WOOL GROWING.

Some two or three years ago Mr. Patterson,
Of WASHINGTON county Pa, brought plumber OF
fine Sheep into the county oil Bedford. II was
doubted by some whether the climate, soil, &c.
would prove favorable 10 the health of the Sheep,
or TO the quality of the wool. Experience has
settled this point, in manner highly satisfactory,
as will be seen by the following letters, which we
take pleasure in publishing

THE RICHMOND REPUBLICAN.

Not long since, we saw in the Richmond Re-
publican, letter of Gen. Washington, written at
the gloomieSt period of the American war of In
dependence. Its sentiments were so strangely at
variance with our conceptions of the character of
that illustrlous man, that we were at loss what
to think on the subject, not, for a moment, doubt
ing the authenticity of the letter. The National
lntelligencer published statement, made by
Gen. Washington himself on retiring from the
Presidency, now on file in the State Department,
in which this and other letters, the dates and ad-
dress of which are specified, are pronounced for
geries-gotten up and published by the enemy,
in 1777, and re-published in 1916, to serve par
ty purpose. We had not room for the article in
the lntelligencer, but were forced to made brief
abstract ofits material facts. In doing this, we
began as follows
"Some days ago the Richmond Republican published
a letter from Gen. Washington. alleged To have been
found among the papers of the late Hon. Hugh Nelson
OF Albemare. and which, it further alleged had
never before been given to the world"
The Republican thinks we have dealt with il
rather ''recklessy," and says:
awe presume that there are some of the readers of
the Nlrginan who infer from its language not only that
the letter of Gen. Washington known by those con-
cerned IN its publication not To be genuine, but that
had never been found among the papers of the late Hugh
Nelson at all and that the younger Mr. Nelson and our
So'N'S Woio posi'S upon tue Pnoc, as We'll In regard
to the place where The letter found as to the genu
neness of the letter itself"
Our attention having been thus called TO our
remarks, we are free to confess that they are sus-
cephble OF construction most foreign from our
meaning. We had not the remoest idea of oues-
tioning the fact that the letter had been found
among the papers of the late Hon. Hugh Nelson;
or that his son and The Editor of the Republican
believed it had never been published; or that
they, for moment questioned its genuneness.
We still less meant TO imply that Mr. Nelson, who
furnished the letter, or the Editor who inserted
1t in his columns, was, in the slightest degree OBJ
noxlous to censure From our knowledge of both
gentlemen, we are sure they would be the last to
do any thing to plant nettle" upon the grave
of Washington.
This explanation we hope will be deemed sat-
isfactory to our friend of the Republican.
