To the .Citizei'q f .Edgefik1:d .flis
trict-and the Publipingerieral,
Ma. I:ITO.-Sir.. it-is knowr to yoirselC
as well as a large portion of the citizdtif tiiis
District, that a letter .was-exposed to, publi
inspection by M aj S..C. Scott during'the 'ses
sion of the last Court in this Distridt.-detailing
the, most infamous piece -of scandal in relation
to nayeelf that was ever 'inyented. .The lettet
allnded io pitrports to have eminared from the
pen of.Mr Hugh i-cudersoq, of Lincoln Color
ty,: Georgia. This Mr. Henderson. is an. unfor
tunate man, neither respon'sible in person nor
property. * The only m ty therqfire that I have
to repell )is fhul caluonnies,-is through the
pubic 'l(es.; and I thorafore ask .a suiail space
in your columns fit this purpose. Indiing
this, I feel that I 'am not only discharging a
duty to myself but to the comnmunity. I will
ommnence, and per haps mght end, by simply
pronouncing every word, tie and sentence in
this infanw!us letter, to be a pervision of truth.
Mir. Henaerson has found it nnuh easier t
mrake grave charges- than to find proof to sub
stantiate them, and, its a ixiiin of law, and,a
rule in society, all-men should be deemed inno
cent, unmil they are pioven to be guilty. I might
perhups.content tlyself under this general rule,
but the publicity giyenthis matter, the baseness
ofthe charge,and'the feeling that seems to
exist in the public .inind. appears to require
something more, , The only part of Mr. Hen
derson's letter that I daei worthy of notice, is
that in Which lie iar'gis'me with having darried
a young lady in my biggy for five or six miles
to Mr H~armon's. a near relative of the lady;
and at a.late hour of the night triade my way
to her bed room or chamber, for the purpose of
comitting virloce on her person; that she
gave the alacmtt. arronsed the faiily &c. (This
charge, if I aau correctly informed, is' so ex
pressed. and if nt it is so iu'plidd ) Now any
one profes-in, the-least discrininaiion of mind,
can perceive that this charge, in connection
with the circumstances, carries falsehood on
its face.
After having . this. lady, according to' Air.
Harmon's own statement, in my power, being
witl iier alune in my buggy' for the distance of
five or'six miles, tlrougaa lonely and secluded
toad, delivering hir safely into the bos-.n of
her family, 'n ' then at .night having let all
other opportuniies pass'by, that I shonld have
attempted such and act, would prove me to be
as destitute of sense as of principal. It is-pre
posteraus, and dquld only find credence in
a mind as igriorant AiA~t is corrupt, . .The fact
will be apparent to '1 ,illighi'elied mind,
that even the moit abanidbued -viliin '*would

'Mr. ilarmon's on a visit, I readily offered her
a seat in 'my buggy, as .I was gumig wvithini
half' a mile of the plaice, W~e set out iti the
*afternoon andi airived' at Mr. H-larmon's a little
before tnight;'[vvas' pressed by Mr. H. to remaini
duriug'thie night, to' which I finally assented.
A bout the usual supper time it' was -annouunced
as eady, and I was. taken -to this famous bed
'chamber, as it has beeit called, where in corn
patty with the famndy, I supped. Here I mtust

After supper was over.all hianda repaited to the
setting room where the evening vwas spent ii
otrdmary contve'r-iatonm. Between nitte and ten
o'clock. I was comlducted by AIr. Ilaron to a
very well furnished bad roomt, retired and fell
asleetp; and~ so retmined uintil alante hour of the
naight, I was awoke by the lighting of ho~rses in
the stable., kntowinig the vtciuus' disposition of
onet of my htorres aind hiavitng been bitt recenitly
d suhferer fromit his lameneSs. I' was alarmed
tnd immiuediatatly rose and after. pairtially
dressing myself, .wveint out inito a bajck'piaza,
bitt could see no servant, and titt knowmitg any
thing of the locali'y of the stabiles, I returned to
my room, where a'thoughtt strtuak me,that there
iit be servants sleeping ht the fire in this
dinting or supper roomi as this 's a very com'
mtimt thinig, anad tnt wishingi to disturb the
frtialy, I opened the door and from a fewv embhers
n the fire place could just perceive .where it
was, and .tner lookinig anid feelitng round and
fintdiing no seryanit, I was in the ac t of ret urning
to my room with tnme initenttiont of calling Mr.
Ilarmon, when .ii turninag :oun'd. I discovered
a bed on the floor in one corner of the room in
a'positin narly be id me as t hamd' been a p
proachiug -thte fire place. .A sont this time a nd
when I htad arrived ntear the dodr at which I
had first entorecn. I' was atccosied by a grufi voice,
demtuanding to know who wa there; I discoyerd
that it was Mr. Himarmon, and, very promptly
informed him. Before I had-time to nmake anty
explamnanation. Gt state' wiati watnted, be be.
gun to inake illiberal insimnuations, Iromd which
'1 he irned for the first time,' that a yosung lady
was sleeping in the room.' I desi'red againi to
expalain to him; but-lie with a tmaniifestationi of
great passion,.refuised to listent to. mue. About
this time, Mrs;. Hatu,ond was atoused as well
ats the youmg lady; umnd the latter, leattning the
canie of ditlenity very prbtuptly repelled the
insinnuatiutits, atnd assured those s*esent, that
shea was noit aware.of any persotns beimng in the

boisterous conversation, between Harmoni and
