IjAW Office next door. 70ur readers will perceive from the advertisement of the Sheriff", that a County Treasurer will be elected on the second Tuesday of October next, agreeably to a jato'act of Assembly for Columbia county. Wo liave heard no person mentioned for this office; and all wo hope is that a good accountant and genuine Democrat may be put injfnomination by our County coiivcn tionvV'i . . 'ICpCofrouEss meets on the 4th of next month; and after receiving the President's Message, which will bb delivered on the day following, we shall be better able to anticipate what measures will be adopted by- the general government to obviate the cVisting pressure. IjGTWe arc authorized to state that any reports, now in circulation relative to any 'change in the political principles of John FRtotT, Esqi are without foundation, and oVily invented by his enemies to prevent his election to the office of Sheriff". Tic is, as 4ie always has been, a genuine Democratic Republican; and in soliciting the suffrages of all voters for sheriff", he feels no inclina tiomto' sacrifice his political principles or abandon his party. ' Certain rumors arc afloat respecting the officialconduct of John Fruit, Esq. while Treasurer of this County; and, a garbled "statement of his transactions will appear in the ''Danville Intelligencer" of this weeji. Wcare authorized to say that the matter wlUTbe fully explained by the present Trea surcr'Hugh McWilliams, Esq., and that Mr. Fruit will be entirely freed from any censure on account of the performance ol his duties as Treasurer of Columbia coun tyi Our readers may look for this expla nation'in our next; and however much such late and malicious publications are calcula ted to operate Upon the Delegate elections, we dariliniy rely upon the integrity of the Democratic party, who know Mr. Fruit, to take afirm stand against tlieso Vile attempts to clefeat his nomination. He is a genu ine Democrat an honest and rmod citizen full,of spirit and philanthropy, and sub ject to ho censure for official misconduct in anycapacity in which he has served the Jiublic.

Mr. Ingramt Please announce the name of HUGH McWILLIUUS, Esq. as a candidate for County Treasurer. MOUNT PLEASANT. Gen. Jackson's Letteus. The follow ing explanatory remarks in relation to the letters of Gen. Jackson, published in anoth er part ofour paper, arc from the Globe of Thursday: General Jackson's Dictation. The Let ters from General Jackson to the editor of this paper, recently publishedj have been the subject of so much calumny and mis representation, that wo owe it to ourselves to say a word in reference t'6 the motives which actuated us in publishing them.- The'y 'we're introduced iii ati editorial reply to the charge by Judge White', that Gener al Jackson was solicitous to 'establish "a Bank of the U. States, founded tipbn the money's of the United Stales, and attached to the Treasury Department." The ad dress containing these charges was publish ed by Judge White, simultaneously at Memphis and Knoxville, the two extremes of the State of Tennessee, both a long dis tance fr'Om the residence of General Jack son. The bbj'c'ci of publishing it at these extremo points, was, .to act upon the ap proaching election, before General Jackson could have time to refute its calumnies and falsehoods. In exhibiting this bug-bear of a national uanlc, it was the object ol Judge White to subserve the interests ol the Bank of the United States. The editor of this paper felt it to be due to General Jackson's tame that his letters should be published, to disabuse the public mmu Iroin the false hoods ol Judge White. JNo other motive could have balled forth these letters from their privacy. No man cah read them without being convinced that General Jackson is Opposed to a national batik, bf any and every description, and that the charges ol Judge White are utterly lalse and calumnious. Wo trust our democartic cotcmporaries will do us thejustice to republish the above statement. From the JVcst. The many butrages committed dally by bands of organized ruf fians, appeal loudly upon the citizens of Louisville to do something ellcctual lor their prevention. fSightbclorc last, a hack driver in the employment ol' Mr. Leach, while passing along Hear Grass creek, was knocked down, and left for dead after the attempt had been made to throw him into the creek. ManV other similar acts have been committed. Yesterday, wc under stand, a man was knocked down and prob- ibly killed by n rbbbcrs It si'ems not probable, however, that sikh a deed could have been perpetrated in the open dav, though it Is certainly pot without precedent in tluscitv.
