To the P ÜBLI C.
THE vil ulent attack upon me, in the gazette
ol toe Rate of South-Carolina, of the 15th/
°1 J ul y, by a writer under the tignature ofCivis,
is or loydberal a nature, that, to enter into a
purification of my conduct, on the falfe and mali
cious charges exhibited by Juch an author, in such
language, would, in some measure, degrade me to
the level of his infamy. But, left a total iilence
on tins occahon Thouid be construed into a con
fcioulnefs or meriting the. epithets there bestowed,
h™, n to lay before the public the behaviour of
Civis on this occahon; which will be the bell:
comment on his text.
Ilie firft notice I received of this publication,
was late in the evening of Ihurfday the 15th ult.
Between 5 and 6 0 clock of the next morning, I
called on General Pinckney, and requested him to
accompany me to ; Mrs; Timothy's, tu^d^mand of
her the name of the author oCT.e 'paper signed
Civis. On feeing Mrs. Timothy, ihe declined
mentioning the author s name until she had firft
apprized him of the demand; and proposed fending
me word, as soon as she had paid him that com
pliment..,
About nine o'clock she called at my house, and
acquainted me tnat the author had desired her not
!%£ e u F his na^e; and said he would give her a
tfindemnity, to secure .her against tl% copse.
quences of a denial. On my earnestly expostulating
with her on the impropriety of such conduct, and
infilling on the name of the author, she promised
to give her final answer by 11 o'clock^ At that
hour she called on me, and mentioned that she had
again Seen the author, and that he had at last con
tented that his name should be known:—fhe then
declared Henry Peronneau, Esq; was the author
of the paper iigned Civis, and delivered me the
following , letter.
.Madam,
" In pursuance of your request, I notify that
you .aie at liberty to give up the author's name,
refpe&ing a piece under the Signature of Civis, re
lative to Colonel Horry.
J am, Madam,
Refpe&fully yours, &c.
FI. PERONNEAU."'
- July 10, 1784.
N. B. “ I am severely indisposed and have
taken phyfick, which confines me to my room, or
I Should wait on you in person."
To Mrs. Timothy.
At my desire General Pinckney immediately
waited on Mr. Peronneau, and after some difficulty
was admitted to See him. He told Mr. Peronneau
that Mrs. limothy had given him as the author of
the paper signed Civis; and that I desired to know
whether Mr. Peronneau was willing to retra& it.-
Mr. Peronneau refused.—General t inckney then
mentioned, I had authorized him to inform Mr.
Peronneau that I intended to ride out that evenin,
at 6 0 clock, to the battery on Hampftead, properly
aimed, and attended by a friend; and expected to
fee Nir. Peronneau at that time and place, armed
and attended in the fame manner. -Mr. Peronneau.
answered that he was bound over to the peace, and
that from General Pinckney's knowledge of the
law, lie muff be convinced that lie could mot
accept a.challcnge, without forfeiting the recogni
zance of tire gentlemen who were his Sureties.
General 1 incaney observed, lie Should liav3 conli
deiea that before he gave the offence complained
"'' ^' *'°°" m .^^ his recognizance would be
forf^dHyTs riding out a^^^^
ing himfclf when attacked.- -lie answered it was
very well—he understood h'im,--but would not
give a verbal confers, lead he Should endanger.his
Securities. .About 2 o'clock General Pinckney
received from him the following Tetter. ' ~
SIR,
“ When you went away, I found by experi
ment, that the tacit consent I gave this morning
to your proposition, was not only imprudent, but
really impraHicable; my previous indisposition,
