A GARD.

The Abingdon ptrpinioR Of last week
publishes an address written by me
during the closing days Of the last ses-
sion Of the General Assembly intended
to be used rs an address, setting forth
the reasons why the passage Of the Nc
Culloch Bill was resisted by the 80 who
voted against IT. The manuscript was
left by me with member of the Senate,
who promised me, if it was not used, to
forward it to my address at Bristol, with
the positive understanding was to con-
vert 1t into IN editorial and publish it
as such in the Ncrs. Being sick / then
came home few days in advance of the
Of the adjournment Of the Legislature.
For some reason | cannot state, the ar
tlrlc never reached me. Otherwise ii
would long since have been published
by me. 50 far from rcgrotting its pub
lication, am glad of it, but would have
preferred to have done so myself. The

passage Of the bill, and it expresses my

This gentleman well known for

the Texas Senate and we find the fol-
lowing said of him by the local papers
Of his District I!
During the extra session Senator Nc
Culloch has been prompt in giving at
tention to all matters pertaining to the
interest of his district and the state ut
large, and is winning golden opinions
by the discretion with which he repre-
sents his northumberland Adc0pce.
We think that DR.. McCulloch, of
Leon, may be called the "sprcad-eaglc"
orator of the Senate. In an impromptu
speech he is about as ready and good as
any Of his colleagues; and when warmed
up, he deals largely in figures and meta
phors, and becomes terribly classic

were out at the scene of the late fight.
Ten of the Indians engaged in 1t were
