Small Por. We yesterday received letter
from Gilclrist's bridge, n. c., abo1t midway be-
tween this town and Fayetteville, which states
that man was confined in that ncighborhood
by the small pox. He has no doubt communica-
ted it to others, as he was confined two weeks
before the disease was known to be small pox.
The letter does not state where he took the nfcc-
ton.

The toast referred to in the following CON-
munication was without tho knowledge Of the
Editor, very improperly, though inconsidcrately,
printed among those handed in for publication
By member of the committee.
Communicated.
Mr.. EDIToR,-
The undersigned, a Committee on the
part of the Chcraw Light Infantry Compa-
nv, beg leave to call Your attention to the
Toast of Mr.. II. n. B. Watson, rs incor-
porated among the volunteer toasts given
on the 4th inst. and published in your paper
of the 18th. We deem it u duty VIC owe to
those present at the dinner, ard to the pub
lie, to state that the sentiment Of Mr.. Wat
son, complimentary ofone Martin Fdn Bu-
rem. was not offered at the dinner, nor was
It handed US for publication and we speak
our own, and we think the sentiments Of
every one present, (except Mr.. Watson)
when we say that such sentiment would
have met withno other response but ''groans
and hisscs." As Mr.. Watson has taken
advantage of his occupation as Setter Of
Type, of inserting his slarish toast, we hope
you will allow him the exclusive privilege Of
setting up this communication. We per-
secutc no man for opinions sake; but as
no such sentiment as that of Mr.. Watson
was offered, we cannot allow it to pass in
silence. Freedom Of opinion is the very
essence OF our civil and political institutions,
and every man has Il right to think for hlm-
self. But are do rot think this occasion
called for such sentiment; nor do VIC be-
levc the subject oft worthy. We therefore
think it Our duty to give it our reprobation
in such manner as will most eficctually
free us from censurc from those present and
the public.
We rejoice that the People Of South Ca.
rolina are better employed than President
making, and arc still free from wearing the
Kuerg Of any man. We will thank YOU to
publish this, and oblige your ohedient SER
wants,
