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leaving unpublished that part which it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

the public will Relievo any such thing.
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.

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

Here ts n sermon in a few words. Not
theories, but facts that have been proved
by practice. The value of property
continues to increase and thu debt reduced
annually. Does it need more than
that to convinco a business man of the
necessity of rail roads. Vole for the subscription.
If the road is built there
can be no doubt of thw good results.
If the road is not built we are not hurt

We were invited to attend the marriage

were at dinner, with the erident
intention of robbing the house but fortunately
it happvned that Col. Calhoun,
hid four sons and three gentlemen
friends were in the house at the time,
which fact mo intimidated the cowards
that they rode off after loitering about
awhile and went to Mr. Geo. 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.
May he live long and his happiness
be as deep as the sea, and his troubles
as light as its foam.

Some time last week Mr. 1>. IluglioH discovered

soldiers were also found. The right scopuln

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

Many pieces of firearms have at various
