The Litchfield County post., 1827-07-26

POndcnce is now demanded by several of the public papers:
 So far as VIC have been able to find out, Tumor is, | that Mir. Southard in conversation with somebody, | somewhere took occasion tO state that some of the credit of defending New-Orleans, should be paid to Mir. Monroe, then Secretary of War, for the promp- titude with which ho had moved men and munitions | for its defence &c.--Gen. Jackson was informed of the remark, took offence at the terms in which this was expressed by Mir. $. and sent him angry note thereupon by friend, perhaps by Gen. Eaton. To this note Mir. SOuthard wrote reply and handed it to Gen. E. who refused to receive it because was seal 1 cd He had brought an open note and expected the } reply to be accordingly. 1 Mir. s. remarked, that he had only known Gen. Ea- ton as the bearer of note from Gen. Jackson, and supposed he would have no objection to take the an he had prepared for that note. As he declined however, he would avail himself of the Post Office 1 through which he accordingly sent it. Upon receiving this letter Gen. Jackson immediate y wrote again Mr. Southard. It is this last letter which has excited the most remarks. It was shown by Mir. $. to friend two matter of actual cu- rlosity. Some of Gen. Jackson's friends obtain cd rnmr ot It's contents, and called to request Mir. 5. to show 1t to him-and upon perusal requested fur ther, as friend of Gen. Jackson, to withdraw that letter. Mir. s. consented and it was withdrawn ac- cOrdingly So the tale goes; shall have more of it perhaps,-Marylaad RepubIican. | Duel We learn from the Providence American
 that duel was fought Pawtucket the 18th inst. l between French gentleman of high responsibility, who acts tn official capacity under the French Gov l ernnent, and PolOnese, formerly General in the 1 French Army during the revoution-the names of the individuals cannot learn. l. seems that they came with their seconds and surgeons from Boston to Paw
 ucket on Tuesday evening, selected their ground l on the new Turnpike short distance from the Vil- age, met at o'clock in the morning, and the first bre the Frenchman was shot through the feshy part | ot both thighs. His antagonist who uninjured saw him conveyed to Blake's tavern, where cordial { forgiveness exchanged, and then took abrupt leave of the State, having departed is said in the NeW-York steamboat. The wounded gentleman is ! f0 hn rni Inv h IS to be very dangerous. The affair conducted with so much secrecy that nothing was known of the par ties till the whole had terminated.
 l Pauperism.--Covernor Pumer, of New Hamp- I shire, who Is writing in the Portsmouth Journal, | Tn one of his numbers treats of pauperism. He says "In some towns the project has been adopted to purchase house and farm, and appoint an agent to supernend the labor of the paupers in cuitvang and improving 1t. In nne times out of ten this mode, n stead of diminishing, increases the expense of supp porting the poor. The eligible and cheapest mode have known for country towns is annually to vendue the board, clothing, and taking care of the poor to the lowest bidder, whom the selectmen con- sder suitable for that purpose This will place the poor of the town in families, where they will be well treated, and where the interest of the dertakers will require the paupers to labor and be in duStrlous, and in some measure support themselves
 If we except sickness and old age, all assistance to the poor which does not promote industry IS rather premium to idleness and improVidence, than acts of l be wholesome, but cheap and their clothing plain but sufficient to protect them aganstte nnccmency otthe seasons"
 That distant events strike with more surprise, andy take more entire possession of minds than those \ which pass almost under eyes, is remark as ancient as it is unqucsonably true. At this time our papers pretty generally occupied in noticing fact l stated in the House of Commons by Mir. Huskisson, that SiAf Ba"da''na Ha'akerchiss are made in Eng land and exported India. This is curious fact, exhibiting the revolutions of commerce, aud the tri- umohs of skill and ingenuity. A few years ago, near
 y all the white cotton goods consumed in the United che cotton goods from the port of Philadelphia to Can l ton, as an article of commerce. We may also add, that large quantities of cotton goods are exported from the port of Boston to Smyrna.
 Militia Trniningi in l686.-We notice that at the last May training in the town of Alsead, in Massa- chusetts, the exercises commenced with prayer and what is equally commendable, large majority of the soldiers voted to abstain on that day from ali noxica- ting liquors. The commencing military trainings with prayer seems to be the revival Of custom long and devoutly cherished by ancestors in primitive times John Dunton an Enishman, who visited New Eng
 land in 1886, gives the following account of compa- ey training, which he attendcd:-"I It is their custom here for all that can bear to go out training day; but thought pike was best for young sol tier, and so carried pike. And between you and reader there another for it too, and that was, knew not how to shoot off nusket but it was the first time ever was in Being come into the field, the captain called all into close order, in order go to prayer, and then prayed himself. And when our exercises were done, the captain likewise concluded with prayer. Solemn prayer in feld,up- | on day of training, never knew but in New Eng land, where it seems it IS common custom. About three of the clock both exercises and our prayers being over, we had a very noble dinner, to which all the clergy were invited"
 | Colon;z ation Socety-The Secretary of the Ameri- can Colonization Society has given notice that the | Managers making arrangements to fit out or two expeditions for the colony of Liberia, funds shall be received adequate to the accomplish
 nent of this object. The applicants for removal numerous the season most favorable for their depar tnre is near, and the cooperation of the several Aux Hilary Societies, and of all friendly the nsution is earnestly invited in obtaining the necessary effect this important purpose.
