Mr.. EDITOR;
III your paper OF recent date, you
accuse Mr.. Samuel Ferguson and my
self Of publishing an article in a
Northern newspaper in which we
said rather severe things against the
South. This we deny, we never pub
lished or wrote the article which APP
peared in tho Pittsburgh Chronicle,
and did not know anything about it
until the paper came out; we were
very sorry that it appeared, as the
people OF the South had always
treated US fairly and kindly. We are
willing to take our oath that we knew
nothing OF the article until it sp-
peared; also in regard TO myself, it
was moi my intention to leave Hop
kinsyille when.I;did Ihadiutcnded
to stay and iIy 10 settle up my busi.
ness butii seemed that certain Re
publicdns wanted TO take my bust ,
ness IN their own hands aud settle it
up, so let them, and was forced to
take care of myself. Mr.. Mercer the
present editor of the Republican, in
his issue of the 9Th inst, gives me
thunder for that article which ap-
peared in the Chronicle. Mr.. Mercer
had better he sure before he writes
any more articles in regard to me, as
it is mean advantage to take of a
man 10 write about him whep he is
not there TO defend himself.
Now In regard to this alleged
Miller, he has been shooting off his
mouth Il would say brains, but that |
know he has nonc) and trying TO
make me appear rascal while he is
Saint. Miller's history and stand
ing here in Pittsburg are not first
class by any means; ! did rot know
Miller before came to Hopkinsyille
as repeatedly told DIR. Young and
several others. lie is liar for things
