From 1,c Charleston Mercury.

MEssRs. Rs.,EpIroRs.-I have been shewn
a communicaIionin the Courier Of the 29th
inst. copied from the Madisonian, signed
Touchstone, in which / found assertions
that would have astoished me, if i had not
known loo much OF the character OF Whig-
gerry to be surprized at any thing done by
politicians of that party unless it should be
accidentally and unintentionally telling the
plain truth.
1t seems that the adder like course Of a
certain Southern Whig in singing the bo-
som which hrnonrished him and gave him
strength was not enough to satisfy his
craving forreyenge, aud another blow must
be struck od the same spot.
After sentence passed and execution done
this Rhadamanthian Judge condescends
10 inform the victim and the world of what
he was chargedcand condemned.
The assertion made by Touchstone, that
il is well known at the South that letters
from distinguished individuals Of the oppo-
site party mailed at Columbia for persons
in Washington, have never reached their
destination issto use his own eloquent
words, false, slanderous and fabricated. l
never heard oft before and it can hardly
be supposablelhat the Postmaster General
could have essuch complaint made to him
without writing to rne and eudeavouring
TO ascerlainwhether was true or false,
and to ferre, out the guilty one if true. |
have never received notice from the Post
Master General ofsuch complaint.
Will Mr.. Granger say whether he ever
sent me notice of such kind?
To conclude such charge was never
made against me, Or if it were, no great
pains were taken to let me know it, but
where the accuser, judge and executioner
are one person there is no necessity for
hearing evidence on more than one side.
So says bis Honor Judge Rhadamanthus.
B. RAWLS. :
Itwas the practice in the days of Dem
ocracy to Inform Postmasters of all COM

was as,onished by the product Of hay,
which has been good ever since. This
hay is made from rice-grass, the aLeerslo
Orizoides" Of the bolanist, called Nimble
Will, in the upper country, it has a fine
thin stalk, covering from four to five fee!
in length, but not being erect, it does mol
stand more than three TO four feet on the
ground; no part of the stalk is one.eighth
of an inch in diameter, they have been
measured more than six feet long. 1t grows

may he found in every part of the state: it
is killed by,frost, and does;not growin;ihe

have made various experiments with
red clover, herds grass, orchard grass, and
timothy, the two former on wet and dry
soils; after two or three years they have
been overpowered by the native weeds,
grasses, briers and shrubs, which spring up
spontaneously when the soil is unbroken..
The single enemy Of the rice grass is the
rush, large and small, which appears ODE
The only noxious growth of land covered by
running water, and this is SO entirely out
grown by the rice-grass, that notwithstand-
ing its formidable appearance in the spring,
Ihave taken no measures TO eradicate it,
By the end Of Juue the rush is so com.
plelely covered by the grass, ,tha,it is scarce
iythought Of until the ensuing spring. One
great advantage Of this grass is, that you
can choose the time for cutting, as it does
not blossom early. Towards the end of
July it seems to settle or lodge in spots, but
| am not aware of any injury that results.
We commence moving with brier scythe
the first fair weather after oat atharvest-the
task is a quarter of an acre for the mower;
one woman can toss and turn half all acre,
which should be done as soon as it is cut
and pntup into cocks by evening. When
the dew leaves them next morning they are
opened at the top, and after an hours sun
on the hay cut before twelve o'clock of
the preceding day, may be carted home
and put away. Eight or twelve hours
sun is sufficient to cure the hay if properly
tossed and turned Immediately after cut

hay fork. An iron. fork is used for loading;

, ,he fost Utnce at Columbia, 10 Mr.. Pres:
ton and his Richland clique, wasa follows:
Mr.P. in his peripatetic labours in at
tendance on the rolling cider barrel, had
made one of his "electrifyins" speeches,
about the "lihle magician" and Clay's
nobility, and We5ster's Southern spirit,
&c. &c. at 'Tippecanoe and Tyler TOO"
meeting, at Macon, Geo. The Macon
Telegraph, ridiculed him with pointed and
just severity, for the Jim Crow and Zip
Coon buffoonery, in which he INDUCED on
the occasion, called him the ''strollDg poll
tician" &c. and other things, uneasy TO the
stomach Of The sensitive Senator and his
liegemeu. This article was reprinted in
handbills in Columbia and the copies many
of which were distributed from the Office
before the P. NJ. knew of their existence,
were directed and put in the Office at night,
and of course delivered. The P. M. had
no right 10 burn or suppress them, though
perhaps had he done so in violation OF his
duty it would have commended him to
Wing favor and secured him fromsproscrip-
tion. The enraged clique demanded to
know where the handbil was printed-and
a printer in Columbia avowed the printing
and that he was paid for it. He was
asked iftle Postmaster was conc erned in
having i, printed, aad answered "he ,oas
not." They then demanded who paid for
it, and the printer replied that he was au-
thorized to give the name if their purpose
was either 10 sue or to fight The person who
procured the printing. Whereupon they
let the matter drop.
1t was then the performance of his duty
in both instances which is made the pre-
text for his vindictive prescription: and there
is littleness in the entire proceeding a.
gainst him as little honorable TO the Post
Master General who subserved the purpose
of revenge as TO the sProsrciber of Pro-
scription" whom its eonsumatiou has graf
flied. Mr.. r. was bound 10 distribute any
papers directed to persons in Columbia aud
put into his office, and he was bound to
apprise the Senator of the violation of law
under his frank. Had he been Wing
and illegally in,erfered to suppress in the
former, and neglected his duty in the lat
ter case. he would have been Post Master
now. Mr.. P. wanted humble servant in
the Office, and has probably secured one.
1t becomes the Republicans OF the State 10
redress the wrong whenever an opportuni-
ty occurs to 10 so by their votes, by with
holding them from a Wing candidate, when
a Republican who has been prescribed Of
fers for the same station and is competent
to fulfil it.

following strain -
"This is not the entertainment. to which

Ifpersevering endeavors TO oppose and

Of magnitude; and if systematic and un-
compromising hostility to the last war is
evidence Of diplomatic talents, as well as
of genuine patriotism, Mr.. Webster will
make an excellent Secretary of State.
In 1886, when war with France was an-
ticipated, it was proposed to conide the
means OF our defence 10 President Jackson
condi,ioually; Mr.. Webster declared inthe
Senate, that "he would not vote for the
hill, if the enemy were battering down the
walls of the copitol." ais federal friend,
John Quincy Adams, could not hear Mr..
Webster encourage the enemy to odemolish
our capitol and remain silent He took
occasion to'declare in the House of Repre-
sentatives, that "Mr. Webster had only to
take another step, and go over to the en-
emy."
Fellow Citizens! such is an outline Of
the political character of the man whom
the President has called into his cabinet
as chief Premier. Do you still love your
own country? Are you still anxious to do
your duty in reference 10 the welfare Of
your country? 1fso, ar0ufse to sense Of
your danger.
Are the demands of England, made at
this time, founded upon less injustice than
those which Mr.. Webster justified? We
think not. What, then, may we not fear
as to the result of the final adjustment OF
present difficulties with that county,
Freemen, arise!-join in heart and action
