On the 10th Of this month Ne p

Ox the 18th of this month We p
lome editorial comments on q 4bIished
Valley coal railway bill thea ne Sandy
he Senate. calling the lending before
Dody to certain feater .ttention Of that
,AArter which weee IS OF the proposed
matter of PREF Snsidered dangerous, as
nd pEeiudiej. .edsnt in our legislation,
erss,s pr 81, in alltliksliho0d, to the IN
lt6ht & only Of the immediate section
~ u which the railway was to pass but
ne interests of the State at large. Our
remarks were entirely impersOnal in their
chAtacser, mentioning none of the corpora
.tors or advocates of the coal railway project
either BY name or by allusion. We ed
dressed ourselves solely to.a consideration
of the proposed charter upon its merits.
In, reply. to these comments of ours acer-
tain person sent us a very coarse aud
.veuemous Communication, annonymously
signed, which we published o. the follow
ing morning. .olrreaders will recollect it,
There was no consideration of courtesy or
fairness resting upon MS to publish the
Communication, but We did 80 in order TO
prevent capital being made out of our re-
fusal In favor of the bill. We took occa-
sion editorially 70 call attention to its gross
nature, and cited its tone as evidencing an
interested personal authorship, and stated
.our belief that the Anonymous author was
an interested party in the coal railway
scheme. That same day. the author sent rs
a note denying any such connection with
the bill as we had imputed to him, and
using language even more gross aud yiruT
lent THAI In his public Communication. OF
course We took no notice of it, considering
such correspondent as entirely beyond the
male of our consideration. And we should
not allude to it now but for an other effort
of the authnr. to, draw US ont, We can tell
him that we do. not intend 20 be drawn into
a personal arangIe with him. He has man
Tested towards as most yindictiVe and
,predeternined hatred, flor what cause we
know notl dating back to the commence
Smeptiof the. present session of the legisla-
ture, and we are willing that he should
cherish and foster this congenial feeling TO
his hearts content. Had he addressed us as
gentleman should in his note, what he
said in it by way of disclaimer, even not
withstanding his preceding coarse public
Communication, should have had full aud
free. publication in our columns. As 1t, was
we felt that We could hold no intercourse
with him, and hence paid no attention q
the contents of his note.
