GENTLEMEN I'm to your letter OF June 18th,
enclosing letter to your house from Mr.. NJ. D. Harden,
OF Abingdon, dated June 18th, would say that after
len your store called at the establishment OF Messrs
Fairbanks Grcenea about the 18th OF June, and
inquired Of them the lowest price they would sell me
-four ton Scale and mentioned at the time that
had been locking at the Howes Scales thought something
Of purchasing OF them. Mr.. Greeneaf then gave me
their prices and spoke of Howes Scales as being very
imperfect aud poor Scale and that there were many Ut
them that would not work, and mentioned to me that
Scale by where lived badly out OF order and
would work nj ALL This Scale he said at Abing
don, H. and had been bought by Mr. NJ. b. Harden, and
worth nothing for weighing and had been Abandoned
oil OF which tended 10 discourage me from purchasing the
Ifowes Scale and after mentioning this matter 10 your
Agent Mr. Hooker, and he denied the same and stated
to me that Mr.. Grccneaf not man OF veracy, as
he had detected him very recently in several fsehoods
began 10 doubt his vcracity Since have seen the let
ter from Mr. NJ b. Harden. Of Abingdon, dated June 18th
am inclined TO think il all said by Grecnleaf for the
purpose Of disceuragng me, and that was FALSE, ms
tho enclosed letter Of Harden is in contradiction to Green
leafs statement To me- and think this unfair course OF
competition ought TO be dscouptcnanced, as there Is
nothing like fair play and truth IN trade. Hoping this
explanation is satisfactory,
lam respectfully yours,

B9An effort is being made by Hon.
Jno. Law, TO secure for the use of our sick
soldiers, the Marine Hospital, below the
city. The Marine Hospital in Cincinnati
has been appropriated for the use of the
Ohio troops, and there is no reason why the
same rule should not be adopted here. A
large number of sick soldiers, belonging to
the 31st Indiana regiment are now on
O'RiIey's wharf boat, poorly provided for,
and subject to all manner of Inconvenience.
while within sight is large hospital stored
with comforts for the sick, with paid nurses
and physicians in the employ of the same
government, whose soldiers are suffering up
on public wharf boat. We hope that the
matter may receive the early attention of
Mr.. Chase.

g&g~ A correspondent of the Louisville
Journal, furnishes the following as the
programme Of the secessionists for the de-
struction of the locks on Green River, and
the occupation of the entire State, and the
closing of navigation on the Ohio river:
DR.. G. I. Noel, the man whom the gall
liant g. Fl. Yeaman of Daviess defeated for
the Legislature, recently left his home at
the head of one hundred cavalry for the
purpose of joining Buckner. This is
another link in the train of circumstances
showing the conspiracy and the plan that
was agreed upon which is made certain
by letter that was intercepted from a
rebel In the Southern army, to his father, in
Owensboro. Buckner was to occupy Lou
isville with large force, and Simultaneous
ly brigade was to go from Bowling Green
toward Rochester, where Hawkins was
encamped, thence to Hartford where Coils.
McHenry and Burbridge's regiment were
recruiting; break up these two camps, hang
McHenry; take all the arms from the Union
men in Butler, Muhlenburg, and Ohio coun-
ties, move on towards Greensboro, where
Noel with his cavalry, and George w.
Triplett, at the head of the 'iminute men,"
with Col. Boyd of the militia, together
with other distinguished traitors were to
subjugate the Union men of Daviess; de-
stroy Locks Nos. and 2; plant their can
non on the river at Greensboro, and check
the navigation of the Ohio. Clint Nc
CLARITY was to be provost marshal of the
town and secession to reign supreme
Gen. Buckner, foiled in this, marched along
Green river, and published his proeIaIna-
ton in every town crd county, thinking
his ''old friends" would rally to his stand
ard as did Napoleon on his return from Ell
ba, but alas how sadly was he disappoint-
ed. Not one solitary change was made in
bis favor; on the contrary hundreds of
Southern Rights men joined the Union
party, and enlisted as soldiers to repel him.
The object of his expedition fell dead fiat,
and the sold companions of his childhood"
as he touchingIy called them 10 his procla-
nation to the "Citizens of Muhlenburg,"
turned from him with scorn and contempt.
He has now returned to Bowling Green,
and there has been within the last few
days a withdrawal of troops Southwark
from Bowling Green and Russellville.

The Democratic Convention.

We are pleased to find such a paper az
the New Albany Ledger, for years the lead
ing democratic paper of Southern Indiana,
denouncing the democrats who are endeav-
orinr "to commit the democracy of Indiana
to policy in opposition to the war" The
Ledger says:
It is such influences as these, undoubte div
that nave secured the call for State con-
uention in January, through which. it is
hoped, resolutions in effect if not in words
can be passed encouraging the rebels to per-
severe in their unholy warfare against the
Union and the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
designed to embsrass the government in its
operations by enlargipg upon its objection
able acts.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT On the 6th of
January, twenty-five thousand patriotic
Democrats win be in the ranks of the ar
my, fighting for the Union and the Consti-
tuition. Let it be the duty of those who
remain at home to see that no convention
protesting to be Democratic, pass resolu-
tons stigmatizing their brethren in the
field with muskets on their shoulders and
knapsacks on their backs, undergoing the
hardships of a winter campaign, as "trai-
tors to the Democratic party" There is
no necessity for this Sth of January Con-
vention. The Democracy have not asked
il, and do not want it. The call for it
ought to be immediately withdrawn. But
if il is held, the seal of condemnation must
be put upon those who are endeayoring to
pervert it into Rebel-Sympathizing Soci-
ETY..

How q nTfchfgander and q south Car
Gilman fought Duel.
We find the following in the Washlngt

We find the following in the Washington
correspondence to the Detroit Tribune:
One of the Michiganders, being out on
advanced picket duty few days ago, came
in sight of a South Carolina rebel, also on
similar duty, when the following dialogue
and dssl took place;
MISUNDERSTANDING, South Carolina, how
are you today
SoUTH CARoLISA- 'Pretty well, thank
you how ara all the Yankees p
M-"So, so. What's the news over in
Dixie?"
S--t'Nothing in particular, only we have
got some rifles now that viii out shoot your

ers brag too much. Can't fool your pap on
that trigger
S-'Suppose, then, you and ! just take
few private passes at each other to settle
that little question. What say yon?'
M-"Agreed. Forty rods, and thzas
shots each"
The question then arose as to the prelim-
inaries, &C., there being no parties present
to act as seconds. These were, however,
soon settled by South Carolina, by gspin0
Michigaa a gold dollar foy. The first three
shotsi The parties then took their positions,
and South Carolina blazed away his three
shots at Michigan, who stood erect and
pointed out to South Carolina the direction
each of his shots had taken. Michigan es-
capped unhurt; and now came bis turn to fire.
South Carolina, to his credit be it said stood
erect and received Mchigan's first shot in
the thigh, which brought him down upon
the ground.
"Hellow, old fellow, none of that" said
Michigan, ''no lodging the question, stand
up like man will yon? You ove me tzUo
id good shots, and you must pay them,
mind that or no more Dragging about chip

But South Carolina, having one leg bro
ken already by shot from Michigan's I'M
erring Mimic musket, could not stand on
both pegs of his chivalry, and therefore
squdtted, and consequently cheated our hon.
est Michigander out of "tiOo id good
shots, " and thus ended this funny impromp-

DhAs1r-,,-e Some of our good Union
friends, in our sister ci.y f Henderson, are
in an agony of apprehension in conse-
quence Of rumor circulating there, that
drafting for the federal army will com
mence in that city in few weeks The
rumor, we presume, is without foundation.
The federal government viii not be COM
PEELED to draft nan in its defense 1t is
not quite so apparent, however, that Ken
lucky ought not to draft her citizens to de-
tend her soil, as many of them seem unwill-
ing 70 10 1t unless under compulsion. We
know that were Indiana invaded as is Ken
lucky, Gov. Morton would have every able
bodied man in the State between the ages
of Is and Ak in the field in less thar two
weeks. Even if it were Necessary to re-
sort to drafting, Kentuckians should be
compelled to defend Kentucky.

ANDY JOHNSON AND THR ARMED ExHEs
yRoM EAST TENXEssEE.-The Hon. Andrew
johnson, of Tennessee, said in his speech at
Columbus last week, referring to visit to
Camp Dick Robinson
The other day. when 1 stood in the pres
ence of two thousand Tennesseans, sxiled
Ike myself from their homes Of comfort and
the families of their love, found that my
manhood and sternness of mind were all
nothing, and that l was only child There
they were, my friends and fellow-citizens of
my beloved State, gathered upon the friend
ly soil of Kentucky, from the tender strip
ling of sixteen to the gray-haired fathers OF
sixty, all mourning the evil that has be-
fallen our land and our homes, but all seek
ing for arms wherewith to go back and
drive the invader from our fields and
hearthstones. 1 essayed to speak to them
words of counsel and encouragement but
speech was denied me. ! stood before them
as one who is dumb If it be true that out
of the fullness of. the heart the mouth
speaketh, it is also true that the heart may
be too full for the utterance of speech. And
such were ours-two thousand of Us exiled
Tennesseans, and all silent Silent as
city of the dead But there was no torpor
there There were the bounding heart and
throbbiug brain; there were the burning
cheek and the blazing eye, all more eloquent
than ever were the utterings of human
speech. Gz5
Each of that throng of exiles, who had
wandered among the mountains and hid IN
their caverns, who had slept in the forest
and squeezed themselves, one by one,
through the pickets of the invader, each
was now offering comfort and pledging
fidelity to the other. Youth and age were
banding together in a holy alliance that
will never yield till our couHtry and our
flag our Government and our institutions
are bathed in the sunlight Of peace, and
consecrated by the baptism OF patriotic
| blood. -yFr
There were their homes, and there too is

homeless, exiledl And why2 Was it for
| crime2 Had we violated any law2 Had
we offended the majesty Of our Govern
ment, or done wrong to any human be-
ing2 Nay, none of these. Our fault, and
our only fault was loving our country too
well to permit its betrayal. And for this
the remorseless agents OF that "sum of all
viIlainies," secession, drove US from our
| families aad firesides, and made Us exiles
and wanderers. But the time shall soon
come when we wanderers aOtH go bGckf-
Depend upon it, my friends, this monstrous
iniquity cannot long subsist. Some bolt of

uncommon wrath, will blast the traitors in
their high estate" But whatever they do
though they may TaVage our State aud

B5T It is matter of interest to the
friends OF volunteers to know what proof of
the death OF 8 soldier is requisite to enable
his heirs to procure his pay and the 500

nished by the company rolls, which are de-

An Important Mistake Corrected.
The Washington City Republican saws

Inc washington City republican says
ain this connection, we note that one par
ticular order upon General Fremont for
FIVE regiments to be sent here, which has
been complained OF, was not received at St.
Louis until the day after the surrender of
Col. Mulligan, and which event that order
of course did not tend to produce"
And the New York Times says g the .ad-
ministration had ordered six of Frs9nont's
regiments to Washington on Saturday,
which turned out to be the day after Col.
Mulligan had been obliged to surrender"
We were st st. Louis at the time We
read those dispatches the evening of Sat
urday, September l4th. Mulligan sur
rendered Friday, September Goth, six days
afterwards. It is extraordinary that a
paper At Washington City should make
such biunder as above on a point where
the question OF dates was of such vital i'm
portance. .ra-
Ready as we shall be, to critisise General
Fremont, if he proves himself in the field
not TO be the right man for the place, we
insist that when a. General goes forth to
battle, periling his life for the country, and
the cause he is serving, it should be enough
that be meets the enemy in front, without
being stabbed in the back at the same
time. - South Bend Register.
