some lunatics living in Augusta. Looks
that way. 1 read an editorial yesterday
from an afternoon paper printed in that
place denouncing me in the most severe
terms. THE meanest part elf it was that

me and attacked an innocent person. in
the mcet shameful and urgentlemanly
mariner. There happened 10 be a news
paper writer from Washington who stop

weeks ago, and was very handsomely en-
tertained while there. Withsut either

he had reproduced from The Age-Heral
all THAT I had written about Augusta,
because he thought it was a good thing
to print, no doubt. He took liberties with
it, and made me say some things as print
