that many other things. in this weird be,

TFor the Radical



Mr.. ADAMS: 1t is but natural for one
in your situation TO feel a commendable
zeal for the welfare Of the place Of his
home and interests, and to feel a just So
licitude at every thing even remotely
tending to the injury of the home of his
adoption. But at the same time, l trust,
as the publisher of the only newspaper
in the county, that You are possessed of a
spirit of sufficient hberality to permit the
free discussion inyour columns, ofsubjects
of general interest to the whole county,
whether such discussion seem to be cal
cula.ed to promote or %injure the welfare
of that home. With these remarks, |
must request of you the favor to review
the remarks of Judge Edwards in your
last paper, in reply to mine of a previous
date. And in doing this, for the sake OF
convenience, shall address myselfto the
Judge directly.
You, Mr.. Judge, commence by ex-
pressing your extreme repugnance to en-
tering into a newspaper controversy SC.
Oh! what a pity for your W reputation,
that you had not felt a little more of that
delicacy of feeling, before your preiu-
dices imPelled you to descend from the
elevated rank and dignity of an impartial
Judge, to enter the arena of public con-
trovcrsy for the purpose of discussing a
question with which you had no right to
NEEDLE, until it came officially before you.
1t might have saved you from some
qualms Of conscience and your friends
from some modification, that they are
compelled to acknowledge, notwithstand-
ing your feeble effort at indication
You then charge me with breathing
throughout, a spirit of malice, SC. You
are mistaken, Judge. | did not, nor do
not entertain the least unkind feelings to-
wards you as Mr.. Edwards, bnt as judge
Edwards, SO far as your conduct has
manifested itself in either your first or
last communication, | can scarcely find
proper language strong enough to ex-
press the condemnation which | think
your conduct merits, and it was solely
against that conduct that my remarks
were directed; and you will perceive
that l studiously avoided any personality
against you except so far as necessarily
connected with this subject. You next
charge M with evading the subjects in
controversy. Here again Judge, you
are mistaken, and your remark forcibly
reminds me of the drunken man who
thought every n around him drunk be-
cause he could not see straight. 1t is
you Judge, who have evadcG the ques-
tons at issue, and instead of combining
yourself to them, or replying to my char
ges, you have attempted by a trick, often
heretofore resorted to by others, to draw
off public attention from the odium that
justly attaches to your conduct, to wit:
by a low and contemplate effort at per-
sonality against the supposed author.
Your sage guessing at the ruthor of"Jus-
.tice," and the more vulgar epithets that
you have heaped on him by no means

The Caterpillars.--A writer in the
Gospel Banner, says that this is to be
a great year for caterpillars on fruit
trees, but adds that they may be de-
stroyed now, thus:
snake a strong ley or soap suds
strong enough to bear an egg, and
with a brush or piece of cloth, wash
the infested limbs. They will kill
every mothers son of the eggs, and
you will see no caterpilIar's beds up
on them in May or June. Even with
out regard to caterpilIars, it is an ex-
c~ellent plan, every spring, TO wash
trees with strong soap suds. This
will kill various sorts Of insects in
the egg-it will cleanse and renovate
the bark, and promote the health and
fruitfulness of the tree. Try it. Be
not afraid of injuring the tree, even
if the ley is so strong Is to blister
your hands. 1t will do no harm if
applied before the buds are much
swollen; but it will kill the young

gave notice of his determination to
destroy all the mulattoes on the is
land, this General who had a mulattc
wife and three children. went home
he shot his wife, and dashed all his
chiIdren's brains out. He then went
to the King and informedhim Of what
he had done, and Christopher, enrag'

struck out one of the murderers eyes
with bis cane. You may imagine
what the people felt at having such a
commander. The troops were de-

more than 400 out of 1000 left, when
one division Of the bcseiging army
marched into town, and joined
by all lhe Government troops. Two
days afterwards, the remainder of
the army came in, making about
5000 in all, but they were very order
" and quiet. In the meantime, Col.
Touro, who commanded the arsenal.

he would surrender. This alarmed
the inhabitants, and about two-thirds
Of them deserted the place. He kept
the town in this state for two days.
and about seven o'clock on the Sec
ond dav, seated himself in the Nigga
zine with powder strewed all around
him, and applied the match. The ex-
plosion was tremendous. The arse
nal was nearly in the centre of the
town, and nearly all the doors and
windows, within 600 yards were
thrown open. and some stones, weigh
ing 900 pounds were thrown 500
The arsenal and fifteen other
buildings were burnt, but the wind

the flames were stopped. The insur-

Of Colonel Touro. and it is said that
The latter could not brook the idea of
himself up to his junior officer,
md hence his resolution of blowing
himself up with TIE arsenal.
