Correspondence Of tile Milford Beacon
Letter From Charlie.

MEssRs EDITORS AS we have a
few leasure moments this evening we
will send you a few thoughts for your
valuable paper, and though have scare
ly had time to write a line 10
''The gill | left behind me-"
or, TO the one that's "iar away" since |
left "Cherry Grove" yet will try to
compose my thoughts and speak as brief
ly as possible.
do not know what name to give my
new home, | wish that some OF the la
dies would suggest one. Bat for the pre-
sent | shall have TO content myself like
another one of your correspondents, ~
with CAT the house of the Subscriber" f"
Query. Wonder if all of the said cor
respondents letters are "headed" thus !
As am lover OF innocent amuse-
ment, especially of this character felt
a strong inclination to critcise and car
ricature the letter which appeared in the
Beacon, OF the oath of March, with the
above heading. His grammatical blum
ders were palpabe TO scholar often
summers. And his open and shameless
avowal of a faLsetood relative TO the say
ings and doings of Temperance men, in
this state, brand him as an evil designer,
and gross misre1resetor, or being sadly
deficient in practical intelligence
Here are the very words, gentlemen,
read them ..'The temperance party say
il is right for rich man to use alcohol,
but wrong for a poor man 10 use it,
do not know which quality is predomi-
nant in this, the malign or the asinne.
At any rate the length Of The ears may
be seen throughout the whole letter.
Wonder if he is not the gentleman TO
whom "Philomolh," referred, in his first
letter, and 10 whom he administered
public chastsement If he is he serced
him right, and ought TO give him another
ofthe same sort. And if had it 10 do,
would not give him any blank cartria-
ges, but would take raking position
and give him plenty of "grape" and
"canister."
But its all Stuf-away With it And
fit TO be classed, with the above cited let
ter, is Sam. Townsend's circular No 2.
Have you seen and heard lti If you
have, suppose that you can Judge what
kind of head and heart this famous
Rum champion has. Isuppose that these
gentlemen are aware that public letters are
public property, and that any one is privil-
eyed DREAD, form an opinion, and pub
licly express it. Well here is mine =
Neither of them can write English; and
if their knowledge in, other matters, is as
circumscribed as their writings prove them
to be in this, | do not wonder that they
are found advocating such principles, and
upho lding such measures as they do.
We understand that the steamboat Lib
erty, recently chartered for the purpose of
making trial trip in thenavigation jones'
Greek on the 9th inst, steamed her way
up to Florence on the 28th, but with what
success have not learned. Isuppose her
failure on the 9th was owing to the ex-
treme low tide.
There is nothing new or interesting, of
which have heard, in these parts. The
weather of late has been so unfavourable
that farmers have been forced to suspend
and postpone business operations for the
present. We had considerable snow on
the 3Oth inst. but as March has closed we
hope for something better in the coming
month.
No more at present. Yours, &c.
March 31st, 1854. CHARLIE.
