CmnmumratintiB. " Correspondence of the Ledger. Lswotit, N.O., April 28th, 1852. Mr. IlosHKii Storuins : Dear C'or(.nn-~~Y<mr -favour of the present inst. has just reached me. I have left Georgia, and have engaged to peddh in Caldwell County for a man who live.1 in Charlotte. In coining from CliarlotU here, my Boss (for ho came with mo) and I came through Newton : which place if improving at a brisk rate. The people <X th it place think thoy will connect th*>1 place with Charlotte by a Plank Road by way of Lineolnton. They are now plao iug the Timber on a beautiful site for : College at Newton, and have a school nov in operation, conducted by two Classical Scholars?the one from New York an< tho other from Philadelphia?and hav now forty boarding pupils in anticipatioi of their college, which they hope soon t have in readiness. I made particular inquiries about Cor us t came up; they are asking $1 in inos parts of Catawba, though I heard of soin 30 bushels ottering at 75 cents near New ton* though there is little offering in thi up country at any price, yet in the uppc part of this Countv some corn can still h had at 50 cents. This place, Lenoir, is growing up in tli midst of little mountains, and already sui -passes in eliganee, and equals in siz either Monroe or Lancastorville, and ha a finer hotel than any in Camden. Tlii may surprise you perhaps, and I must sa it did me greatly : and if you doubt it.ju: come up here to spend the summer, an enjoy the pleasing reality. There was considerable frost here this morning, ati all manner of vegetation is very backwar I crossed the Catawba at the IIoiso.Foi on the '20tli inst-, and have not seen ar Corn up since. I wish I had time, ITosher, to tell yt what I have seen and heard since 1 ha\ been among the mountains. This 1 w; defer though till my next. My lloss tot out a license for ine yesterday, to pedd goods in this County. We sold some i auction yesterday, and you ought to ha1 seen the natives in a erowd of some tv hundred pressing on us, till we couTrTnt$ ' v ? uui - i kmc 111 inr jirnr, ^as yon say.J Al finally, Boss had to dismiss the sale keep them from breaking down our waj tyon ; they having climbed in it, on it, at all over it, like pigs on a corn pile. Tn my next I will tell you somethir about the galx up here, some of whom ni very pretty; and as I expect to marry t quick as I can, I want you not to writ anything in future that will not l>c I for my wife to sec. Address me in future gt Lenoir, N. t and I will drop voy. a lino from. jOiiy pa *>{ the country whenever the *perU me.

Then fore, if in what I shall say I cvinco less < the flnttcrer, I hope to prove at least more < the friend.

We wish to be particularly understood, m that so far from wishing to injure Mr. Mor- ft gan, we have always pronounced the Banner w Ir" to be one of the best papers in the State ,and b have recommended it to our friends, und In P x" giving these brief notices of our State papers, ^ it has not been our design or intention to in- j, "s juro tho character of any man. Wo are as a] ur much a friend to Mr. Morgan, as to Mr. Bow- Hj ^ v man or Mr. Johnson. We are acquainted p u* with neither. e, 80 Mr. Morgan says "that he will be com- Hj polled to concludo, thnt there is a wilful disposition 011 the part of the editor to misrep1ft reaettt his true position unless there is a with- u he drawal of the ohjectionahle language. As 0 id, au <}ct of sheer justice it is called for. There " Ve was no intention 011 his part, (our) as he as- j, ot- serts, (wo) to affect the interest of Mr. Mor- 0 nt- gan." I1 n- Mr. M.goes on to say, "This, of itself, I1 in- had it not been coupled with the language j, >th which follows, extracted from the editor's \ answer, would have been perfectly s itisfae- s lory." - " J This extract from our paper,.then; which All 1 - - " iouowh, appears 10 uo tnc cause of so much ' I * dkcord. j ^ " We thought and us Mr. M. neknowledg- | s "f* es.thut tlio uxpcnrcs to which lie (Mr. M.)was , r ''1H subjected, made it incumbent upon him to { t give i?is paper as extensive a circulation as possihle, in order to lighten the burden upon Jl >n him, and therefore sold the politic; ! interest t "hp of his paper to the party which would pay ' 1? the highest price." Mr Morgan says 4 Now ' ,ns .Mr. Morgan made 110 such acknowledgment. ? u a To give his pijier fin fx ten si re circulation UK did not enter into his calculations. Indeed *'u the very reverse of this might be expected in , sneh a clinnge. The whole object was to we prevent the destruction of his business in / rinlhe ting." We can assure Mr. Morgan we were honest, for wo really thought that his object ' r n was to give his paper an extensive a circulapr>" tioiuas possible. Mr. Morgnn savs that was . not the ease, so we willingly withdraw that. r,t? It-ia-our duty to do it, for we wish to inisre- 1 ( lV0 sent no man, but Mr. Morgnn says further >oy as follows: M The truth is, Mr. Bailey is as ignorant | of the facts connected with this tr losaetion, ( as lie is ignoruuU-apiauvntly, id' the injury ' ? which he has inflicted on the character and 1 standing of a citizen of this commonwealth- ' wherein ho uasorts, to all intent*) and purposes. that he has set aside his principles to advance lu? pecuniary iiiUctMl."
