A CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 was very much mortified 10 o.
serve in your last Ssue card over the signature o
NJ. w. GARY, wherein he saw fit 10 revive Ger.
tain sad "reminiscences of the past that grated harsh
ly-yea sorely-on my feelings. the necessity oi
which cannot perceive And, in vindicaticn Of the
character Of one who was near and dear 10 me-a
beloved brother, who for many years was my only
guardian and proiector,-I now respectfully claim a
short space in your columns.
l Go not now, and never did blame Mr. GARY, for
de ending his client, but do think that he might
have defended his equally as we'll without revi.
wing the character of my brother in the manner he
has. Mr.. GARY appears d=sirous to convey the i'm.
preston that the "uhfortunate deceased occupied
the low position in lie Of a Card.case keeper for
Faro Bank" But many Of The people Of Edgefeld
District know that this 10 not corset, His many
friends am proud to heievS, always recognized h m
as gentleman. Though poor man, and one who
had to struggle hard 10 maintain lis family, yet de.
fly any man, to say that he ever departed from the
stric,eBt honesty and integrity. And even, il, on that
unfortunate occason in The kindness of his heart, he
did keep the card case" it at the solicitation
of those present, who he thought were his friends
Like, poor fallen man, lie too had his fans-one Of
them was, that he occasionally visited the card table
(And it may be that the critical Mr.. GARY does like
wise-more 30 perhaps than ever did the deceased)
But do 10. think That it WINS right in Mr.. GARY to
revive tho faults of the silent sleeper, and forget his
other qualities Of the head and heart This Mr. GARY
has done and done injuriouSly But leave the mat.
,er-it is 10 me on unpleasant subject. The public,
trust, will do the memory OF my brother justice, and
not lei this stain which Mr. GARY has published
against his memory, rest heavily over his unhappy
famiIy and relatives.
In lhis connection, desire 10 say That Mr. GARY
id rot give through your paper the version of his
speech as understood it. ] think his Language was
10 this purpose:
"That monuments were not intended T n mechanics
and humble citizens, hut that they were intended fer
hree distinct classes, viz: Statesmen, Chisfans aud
Patriots"
Monuments, the gentleman we'll knows, have been
erected time and again to the memory Of mechanics.

HIS ARTICLE.

Peruse the production Of IL upon another column.
It contains good sentiments. But We think "ll' is
unnecessarily uaruled about Southern Nationalism
When the doctrine Of States Rights was confined to
the few, thore was indeed cause Of apprehension
But now that it has become the living faith Of the
oatire South and is ruling tie country through the
Democratic pnrty it does seem to US that such fore
bodings, as IL" INDUCES in, are etpTcerea midi
As to our view of the remarks Of Gov. ADAMS,
prhaps We did not it exactly wc ought to have
done. But believing that to "purchase" slaves in
Africa necessarily involves "plunlcr and robbery
wa could not perceive any justice in contrasting those
engaged in that business with our traders who Ope.
rate in civilized country and under civilized re-
strictions.

TIE SHOOTING OF YOUNG LADY At PITTS
BURG.-Miss f. Henry, the young lady who was
shot at Pittsburg, last Saturday, by Thomas
Smithson, jr., was still alive OH Sunday night,
but with little hope Of surviving. The True
Press says:
Smithson, who is about nineteen years Of age,
had been acquainted with Miss Henry from
childhood, she being about two years younger
than himself They had always been upon
speaking terms, and Of late young Smithsen be.
came passionately attached to her. being ready
to accompany her at all times, and willing to
make any sacrifice to win her affections. As his
character was not such rs to secure him the es-
TEEN of the virtuous and respectable, his alton
tions were not recognized by Miss Henry, and his
advances were annoying to her. He was only
tolerated on account Of their familiarity through
childhood, and he had been treated with that
careless disregard which would have driven off
any young man possessed Of ordinary sensibili
ty and independence Of mind. But lie acted
like a honomaniac towards her, accosting her
upon the streets, soliciting walks. requesting ill.,
terviews etc. On Saturday last, he walked into
the dwelling of Mrs. Henry, and on Miss Henry
telling him she was too busy 10 talk with him,
he drew q pistol and shot her, the ball entering
her body below the left shoulder blade, shatter.
ing one of the ribs, passing through the lung,
and escaping below the left breast Smtnson
Immediately made his escape, but was subse.
quently arrested, and came near being lynched
by the excited populace.

Corrosive clip the following cxtrac

CorroN-We clip the following extract from
the Courier and Enquirer, a paper as well pos
ted in statistics as any in this country:
"One of the gratifying features of the com
mercial world is the renewed and steady demand
for cotton--a demand that increases in q mucl
greater ratio than the increase of population
The European demand and prices are such a
to furnish an ample guarantee of remuneration
to our Southern planters for few years to come
With all the available sources of supply fron
Egypt, Asia, Australia, and South America, the
cotton of the United States is not enough t.
meet the growing demand in Europe"

NERVOUS HEADAcH.-A correspondent of tht
Constitutionaltst furnishes the following remedy
as specific for the relief of the Nervous headache
Mr.. Editor: have been sufferer with the
headache for more than thirty years; sought d
cure in many Of the "cerain cures" and found
none; and finding relief in dose Of morphine
ten years ago, and being afraid of an injurious
effect upon the stomach that a continued taking
of opium in any form would produce, l conclu.
ded to try snvfiihg morphine, and always finding
relief in o few minutes after suutting a small
portion Of morphine, about as large as grain
of wheat; and having known it tried by others.
and never without speedy relief unless the head
was SO stopped up that the morphine could not
be drawn up, have concluded that tine discove.
ry is worth giving to the public, and for that
purpose offer it to your valuable paper.

EXPLANATORY.

Iu publishing the card of Mr.. DAVID CHRISTIAN,
we must express our dissent from his construction o
Mr.. GARYs language. 1t seems to US clear enough
that Mr.. q. made such general charge as that
HRSRY Cnnl.rIAN, deceased, was card-casc keeper
Of Faro Bank. Tis words are, that the deceased
was "at that time the eard-case keeper Of that Euro
Bank" No comment is needed
We also think that Mr.. GARY's statement Of what
he said in Court should DO fully accepted by all who
may have taken offence at what they conceived to be
the bearing Of his remarks. Nut to accept it, evinccs
spirit of opposition which would seem to have its
source outside Of the issue in hand
