ONCE MORE UNTO TllE DIIKACH. We had hoped that the further dincuaaion of the question of Toting a subscription to the C., C. (>. A* ('. It. It., would not be marked by that temper An/) ItiHAvnnaa *n?l ut.??? * #! ** have heretofore distinguished the course of the Preta and Banner in this matter. We hkd thought that that paper won sincere in its utteranco "&oa<l frioiuls snd neighbors is it asking too much of jou to let this matter drop ?'' We liarf indulged the hope that the straightforward, candid and conservative letter of General ilagood would have disarmed the hostility and rancor of the l*rtx* and Banner, and that it would hare been influ^nci'd thereby to cease its efforts to irnncri* tho ?irr??rr?>BH nf antor. r * O "" v""' prian and advancement. Wc had hoped that at leant the letter would receive roppoctful consideration?all of our hopes hare failed of fruition. In its review of General Hagood's letter the l'rtiwr and lianner has surpassed itself in the apitefulnesa of its utterances. It has garbled, perverted and misconstrued that letter in a manner not at all to its credit for fairness. It has pounced upon the letter, and it does seem to us that if u ft I ft nurnnao in Ua Ai?ifinJom I Co Bee in how many particulars it could find fault. The cagorneas to criticise adversely has led it to do General Hagood great injustice, and has led it into unfairness and perversion in its writing. In the firsUplace in printing the letter the jPress and Banner has put certain portions of it upon which it conceives that it can make a point, in italics. It no where states that the italics are its own, and not put there by General Hagood, bat leaves tho public to draw the inference that General Hagood, himself emphasised the parts of the letter in italics. Perfect fairness would have dictated that the letter be printed just a? it came from the hand of tho writer. In another place, the Press and Manner has quietly cut one of General Hagood's sentences in two, using the half that could be distorted, to its use, and leaving unpublished that part which it did not want. It quotes G?n?ril 11aMOd an Mving "Tho frionila n)' ?lm are- prepared to guarantee nothing." Whereaa the aentanee should road Urn*, "the friends of tha Read are prepared to guarantee nothing but earnest effort to success?' (italics ours.) Now if the worda "earnost efforts to succcHit" mean nothing and are unimportant why did the Press and -fianNec&ink^it noce#?wpj Ukjtait. then ? 0?' <u?j journal the right to cut a sentence in ipaWing* complete sentence of half of $ - : therlfe^lTteHng lh"e meaning? These worda we're important for that they^ ahow the candor and honosty of Uie "friends of the road" as contra distinguished from that spirit of secrecy and excluairenesa charged against them by the Pr?i and banner and the Medium. c In another place the Press and Banner quotes : "There now remains due and unpaid by the railway company certain balances of salary to^its offlcan ?? TT?? ? ? ?? u?t<> iiiv mm x>uliner , tops and proceeds to expend its fund i of sarcasm and ridicule upon that statement. It seeks to uiako it appear that that sentence confirms thu fears it * has always had that there are heavy arrearages of salsries to be paid to the officers of the company, and yet tlie very next sentence in the letter disposes of this very assertion, and proves its utter incorrectness. It is almost a part of the preceding sentence.- It is certainly so intimately connected with it that it cannot be divorced from it, as the IVmi and Banner his sought to do, without entirely changing the meaning of the first. Let any candid reader read them together and sav if tho IVm ??</ H"? ntr was warranted in using them as it did. The sentence rends ihus : ''The remaining assets of the original rosils after paying the debts of thoxe roads, became the property of the C.. C. G. 9t C. Con and exceed in amount the liabilities here referred to a.? unpaid.'' (italics our.) Yet tho Yresit and banner affects to believe, in spite of thM plain statement that the company owes lav^e Bums of money for officer's salaries and that it is atill paying euorni"u* Mtlttes to a host of hungry officers. J>om that paper think General Hagood ? has made false statements about the matter? No other inference in possible to be drawn from its lauguage. General Hagood farther states that the expeases of surveyors <tc, are to be borne , by the construction company. But even this does not satisfy the /*. dl B* Though assured by General Hngood that the expenses of Mr. Kchofluld have lu'?n borne by himself and his auto cietee and are not chargeable to the Company, the Pr?c* qm<I I\nn,icr perainta is Mtertinf thai th? bomla of tbi* eompenjr?r? liable for the debt, Cieaeral Mafood writes: "1 would aajr tlut the portfire known aa the 8cli?d?Ui mortgage >* to teen re bond* not ouo d*Mar o{ vhtch has heen e**ou!udt or will be excepted till negotiations are oe?eln4ad<bjr him for a auui uuffioient i> MM the whole throngh line to Ke?? u*hy."

In truth not a bond ha* been issuud, not one vveti printed, much less delivered to the Farmers Loan and Trust Company. When this mortgage was executed it was thought that Mr. Schotield bad 1 perfected his arrangements to obtain the money nocesHary for the work. In order to facilitate hiin, and not delay him thase words were inserted in the mortgage ns though the bonds were issued. Hut an matter of fact they never have been issued, and cannot be issued till the condition precedent to their being issued is complied with, to wit, that Mr. Schofiuld succeed in obtaining n sum of money sufficient to build the whole lino of rood through to Kentucky. Doubt less all of our readers have soon in deeds and mortgages th?j words, "and in consideration of the further aunt of three dollars to tuu'iti hand paid. the receipt tchrcax in hereby acknowledged,'* tcc. Yet tho three dollars is never" paid. Judge Jo thraii and Mr. Parker a us tain Gen. Hagood's statement that the honda have not been issued and will not be issued unless Mr. Schotield complies with the terma of the contract. Hut it is not necessary to pursue this subject further. We have given ennngh of the article of the Press and Banner to show the animus of that paper, nnd the manner in which it has treated (Jen. Uagood's letter. That gentleman's character stands too high in the public estimation to need defense against the insinuations and disbelief of the Press and Banner. It were a work of supererogation to defond the General's.reputation for veracity. No tnan that knows him will dare to doubt it. We are mazuu mai anyone caa be so carried away by partisan fueling, and the personal desire not ta be defeated even in a bod cause, an to be blinded to considerations or pablic good, and public enterprise. : Ah we bavo-'said we had hoped this of. jtiMusainn was nt an ond. Thinking that Oen. llugnod's letter W4>nj<i meet ntt the objections of the Jfcdi\im and Presx and Manner, we la?tweek wrote n pacific .article holding out the olive branch with the.confident expectation that our contemporaries would meet u.t half way in the apirit that prompted our conduct.

This announcement carried disappointment to more liearta than thane of the Attorney* engaged in the case. It was in this cane that Mr. Benet made the argument that the 1'rexs and Hanner and the Medium have taken so much delight in recently publishing as sustaining their - position on our rail road question. At least we suppose that was the molive that prompted them. Surely it was no "sinister motive." And now comes the Su preuie Court and Buy* they wcro nil wrong.

We were invited to attend the marriage ceremony of Henry Calhoun and Mi*s Mary Johnnon, which took place on laxt Thursday evening at nine o'clock at Itotftfdhu. ono and one-half milo town.

McCulla'a and stold $40,000 in gold out of his house, and from there to Mr. Hannister Allen's and nearly killed him to make him tell where his money was hid. At this time Henry was Col. Cnlhouu's butler and when the family rushed out on the piazza to sue tke enemy, Henry without being told or telling nny one his intention gathered up all of the silver plate, put it in a box, and made his way out of the back door and on to the woods where he remained until night, when he returned with the silver. Since freedom Henry has remained with Col. Calhoun's family and seems much attached to them, and has voted the democratic ticket at wvery election since the war.

The right scopuln was pierced hh with n" bullet ; the body buried with face downward nnd the limbs doubled upon the body. Near thin place there has be^n a fording place from time immemorial and tradition has it that it wilft often the crossing place of both Tories nnd Whigs during the eventful days of the rovolution, and that they often met in deadly conflict in this vicinity. There arc several mounds near this place which indicato the burial ground of those who fell in these deadly feuds. Our, some distance from the river, is said to contain fifteen bodies. Many pieces of firearms have at various times been found uear this ford.
