You say that it done at the instance Of true

whole responsibility Of the act etc. Naerson doubt

had he made his objections me- instead 81 to you trust
would very easily have convinced him Of his by
simply laying before him my communication and copy of
the letter addressed to the Mayor Neither do agree with
you in believing it the correct vie when he says that
recapituatng the purport of my Brothers tter to the
Mayor gives circulation to the thing which should be
kept the of distant pares etc On the contrary
is evident that the gentleman speaks without having duly
considered either the letter itself the recaptuation Of it
given by me- Had he read them he would have perceived
at once that there is nothing in them to be hid from the
eyes the public Had H. c. Thibodauxs detractors pub
shed this assumed to be very improper letter. should

extinct. There was no difficulty in arriving

OppoRruNE.-Ar. V. Richard requests us t.
acknowledge the receipt of seven or eight cord'
Of wood from Col. P. B. Key, intended for gra
tuitous distribution among the needy. Tht
gift was very acceptable, and was divided among
those who were most in want. While on this
subject we will state that it is not only the poor
who find it impossible to procure the common
necessaries of life.s Such articles as wood, corn
butter, chickens and eggs, would be bought
with avidity if offered; but the supply Of these
articles, usually brought to market by ths
negroes from neighboring plantations, has beer
entirely stopped. Thus, those who have means
to buy are worse off than such as receive thu
bounties of the charitable. We hope our neigh
bors indhe country will bear this in mind, ant
allow their servants to bring their products K

New Light Houses.

MOSES HAWKS, Esq, was in town last week.
He came for the purpose Of selecting the site
for new lighthouse at the mouth Of the riv-
er. The point selected is farther back from the
water than that occupied by the present struc-
lures and on more elevated ground. The tow.
err and dwelling will be connected, as is the case
at Muskegon. We did not learn from Mr.
HAWKS when the work would be commenced
but we have understood that this would soon
be done, land that the materials composing the old
tower and dwelling would be used in construct
ing the new. The whole thing should be CON-
pleted before the next season of navigation
opens, as it is quite probable that the founda-
ton of the old works will, before that timc be
entirely swept away.
At Point Betsie, about one hundred and
twenty-five miles norlhward, n new lighthouse
is also TO be built. Mr.. HAWKS left us on Fri
day for that place.
