assault Davis shot one of Bishop’s men. , wounding/..'m severely—The mob fired several . muskets at Dav.. . wmindiug him slightly in the ( leg. and a lady severely—Davis then made his escape. The'mob then commenced a furious: assault upon the storehouse of)' iicasar, ami com pletely demolished it. and destroyed many vain- I able articles of Merchandize. I pon U acasar- I return, he* was informed by the mob. tti.it hr ’ would not be perm it ted io come into town Iu i the course of tw o days he rallied the peaceable , orderly citizens of the county, to the number ol j 72 well armed with rifles, ami marched at their 1 head, to the scene of action, w here he found the mob sorted in the Court House and well armed with Bishop at their hcml—no soon a* AV’.acostir came in sight. Bishop amt hi. clan made a fii.a.' ll ', charge upon Wacasar, believing he would be eu- | wbled to fiighten bis company into submissiovi- 11 They had. however, come there to restore peace, and had resolved to do so at the risk of bloodshed. ! j and was in truth as eager for the light as Bishop j ~ aermerf to be.—The rille company was drawn up f in battle array and the word ready given, when v Bishop came iu gun shot, at this critical moment he perceived the great danger ahead and lustily bawl- ( s ed out for quarters stacked his arms and agreed to 1 give his recognizance for his appearance at the ' next Court. Thus, we trust has beeu settled the disturbances of Murray county, and henceforth f we hope her citizens will lie secure in their per- 1 c sons and property, which has. so long and so j shamefully been the subjects of the most outrage- t ous abuses with perfect impunity. “Well done - t Murray county, go ahead you know you are i right-" ’ ’ I J This Editor should have recollected, that nothing is more essential to the dignity of the ,[ press, and of those who conduct it, than a sa- < ( cred regard for truth and the characters of in- , viduals ; and altho’ I am unacquainted with 1 ■ the source from whence he derived his infer- I 1 mation, it is sufficient for me, that he endorses I for its correctness ;to all which, I give the 1 most unqualified contradiction. Under the aspersions thus cast upon my character and conduct, I deem it a duty *. which 1 owe to tlie public and myself, to pre sent a plain unvarnished statement of the whole 1 transaction, which is briefly as follows : Mr. George W. Wacasar and myself, ' were in the habits of friendship until last fall, j * when he became dissatisfied with the nomina tion of a candidate to represent the county, since which time, we have had no further inter course—not one word having passed between us ; altho’ he speaks ot a difficulty of ten or ( twelve months standing, which has no founds- i tion in truth. Some time in March last, a difficulty or- ’ curved between two young men in this place, jI a Mr. Bucnannan and a Mr. Oates, entirely of a i private nature. I was not present, nor had 1 directly or indirectly, any agency or concern m ; the affair.—They perhaps passed a few blows j 1 and separated. On the same day, Buchannan's father commenced a conversation with Oates, on the subject of die difficulty, when Oates was surrounded by several persons armed, who ap peared determined to injure him. At this time, ■ the friends of Oates came to his relief, and a considerable quarrel ensued, and his friends be ing the most numerous, those who were urging Bueiiannan into the difficulty, were compelled to re’roat into their houses. They sent a run ner for Davis, whom the editor of the Recorder and Spy, designates as Mr. \\ acasar’s clerk, who came in company with several other per sons, with rifles in their hands, and remained about the place for seveial hours, or perhaps days. In all this matter I had nothing to do, nor was I present until it bad ceased. Sometime after this affair took place, Mr. Wacasar left here, leaving Mr. D avis in his store house. Another person named Keliv was with Davis, and much news was carried by Davis, to the persons engaged inthe affray, and many threats were said to have been made bv him, which aroused the indignation of every citizen in the place, with a few exceptions. Several were snapped at in passing the street at night, near Wacasar’s store house, until the citizens considered it dangerous for such a state of things to exist any longer ; and on Saturday the 16th of April, they determined with one ac cord to put a stop to those movements ; and ac cordingly assembled, for the purpose of having an explanation from Davis and Kelly. About that time, Davis was seen, escorted by the lady ( who the editor says was badly woun- ded) across the square into her house, and very soon he came out at the door, with a pistolpre sented, fired at the company, and ran back to the same lady f,<r a seeond pistol, which she was, as I am informed, in the act of' handing to him, when the ball from a pistol fired at Davis, (after he had first shot at the company,) she says struck her on the inside of the leg, very slight ly. Kelly, wliohadfficn much about Waca sar’s store, and who had attempted to shoot [tersoiis while passing by the house, fled about this time, and the company believed, had retreated into the store house. They iinmedi proceeded to the store, and demanded entrance —no person replied, and in a moment of xe citement, they broke down the door for the purpose of seizing him ; but it is believed, he became alarmed, fled through a window, and has left the country altogether. During the whole transaction, I was at my own residence, several hundred yards from the town, confined by indisposition; but the ex citement became so great, that I went to town, and advise-'I all my friends to desist, which they did upon a moment’-, reflection. On tbe next evening, Maj. Isaac Baßer came to town, at the request of Mr. Wacasar, and informed me, that Wacasar had asked him to come, for the purpose of ascertaining if the excitement wax as high as it was represented to be. I informed Maj. Baker, that I had m idea that Mr. Wa casar would he interrupted if: he came peaceably, ami atl< ruled to his business but that the c’xciterncnt was high, ttnd 1 drl not believe if Davis returned with his gun, le would be safe, , Nothing more was heard from them nt tint I time, and on Monday, I advised our friends to give themselves up to the civil authority, and enter into bonds for their appearance at the next term of our Superior Court, to answer any charge which ni ight be brought against them. This they did on the 18th of April. The sheriff was repeatedly asked if he had any warrants fol any of our friends, which he posiitevly denied. Thus matters stood, until Sunday tlie 24th, when some of our friends from the country, came arid informed us that preparations were making to attack us that night in our beds. This report produced some excitement, and two per sons were sent to tbe sheriff to enquire if be had authorised any such proceedings, which be positively denied. We then called upon tie deputv sheriff, who als» stateil that lie had no u n rants, nor had lie any knowledge ol any such movement being in coptemplation; but staled, that about the time of file former fray be had been solicited to join in taising a mob, for the purpose of destroying some of their eninties in Spring Place: but remarked, that he had discouraged the idea, and recommended them to pursue a different course. Thev had out that night as spies, W ilson R. Young, and one or two others, who teported to the balance, that the citizens of Spring Place were apprised of their movements, and - accor dingly they concluded to postpone their attack until day-light. Early in the morning, on Monday the 25th of April they made their npinarance, marching in martial order, some with guns, and some with out. 'l'lie citizens generally, with three or four ■ exceptions, armed themselves, and advanced to I meet them ; and when they came to the border ot town, thev were informed thattliey could ad- I vance n > farther, until their business was ex- i plained. Much clamor immediately ensued, j nom both sides, and W ilson lx. oung, who ; claimed to be their commander, ordered them, . three times to tire. The List lime I became provoked, at his folly, and uncalled for com-I in ind, and re|H'ated’ for them to tire if they ’ chose, but stated io the company,that I thought niiiiv of them were misled, and it they were i not, all we wished to know, was, whether they intended a tight, or wbethel they w re coming under the pretence of arresting any person present. Thev stated, they had warrants, but s > many voices were at the same time heard, that nothing could be understood. 1 then stepped fifteen or twenty paces in front, and enquired who was their commander ? Young again attempted to speak to me, when I hitrirmed him in short order, that I would not noiic" him in any respect, and requested tlx? comi'any to guard against his advice. He then went off and annoyed the ladies of the place, by stating that they had come to burn down the town, , and ki.’l every body in it. I again called j fir the commai.’der, and they sent out George W. Wacasar. J asked him if they wanted a! fight or not I I»e answered not, if the matter: could be otherwise settled. 1 then proposed for each company to send out two men, and if thev could agree upon ai.’Y mode ol settlement, to report the same to their respective friends, and let the matter end there. On their part, George W. Wacasar and Wil-’on Norton, and our part, Stephen Paxon and myr'clt were sent out. We met, and came to the con elusion, that the matter had better be dropped—af»d accor-' dingly drew up an article to that effect, which is here inserted as follows : Spring Place, April 25tli, 18-36. We the undersigned, a committee chosen to adjust a difficulty existing between the citizens i of Spring Place, and a portion of the citizens of, Murray county, do mutually agree that all dis- : ficulties arising out of the case of an attack upon ' the house of George W. Wacasar in said town ; together with all matters and things connected with the same, be mutually compromised, upon j the following terms : Each party is to suffer the other to go unmo lested, except it is in self defence. GEORGE W. WACASAR, WILSON NORTON, (Signed) WILLIAM N. BISHOP. STEPHEN PAXON. Thus fellow-citizens have I given a brief un varnished history of a transaction which has been so greatly magnified and grossly misrepre sented by the editor of the Recorder and Spy. lie asserts that 1 “bawledlustily lor quarters”—, ■ that we “stacked oar arms,” —and that 1 i “agreed to give a recognizance for my appear- ' ance at the next court; ” all which I pronounce I to be wholly without foundation, and destitute ' of truth, and leave him to his remedy; and to his editor al; as a whole, I give the most unqual- ■ filed centradittiDTt. ( So far from calling for quarters or stacking our arms, mvself and all the company held our arms, until it was mutually agreed to send out two persons from each party for the purpose ot effecting an amicable adjustment of the contro versy ; and as it regards warrants and recogni zances, all the warrants which had issued, were torn up by George W. Wacasar, when the fore going agreement was signed ; and thus ended ; an affair which had its origin in a private quar- j rel between two individuals, without my know ledge, and in which I felt no interest or con- | I cern, and which has been made the subject of slandering and vituperating my character by several presses, personally and politically hos tile to me, in Georgia and Tennessee ; as they did during the past winter, when it was public ly announced that I had absconded with the State’s funds—that I had left my country for my country’s good, without discharging the last quarter’s pay of the guard under my command, &c. I refer to the calumny of last winter, on ly to shew, in connexion with the late outrage ' upon my character, with what avidity I am as tjjiiled by my enemies regardless of justice or ’ i truth, and particularly to point out the course of ’ the Recorder and Spy in relation to the asper ! sion last mentioned. When the falsehood of the j statement of last winter was made manifest, the Southern Recorder and other opposition prints, ’ had candor and dignity enough tocnrrect it,while the Recorder and Spy observed a deadly silence, leaving the columns of their mammoth Journal to carry down to posterity, (if it shotikl not pe ris hby the way,) a base and slanderous impu- I tation upon my character uncontradicted; and ■ that too, with a perfect knowledge of its false hood. The number of men who were marched upon [ this place, was fifty-four instead of seventy-two, and in place of two days, they were ten days in raising them; and many of that number were told that the Governor had issued orders to cal) them out, and they would be ruined if they did not obey. I understand a muster roll is made out, containing many fictitious names, as well as- the names of Tennesseans, who have set tled near the State line, whose names the Edi tor of the Recorder and Spy ought to publish, that the public may be the better able to judge whether they are citizens of Georgia or Tennes see, and the standing to which they are entitled in the community where they are best known. Among that number will be found the name of ; James Rose, <»f infamous memory, who was dri j ven from this State for his vicious habits, and is now a resident of Bradley < omity, Tennessee. : I could sa y much more upon this subject, hut .my object being nothing more than to present , a true history of an tiffair, in which my charac j ter and conduct have been bitterly assailed and i greatly misrepresented, and having accomplish ed that purpose, 1 cheerfully submit the decis ; ion to the impartial jiidgme nt of my fellow citizens, in the full confidence that they will ; award a just and righteous verdict.
