says correspondent who was with Gen.
eral Skobelef during the Russo Turkish
war, ..that he acted very imprudently
in constantly exposing himself to the
enemy's fire without the slightest neces-
sity for 50 doing. Do yon suppose,

pleasure TO let the Turks shoot at meP
If I go into danger have good reasons
for it. My superiors envy me on account
Of my success, and would gladly take
an opportunity of getting rid of me. The
only way, therefore, of keeping my place
is to make my troops SO enthusiastically
attached to me that they will follow me
anywhere and make me Indispensable;
and in order TO do this 1 must behave
with that reckless bravery which always
ondears commander to his men. =

ment made as 10 my putting block OF
wood under the scales at Dir. DawsOn's
factory, is a lie, or even knowing Of it,
being there until went To weigh the
tobacco of Mr.. Taylor's OF Mr.. Whites.
The block was removed and tobacco
weighed correctly, and / supposed that
all parties were perfectly satisfied, ~
have never heard II their speaking Oi
it. heard some hints of this being
used against me in the canvass, and not
Icing able to see Mr.. Ben Taylor or
White, asked Taylor's son about it,
and he stated that his father was salts
fled and had not spoken of II to any one.
Now.it seems that this man Hines has
taken II upon himself to get up this let
Ter for Mr.. John w. Moseley's benefit.
He must have been mere boy, as IL
was IA years ago since this thing occur
red, he being only u years old now,
and he had no interest whatever in the
tobacco, and II was for Moseley's bene
lit alone that II was written and circu-
lated. II ! am not correct IN the state
ment of its being fpr his benefit, why
did he not charge me with II ut Mt.

secretly and keeping II in his pocket
and secretly delivering II to Mr.. John

II to Mr.. r.. II. Cooper, gentleman

successful in the canvass. But Mr..
Cooper did not get said letter until after
the Primary election. ! did not hear
Of It's being used against me until the
morning Of the Primary, which was too
late for contradiction, and will say IN
conclusion had Mr.. Moseley charged
this upon me in ample time for me to
have contradicted, and upon my failure
tO:dO sO,then the voters of said districts
in which II was used against me would
have been able TO have done justice by
me. But Mr.. MOseley was afraid of
contradiction, as II would have changed
the result of the Primary. Before I
would have resOrted to such means to
secure the nomination 10y handling
