Ml Epitom: I notice in tbe last israe of the t Democrat, the proceedings of an impromptu meeting held at tt'oodlawn in tbia count, the resolutions or which reflect severely on tbe" writer, and indeed upon many 'other good conservatives who differ from the sentiments of that hireling. The ostensible object of that assembly was to con , eider the question of tbe continuation or withdrawal ' of the candidate for Sheriff from the field. It was gotten up without any public notice in anj Town ship ia the count the whole thing Wing brought together bj couriers 6r l tinners, aud the faitLlul nlj were invited. Hence it resembled a jug with the handle en one side. We wmiM not notice the action of the meeting but for the very grave charges preferred against tie winter and many others who 'think as he does. j As tbe resolutions have already been published in your last iastie, we will here refer to them merely to expose; the farsical manner in mhichavery grave and serious question is disjol of to the entire satis faction of the committee. The meeting opened its very interesting deliberation! by the appointment of a eowtmiUee-extraordiDary, doubtless with power to send for persons and pprs! This committee are cautioned to make a full and impartial investigation of certain unkind rumors' Jtc. Not only is their investigation to be full and impartial but it is to be rigi4 and thorough." The very motion that creates the committee, limits the extent of the "rigid and thorough investigation," for they are only authorised to confer with the candidate himself, against whom the damaging rumors have been heard, and to bear his version of the affair. j It appears that with the "utmost fullness and fracknets" his version is duly issued in the presence of the committer who are so transported, so elated with the marvelous perfection of his version that they consider any evidence or any adverse version as sublimely prp.terou, and thereupon resolve that after a Jull and impartial investigation of tbe 'damaging run.ots'' tiiey have . the utmost confidence in the iuiegriiy of the Candi date, and that the alegations ag;iiu.-t him ''aro-e . from wrong eonirneiioi" put vn a certain sen tence of his, in a uote to lit father, which sentence was SO little thought of by both father and sun, that it was allowed to pass info tha hands of the supposed injured party without let or hinderance. Here then, after accusing the supposed injured party of placing a wrcng construction on a certain sentence in an insignificant little note, whose exis tence is here first gently j hinted nt, the labors of these grave and reverenced seniors end, and after discharging themselves of these weighty resolves they are mercifully discharged by toe meeting Not satisfied with the labor of the impartial and rigid committee, some of the audience dealt ing sonte- j thing on tbe "red hot order, make a motiou to ap point another, fuller, more rigid and entlui.inMic committee. These being new Lands at the bellows, soon wora the thing up to the desired temperature and bring in a document wli cli was read aud very . Lot, charging the supposed injured purty with at tempting to cast a foul Btignnt upon thn character of the gallant standard-bearer acd unjusrly traducing his character. j These are grave charge, and a it is well known in Gaston who all the parties are it becomes the duty of the writer to' vindic.Tie bin. stir and let the blame rest where il prcpcr!y brlou. 'Jo do ibis we must revert to firt dii-?, ii this brings us back to that wrongfully con-trued fmuuee in lba.1 delectable little note so gently LInii-d nt in the pro ceedings of the first committee Tiiis sentence in the note referred to contain tin whole sum and mi! etance of the unpleasant nt here lies the xni'k in the cocoanut--the ret get)x of the whole subject matter.- The note was written in Xjay last under the follow ing circumstances : The (Suj p!-d injured pirty having tenants on his pUii'aiion who depended on him for rations, and being in the t.iidt of ritn planting, and late, having ni corn li-!icd htiit a note by one of his colored u-mtuis t the candidate, who has a mill, asking as a favor t ha: he would grind two bushels of corn for the tenant which ,u'd be re turned out of the Erst gristi so toon as cuiiua plant ing was over. I Tbe colored tenant returned in d time bringing with him the meal and this little note, puppoing the latter to have been intended for. his boss, as the father of the candidate, wl iu mill'.r on that oc casion, said he could not fee it plainly. This little note read as follows : j ra, grind for two 1ii!is of corn if you have it, if not a bushel ai'dja Lai: : toli it ilrcp." Signed, . j j The last sentence wpnt an i'al:c to defignatf'tJie words upon which a ryh cotl ruction isi ullotigiid to have been put. This note wss shown by us to three friends only, it being oar intention to keep it a secret. We knew these g-inlrnien to bo friends of the candidate, and remarked to them. is they can testify, that we would ratberthan twenty dollars we Lad never seen the uote, aul rather than twenty ad ditional that the gentleman had not w rit ten it, for he was personally and politically a favorite with us. and our first choice for the position to w hich he has since been nominated. In justice to that gentleman, we will state that he says; he had no intention of wronging us to the value of anything. oify to im press upon his father Ihnt j the corn was an irrwi modathm and not a sale, as he was in the habit of not tolling corn purchased at the mill. The idea of the gentleman having any intention of injuriag us or desiring an exorbitant toll on a bushel or two bushel of corn, is something so su premely ridiculous and transcendency rnccally that we would not. nor could we make such a charge : but having been assailed by grntlctnen, many of whom are strangers to us, yet who have used too fnoch familiarity with our reputation and character, we deem it a solemn duty to oursclf nnd some few friends who have a regnrd for our reputation to state the facts as I bey a re. The CMiiiid.-.te n;ight well ex claim of these over ofifious gentlemen w ho managed the meeting. save roe from my tiit-u-is.

One of these, old man Henderson Scott, is about 65 years of age and for many years a cripple. Yesterday (Monday) was the appointed day of Gen. Leach and Mr. Scott, candidates for Congress, to address the people of Caswell. Kirk, with a portion of his com mand, about 250 in number, reached Yancey ville about li o'clock, P. M., just as Mr. Scott had commenced his speech filed his men into the enclosure and around the Court House, then filled with people, and then placed his guard at the eutrance of the square with orders to allow no one to pass out. He then! proceeded to arrest Sheriff Griffith, the Hon. John Kerr, Hon. Samuel IV Hill. Dr. N. M. Iloan, J. M. Neal, the former Sheriff, Wiley, and ten others of the' most respectable, Iaw loving and law abiding citizens of I he county.' ! No cause as signed and uo warrant or authority given in any sifiglc instance. These men, as j they were ar retted, were confined in the various rooms of th'e, Court House, The Alamance prisoners having been confined in oue of the rooms when tho command first arrived. Col. ; Withers, who, as1 an officer of the county, occupied a room ii . the Court House, was forced, by 'Kirk, to vacate his room for this purp wse, and to remove his bed aud baggage. 1 j (While Leach was speaking a squad of soldiers was set t into the Court room to arrest one of the oldest and most respectable'! citizens of the county. W. B. liowc. Tho officer in command asked him if Bowe was his name. Upon h;s replying th-tt it was, he was told to cousidcr himself iiuder arrest. By what authority ? asked B6we.. Iu a much louder and more in solent tone, the "same thing was repeated, con sider yourself un-der arrest sir." and, at the sanic time, the" officer put out his hand as if to take him by the collar, when Mr. Bowe put out his hand against the officer's breast, stepped back and desired, again, to know by what authority. The uian'in command of the squad then raised his pistol to Howe's face and i attempted to fire. I The cap exploded but the pistol did not go off. . As the hammer fell Col. Pinnix, who was stand- ing by, knocked up the muzzle of the pistol, a large size navy rcpoatjir. The soldiers then commenced yelling the cries, '"shoot the damn rascal, kill" the damned fobs, kill the last damn one of I hem." These cries were taken up on the outside and for a w lile it seemed as if all bedlam had broken loose, officers and men. alike, bhoutinsr and cursing the whole command on the outride, with muskets cocked and pointed to the wiudows, declaring their intention to shoot the first man who appeared at the window. Ot course there were no kapj)enranre'' Finally the squad returned to the outside having depos ited their prisoners iu confinement in one of the rooms below. When quiet waa restored, thji. the whole command remained with cockedtguus in line' on the outside for a considerable time thereafter. The entire crowd of citizens was kept inj the Court roouV until 5 o'clock, with two or three exceptions, who were passed out by the j nnecial order of Kirk.
