For the Hillsborough Recorder.

TO THE PEopLE OF ORANGE,

TO THE PEOPLE OF ORANGE,
Several malicious SANDERS have been so
extensively circulated against me in this
county, that ieel it my duty thus publicly
to defend myself. 1t has been reported that
! have even bought under execution the COW
Of one Willie Gates, volunteer. for tribe.
and drove il home from his wife and chill
dren. This is a base falsehood, as | have
never. that can recollect, either had judg.
ment against him. or bought anything from
him or belonging to him.
Ii is farther reported that / have oppress-
ed poor widow and taken her property al
almost nothing. So far from this being true,
| have only ventured to secure an amount
due me BY widow lady. because / knew the
property to be exposed for O;her liabilities;
but in exercising this caution | was gener.
Gus and tender; lett every article for her TO
use freely, and in sincere friendship have in
dulged her with the long opportunity Of pay
ing without the sacrifice Of single particle
Of her property.
Again, il is basely spread abroad that
have taken the wheat belonging TO volunteers
who we're nv tenants and would not allow
their families any. SO far from this being
true. 4 can solemnly say thar have had the
wheat referred to, harvested and garnered,
as there was no one else To attend to il; and
have been. and am yet. sincerely carrying
out the agreement between me and the said
volunteers.
shall expect all respectable persons who
have given currency to these false charges.
to be prepared TO give the evidence on which
they have spnken so unkindly. On SO deli
cate a matter my character shall be yindi-
Gated. have never pressed volunteer or
his family. On the contrary. expect TO be
uniformly kind TO them. Il would astonish
any citizen Of Orange to know what an i'm.
mense amount | am losing and shall lose By
those who have volunteered; but have con.
sidered il a necessary evil Of these gloomy
days. and have resigned myself TO il. Thii
vast loss thus calmly borne, together with tn,
sacrifices | have long made and am maxim!
for the poor who are in different respect
and from different causes the objects Of ~,
sympathy aud indulgence. must with all rea
sonabIe and correct men be 81 more weigh
than the lurking falsehoods Of enemies.
In conclusion. invite from any and all a.
investigation pf any such slanherOus reports
! shall hUsstigdie them faithfully.

A BRILLIANT VICTORY.

We copy the following from the Charlotte Bulletin
Of Monday. We hope it may be true; but we think
the number Of killed and wounded must be considers
bly, exaggerated.
Richmond, September IA.
The Bulletin Board of the Examiner has
the following:
;" The Post Master at Lewisburg writes
the Post Master at Richmond as follows,
Gen. Floyd had another battle on the 10th
when he routed the Federals, killing COT
and wounding 1000, taking some prisoners.
" A few hours after the engagement Gen
Floyd heard that wing of the enemy had
crossed the River few miles above him in
order to surround him on this side Of the
River, when he fell back.
This report is reliable, as it is brought
By an officer engaged in the battle.
" The Confedera,es loss is one killed and
eight wound"

To THE People OF NORTHERN TExAs,-In
accordance with the wishes Of Adjutant GEN
rral Byrd, rs expressed In his address, l
viii hold myself in readiness TO receive and

wants Of our soldiers. Attention is called
to his address to the people, and especially
10 the fact therein set forth, that all clo-
thing thus supplied will be paid for in bonds
Of the Confederate States.
Contributions and supplies furnished un-
der this call, will be stored At Dallas until
their removal and destination be ordered by
the proper authorities; and it is requested
that all persons thus contributing will for
ward the articles to me ut Dallas, for which
the proper receipts will be given.
deem IL unnecessary to appeal to the
patriotism Of the people, when the whole
country is moved as one man, in The hallow-
ed cause of liberty and justice. The fact
that our soldiers need proper clothing is
only to be known, 10 obtain the sup
plies; and in view of this, / now call upon
the people of Northern Texas to come for
ward and contribute whatever lies in their
power. s. Is. PRYOR.

Clothing for the Soldiers.

We would direct the attention of every
CITIZEN of this county 10 the extracts in to-
days paper of letters from the camp of the
soldiers from this county, and would earnest
ly urge on the people the Importance of
prompt action in making up suitable cloth
ing for the brave spirits who have gone
from amongst us to fight the battles of our
country. We must not ask why does the
Government not furnish cloihes,-we know
they are needed, and let us promptly res
pond to the call made upon us. Attention
is also directed to two advertisements Mt
the head of this column signed by Geo. W..
Guess, ESQ.,, on the same subject. A few
patriotic gentlemen have contributed largely
of their means towards this noble object,
and the ladies have been busy in making
up the material into clothing. Let it not
be said that these few gentlemen shall bear
all the burden ; every person can furnish
something, and by general contri-
button the burden would be light on each.
MIR. Guess, designs leaving in short time
to accompany the contributions to the
soldiers in pcrson,-hc will take them to
the camp, wherever that may be,-and
what is to be done must be done quickly.

We witnessed, last week, an operation
for Cataract, performed by this distinguish

Lenticular Cataract, and Of long standing,
the subject an elderly lady who had not
been able to distinguish one object from an
other for many months. The operation
was performed on Friday, in the most ap-
proved and successful manner, the cataract
broken up effectually, and the patient left
in n dark room for two days. At the expi-
ration of that time light was partially ad-
mitted, and the lady had so far recovered
her vision as to see clearly her hand when
placed before her eyes. So far, it bids fair
to be one of the most complete and effectual
operations of the kind we have ever wit
