tta," for no other purpose than to save
postage. We would have done as much
for Judge P. had he applied to US. We
regretted that the difficulty had been
brought before the public, for we believed
that il would result in injury to Judge
Miller; and we believe now that his ma
jority in this county would have been
much larger, but for this unfortunate af-
fair. We never saw Dr.. Ellis. as we
know, till Saturday the l3th ult., when
he applied to US 10 get his first card prin-
ted. lie wished it done as soon as pos
sible, nnd directed that the first we print
ed should be sent to him at Ripley, the
nc xt distributed in this place, and the rest
sent of to such names as he directed.
We told him we sho1ld do our best TO
print some in time to reach him the fol.
lowing Thursday. In consequences,
however, of great quantity of job work,
we did not print any ill Friday evening,
and go he received none till Saturday
morning. We only had time, then, to
have about 20 struck, because our paper
had to 20 to press. Ofthat number, 27
were sent to DR.. Ellis, and one kept by
young man in our Office. No more
were printed till Monday, because the
newspaper form was on the press all day
on Saturday. Not one, that we know OF,
was sent from this place, except the 81
above mentioned, which were sent to the
ttry home Of Judge Price, till Monday, the
day they were published here. He star
ted for Holly Springs, however. the same
morning on which they reached Ripley,
and perhaps before they got there; hence
he did not ace them In circulation in Ripley,
before he came here, for they did not ar.
rive there on Thursday, as he in ntimates
Judge P. was here on Saturday evening. and
enjoyed himself at the Ladies Musical Soiree. lie
did not apply for copy Of DR.. Ellis card
till nert day, Sunday, aboutl2 or l o'clock.
At ,ha, tins the foreman Of the Jacksonian Office
came to US for copy, stating that Judge P. wish.
1t, SO as to write areply. We told him the facts
above given as to the number that had been print
ed, &c, and added, that we would gladly furnish
Judge Price copy, II we had one, and also told
him, (,he foreman), that he could probably get
one from the young man above mentioned. He
replied that he had seen him, and that his copy
had been lost. We then told him that there were
none printed, and that we would neither print
one ourself, nor cause any Of our workmen to do
! 4. -, .cv~dnp hnt that if ha chose 10 do that
much for Judge r.. the form was np, and h. ..;s..
go and strike of one. He got the assistance
Of our foreman, and thus Judge p. was furnished
with copy DR.. Ellis first card before more
than 80 had been printed, AND IN ADVANCE OF ITS
PUBLICATION ANY WHERE EXCEPT At RIPLEY.--
On Tuesday following, 23d ult. Judge Prices re-
ply appeared, and what will the community think
