marked that he found no fault with me-
that every one must stand on his own
convictions, and that "every dog has his
day."
Taking leave of him, went to Kings
ton, where stayed all night with Whit
Moody. Whilst there, Messr*. Broaddus
and Newland came in TO see me, when l
expressed the same views. sent for q.
W Maupiu, an old hunting companion, to

l told him that he was one of reVolu-
tionarv committee; that ! should not in
terfcre with their action, if they confined
themselves to the expulsion of the ''radi-
calls" but that if the Committee attacked
us, the Republicans, on account of our
principles, that we would defend ourselves
to the last; and that in such defense, we'd
shoot him; Reuben Munday, Tcrrill, or
any other one of the Committee who aided
and abctted any assassination of one of
my party; that l was for peace; that had
told our IrleuuS at DSECu, lIluI NuOVNCl

at his own risk, and we would not stand by
him: but that if they cleared themselves of
Hanson, and were attacked in their own
right, that we would make n common
cause-we would take to the woods, and
defend ourselves to the death.
This, men of Madison, is my whole con-
nection with the Radicals of Berca. All
the time against their doctrine-all the
time for the peace and safety of the COM
munity.
On Monday night staid with my sister
Smith; on Tuesday, hearing that the eX-
citement was mostly against me, and that
was thought to have dictated the letter
of Hanson to Judge Field with a view to
bring on the war, made my remarks at
the court house to clear the popular mind
of all apprehensions. The falsehood of
the whole allegation is apparent, when
you will see by the letter to Judge Field
that it is dated on the 18th instant, two
weeks ago, when | had neither seen nor
known Hanson, nor been ut BcreH since
NV Northern tour, and therefore could
not possibly have had any intercourse with
him.
Now it turns out just as had expected,
from what was said by Mr.. Newton in
Richmond on Wednesday morning last, in
the presence of G. w. Mnupin and others
that the Republicans had nothing to do
with Hanson; were for peace, and fought
in their own defense.

faCts-but not all of the facts-the Ian
guage to the daughter of West was too
gross for the public eye; and therefore
suppress it, Nor were these the only out
RACES. A similar offence to the children

millions of Americans The battle of the
26th day of March will never be forgotten

drive these men into the mountains you
may burn their houses; you may hunt them
down like wild beasts, till the last one falls
by superior force; but their cause is the
cause of American liberty, and the holiest
instinct of human nature. Their martyr

which will pervadc the Union, and be cx-

THRILLING INo1DENT.-Ina a lecture de-
livered by Grace Greenwood at Boston,
on tHeroism,' she referred to an incident
that took place at the burning Of a steamer
on one of the Western Lakes!
tAmong the few passengers whose cour-
age and presence of mind rose superior to
the perils and horrors of the night, was .
mother who succeeded in saving her two
children by means of floating settee.-
While they were in the water the mother
saw man swimming toward the settee, and,
as he was about to grasp it, she cried -
Don't take it away from my poor little chill
dren!' The man made no answer, yet the
appeal struck home; for by the light Of
the flaming vessel, she could see that his
face was convulsed by the struggle between
the mighty primal instinct Of nature, and
something better and holier. 1t was but
fora moment. He threw up his hands
with groan of remuneration, flung himself
over backward, and went down.

Poor Star sat uneasily, wondering why
the people who had eaten their breakfast,
did not leave the table. She was in such
ia futter. that she did not nearly satisfy the
demands Of appetite. Theglittering silver
ware, the, brilliant dresses, gaudy servants
and more than all, the impertinent atten

honored her vastly by his simpering gIances
