A correspondent in tho last "Danville Intelligencer" lias attacked the official in tegrity of John Fruit, Esq. and published a statement of his accounts, as Treasurer of Columbia county, for tho years 1832, 1834, and 1835. 15y this exhibit of his transac tions, Mr. Fruit is made a defaulter to the amount 02,073 83; and from tho face of the account, persons not acquainted with the manner in which business of that de nomination is conducted, would readily in fer that he really 'owed that amount, and retained it in 1 is own. hands. This, how ever, is not Tim cash; and, as the promul gallon of the statement is only intended to affect his nomination as a candidate for Khcrifl, wo Icel m duly bound to give a direct contradiction to it, from an cxamina lion of Ins account, as iixinniTnu by tiiu VOUCHERS OF Till".
