article Of mind his found its way into print, or
that my opinion has been asked with regard to
any editorial that has appeared in the Pioneer or
in any other newspaper.
reply, therefore, to the question propounded
in your note. by simple statement, that knew
not Of the existence Of the articles alluded to-,
until read them after they appeared in print,
nor had any agency whatever in their rroduc-
ton or publication. They do not cmbody my

Reeder can never be an acceptable man in
this Territory; his course has been TOO arbi-
trary; the people will never be satisfied with
him. We are surprised that he SO obstnately
hangs on, when the Squatter Sovereigns would
much rather see hemp hung around his neck.
And all this comes from doing his duty-for
manfully defending the ballot box, and pre-
serving the rights of the people. Such a man
will live long after the memories of his tradu-
GERS have passed into rottenness.

story without any preface from us:
St. P.CL. June q, 1855.
My DER SIR Some weeks since the Pioneer
newspaper, published in this city, contained two
editorial articles attacking my public ana private
character; which surprised tho public no less than
myself. Rumors from various sources have
reached my cars that these articles were publish
ed with your knowledge and appreciation, and
were intended to sever the tie of personal and po-
litical friendship understood to exist between u.s.
neither have heretofore, nor do now, attach
any dHgree of credit to such rumors: vet prop
er self-respect would seem to require that should
address you this note, asking for such a reply as
will place the matter in its true light before our
friends and the country.
Hoping to receive such an answer as will serve
to set this idle gossip at rest,
am, very kindly, your friend and o5d't serv't,

occurred at Little Greek, Hundred between

appears that Mr.. Slaughter's cattle lad been
in the habit of disturbing Mr.. Sharps crops,
and on the evening alluded to, finding them in
his fields, he procured double barreled gun
and shot one of tic COWS. Mr.. Slaughter
hearing the report, went lii that direction, and
on arriving at the place fastened TO drive lis
cattle out and put up the fence, and while do
ing SO, Sharp came up within twenty steps,
exclaiming, at is too late now, you d

either side of his eyes, one through the side of
his nose, and two on his left cheek. Slaughter
staggered and fell. Sharp approached within
few feet Of him, and as Mr.. Slaughter was
getting up fired second time, hut only three
of the shot took effect, penetrating deeply into
the right shoulder. Not satisfied with the in
jury he had done, the assailant then seized a
fence rail, and made at Slaughter, WHO ran at
the top Of his speed, and finally escaped, and it
is possible that he may recover from the inju-
ries lie received.
Nearly every exchange which comes 10 us
