 Col. l.. J. REaRpos-Sir An article, which appeared in the ,4,kaasds Democrat, of the 18th ult., over the signature and name of F. II Featherston, who makes himself known as the representative of Scott county, induces me again 10 ask to be heard through your columns.

 if, instead of making known to the public his representative character, he had made known his true character, II would have saved me this communication. In this second piece of stuff, which he is made to father, he, to all lntents axd purposes, acts the part of the goose's 'iother haif which, when she lays an egg, he gets up, fathers ii, and makes great ado over it, though he cannot ,oduce 1t; nor has he sense to comprehend its meaning.

 In my reply To his first unproyoked attack upon me, simply stated facts to refresh his memory, and to let the world know tl,a, the every day intimacy, of which he spoke, never existed between Us. In that piece, he said, notwithstanding this every day intimacy, he did not know me. Now, notwithstanding his tacit admission of the fact staipd by me, he says he has known me intimately and long enough 10 get an insight, and, the more he knows, the less he likes me. Be it so, we can balance that account hy 9Hto. He next attacks 2 typographical error made in few of the first numbers of tic Banner containing my reply-to lis first attack on me, in which the printer, inadvertently, left out the word Sirty,-but corrected It at my suggestion, after tie first naa,!,eEs were stricken of. He, also stated, in his first at- tack upon me, that the proceedings of the Grand Jury of Scott county, was fabrica- ton of mine, and said if ] could produce three names, he would acknowledged the corn, After caused all the names to be published, he now says that he only meant tha, the re- solutions owed their paternity to me.

 He next asserts that there IS discrepancy between the communication and the resolu- iions, as 10 the malorliy Of this, ] leave the public to judge. pitiy the poor fellow the more, as he Is only the tool of another behind lhe curtain, who has made him con ders, of which an honorable and highminded man would not he guilty. Whether he pos sesses either of these good qualities, leave the reader to judge.

 pass by all his other slang for the same reason, that it has been manaiaetaresi by au- other behind the carialn. more deles.able and corrupt than he is capable of being; and with a single remark, wiiiquii, forever, lhf subject; whenever my standing in society, us d man of truth and candor, shall sink Ia iht level of that of E. II. Feathersteh, and an sensible of il, will leave the country as hc did, when he left Texas
