For the American Citizen I

MIR. EDITOR BY my request,
DR.. Griffin of Sulphur Springs, wrote
description of a case, not for pub
LEGATION nor for criticism, but simply
to send to my family in North Caro-
lima, and being thus unintentiOnnlly
aided, | made report of the same
which appeared in the Canton Nail
of the 2Olh nit. The correspondent
of the CITIZEN. who signed himself
g Wellington \. Brown by ascer-
tanning these facts before attempt
ing his burlesque, might have saved
himself the trouble OF INDUCING in
such unkind cuts in an undeserved
direction. l know, nor care nothing
for medical laws, but having a re-
spect for my family, l will leave it
10 the public whether this an-iu-
vadlnG as he has done the private
sanctum OF our home, by publicly
ridiculing description l published
of my mothers condition, Only thro'
the great JOY and qualification which
all OF us experienced from her entire
relief of formidable disease (Of
which other members OF our family
had died), and from which she had
so long suffered. 1 say, l leave the
public to decide whether by such
conduct this man has not been gull
ty of trespass and intrusion. Pos
sibly the mistake made was the fail
ure of soliciting ami obtaining his
professional opinion to cOrrODOrate
the views those so celebrated, whose
names he has made use of. 1t is d
pity we have no more such brilliant
luminaries that this unenliShtened,
the remote, "the dark corner of
Mississippi" as Wellington called it,
might be intellectu aliy Illuminated
by the ef1n! gence of their rays.
NAPOLEON ANNAcIAS ROBINSON.
MIR. Editor If | could, l would
have prevented the publication of
Mr.. RObinSOi's article of the 2O;h
ult., less through fear of SOME pre-
scribed rule of medical ethics being
violated, than from Ii dislike of APP
pearing So conspicuous. But what
ever may he the result of Mr.. Robin
sons truthful representation or Mr..
BIS ridiculous burlesGue, 1 feel sufi-
GENTLY prepared, in every particu-
lar, 20 meet it. The qualification
which a physician derives from sue
cess achieved i'll the performance Of
his legitimate duties, and the salts
faction given to those Immediately
interested, should certainly render
him Indifferent to the jealous carp
ing of OtherS-uhe evidence OF a
spirit that becOmeth as little the
dignity of the profession as that of
the gentleman. What the nature
of this tumOr may have been, is not
at issue. 1t is sufficient and evil
dent that relief has been afforded, a
benefit derived, and satisfaction
given.
1 am thus compelled, at the ex-
pense OF my feelings, to come out of
LII, Obscurity to repel the SANDER
GUS insinuatiOns cont aimed in a piece
under disguise, which is as little re-
markable for truth as fol- the ability
it displays. 1t is said u few words

ter as certainly and surely as the
dropping OF Il portion only OF IA
mask does the identity OF him who
attempts to conceal himself under |

ROBBERY.-We learn that Mr.
Peter Kavanaugh, who does bust
ness near the depot, was robbed last
Saturday of four hundred dollars.
Mr.. Z. went to his breakfast about
q. m, and ON his return to his
store was surprised to find that all
the money he had left in his till was
stolen. On examination he found
that the thief had effected an en-
trance through the back window,
although it was, as he supposed, Sc
curely nailed down. The rubber
must have been watching Mr.. KS
movements. He has not as yet been
able to Obtain; any clue to the money
or the thief 1t is strange that PEG
pie will persist in keeping money in

the day, and the popular and affable

ANOTHER establishment of
Mr.. A. NJ. Gurley was entered on
Friday night last by some thief, and

property OF Mr.. George Ernest, tax

EI A rather amusing circum-
stance recently took place not more
than fifty miles from Canton. a
lady exuitingly remarked, that she
had procured he services of an ex-
perienccd gardener, and that she
had received from New York all
kinds of fresh unadulterated seeds.
On the following day she gave the
seeds to the gardener With instruct
ions to SOW them forthwith. The
lady saw the gardener at work, but
to her establishment, he had mixed
all the seeds in dish and was SOW
ing them in this condition broad
cast. He was DESTROYS OF having,
as Bro. 3. would term it, q mixed
