DIR. SIMMONS DEFENSE
AGAINST AN UNJUST

EDITOR OF CADIZ SENTINEL:-The
following defense was prepared and
presented to the editor of the Cadiz
Republican, with the expectation that
it would. find a place in the columns
of that paper, as it was the medium
through which my character had been
assailed; but l find that while Mr..
Richard Hatton is ready to prostitute
the columns of his paper, and lend his
own influence to the low, base purpose
of slandering a stranger, he lacks the
manlnss and magnanimity to allow
that stranger the privilege Of defense
through the same medium, even when
that stranger proffers to pay him for
publishing that defense. When my
name appeared as a candidate for the
sufrages of "those who agree in opinion
with me" / was not so unreasonable
as to hope for an entire exemption
from liberal share of scurrillous at
tacks-being fully aware of the exis-
tcnce Of certain species of vERMIN
which infest our towns and villages to
the great annoyance. of society; who
seek employment as the scavengers of
political factions-who love to make
"hellish meals of good men character;
and feast and fatten like vampires

that expected to receive passing nos
tice from this species of politicians, but

an inefable degree of contempt for

who, to crafty his Unsuitable morbid
appetite for this the lowest form of al

ture delights to feast, would sacrifice
the character and mar the peace of his
aged female relative,
"Whose days nave dwindled to the shortest

and thus add to the already accumula-
ted ills of her declining years--and
with no less contempt for that distin
guished embodiment of editorial digni-
ty, whose undignifed obsequiousness is
equaled only by the profusion of oppro-
bious epithets, with which his astute
editorial in this case abounds. I sub
init the case to an impartial and dis

yesterday morning, Buford's cavalry

that the cnemy's evacuation Of the

portion of Stewards cavalry evidently
covering the retreat of the rebel infan

but did not result III ascertaining wheth
or the enemy had fallen back on Cor

some flank movement, to get between

to Stonewall Jackson's movement on
