Mr. EDIroR-We noticed sin the Lansasfsf
Ledger Of the 18th ult. an article headed g Tnsnd
Out of Hanging Rock Division Sous Of Pempsf.sa
ance." 1t stated that an advertisement had ap; +
peared sometime agointhat paper, saying ahatf}
Hanging Rock Division would turn out in
regalia on the 18th, atgMount Bethel Church
friends ofthe Order liz neghboring Divisions were
invited to attend" Soon after this notices
editor ofthat paper published throughthe caIumnss
OF the Ledger, that there would be a. Pic Vic o1 g
that occasion. We gave him no authority to say 4
so-nor can he certify that he had knowledge off,
the matter from any responsible source. Hisifer-
tile imas sination must have invented it, or some
of his associates may have thought SO in dream
and he considered it reality. AT any rate, hes
spread abroad through the Ledger that there
would be Pic Mic at Bethel Church on4hat day.
and his mind must have been much eiated when%
he thought of the " fat turkes, hams mutton, cat.
fish soup&cu which he presumed would he served
on the occasion. n x y il
We are grieved to find that he deceived others
in common with himself as he informs us that
several gentlemen left Lancaster that morning be-
fore breakfast, to have their appettes sharpened,
so that they might enjoy the rich provision which
the Ledger informed them should be: made fOE<s
them. We doubt however, whether gentlemen
left to ride eighteen mlss without first
1t might so happen where no foodscould be pro-
cured, hut We are pleased to know that famine
does not rage in Lancaster, neither did the citisg
zens of that town eat voracionsly when they
were invited to the several carriages Whichare
always bountifully supplied With provisions on
such occasions. s.5,:s. - ~ *
The editor informs us that he arrived on the:
ground atll o'clock in company with his friend
the Doctor, and meeting his brother B. of LancasfeE
wearing rueful eountenance, he barely ealuteds
us-(we presume he did not uncover his head -;
he indignantly informed US that there was no Pic
Mic, and also that there were no speakers for the
occasion. Brother B" must have been the Ledgs
er''s authority Gf he had any) for saying4hsfe
would be Pic Me, and fearing detection, d.
sumed the s'rueful countenaice" above spoken ofsS
The Ledger next represented US as being in al
strait for speakers which was not so,f for many
would have volunteered ifnecessity had required
t,) and he loaned us has man, DR. Gallach We
always thought Dr. 6. was his own man, and
did not belong to the Ledger. However, We weree
much pleased with his address. ~ Ass 3;
The Ledger next states thatbe .addressed an;
audience of empty stomachs," but this cannot be-.
so, as we believe no one leit.home without break
fast, except the villagers, aud we can assure the
Ledger and his friends that if Mr.John q. Ingrepss
who he says invited him to partake of his @coldss (
collation." had known that they had no breakfast
he would have invited them from his peach or
chard2 to his house, and conducted them to his
table, whichis is a'ways bountiuly. supplied. with
warm provisions for the entertainment of hungry
strangers. Is. -. ssssss
The Ledger concludes by remarking that the
Turn Out took place in Kershaw District, notSihd
Lancaster, and that he intended nothing disre-
spectiul to his Hongiag Rock brethren. To whom,
then does he desire to impute incivllity Our
Kershaw friends kindly loaned us their, Church.
and politely treated US with attention and respeck
and we are indebted to them for the marked:
friendship and regard which they manifested to-s
wards Us OH that occasion, and if the Ledfer en-
tertans unfriendly feelings towards them, he
ought to speak plainly, and not use insnuations,s
which are always calculated to wound feelings. q,
