TROY, AUa. 22d, 1870.
Mr.. CHARLES PRATT,

TROY, AUa. 22d, 1870.
Mr.. CHARLES PRATT,
SIR: We have q short story to tell you
about astral OIL" In the rear Of our store,
about three years since, we had & shed built,
with gravel roof, for Storing Paints, Oils,
Glass, Acids, Kerosene Oil, &C., &c, unior-
tunately for Us, 1t was set on fire early Satur-
day Morning and entirely consumed. The
100 cases of Astral Oil bought from you a
few days since were in the shed, and strange
TO soy came out of the fire almost unharmed
they were piled up two and three tiers high j.;
the wood cases, Of course, were burned Oil
and several of the top cans unsoldercd on
top: but there was no explosion, aud the Oll
in tho open cans did not burn. The rear OF
our store was very badly damaged. The
astral Oil" was within six orcight feet from
the store, and of course in a hot place. Had
the explosion taken place nothing could have
saved the store. We had several Bbls Of
Kerosene in the shed, which burned lively.
Some think if VIC had had "Astral Oip' to
throw on the flames, they would have ,becn
subdued with but little loss.
To say the least the Oil has stood very
severe test, and VIC think it Is all you claim
it TO be. .
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) STODDaRD & BURTON.

proof that his business stamina is not i'm

of idle, lazy loafcrs, who lend no influence or

further, that so great was the violence OF
the attack, and the injury done his person,
that his life was dcspared of, and that he
was carried into the house Of some colored
person living uear BY.
The feelings OF the people are the more
aroused against the perpetrators OF this

seek to hold 1t up to diShonor. FaIsehood
and slandcr arc very grave crimes, and those
who make these clements their stock in trade
arc only worthy Of silent contempt.

The CLINTON AFFAIR." So far as VIC are
able TO gather the facts, anl we have con-
rcrsed with scrcta! gentlemen who were pre-
sent, and siftcd the matter thoroughly, the
cast is as follofs: 4 party Of gentlemen,
atout fsc in uumijcr, vent to Clinton to
request that the arms there kept would not
be giyoo out to the colored men, it being as
cerained that such purpose was contem>
plated. The person or persons in possession
gave the required promise, and the gentle
men on returning were fred into by party
Of cQpred men, the fire was returned and
1ircesof four of the assailants were wounded.
Hem that matter ended. !Atnght notwith-
standing the promise the arms were diStribu-
ted On Monday morning Somc three hun
died armed negroes gathered in the vicinity
Of Clinton, and threats were made that the
country within five. miles round should. be-
burnt. Becoming apprizcd Of this alarming
condition Of aff.lrs, white citizens from the
surrounding country quickly turned OUT and
o6n q large force had collected. Acting
Under authority Of Mr. Smith Jones, Sheriff
d 'urcns, a committee Of five gentlemen
yss sent to the insurgents to Ascertain The
naturc Of the warlikc attitude. They were
tod that they had been Informed the white
men were about 10 take their arms-another
ole Of the RADICAL plans for promoting strife
and that. they had turned out to prevent
+. The committee assured them that no
stch idea had been entertained. that the
white men did not want their guns, had no
lie for them, and would not touch them iif
they were lying out in the road. On being
questioned as TO the threats of Burning they
denied ever having made any, AND that being
convinced now that they were wrongly jn>
formed as to the whire men intending 10 take
the guns, would go to their homes peaccaby.
The committee said that was all that was de-
sired, and then returned to the Sheriff posse.
The insurgents in q short time dispersed with
the exception Of about sixty who loitercd
about the town until near night.
This is the sum and substance Of the plain
story as related by reliable participants, the
wild, exaggerated and untru;hful reports to
the contrary, thousands of which are aaoat,
and all of which are eagerly picked up and
