to be noticed in our last edition. d. very
correctly says that either our correspondent
is wrong or he u.s. '.And so the citizens Of

you Judge rightly, and it is by your own
standard that we are compelled to Judge yon.
We know very well that there is pleasure
mot to be compared with any otherJ de-
rived from fighting through a newspaper, at
an unknown antagonist, incog. 1t is very
much like going into battle "locked up in
steell,' and with closed eyes, brandisbing the
cimeter hig in air, and crying lay on! My
voice is still for war. But D. you must not
forget that in case of this sort, the poor
miserable unofending newspaper man
stands Just between you and your unknown
and is very apt to receive on his
own innocent head all the blows aimed at
the enemy.
If "Plank Roads, communication was
personal, yours is more personal, and we
know that you areboih the best of fIiendsind
we would not be The innocent cause OF your
cnmity, and if we let You battle at one
other in this manner, that we shall receive
your unqualified hatred after it. For this
reason, we must decIne your last commu-
nication. We should have hesitated in the
first instance to publish your communca-
ton, recommending Railroad to Clinton,
instead Of the projected Plank Road.

We doubt very much, whether You will
get half dozen men in the State, TO agree
with you, when you say, that the project
of making Railroad to New Orleans on
the banks of the Mississippi river is vision

charges, that it would be superfluous to have
a Railroad
II does not little surprise US to hear you
talk thus. You certainly forget the work

sipp from New Orleans to Nashville, when
the trip could be made through the country
in forty-eight hours.

that the Wings got AZ majority in "Jefusa-
