DEVELOPMENTS.
MIR. James Hamilton of S. G. was invited TO cee-
brate the 18th July at "Slab Town"-but he declined
the invitation in letter, from which we make the
following extract

like Mr. Hamilton, towards any distinguished cti-
zen.
But what shall we say of the design which he ex
presses of publishing Mr.. RS private letters? We
hope he will first weigh the matter we-as the pub
hcation OF one letter may give rise great deal of
unpleasant discussion. The Globe gives some
warnings upon the subject in the following para

written on the "Greai Doings at Shutdown, South

meanwhile, we must be permitted to express our
snrprIze at the tone which is now employed by
Messrs Calhoun, Hamilton, and others. These gen
