GENERAL M'CALLA.

In Saturdays Globe we alluded to
the repulse given to the defamers of
General M'Calla. We did not then
know that he had been assailed other
wise than by the general abuse of the
press enlisted in the service of Mr..
Clay. But it seems that William j.
Graves, who performed so handsome
y under Mr.. Clay's advice in the main
tenance of the honor and gentleman
ship Of James Watson Webb, has IN
dertaken to make way with the repu-
tation of Gen. M'Cslla, because it
storms an obstacle IL the path Of his
kzMr. Clay'S} ambition. As MIR. Graves
has been traversing Tennessee, to
spread his traduetion of General NJ
Gala, in public speeches, throughout
that hardly contested State, the assail-
ed has felt it his duty TO avail himself
Of the integrity of the press, TO con-
front his accuser. He has put forth in
the newspapers card, which responds
to Mr.. Graves, vindicates his own char
acter, and makes good the facts for the
bare statement Of which he has been
ever since hunted by the bloodhound
pursuit OF Mr.. Clay's friends:-Gloue.
Sentinel of the valley. [volume] (Woodstock, Va) 1841-1848, 1844-10-10
NJ Gala, who for half a century, has
been a citizen Of this county. Know

NJ Gala, who for half century, has
been citizen Of this county. Know
ing him ultimately; NE feel that, 50 far
as Kentucky is concerned, his charac-
Ter might safely be left for its defence
to its own strength, but that he may
be placed on true grounds before those
who have not this knowledge, We I'M
hesltatlngly assert, without fear Of
contradiction from any quarter worthy
Of attention, that no man in our COM
munity stands higher in the scale of
virtue, truth, and integrity; and we
doubt not that such will be the testimo-
ny of the honest portion of even his
political opponents, who have esteemed
the char acter of the man, though hos
tile to his political opinions:

your obedient servant,
G. JOHNSON.

DEAR SIR: Your letter, dated
Clarksville, Sd inst, in which you In
quire OF US what character is borne by
General M'Calla, of our city, Cor integ-
rity and veracity, have been received!
You say that his chracter has been i'm
peached by Mr.. Graves in his late Wis
it to Nashville, and that your object is
to vindicate it,
We are obliged to you for having
given US the opportunity of doing JUS
tice to Gen. M'Calla. He haslived in
this city from childhood up to this day,
and has during that time, "a half centu-
ry,) to our knowledge, possessed those
qualities and princi Piles which elevate
man in society. For honor and in
tegrity we defy investigation into his
past life, and feel perfectly confident,
that if no political object was to be OBJ
tanned by assailing his character both
parties would unite in sustaining it.
At a very early age he volunteered
in the service of his country; was in the
northwestern army in the seryere cald-
paign of 1912-13; fought with gallant
ry, as adjutant of the 9th regiment in
the two battles of Raisin, for which his
name was reported by his commanding
officer to the government among those
who distinguished themselves, and has
from that period to the present time,
been an incorporating democrat Of
the Jefferson school. But sfor those
principles he would not now be assail-
ed. We assure you that his character
for veracity and integrity stands as
high in this community as that of any
other man in tive make no excep-
ton. In conclusion, we state that
Gen. M'Calla ran for the Legislature
last year, and out Of vote Of 1900,
obtained / ,036 votes, many of whom
were wings.

and resolutions were unanimously a.
dopted, viz:
Whereas this committee have OBJ.
served a recent systematic effort by the
whlg press Of Kentucky, aided by VIM.
j. Graves, Zone of the whig electors of
this State, at Nashville, Tennessee,t to
assail the charac, er and depreciate the
standing of our esteemed fellow citi-
zen, General John .M'Calla;and where
as this committee, indiuiduaUy and
collectively, have been long and init
mately acquainted with the personal
and PoliticaLh4story of General Meal
la: therefore
Be ii res0gred, That in common
with the democracy Of Kentucky, this
committee cordially unite in esteeming
Gen. M'Calla amongst the purcst and
and most patriotic of our public men;
that IN all the duties of citizen, he is
scrupulously circumspect, faithful and
honest, and in discharge of his obliga-
ton as a Christian and man, punctil-
ious and unimpeachable. As soldier
he has served his country with the
highest honor and distinction, and as
public officer of long standing, is un>
blemished in the execution of his many
responsible engagements.
RESOLVED; That detraction aimed
at the private, professional, or political
estimation Of Gen. M'Galla, come it
from what source it may, is harmless
IN Kentucky, and should meet with the
prompt reprobation of all candid and
honorable persons elsewhere.

LEXINGTON, Oept. ., 1874.
Sir: Your letter of the Cd of Septem-
Der, instant, was handed to me from
tle post office: In it you say: Having
heard that | was present at 5urgod
feast near Lexington, on the 4th OF
July l843, at which Mr.. Clay was Il
guest, you request me to state wheth-
he Mr.. Clay played cards on that oc-
casion for naqay, I'd. Whether / have
known Mr.. Clay for money gears inti=
naately, and whether he has not been
in the habit Of profane swearing during
the whole course of my acquaintance
with him.
In answer to the first interogatory,
I state that, being informed there was
to be meeting Of the people near my
farm, and not far from Lexington, and
being on my farm on the day you state,
I rode to the place where / was told
they were to be assembled. When I
reached the place, I found about fifty
persons assembled; but if there was a
burgo0, I certainly have forgot it. On
my arrival, saw number of card ia.
bles set out, and a party were engaged
at play on most Of. them; and among
the parties engaged at play, l observed
one in which Mr.. Clay was engaged
at playing at cards, and saw specie
staked up, as ! supposed, by the party
of which .Mr. Clay constituted one, as
long as remained, which was about
four hours. think Mr.. Clay contin-
ued to play, except when he arose to
drink or dine; at least, as started for
home, passd lear where he had been
playing when | first saw him engaged
at play, and he was still playing at the
same table. In relation 10 your second
iterrogatory, decline answering it,
from the consideration that l hare no
recollection of any case that has hap
pened such as you are DESTROYS of in
formation upon, other than what must
have occurred in our personal inter-
course, and of that will not speak,
certainly not to Mr.. Clay's prejudice.
In former years MIR. Clay and myself
We're frequently together, but for many
years have had but little personal in
.tercourse, and for the last four or FIVE
none whatever with Mr.. Clay.
Very respectfully,

a certain reverend gentleman was eli

from the imputation Of :n1uturality, aid
as that certificate is, by far, the most
extraordinary one | ever saw, and
which, in fact, could not be safely Civ
en- by any person, except by one of the
Siamese twins for his fellow, l must
be allowed to offer the evidence in the
case, in contrast with the certificate,
and ask the judgment Of the public up
on it. From my knowledge of the
character of that gentleman's church
associates-of their piety and honesty,
and zeal in the cause of religion, he
could not be left to more severe Judges
than the members of his own church;
and to them surrender him.
