LIBRARY.
HUGH x. WALKER.

The Marietta Library. on and after
Thursday. May 18th, will open daily from
9 to IL, a. M, instead of from 10 to IL as
heretofore.
This choice collection Of the best litera>
ture of the day is substantial acquisition
and growing attraction to Marietta and
deserves more liberal support from her
citizens than it yet receives.
II heard of your Library before came
here" Your collection is admirable. :"
i never could have been contented so
long without your Library" are phrazes
heard more and more frequently from visi-
tors to Marietta
New books, magazines and papers are
constantly upon the shelves and tables,
and tablet hangs on the wall or which
members may write the name of any book
they wish the Library to procure. Its
friends should not be satisfied till there
can be salared Librarian and sufficient
fund for at least good, regular quarterly
book order.
Let those who have boarders remember
it as feature and attraction of the town,
Let every one who can spend two dollars a
year for the advancement of this town
take a membership in the Library, and tell
hisfriends of it. At least come in and see
it and give it friendly word when you 20
away.
A cordial welcome, comfortable chair
and something good to read are free to all
corners between nine and eleven every
morning.

AN OPEN LETTER no "J.Y

Dear Sir In the Marietta Journal Of
May 18th, appeared an article from me
criticizing and commenting upon the re-
ported action of Smyrna Doctor as COM
municated by you in the Journal of May
9Th.
That criticism (Which you say is "se.
we're, y expressed not only my own views
in the matter, but / know it voiced the
sentiment of every humane person in this
community.
Of course, if the report as given by you
at first, is untrue, then my criticism falls to
the ground
/ am glad tor DR.. Hurts sake that the
report was an error. for would not like
to believe him that kind of man.
l am glad you have said that the Doctor
did not undo his work on the occasion re-
ierred to, for that relieves him of the injus
tice done him in your previous report l
wish you had let the matter rest with the
assertion that you had been "misinformed."
for that would have been sufficient But
you say you were "either misinformed, or
else to make your article more readible"
you made such statement, without doing
any injustice to the Doctor or harming any
one" simply quote your own language.
Now, don't you know whether it was ito
make your article more readable" or be.
cause you were misinformed2 Which was
it?
Was it not doing an "injastice" to the
Doctor to place him in false light before
the public, and injure his professional rep.
utation, and his practice, simply to make
your communication more readable
The remaining portion of your article,
speaking OF white wings" &C., 1 consider
totally irrelevant to the case in print, but
will simply remark, that at present l have
no wings of any kind, mot being built that
way,) but feel quite sure that should any
such wonderful growth develop itself on
either my physical or spiritual body,
shall not flop them with JOY" las you so
elegantly express it, over the misery of
any fellow creature
| am not an M d., you are right in that
venture. fl were, / should avoid the
Smyrna correspondent who, to make his
articles more readable might misrepre>
sent my actions.

efforts in nominating me for member of
the Legislature However, greatly l may
have offended, / think do not merit such
punishment seek no title and claim
none, save the one hereunto subscribed

WHAT HE DID SAY.
A MISREPRESENTATION CORRECT.
ED.

The Press Associated dispatches are
often sent out with more concern for sen.
satiou than truth. in sending out reports
of the proceedings OF the PRESBYTERIAN
General Assembly, in session at Ashvile.
N. c. the remarks of Rev H. X. Walker,
of Marietta. were misrepresented, and he
was made to appear in light foreign TO
his nature If there is broad. minded
liberal Christian anywhere, free from
bigotry and sectarian prejudice, Rev. II.
K. Walker. is that man. His precepts and
example during his residence in Marietta
show that this is true. 1t will be seen by
the following letter, that he makes cor.
rection of the garbled extract from his
speech, that appeared in the Constitution,
in which words we're put in his mouth
that he did not utter:

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.
THE COURT HOUSE CAPTURED BY
NORTHERN INVADERS.

Some twenty>eight or thirty Northern
born citizens invaded the court house on
Friday afternoon of last week, and, march
ing mp to the court room, were admitted
without firing gun, or being fired upon
by the foe, After calling the invaders to
order, Capt Hughes stated the object of the
meeting. and named Mr.. Garwood as Chair
man, which, became a unanimous vote.
Short speeches were then listened to
from the chairman,-Dr. Allen, Mr.. Gilbert
Dr. Cortelyou, Mr.. Burnap, Capt Hughes,
Messrs. Brady, Maxwell and Spaulding,
and others, all embodying the same senti-
ments which all present shared and en-
dorsed.
Each spoke in highest terms of the gems
ial climate, the hospitable people~and vast
resources of this grand old state-our
adopted home, and all agreed that it is our
duty as Northern men to endeavor to disa>
buse the minds Of our friends in the North
of any prejudices they may have entertain
ed respecting this section, its people and
institutions.
1t was also especially urged by num-
Der of those present that we could not take
more important step, and one that would,
more than anything else, induce Northern
immigration hither; than to tax our means
and energies to aid our Southern brethren
in building up free public schools. and a
good solid educational system which they
are now SO nobly struggling for.
On motion of Capt. Hughes, committee
was appointed to draw up series of reso-
lutions, embodying matters which we wish
to have discussed at the State convention,
and present the same at our next meet
ing
On motion of Mr.. Brady it was resolved
to secure full attendance, if possible OF
the members present, at the State Conven-
ton.
After discussing necessary arrangements
pertaining to this matter, the meeting adj
journed until Tuesday, June the 3rd at
4:30 p. m, at the court house

DESTROYED BY FIRE.

On the night Of the 18th Mr.. L. NJ. Pow
er, of Mt Bethel, in this county, had his
store house robbed and then burned
There were at first some doubts as to
whether it was robbed or not, but further
developments show that it was.
The deed was not done through malice
and revenge, but prompted by the spirit of
avarice and murder; for how narrowly they
escaped with their lives when on waking up
they found their store house burning up
and their dwelling catching on Ere The
act of murderous robber.
The loss sustained was about $500.
Rather heavy for ayoung man that's trying
to get start in the world, and Lawrence
has our sympathy and trust that he will
soon be on his feet again
