Mr.. Churchill has noticed some incorrect
statements in the public prints, respecting il
and wishes them corrected. The. charge
that he had been negligent, about getting
insurance, is unfounded. He had three
hines been to the agent al Castletou to OBJ
|fain insurance, and each time had been de-
feated by difficulty in getting a: a descriP-
ton Of measurement, distances, &C.. and
he had also taken measures for securing q
call from another agent. f. - @
AS to the manner in which the fire took
from the stove pipe, he supPoses that the
SCOT must have been inAamed-as it was a
windy night--by which the pipe was so
heated as TO communicate fire to the cell
ling, through which the pipe went, surround,
ed by an earthern pot, the pipe being Plas,
4ered around, within the pot, with mortar.
4 Hay was burnt with the barn TO the
amount Of about IS tons. About one third
OF their clothing was destroyed, and some
OF their furniture.
Il was cold, and showing at the time, the
wind blowing keenly from the north. The
family suffered severely before they could
be removed to neighbors: several OF them
were frozen moro or less.
Mr.. Churchill wishes, particularly, to ex
press his gratitude to his neighbors anC
friends for their sympathy and kind Office:

is more frequent than corrections and al

perfectly persuaded that, in the present in
stance, fewer alterations than usual have
been made. because the speech abounds M
facts founded upon official documents, and T
have distinct recollection that Mr. Bond was
perfectly prepared with the proofs to MAIN
tain his assertions-every one Of which L
am convinced can be fully sustained. Ii
is possible the error has arisen from tho
fact that Mr. Dnncan's puported speech in
apparent reply to Mr. Bond, was never de-
livered--of that l am witness, as | was
present in the House, and observed tho
whole procedure. Mr. Duncan did not ut
ter six sentences of his published remarks,
when he was called to order and compelled
10 take his seat---which he did with the an
nouncement that he should publish his
speech though not delivered, and it was
distinctly understood by every member
then in his seat, that the speech about to
be published was nerer delivered, and Mr.
Bond particularly requested that the public
alton should be accompanied by state
ment that the speech was not delivered, as
lit had been he might feel bound to reply
TO it. Mr. Davee must recolect this, and
will. doubt not, confirm the statement.

Extract from Mr. Jefferson's Circular,
addressed to Ofiice-holders under himself.
The President of the United States has
seen with dissatisfaction, officers of the
General Government, taking on various
occasions, active parts in the election of
public functionaries, whether of the Gener-
al or State Government. Freedom of cleo
ton being essential To the mutual indepen-
dence of government and of the different
branches Of the same government, so vital
ly cherished by most of our constituents, IT
is deemed improper for officers depending
on the Executive of the Union, to attempt
TO control OF influence the free exercise Of
the elective right 1t is expected that no
officer will attempt to influence the votes of
other men, nor take any part in the bust
