CORRESPONDENCE.

MEssRs. TKIPP & MoCoY.--As there are some
f,lse charges in ereulstisn, ia lowh and county,
against myself and family as Superintendent Of the
Carroll county lnfmary, ask tie privilege,
through theeolupnsof yOuT paper, . correct them.
Some of Che cbarges made against US are: fIst,
we DO no, give The inmates sufficient quantity to
eat, and secondly what we do give them is not
more than half cooked! Third that we permit the
youngsters of the neighbotng families, to plague,
interrupt and make sport Of the inmates. These
are some Of the leading charges made against us
and 10 order TO ascertain the truth Of these charges
two OF the Directors of the Iufmsry, (yiz Mess's.
Long and Reehm, have visited the Inirmary, of
which fact they hereafter certify. They called up
on all the sensible and truthful portion Of the ln.
mates aud heard their statements as to the truth
of these charges, and every one stated that they
were false and untrue They stated that they get
and have got sufficient to eat, and that it was
cooked and prepared for them IN good order
Many other charges are made which are equal
ly false aud untrue l hope that the examna
ton will be sufficient to satisfy the mipds of all
sensible and reasonable persons There is, how
ever, a certain class to be found in almost any
community, aud there appears to be some in this,
who make it their business to medde with, and
interfere with everybody's business but their own,
by hunting up, Matching and circulating stories of
every grade: to satisfy the minds Of those bipeds
l do not undertake to satisfy at present. I could
give the names Of few persons who have been
busiIy engaged in circulating such false charges and
Others Of like nature, but for the present shall
not, l here simply advise without charge, those
persons that some of their charges not here men
toned, might require proof. or if in case Of fail
ure, its consequences might not be 50 agreeable to
their polluted tastes as scanlalizing their neigh
boB. EN0S HOOPS,
We the undersigned Directors, met at the In
frmary, and found that the false and criminal
charges against the superintendent are not true
but entirely false, with perhaps the single practice
Of certain young persons visiting the Infrmary,
and ransacking the house. up stairs and dorm
without permission of the Superintendent Aud,
also, at the same time teasing and provoking the
inmates. We as Directors, protest against any
person or persons going through the Infrmary
without permission from the Superintendent or

really sorry to say, that our lorebodDgs Of the re-
suit in the county Nominations has at least partial

ing the fact that portion Of those who were can

Of the convention. That they reflect much upon

COMMUNICATION.

MEssRs EDToRs
With your permission, through the columns Of
your paper desire to say a few words in reference
to the result of the Republican nominating con.
vehtiOn held ia Carroton, on Saturday, the 9th,
inst. discover, that in the camp Of the enemy,
(Imean the pro Slavery Democratic party,) there
appears to be almost an iuexplessbe dissatisfaction,
and regret that certain other men in the Republi-
can party were lot nominated instead of those who
did receive the nomination. Now ii would not
seem SO strange, (under the circumstances above
referred to- if it was not universal thing for the
enemy to fiud fault with our ticket, and to express
muck sympathy for all the defeated candidates,
aud to find fault with the nominees, on account of
their location, or business capacities. We have al.
ways understood this course in our opponents, and
| presume, Go yet. What do they care for us as
party? or what is their feeling as party for the
success of the very best Republican in the State?
10 political point of view, they care just nothing
at all; butrejoice in their souls to see any ticket
defeated. Though the very men for whom they
now seem 10 be 50 much concerned were on the
ticket, the very same anxiety for their defeat would
have a place in the bosom of every one of them.
We understand them and that is sufficient, they
can do us no harm. They say that some of the
delegates to the Republican convention, betrayed
the trust that was repoS2d in them by their con.
stituents; they say that certain deegaiss in that
convention voted for men for some Offices who
lived in opposite parts of the county, and which
persons did not receive solitary votein the Town.
ship from which these delegates hailed. (I was
not at the convention personally, my best feelings
were with them, however, in eonveption.) this
course was pursued by delegates, il they refused
to vote in convention for good mon, who received
large and respectable vote in their township, and
probably by the same men, too, who made them
delegates, then, and under such circumstances,
would beconstrained to.say with our Democratic
enemies, that that was by DO means an act of mag.
nanimity or greatness; however there is nothing
in sllthis Of sufficient magnitude to warrant, or
even induce Republican, a trps one, to, bolt
nomination, particularly when IL consists of good
men. though there were other men whose claims
may have been considered greater.

AUGUSTA, AUG. IS, 1857.
MEssRs. TRIP & MCCoY:--A report has been
circulated through the county, since the nomna
ZION Of Mr.. Roach for Representative, that he has
been a member of the Loeofoco party until with.
in the present year. The object of this report is,
as matter Of course, to injure MIR, Roach's pros.
Iects for election; and 10 satisfy those who have
not the means Of knowing the falsehood of the
foregoing report, we, the undersigned, take this
method of correcting this impression. 4 ..
Mr.. Roach Las been a citizen of Augusta for
the last nine years, aud during that time we have
known his political views and we assert of our
own knowledge that Mr., Roach has not supported,
either by word or vote, the Democratic ticket, and
that especially since the first formation of the Re-
publican party, he has been an active and uncom.
promising enemy of the present pro. slavery loco.
foco party. ..- 49,.
We do not wish to be here understood that
if Mr.. Roach had once supported the Demo.
cratic party this would have been iustifable OBJ
lection to supporting him in our party: as it is
well known that very many of the active mem.
bes of our party have formerly voted with the
opposite party. Our only motive in this commu-
nlcaLon IS to place Mr.. Roach's true antecedents
before the people.
