The communication of Louiim 1'. Wig fall. Esq. to the Editor of the Edgehelh A vertiser. publi-ihed in the paper the of 22d inst., is lie first and only intination. that I hsve ever Iai, tiat this Gentleman had demanded, that my publication of the 2nd of Julv liit, should he withdrawn. - Whether ilie alleged commuitnication, Ima king the demand, wts presented to the board, or to any mtlember of it. at what time and under what ciremnstances, are questions in regard Wn which I am totally ignoratt. The following statement 11my throw some light upotn the stiject. The adyiiment of the affair ofi honor between Mr. L T. Wis.nli and Mr Pr.-ston S. Brooks, w:s prepared on the 27th of July. Ott the 28th the adjustment was submi'ted to mhe parties throtigh iheir second for ac ceptance or refosal; and on the 28th there fore IMr. Wigfall nmut have seen, that the board had introduced my namne. tUpon my consenting to their voluntary application "maide without any siggestion from any source." Oi the norning of the 29th Mr. Wigfall arrived at the Lintestone Spritngs about 8 'clock. lie had a long interview with Col. Elmore. and then with Col. Elmore anI Col. lampton conjoint ly About 10 o'clock that miorning it was announced that the diffieulty between Mr. Wigrall aud 31r. Preston S. Brooks was definitely setti-d. It is here proper to state that I had peremptorily refused to he considered a party to any settlenent. be. tweetn the young gentlemen. and had made known this determination to the board, as early as the norning of the 28th. Nay more I declitied to do an) act, matter, or thing, by which I might he re::arded, as recognising the existence ofr any isSnte or 4controversy bet ween Mr. Wigfall and my. sell. After the interview hetween Cdl's. Hampton and Elmore and Mr. Wigfll, I was calied upon by Col. Butler, and re ceived assurances throtgh him from Col. Hampton, that Mr. Winglhil meditated no hostile measure against me hut that ot the contrary he had spsoken of te int terms of high respect. Tois was amoit 10 o'clock. About i I o'clock of the same day, Colonel Hamptotn sought ant interview with me and gave me further assurances as to the intentions and feeling of Mr. Wigfall to. wards me. Immediately aftrwarls if I recollect aright, I received fromlt the board the following letter. coniniiting as will be perceived an explicit assuratnce that Mr. Wigfall iad made no demand upon me, of any kind or description. "LirErSoE SPRINGs, Jlny 29, 1P410. Dear Sir,-In order to remove all possi ble cause from which the dil'erence un happily existing between Mr. P. S. Brooks and Col. Wigr:tll. and which we hope is in progress of udjtumtment. may again be revived, and to insure a lastiing. comlete and permanet harmony. we ask your con scnt, after the adjustmen: of the afibir he tweel Mr. Brmo!s and Col. Wigfall, to re. Move any cause of dissatisfaction, which * nmay xist, by the withdrawal of whatever rnay be considered personal and offiensive to Col. Vigfdll in your paper of the 29th June last, published in tie Edgeield Al . C vertiser of the 2nd instant. We are in duced to do this, from our own view of what is necessatry to restorec peace andI good feeling, without being protmpted, by atiy sugge't ion frotn any source, and upon a carefutl consideration (of the whole case. We~ ktnow of not intenti.mt to mrake it a caus of quarrel. or the basis of any hostile ac tiont, but we are arred to this aplientin als o me~saure- of preve,ion. anmd to~ save anll parties frotm them pojibtiility of colli..ion, which canniot btut lead to dep-tlorablet results. WM1. IIA lI PER, J. [1. 1E ANS. Upon thtese assitratnces, both written andi verbal, I did consent to mte with1drawal of my article; and at the speciatl instatnce of Coil. I amtaon prepatred at wtitteni consent which I pilacedf in htis hamnd- about halt past I11o'clock, samying tha~t "I trusted it to him, not to go out of his possession, nor a * copy or it to be takeni for any puirpose; a "that my act of withdrajwal was volutntary amid at the special instance of the board, and thtat whtile I was willing tha tMr. W. should lie itnforme.d of my withdriawal I wvoubml not consent to recognize hitm as ai party to thte tanatton." Inm a fe~w miin utes aftemr my delivering of the paper to Col. lampton, I appeared at the table of the hoard. andi after receiving their cont gratumlationts uiponi the adjtstmnent bietweeni Mr WVmrfltl and M lar. Brooks, I took leatve orthe-m pre'ci~eley at twalve o'clock. Now! I a-.k at what tttne was (Uapttitn Greggi. note deliveted to the b).trtd! Was it onti the 2Sth when Mr, Wie fall first aw the written adjtustmnent? Could it have beentj delivered at any titme he-fore I1 o'clock of the29th, at wshicht titme I recneivedl the written statement of the board to the comn . taty ! Conld he have made the (he m-and before Col. hIamptoni's assutranmces to nie, or anterior to tmy last itnterview with the boamrd. I presumne no one will suspeLct Col. Hatmptoan or the board of un fair dealing. When then wvas it delivered? It may now be perceived how utterly uni warratnted by the facts, is the imtpres simn attempted to be produced by Mr. Wigfaml, that my article of the 29th Jutne was w ith drawn itn consegntence of his re quirinig it. The public tmuy tiow appre ciate thme motivas and feehnmgs by which I wsas promphtedi toi yiel, at the sohicitaitionis of the board, my consent to the with drawal of that pubiteation. They must see th 't it hadl no contnection wvthtor heat inig, or i :fiuetnce, upotn t hte adjutsttmentt of the afftir of honor bet weetn the yotuntg Getntlctmen, htt ott the contrary that it was ivnafter that amlair was se'tled. If Mr. Wigf~tl accepts tny withdrawal cupon the term5, uponi which it was miade, be is welcomec to it. When I look back to the circumust ances, that occutrred Ott th-- 29th ofioly last, and the emotins which they creased, I hauvc no cautsen to regret tmy coutrse. If howe-ver Mr. WViffall repudti -LCs thic terms~ of nty withidrawia I and nt empts to place it upon other groutids, I I*rp announce to him, that he must regard hat withdrawal, as having never beeu nade. I am utterly opposed to all Ne ws mper controversies. of a persoual charc er, & have no respect ror a reputation ac juired in that node. I am persuaded that he community can Feel no interest iin any ontroversy htween two persons, not more listinguishel than Mr. Wigfall and my elr: I weeuid therefore, ask or'that gentle non, that when he and I are to have any mua:te< hereafter, they may be had and ettled face to faee, nnd eye to eye.

At this season of ihe year. when vege tation and other decomposition is going I rapidly on, take as much pains to keep the ti air sweet about your premises as you 1; would to keep your houses clean. For s surely the impurities that enter the sys- r tem through the respiraiory organs are as C pestilential as tuere dirt that may adhere e externAlly. It the first place, be careful to biry deep in the earth all putrid animals or o meats. The soil will absorb the ol'ensive o elfluvia and thus acquire richness, whilst 8 noxious influences are withheld front the 21 atmosphere. To your sink drains, that h may not be often conveniently dug and w cleaned tout, and also to the hog yard and il another place, more frequent applica- h tions of quick lime, or, what is better, ti chloride of lime. This will absorhe, tt measurably, the lad odors, and leave the nr atmosphere untainted. Then go into your cellar and hunt out every vegetable that is decomposing, and remove it to the 01 ci hog yard, tnake the cellar as clean as pos- t sihie. and apply to the walls and ceiling a ti good rout (of white wash. Nothing is a t surer case of cholera morbus, dyhentery, t and ither complaints, than an impure cel- tj lar under the house you live in. See to i, it. that yot have the air in that as clean a and sweet as in your parlor. ir you took It the preeaution last witer, to deposite a large mass of thick ice in a cavity, or oth er place in the cellar, you will now real ize the benefit of it; not only as an excel lent affair for keeping meats, butter and milk sweet for a long time, but as prevent ing lecomposition in tlie cellar, and fur nishing a cool air, which, as it ascends through tle crevices of the floor, will keep your room cool. White wash should also be well applied to your room ceilings, and to all your out houses. E A person who takes these laudable pre. cautions to preserve lthe air free n atnd about his premises, and who raises his r witlows before the morning sun appears, to ventilate his boose well with clear and cool air, will stand a good chance to avoid tIhe sutier complaints which are often st fatal in families, antd save hiimselfa doe tor's hill and what is of inftnitely more conisequlence; perhapsmaty save the lives oft te cherished miietmbters of his binse hold.-M11uane Cultiralor.
