James A. Hamilton, Esq. WASHINGTON.
Sir in answer to your letter of this date,
take the liberty of referring you to Nh
Plumer himself for any explanation of the
statement in his letter of the Goth Decem-
her last.
The information which received in the
spring of 1904 at Washington, was entirely
distinct from and independent of that OF
Mr.. Plumer. A part of it was not that
your father had consented to be placed mt
the head of the project or to take part in
it, but that it had been communicated to
him with view to engage his cooperation
IN IT, and that in the event of necessity for
the employment of military force for its
execution, it was contemplated that he
should he placed at its head. My inform.
ant. to the hest of my recollection, was Mr..
Uriah Tracy, then "a Senator from Connec.
ticut-l say, to the best of my recollection
because, at one of my conversations with
Mr.. Tracy, on this subject, another member
Of Congress, also now deceased, was pres
emf. and am not perfectly sure from which
of them it was that received this infotma.
| ton. After the close Of that session oil
Congress, being at New York on or abou,
the 9TH of April, 1904, Mr.. Rufus King in.
formed me that person had been that day
conversing with him and also with yonl
father, as | understood Mr.. King, in favor
of the project; but that he himself, and he
was happy to say, your father also, entircl,
disapproved it.
This is all the evidence have that YOU
father was made acquainted with the pro
ject; solicited by others to join in it; ant
intended Ivy them to he placed at its head
That he was said TO have consented to at
tend meeting at Boston in the autumn o
1904, stands upon other testimony thar
mine. That he ever assented to the pro
ject Of separation,I do not know or he
lieve, and from the information given m,
by Mr.. King, had reason to believe tn,

REVERSE OF FORTUNE. Last week an
old widow named Scott, alias Thompson,
one of the session paupers of Anstruther,
received intelligence of between il and
El2,O00, having been left her by brothers
son who lately died in India. In such cases
it is natural for such fortunate individuals
to be overjoyed ae otherwise, but the honest
old woman, on hearing of it became COM
pletely disconnected, exclaiming, "whnt
use hae | for sac muckle siller, guide keep
me, ken nae what III doe witt" and ac
tually shed tears on the orcasion. She
clad her nephew when he went away, and
is now well paid for his clothing.

BY the late law respecting taxation, all
wild or unimproved lands are to be ass sesed
at per cent. on the value, instead of per
cent. Ahou, one sixth part of the whole
sum to be raised is to be assessed on male
polls over Is years; but the poll taxes on
any individual, exclusive of highway taxes,
may not exceed 81 so in year. Ministers
of the gospel are not to he taxed by the
parishes or societies of which they are the
settled ministers they are still exempt
from parish taxes in the places where they
are settled, but are to pay town and county
taxes, the same as other citizens.

Behold, how great matter little fire kindleth'
Some years ago, young gentleman, Mr..
r., paid his addresses to the sister of
Mr.. B, with whom he lived in the
habits of intimacy and friendship. And it
so happened, that, at the same time Mr..
b paid his addresses to the sister of
Mr.. L.. AT length these attentions
ripened into nearer connexions, and the
marriages ofboth the young gentlemen were
solemnized at one and the ST me time and
place. While the company were together,
the two young men, now brothers, step
ped out to neighboring house of entertain
ment, with view, us they said. to "break
a hottie of wine together, and bid farewell
to their bachelnrship." While taking the
wine sharp dispute arose between some
gentlemen, who happened to be present.
Unfortunately, the two brothers took sides,
anu as the dispute went on, one gave the
other the he. From this moment hard
words were uttered on both sides, and their
passions rose to the highest pitch. A chal-
lenge was given by one, and accepted by
the other. No delay was desired-their
seconds were chosen, and the duel fought
Immediately. Both fired at the word, and
both shots took effect. Both fell, and lived
long enough to shake hands and forgive
each other-soon after both closed their
ewes in death The reader is left to con-
ceive OF the distress and sorrow of the two
young married ladies and their friends, for
such cannot be descrihed.-N E. Farmer.

CULTURE OF SILK. DR.. Alexander ofN.
Carolina, states that the best substitute for
the mulberry, and that on which silk worms
feed freely and thrive well, is the leaves of
the snow-baN bush. These leaves put out
much earlier in spring, and resist the frost
better than mulberry, and may therefore
become highly useful substitute, especial
ly when the worms are Matched too soon,
either by accident or design. DIR. Alexan-
der also mentions, that the mulberry leaves,
rolled up closely in blankets, hut not pres
sed, will remain fresh for several days, much
longer than in any other way.

1t will be seen by the following correspon-
dence, that Mr.. Adams does not inculpate
Gen. Hamilton, in the plot which he believes
once TO have existed, for acknowledgment of
the Union. On the contrary, he does ample
justice to the patriotism of that pure and exalt-
ed friend of his country There is no necess-
ty for comment upon this brief but important
correspondence.

Our Georgia friends are making them
selves merry at public expense. We find
the following jeu d'espirit in the Augusta
Courier:
"The HICKORY TREE has at length be-
gan to drop its mats. The first five or six
that have fallen, we are afraid are defective.
1t is said to be the same with hickory nuts,
as with other fruit. Some do not mature

have been eaten round by worms. In the
present instance, one B,Gnch is thought to he
defective-another, we know, is Eaton But,
from whatever cause, they may he now ex-

the winds which usually prevail, will bring
down the expected fruit in showers. We a,e
told there are multitudes in waiting to gather
them up, as fast as they can lie thrown
down. We wish those who may he success
