Oil my conduct relative to the Congressional
election founded on a letter from Mr. M.
I'uiiroo. A the eharges wero entirely desti
tula of truth, I thought proper to address
lho following letter to Mr. Pcarec, and re-
.ntB(l his reply. I also obtained from Mr.
Jncnb RvaiiB, to whom.Mr. Pearce refers, a
Htatumenl of tho conversation that was held
between them. The public will perceive
jy the perusal of these papers, that the
charges made against mo, aro entirely un
founded.and originated in a misunderstand
ing between Mr. Pcarec and Mr Evans,
mid I now publish the whole, with the sole
view of flhowinc the " true state of tilings"

and not witlfany intention of wounding the
feelings of cither Mr Pearceor Mr. Evans.

Mr. M. Pearce,
Dr.Ar.Sin I have seen a hand-bill
miMishod bv Valentino Dest.and circulated

nn extract from a letter in tho words

following:
GrccnivoodSaturday Morning
'Sin 1 arrived here last evening. Dor.
aldinn has been here, and made tho people
believe that Sturdevant is the true Demo
cratio candidate. According to the best in
formation I can obtain, he has represented
Bidlack as a person gotten up in oppo
sition to the domocralic party. Some good
men were amazed when I gave them a true
stato of things. I expect the same game is
being played in other places 1
give you notice that the mischief may bo
counteracted I shall do all I can

. you to state whether yon vrole the letter,
and if 6o,lfom4wiiom you ouiaweu yum
formation. My high estimation of you
precludes my supposing that tho slander
originated with you.and yourjhigh standing
in society compels me to notice tho mat-
ter. Please send a written answer by the
bearer.
I am very lespectfully
Yours &c,

Sm Yours of the 10th, would have
Ijccn answered sooner had 1 been at home
und favored with belter health
With respect (o the letter which makes a
nart of the hand bill you alludo to, lho fol
lowin" is a correct history of it. On the
Friday preceding the election, I had occas
ion to go to Greenwood.and in conversation
with Mr. Jacob Evans, he stated thai you
had been in the neighborhood some time
before and that you had to some persons.rep-
"rescnted Mr. S. as the democratic as Mr. Uiu
lack as the volunteer candidate, or words to
that effect. He seemed surprised when 1
assured him that Mr. Bidlack was the true
.lamnirntiR candidate and Mr. Sturdevant
the volunteer. As 1 well knew Mr. B.was
the rrcularly nominated candidate of the
Administration party.and being my relation
and iniimaln friend, 1 thought it just ami
proper for me to remove, as far as 1 could,
the wrong impression by whomsoever it
jniht bo made, and accordingly I wiote the
nolo in the hand-bill and sent it to Mr. V
ii u-as. Iimvever. far from my de-
ir. lint., riu'Ii use made of it, and 1
cannot express the surprise and morlifica
cation 1 felt, when I saw it. IN either Alt
"Best, nor any other person, had authority
from me to make such use of it, If I can
not assist ono friend without injuring anoih
er I shall do nothing
It has however trunht me a lesson which
2 trust I shall no lnun forget.
' Yours truly,

i..... va n trim statement of what passed

between Mr. M. Pearce and myself respect
iW Mr. Stuidevanl's and Hidlack's election
I told Mi. Pearce I had been informed that
Mr. RidlacU wss friendly to Petrikin anil
Ilest'd interest, and fi that reason I could
' not support him for congress. He said he did
not believe it. 1 also told Mr. Pearce I had
been informed that Judge Donaldson was
to be in Greenwood this day 9tli Oct. for'
the purpose of doing all Se could for.Sturd-l
evaut, Mr. Pearce said he thought that was'
wrong of Donaldson, for Mr. Bidlack was j
the true democratic candidate and Mr. Stur
devant was a federal.
I did not say I heard Judge Donaldson
say any thing upon the subject, nor do I
know that Donaldson said or dune any
tning to make the people believe that
Sturdevant was the truo democratic candi
JAGOB EVANS.
Melancholy Coincidence. A iir.Briggs
died in New York on Aonday. and intelli
gence was sent to his brother in Westches
ter county in that State. That messenger
on his way passed anolher.who was coming
from Westchester to bring the news of the
death of the other brother who had died in
that place. Both messengers reached their
destinations at neatly the same time, and
both brothers were consigned to the tomb
in Westchester together.
REARING HOGS.
Mr. Editor. I wish ro add my testimo
ny to thai of " Sum," at 32 of the Cabinet
fur August; I have never been able to rear
the first litter of pigs from a young sow with
credit to myself, or profit to any one, and
it is now rnv practice to kill tuem tor roaE
ters, rather than make another attempt. I
have, however, seen some who have been
more fortunate, but, as a general rule, I be
hove the thing, as 1 have stated it, is
well established; and in a paper, which 1
have now before me, " The Carolina Plan
ter," 1 find the following observation :
" It is a fact of common observation, with
even our old servants wbo have long been
bog-minders, that the first litter of pigs from
a young sow, or as they call them, gilt pigs
are naturally ot a feeble constitution and un
thrifty, and difficult to raise, and even if
raised, never perhaps acquire the size and
weight that litters ot the same sow do alter
wards." And, in addition to this, I would
say, 1 have raised imio than twenty calves
from young cows their iirst clves and
have never failed in obtaining them line
strong and healthy; nay, if I were to doub
le the number, 1 should not be beyond the
truth. Can any of your readers account
for a phenomenon that is so generally accre
dited, as to have grown into a proverb
' the calf of a young cow, tho pig of an
old sow." t.
