But most of her love affairs-were told to me by my wile. 1 have beard her speak of quoting scripture to Mr. Ellis and his quoting scripture to her. I ays treated her kindly, and never oftvred her any abuse. During the latter part of the winter, when she appeared to huve hone came fretful and passionate, and sometimes imp’ neglected her work, and acted so strangely that we several times on the point of dismissing her. But know- ing the cause of this alteration in her conduct, we pitied her, hoped she would soon getover her (ie vga and do as weil as she did the first six months. At any rate we concluded ae along with her as well as we could, till Mrs Fairchild went her journey to visit her friends in Philedelphia and elsewhere. Whatever was wrong in her conduct we attributed to her disappointment. We did not think her vicious, or given to bad practiees. We gave her every Thursday afternoon and evening to go where she pleased. She usually went into the city to visit, as she said,her cousins, those cousins we knew not. She generally returned in the evening, accompanied, as she said by some man. | recollect on one occasion that she did not return till midnight. We have heard her say that her sister, (Mra Easty) was an bp pice! woman, and as much an infidel as anything. 'e have heard her say, too, that Mr, Hoyt was an unprincipled man, and that her sister Mary wes quite intimate in the family. — We know nothing of these persons except what Rhode told us. On one occasion, as my wife informed me at the oung man waited on her home in the evening P phrenologist. She said he had been wal with her on Heed, an told her that develeont more plainly ver examined, In the latter part of ra left us for the purpose of learning at! — did not succeed. The reason is unknown to me. I have the impression, however, that it was on account of her pene ALY 3 Ao her board. Mrs. Fairchild went ey early in May, and was absent ten or twelve During her absence I broke up lousekeeping, though I studied and lodged at home. Soon after Mre F went her journey, Rhoda came to my house and requested pemnsien to stay a day or two to make or alter a dress 'o this I objected on account of the inconvenience, as 1 was then boarding at one of my neighbors. But pitying her poverty, ond as Eliza Towne was then at my house, told her she might stay till Eliza Towne went away. She stayed afew days. Some weeks after this I met her in Washington street. She said she was going to my house in search of a pair of shoes which she had either lost or left there. Teald her that the door was locked ; but if she would wait till I returned from the post-office, she could 0 home with me and look for her shoes. She went into one of the stores, and on my return I called for her, and she went home with me. She told me she was then living or going to live with a family in Jamaica Plains. She ex. pressed a wish to live with us again, and observed that no family seemed vo much like home to her aa mine. I told her that we could not receive her back, unless she would do differently from what she did a few months belore she left ds She said that when she lived with us abe was very nervous, owing to her disappointment, and that she hardly knew what she did, but that she had now vell as ever. I told her that on condition she would do as well as she did the first six or tight months she lived with us, she might return it Mrs. F. was willing. She promised that she would. When my wife returned from her journey I told her what Rhoda had said and promised. She was perfectly willing to take her back on that condition. In a short time I called at the house where Rhoda was living, told her what Mrs. F. said, and engaged her to return the middle of Scene, ‘on the expreas condition above mentioned, ‘sasuring her that we would receive her back on no other condition, Accordingly she returned at the time appoint- ed, and remained with us about six weeks, We soon found there was no alteration in her for the better, and that we could not get along with her as our help After some abusive treatment which she had shown to my wife, 1 conversed with her kindly but plainly, and told her to leave the house that day. I' reminded her of the promiseto do as she did at first, She insultingly replied that she never made any such promise She was much offe and said that she had Len de my wife. and that now she dis liked me as much as she did her, andadded ‘1’ll pay you for this.” I said to her, Rhoda,you profess to be a Christian, and how can you show such a disposition? How cou! you now retire for prayer in such a s\ate of mind? She then became calm, and made an apology, and | gave her permission to stay till the next day. btained girl immediately.

She had not been there long before a female friend called, and | went immediately with this friend into our sitting room in the basement. Rhoda soon came down into the room where we were sitting. In a short time my wife returned from the Lowell Lecture Soon after her return, Rhoda left, 1 believe, in the omnibus. From that time I never saw her, nor did I have any communi cation with her situer written or verbal, till the lest Sab. bath but one, [ think, in April, 1842 On that day she attended =r, meeting in the afternoon. She came into my house directly after meeting, and stayed td an hour. Asi was engaged in the study with the clergy man who was then preaching for me, I saw her only as she entered the house, and just as she was leaving it. On the Friday following that Sabbath, she called at my house about 3 o’clock, P. M., and requested to see me I went with her into the parlor. She then told she was sick and poor, an ed te go home to her parents, and requested some aid from me.

She then geve me to understand distinctly what her circum. stances were, and said e must have some money. I told her that if such wer jituation she must go to the man for money who hed put her in that situation. She re- plied, “"T must have money ; and if you don give me some, | will pet it upon you.” I remonstrated, and en- treated, and threatened. ‘She then said that she did not wish to injure me ; that what she wanted was money, and that if 1 would give money she would not put it bg tee me: otherwise she would. Perceiving that she was bent on her object, and recollecting her previous threat when I turned her away from my house, | asked her how much must give her ? She said two hundred dollars. | (hen asked her who told her to come to me for money ?— She said that her sister (Mrs. Easty) told her to come; without saying positively whether | would givéh r the money or not, | told her that] must see her sister, and ag! to meet them cn the Common at $ o’clock in the evening; I then went to see a kind and generous frie 4, told him in confidesce and with tears what had taken place, asserted my innocence, and asked him to advise what ‘o do; after talking the matter over some time, he said that all things considered, | had better pay the money, one hundred dollars then, and the other hundred at some future time; an allusion was then made to my feeble health, my dependent family, contemplated journey, and my scanty means of subsistence, when he said he would give me the money on condition of a promise from me that his name should never be mentioned in connec- tion with the subject in case the affuir shoukl ever be- on public; that promise I sulemnly made. | met Mrs. Easty and Rhoda at tue time appointed; | told Mrs. F, at once that Rhoda had falsely accused me; that I never had any improper connection with her, and of course could not have put her in that situation; 1 then aske } her what Rhoda had said to her? she replied that Rhoda hed told her she called at my houee the latter part of Nov. or early in December (she could not recollect which) found me at home, and ! then had connection wita her by over pS deere) her and almost forcing her; she also said that oda told her t! after conversing so: $200; $100 then, from Kurope, or if | velled in this country, I would pay it in January if | lived to return. 1 then gave Mrs. Easty one hundred dollars for her sister, assuring her that | it, not because | was guilty, for I was not; but to save my character, my family, and the church from reproach. told them both that I would not pay cent except on condition of their ‘shania which they 6 to regard as much binding on their souls as the oath of God, that my name should never be mentioned in connection with the oH ject, and never alluded to in any way to my injury. promise omy ong made in the most solemn manner pee.

In that letter [ naserted her knowledge of my innocence, and ro- proved and condemned her wicked conduct in obtaining money in such a oie I cannot now distinctly recollect the contents of that letter; but I am quite sure that the following expressions were in it: ‘I denied yer charge T deny it now, and shall deny it till! die” 1 also character ie everything to me, and I had rether sacrifice all I have in the w¢rld then have such a thing said of me, even by a female to whom ! had never spoken.” I then reminded her of the condition on which | pada her money, enjoined upon her the importance of fulfilling her solemn promise, and entreated her not to add sin to sin by vielating that promise. | t to learn thet that letter hus been destroyed. About the middle of Mey I set out on my journey, and réinrned early in Sep tember. In six or eight weeks after my return, Mrs, Esty called at my house one morning, informed me that Rhoda had a on born on the 18th of Sep- tember, and that her had come, and was then on the old bridge wishing to see me. 1 told her that I would see him in half an hour. | ki from what had previously between us, that she expected more money, and her five dollers. 1 found him and Mrs, Easty on the bridge. He immediately informed me that Rhowe told him that I was the father of her child. | said to him that the charge was false, as she well knew After conversing a while, he said that Rhode hed never mentioned mf name to him in -connection with the subject, till about the time of her con- finement. He said that he had eome after the other hun- dred dollars which I had promised her. I told him that I did not promise to pay it till January, and asked him whut she had done with the other hundred. He replied that she had but five dollars when she was confined. By this time we had crossed the bridge and Mrs. Hasty parted from us, agreeing to meet us on the Common at 2 o'clock. Mr. Davidson and myself then walked together for some time and talked the matter over | asked him what Rhoda had told him He replied she had only told him I was the father of the child, and that I never conneetion with her but once, and that was done almost by force. | again asserted my innocence. He said it might be so; but Rhoda had put it upon me, and he had come to settle with me. I told him that 1 would pay the other hundred dollars on the Common at 2 o'clock. “But,” said he, * that is your settlement with bes. gow must now gettle with me. And you must give me $50 a year fer six years,” 1 told him that such a demand was mort cruel and unjust, and that | could not comply with it. Laguin asserted my 2, spoke of my feeble health, and expressed my fears that | should never be permanently restored He said that he should not expect of me impossibilities; but if I were able to pay bim the sum he had demanded, I must do it or he would expose me. | found that he was fixed in his deter- mination; that he had me now in his power, and that m only prospect of safety was to yield. We then separate: I went directly to my friend, told him thet I had seen Rhoda’s father, and what had passed between us. As the matter had now been communicated to a third person, he expressed his fears that I should be betrayed. He said he would see me again in halfan hour. | then called, and he gave me one hundred do! . And ax he put the money into my hands, he said with much emphasi: ision, “Let what will come you are never to trouble me in this matter,or say anything,either directly or indirectly which may any one to suspect me.” J most solemnly assured him that I never would, Censure has been cast upon this friend for what he did, and upon me for not aisclosing his name. But if { were permitted to state all the circum- stances of the case, and the reasons he assigned why | should not cennect his name with the offair, 1 am sure that such censure would be withheld. At any rate I shall atrictly adhere to my promise. Let whet will come, his name shall forever remain a secret in my bosom, It shall never be made public through me. And why should it be? It would prove nothing as to my innocence or ruilt. metimes regret that | mentiened the fact at all. jut in giving an account of the matter to my friends, I mentioned it in the order of events as they transpired. Whether I have done wrong in this thing | leave the can- did to judge At2o’clock, I net Mrs. terpad on theCominon, her father not having arrived She said she had not spoken ofthe matter to any one, not even to her husband. She further sttted that as soon as her husband had heard that Rhoda was going to har child, he put it directly upon Mr Hoyt. Her father soon joined us and having con- versed ‘with them for some time, I gave him the money, assuring him that I gave it not to hide my guilt, for I was not guilty; but to save my character. He said my character should be preserved harmless He then took his daught hands into his own, and said inthe most solemn manner, “I! consider myself as much bound to keep the matter secret asi do to seek the salvation of my soul. And you, Mary, must bind yourself in the same manner.” She rej led, “Ido. I will never mention the matter to any living creaturi We then separated. Soon after this, ifmy memory serv me, I wrote the letter to Rhoda which has been publish: ed. There are some ungusrded expressions in that letter which have received a different const: uction trom what was intended. Suffice itto say, that my object was to write in the kindest manner possible, that by an appeal to her sympathy andthe sympathy of her father, might make asaurance doubly sure that [ should be protected from allharm. I did not dare to or threaten, lest I should offend them and provoke them to say or do something in a passion to violate their promise It was to accompliah this objectthat | expressed myself in such kind and charitable terms. The whole ir had con- vinced me that I could not appeal to any principle of ho- nesty, and that an appeal to sympathy was my last and onlyresort. For this reason I wrote as! did. Last October, I sent Mr. Davidson fifty dollars, which was received by him as Ihave recently learnt from the po: Edgecomb. J heard nothing more about the matter till I received a letter from a friend in Boston, the early part of June, mentioning that Rhoda was in the hands of ene- mies, and that she made certain disclosures implicatin, my moral churscter. What has since transpired is wel known. The shock was too great for my feeble body and mind to bear. My reason was dethroned, and 1 was left to make an attempt on my life. The ioss of blood soon restored my reason. I deeply lamented what I had done, implored the forgiveness of my God, gave mg part- ing directions and gavice to my iriends and family, as- serted my innocence of the crime laid tomy charge, and waited patiently tor an exchange of world, expecting ici 2 moment to be my last. But God saw fit to spare me, for what purpose | know not. May | be resigned to his holy will! My carnest prayer is, that let me suffer what J may, he will preserve to me my reason. I have now given, accorling to ay dest recollection, atrue and faithful account of this unhsppy affair.’ have doubtless omitted some thinga—but’ nothing, 1 be lieve, which is essential to a right understanding of the matter However dark the circumstances may appear against me and however difficult it may be for me to disprove the testimony brought to convict me of crime, yet 1 believe that the time will come, even in this world, when my innocence will be made to appear ; but if not in this world, it certainly will in the world to come If{ am guilty in this matter, then ix the peaceful traveller guilty who gives up his purse rather than his life to the highwayman. I am well aware that the influence cf money has been and still is exerted to de- stroy me; and there are fome who seem to indulge the most deep rooted enmity and hostility. Indeed, o n bal tty, (Josiah Dunham,) has been heard to say, "1 will leave no stone unturned till I have gut Mr. Fairchild out of the ministry.” What poor man, and Md aa lf what clergyman can withstand such influence? | pro fesa to be the servant of a Master who, when he was re- viled, reviled not again, who forbids retaliation, and en‘ joins it upon his followers to render Jove for hatred and dforevil May I ever act consistently with this pro- feasion! Whatever the decision of the Council may be, (and they can judge only from the evidence presented.) I shall have a clear conscience before God in this matter, and the judgment of the great day will declare it. THE SEASON—THE CROPS—THE CLIMATE OF OUR country.—We are now in the month of August, and the season is so far advanced that we are able to take a general survey of the crops of our count! The wheat crop is generally heavy. In New York and New England uncommonly #0. In Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, it isa full average, perhaps more than that ; but in Onio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, lowa and Wiscon- sin, the immense rains in June and July, injured the crop. We see,no reason, from all the returns before us, to aver that the wheat crop of 44 is the heaviest ever before raii There is undoubtedly more wheat raised this year than last, but it ix very doubtful whether it is any more in pro- portion to the increase of population. The corn crop is promising in this State as well as in the Middle Stutes, and also throughout New land, and it looks.well at the West, but the contained rains, before alluded to, is said, in many sections to have done this crop an irreparable in- jury. The thousands or rather millions of acres planted with corn on the fertile bottoms of the Wabash, the Illi- noin, the Missonri, the Arkansas, the Red and the Missis- sippi rivers,were overflowed in June, for such a length of time, that this great weatern crop must thereby be di- minished. Butthe Eastern, Southern and Middle States will ee this deficiency so as to make a full! averege crop. The green crops—such as potatoes, pear, beans, tur- nips and clover, are exuberant beyond’ precedent. ‘The earth is laden with the luxuriance of this vegetation. There is so extraordinary a diversity in the climate of the American States, even of those not far distant, that iti# almost impossible to speak generally of the climate of our country. ‘Ita variety almont forbids bani J of late, there has been considerable of adrought in Maine and the east part of Massachusetts; while in Connecti- cut and Eastern New York the country has not suffered.

On the contrary, through the Sonthern tier of counties in this State we understand that they have had avery dry spell this summer, end their green crops are said to have suf. fered.

James G. Bennett, Esq. : Being a subscriber to, and a constant reader of your universal Herald, which brings us news from almost every corner of the fglobe, with so much regularity and dispatch, 1 deem it proper to let you know that we have some uews in Georgia, even in the very heat of dog days of the almanac. Ac- cording to due notice given through the public prints, with a regular invitation from the Clay Club in this town—a mass niceting of the whigs of Geor- gia was held here yesterday. It may be proper te inform you, that our town (or village, as it is more generally termed)isone of the most delightful places in the State, very centrally situated for such a pur- pose, with a fine railroad to thesea board, and crossed at every angle, with fine roads to every part ot the State ; possessing a liberal, high minded population, the wealthy part not rich enough to make fools of themselves; the poorer part general- ly far above want ; so betwixt the two extremes a happy medium of intercourse is kept up, something better than that existing amongst your codfish aris- tocracy, 8o graphically described in your editorials eegsmanelly ¥ oe ‘A few of our leading whigs in Morgan, whose hearts were much Lads than their means, taking up the proposition of Col. Joseph H. Lu kin, one of the delegates from the State to the Whig Con- vention in ‘Baltimore, which was to have @ mass convention on the good cause in every State in the Union, took a notion that we must bave it in Ma- dison. It was a large idea for such a small place; but they went to work with all their mighi—en- listed in their cause some of the rich and eubstan- tial men of the party, whose influence soon ce- mented the whole whig power of the county—a barbecue was projected on the most magnificent scale, which has been gloriously carried out to the utmost satisfaction of every individual who at- tended. ‘i i On Tuesday, the 30th ult., the delegations from all the adjoining counties, with crowds from dis- tances which we did not expect, assembled in thousands, marching through our village with their banners, music, flags, ¢oons, carts, wegone, coaches, and vehicles of all descriptions. J heve not language to express the enthusiasm w! ich per- vaded the muititude—the hyrrahs! the firing of cannon, the simultaneous burst of rejoicing from old and young in our crowded streets, almost made the stones cry out; it was truly a mass movement. All around the village for half a mile, was one crowded encampment. The houses of our citizens were thrown open; the occupants, both whig and democrat seemed to throw every nerve into action to welcome and entertain their friends from distant parts. On the morning of the 3lst, the proceesion was formed of the several delega- tions and Clay Clubs, with music and banners, &c., numbering upwards of ten thousand; hun- dreds and thousands looking on—they marched in martial array to the camp ground about one and a half miles irom the village, to a most beautitul place, where a commodious stand for entertaining the audience was cary prepared, and tables erected, the addition of the fengths in aggregate being cne mile, all sumptuously filled to overflowing, meats of all kinds barbacued im the finest style. We were favored with the attendance of the most dis- tinguished men in our state, with several from South Carolina and Alabama. The convention was called to order, a most eloquent prayer from the Rev. Mr, Mosely, one of the ablest and most effectual whigs in our state and a real Boanenges. The Hon. John M’Pherson Berrien was unani- mously elected president of the convention We had from him, trom Mr. Preston and Gen. Waddy Thompson of S. C., most eloquent and powersul speeches, with a host of distinguished speakers; the meeting closed with the utmost unanimity and good feeling; resolutions strong as cayenne, | was carried, and the Hon. Henry Clay and Theo- dore Frelinghuysef may set down Georgia asa State good for them for 15,000 majority, and po mistake. The democrats are tetotaciously ex- flunctified in this region, having no capital to work upon but Texas, Texas, Texas, the immediate annexation of Texas!—We whigs here say Texas too, but we want to do the thing which is right about it ; and it will not be four years betore the Democrats in our State will thank us for just hoid- ing them back on this favorite hobby, and permit- ting them to walk into that land of promise, in a right way, instead of running out of Georgia be- tween two lights, as many of them have done. We are all heart and soul for Henry Clay—the Harrison spirit of 1840 is up fifty per cent. The Macon Convention of that period is said to be no- thing to the one I have just narrated to you. Last evening we had public speeches to listening crowds in our public equare, and in the Court house to the ladies particularly. 1 was listening to all of them occasionally, and must tell you a couple of anecdotes interspersed in the speeches. General Waddy Thompson, a most fascinating, able and eloquent speaker, was oddressing the ladies, In il- lustration of the principles and bearings of the odious Sub-Treasury system—in the distribution of the spoils and divisions of public moneys among the numerous stealing, rascally office holders of the country, he said—an Irishman hed lended in this land of liberty, and being unable to find em- ployment, such as he wanted, hired himselt to a gentleman to feed and attend to his poultry— amongst his fowls was an old giant Mus- covy drake, whose spoon bill gave him de- cided advantages over the sharp billed chick- ens and turkeys of the gang. Pat imbibed a hatred to the old drake, and thought in this land of liberty he was not entitled to such a share as his physical pomere enabled him to take, so one morning, in the glory of his breakfast, Pat picked up the drake, took out his knife and brovght his bill to a point, chicken fashion, pops him down and says, “there now be content to pick up your share you flat footed varmint you.” Robert A. Toombs, one of the ablest stump orators of Georgia in pointing out the various qualifications of dis tinguished democrats, Chi ges in (to the crowd of the court yard, being all males, in full assem- blage at near midnight) that fine specimen of pure democracy, the Honorable Mr. MeCon- nell, of Alabama, who, on being asked where he had imbibed the principles of democrecy with so much talenied rowdyism as exhibited du- ring the last session of Congress, , that “he was raised in sight of the Hermitage—that his mother was justice of the peace—a deacon in the church, and kept a stud horse—no wonder she had asmartboy.” | 3 My letter is written in midst of confusion—our bakin gg from a distance are all moving home- ward, spirited up to the highest pitch—of pba | patriotism.
