Helen Dresser, Agaia.-A few days ago,
we copied paragraph from the Columbus
(Ga.) Sun, giving the substance OF letter
from "A Southern Lady" to that paper
charging that S. NJ. Hewlett, whn' lie lectur
ing on temperance in tine South, has been
making anti-slavery speeches in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Hewlett publishes an explanation in be
same paper, which gives somewhat differ
ent coloring to the matter. The following
an extract:
Now, sirs, fully ahd substantially deny
the charge, and since you have told me the
name of the author-a Miss Dresser,a female
lecturer on Mormonism--l can very readily
explain her motives for making the state
ment. She was instigated solely by the man
who accompanies her, in retaliation tor my
having exposed his trae character to the cit
liens OF Shelbyyille, Tenn. Knowing that
| Intended to visit your city, they took the
opportunity to revenge themselves upon me
in this manner.

Tie Vicksburg Bwder.-Sheppard who
killed Col. VIM. D. Roy, editor of the Vicks-
burg sur, is the same person who was ar
rested while on a bridal tour in New Orleans
a few weeks previous, at the instance OF Col.
Roy, as fugitive from justice in Mississippi.
Mr.. Sheppard returned to Vicksburg, de-
handed an investigation, and after enquiry,
extending through several days, was acquit-
ted. Since that time the Sun has referred to
MIR. Sheppard Extensively, which probably
was the cause of the unfortunate act which
resulted in the death OF MIR. Roy. The latter
was crossing the street, when MIR. Sheppard
stepped up and deliberately shot him, the
ball lodging in the left breast, just above the
heart. ColoAel Roy drew his pistol, but was
unable to use it; before he could cock it he
Tell and Immediately expired. The pistol was
found by his side, without a cap being SCARED
or barrel discharged. Mr. sheppard then
Immediately gave himself up,and was lodged
in Jail.

that question, as witness the vote Of the Coun.

PUBLIC MEETING IN oLYsrplA.


OL'AVAAb Oan' olst, loOU.
Over one hundred citizens, residents Of Olym.
pia and other portions Of our Territory, Assem-.
bled in the Hall Of the House Of Representatives
on last evening, for the purpose Of hearing the
distinguished orator, Hon. S. Garfielde, deliver
an address upon the issues that have caused q
breach in the ranks Of the Democratic party Of the
national cOniedeFacy. The Democratic members
Of the Legislative Assembly, or large majority
Of them, besides many others, citizens Of this
place, signed written request inviting Mr.. Gar.
tielde to deliver speech upon the above named
subject
The meeting organized at u o'clock, P. NJ, by
appointing Hon. Henry L. Caples chairman,
and J. I. Turner secretary. Mr.. Garfielde, upon
being introduced to the audience by the Chair
man, proceeded to deliver an address, which oc.
cuPied nearly three hours in its delivery. The
speaker received the most marked attention
throughout his entire speech; every one seemed
to be unusually well pleased with his remarks,
and, with but very few exceptions, Il was admitted
that the address was the most eloquent ever de-
livered BY Mr.. q. since he came to the Territory.
The gifted orator and Democratic Statesman oc.
cuPied the same grounds upon the slavery ques.
ton that are assumed by James L. Orr, Howell
Cobb, John G. Brcckinridge, and a host Of other
truly eminent statesmen Of the present day,
whose speeches are now the property Of the
American people, and familiar to every man that
has interested himself in the Democratic politics
Of his country.

As showing the feeling and position Of parties
at present in Washington, we copy the following
hOmla late letter in q Cincinnati paper:
The temper Of the House to-day was better than
on yesterday The freeaters were somewhat
ashamed, think, Of the absurd rush upon Thad-
deus Stevens, who was not saying anything untrue
or unparliamentary. Mr. Crawford has freely stated
that be did not understand Mr.. Stevens He
thought Stevens was speaking Of the timorousness
Of the people Of the South, when the remarks Of
Stevens really applied to the Northern mem
berS But such misunderstandings are dan
gorous. They may, and in this case did nearly,
result in scene Of bloodshed and Of national dis
grace. II should be made point Of honor 70
enter the hall Of q deliberative body unarmed.
But 4 haze no doubt that too hundred Of tks

There b il the House . Surprising want Of
decorum. The members rush in groups about
