controversy with "A Hindman man and
am at loss to know why he pirates SO much
| about it in his very extraordinary reply to
Gar Creek. He evidently has higher
opinion of his importance in the communi
ty than any other person has of him, or he
would not SO pcrsstently seek to attract
the attehtcon of the public by reiterating
the smart things said by him in his reply to
"A Hindman man" Haversack says as
Col. II. does not publicly deny the charges
made against him, are shall take his silence
as assenting, and Withhold his support from
him Now don't do that Mr.. Haversack
for Col II. cannot possibly, survive your
opposition, for one great man (and Haver-
sack is evidently a great one) influences
many others. If you will only wait little
longer, Col. Hindman will assuredly do
anything that you may ask, rather than
lose your support and great influence.
Again, he says, the issue is between p.
Il B., on one part, and Col. ii, on the other
and that Gar Greek renders himself an often

l cannot see by what process of reasoning
ii. makes controversy between 7. & b.,
on one part, and Col Ii. on the other, as
the erudite Haversack in the preceding
lines declares. he has withdrawn has sup
port because Col. Ii. did not deny the
charge made against him by p. & b. Now
if they made charges, and he did not deny
them, l AIN unable to see how an issue was
formed. Will III. be so kind as to inform
me how Col. H. made an issue with L. 4. 3.

Haversack evidently thinks he puts a hard

lam much indebted to the kind consid-
Grafton of III. for the very flattering notice
he takes of me, by assuring the readers of
the Press that am " fay orable known and
that my views are highly regarded" If
III. is sincere in his compliments, he would
do well to remember some of the advice
given to him by Gar Creek, and as | have
no doubt, he is an honorable and high mind
to ascertain who Gar Greek is, l shall take
pleasure in exhibiting my card. and in re-
| turn receiving his. Thus l shall be enabled
to make the personal acquaintance of one,

prejudice would make respectable and
worthy oponent.

that am ignorant of the facts in contro-
versy, Will you be SO kind as to enlighten
me, as am anxious to gain information,
even if 1T is from one who has voluntarily
| placed himself in an attitude of opposition

AS a Hindman man burnt his finger by
provoking the ire of Haversack | now ad-
wise III. as l am good friend to him. to be
careful lest he should unfortunately get bur
ned up, and thereby cause the Press to lose
a valuable correspondent, the community
profound scholar, the family reliable
and devoted friend, and Gar Creek an
abundance of fun. - | remain. yours
