Alz KbsToks h fhe Gazette, q last week, I no. teed genils rebuhe 6os he nss of lie names ol Msssrs Pike. Fowlsf and Newton. in the postscript to ietter written by me to Col copelana. in the month Of June last. This rebuke, when it me, my eye. acknowledged as just Ter the rrason that in giving the words of another. the position of these gsnslemen. ia the offence alluded to was no, fnily presented; and fsem the fayctzble impression made apon my mind by two OC these gentlemen during thaA tce. in raiSiar the two companies organized f this place, was led to doubt the correctness oi e fsst copy sent and required another aid # esrif- e before it ~as pubsked. The ssa attempted io be conveyed, ss against the course of Wm. E. Woodrna, wss, that he had made matter of county secondary party. by taking the coarse he had in Obs;ras,ing those engaged in raising volunteers ior the servic that when public opinion had whip, him into his du- ty. the information brought me. as was closing this isiiei. went to prove that he was then disposed to change the scene, aud make political barrier 10 abstraction 10 enable him to succeed in his ciioas designs. The gentleman, who gave the infosna- tion is in the service of his country and being absent, cannot readily be eaIiedupon to asoue the statement of the designs which these gentlemen may have had in contemplation to place Capt, pike in command of the Regiment Their right to do SO. and his to accept. was as honorable on their part as it would have been humiiating in the ir.di. yi6uaI who vas disposed ,e avail himself and his irieFd. oi the aid ot the opposing party, when his object was the pOsiticai destruction of leader cf an opposing faction.

 h subsequent No, notice the card of Col A. Fowler, fakiay strong exceptions to the postscript, and m conclusion. says: "But his charge that had any sinister connection whatever with the raising of Capt Pike's company. or was in combination with the Captaia and Mir. Newton, or any other perso.ls bere or elsewhere to increase the nambet of whig officers. to elect Pike, myself or any oihsr person, Colonel. over Gov. Yell, or to inter- tere. tn any way, whatever, with that election, pronounce, in all it's forms, assumptions and infer ences, iinPudeat. and unqalli6edly fase." That he had or had not, any sinister connection does net ap pear to be made agaRs, s;;::!.:s as charge by me nor did the gentleman. alIording the information, charge such an offence. If the intention of Col. Fowler. in iss1ing the above is to charge on me an unqualified faisehood, denounce the charge base islander, and tiie author a calumniater.
