CHARLES ROLAND.

There isa familiar passage in the good
book, which by an easy p,raphase, would
read thus. Some men are born fools,
some are made fools of by men, and some
make fools of themselves. This para
phrase was suggested by reading your
editorial in the Eagle of the 18th. where
in you attempt 10 do something in
manner SO silly aud weakly, as to excite
in me more pity for you, than anger at
you.~ But since you back down so hand
somely on youl charge about the Logan
extract, l suppose most moderate my
tone a little and instead of tie term liar

Why did't you pitch into me like the
devil and call me liar; and a great

pooned me severely, if you had been dis
posed. Why did you not do it? Icould
have furnished you with more truthful
points of assault than those you obtained
from Beatty and Shaw. Why did't you

sleep that my clothes We're nearly worn
out, and that had no money to by more?
That | kicked at my sow, and missing
her, awkardly barked my shin against the
fense? That have an instructive abhor-
ance Of snakes, bed bugs, haas and Sc
cessionists? And | have many similar
Infrmities. IL was your fault, and not
mine, that you did not know them you
were simply unfortunate.
You attempt to measure my reputation
by statements obtained from w. S. Beatty
and V. E Shaw. (They forgot to put
out their tranks.) would like to see you
three fellows in one bed. Beatty and Shaw
