And with this note a ride and powder dask, and j balls, were left at Mr. Wi-e’s loom. After the reception nt' this note from Mr. j Jones Mr. Wise called tin him, at Dr. Randy's ami informed Mr. Jones that Mr. Graves had procured a r.fle other than that .lull at Its . loom by Dr. Duncan, and would bo ready for the meeting at U o’clock I*. .M.

Accordingly the • j i'arues mot at the bridge, Mr. Cilloy and Ins ' ! P«rly arriving theie hist, and all proceeded about „ o clock, I’. M, to the place tit meet- J ( -»n arriving at the plac ■ Mr: Jones and ! Mr. Wise immediately proceeded to mark t | r'lflhe ground They then decided the choice ' iOt position.,. Mr. Wise won the position,and cons tpiurnly .Mr. Jones hud the giving ofihc word. At the time Mr. Jones was informed , by Mr. \V is ,’tn two gentlemen (Mr'Cn It urn ol UenUii kynnd Mr. Hawes ot Kentucky) j wete at some distance oft', spectators but they should not approach upon the ground. Mi. Jones replica tlmt ho objected to their com ing on the ground, us it was against tho arti cles ot tho meeting, but he entertained for tiiom the highest respect. Mr Wise also in termed Mr. Jones that contrary to the terms, ho had brought on the ground I ten r.ft.'v; that il ho, Mr. Jones, icq tired him to do so, he would immodiulcly send one of them away. Upon Mr. Jen (hiding that the r ile wasu i loaded, consented that it should remtin in one ol thu carriage*. There were, it is proper to teinaik, several persona tin the ground I (besides the Hack drives mid the two g mle | men belore mentioned, at a distance,) who , were there without the million y or consent, of either parly, or their friends, ns fur us ig known either to .Mr. Jones or Mr. Wi.-o, and one of these persons was supposed to be the owner ol the field. Shortly after the hour of It o'clock. 11.I 1 . M , the rdl.-s were loaded in the prosenceW the tecoutlc; the parlies were cad ed together; they were lully uwiruoicd by •Mr. Jones r.s It) the r pos I,op, and the words twice, repeated to them, us they wrnid be and as they were.delivered to tiiem. in the exchange ot shots. After this they were ordered to their respective Dost turn's, the se conds as.-u „ed th nr places, and ti.e friends accompanying 'ho seconds were disnugetJ « o ‘g.thi, me ol lire to observe that each obey tho terms ot meeting. -Mr. Jones gave the word distinctly, audibly, and. m regular success.on, and the purt.es exchanged shots without violating in llm leant a siligl*) instrut - t mu. They both uns.eij. Alter which, Mr. Wise called upon tliu friends generally to | •it’-xcinble and hear w hat wan to he said. Upon the assembling of the trends, Mr. Jones in- . qoired of Mr. Wise whether his friend (Mr. ! Graves) was satisfied? Mr. Wise immediately said, in substance. “Mr. Junes, these gentle- : men lino come here without animosity to- 1 wards each other; they tire fighting merely upon a point of honor; cannot Mr Cdley assign some reason‘for not receiving at Mr. Grave's hands Col. Webb's communication, or make some disclaimer which will relieve Mr. Graves from his position?" Mr Jones replied m substance —“Whilst the challenge is impending, Mr. Gilley cun make no explana tions.” Mr. Wise said, in substance: Thu exchange of shots suspends the challenge, and the challenge is suspended fur the purpose of explanation.” |Mr. Jones thereupon said ho would see Mr. Gilley, and did go to him. | Ho returned, and asked Mr. Wise agnn: “ Mr. Wise, do J understand aright that the challenge is suspended'” Mr. Wise answer ed; “It is.” Mr. Jones was then about to pro. : coed, when Mr. Wise suggested that it was i best, perhaps, to give the explanation ns rea j son in writ lie Mr. Jones then said, in suh. sianei; "Mr. Wise, if you n quite me to put i what 1 have to my m writ.ng, I si ml I require | j on to put what \ou have said, or may say, in writing.” Mr. Wise replied; “Well, let ns hear the explanation before hand, as it may not he necessary to put it in writing.” Mr. Jones then proceeded, us ho now thinks, sub stantially to my: “I am authorized hy my fr.end, Mr. Gilley, to say, that in declining to receive the note f rom .Mr. Graves, purport ing to be from G'd. Wt bb, ho iiicint no dis- , respect to Mr. Grates, because ho oii'ertained for him then,as lie now does, the highest les- 1 pe. t and the most, k.ritl feelings; Ini' that he declined to receive the note, because ho chose not, to be drawn into any controversy with Gd Wehh. Mr. Wise thinks tins iipsiverol Mr. Joins was n substance, ns follow-; ‘I am , authorized by my fr.end, Mr. Gilley to nay, that In declining to receive the note from Mr. I Graves, purporting to be (coin GoJ. Webb, lie meant no disrespect to Mr. Graves, because be entertained lor him then, as he does now, the highest respect uml the must kind feelings -r-bul i(iy friend refuses to disclaim disrespect ’ for Col. Webb, because lie does nut chose to ho drawn into an expression of opinion as to him. tSncli is the substantial d.llerenco now between the two seconds, as to this answer or Mr. Jones. The friends on cacli suh., I with the seconds, then retired from each oili er to consult upon this explanation. Alter consultation Mr. Wise returned ioM r . Junes and said—‘Mr Jones, this answer leaves Air. Graves precisely in the position in which he stood when the challenge was sent.” Aluch conversation then ensued between the seconds and their friends, b.u no nearer approach to reconciliation bimg made, the challenge was renewed, and amnio. - shot was ex changed in a manner perfectly lair and hon orable to nil parties. Alti r tins, the sec onds ami the friends were again assembled, and the challenge was again withdrawn, and very simi nr conversations to t.int alter the first exchange of shots again ensued. Air. Joi os then remarked—“ Air. Wise, my friend j m com iigiis the ground,and exclmngingsliols I wn h Mr. Graves, lias how n to Iho world that i in declining to receive tlio note of Colonel | Webb, ho did not do so because ho dreaded I a controversy. Ho bus shown himself a brave J man, mid disposed to render satisfaction to Air. Craves. 1 do tliink that he has done so, | and i(ml the inuiicr should end here.” To tins Air. W.so replied in substance ; ‘Mr. Jones, Air. Gilley Ins already expressed his respect for Air. Graves, in tne written csrros- j pondcnce, and Mr. Graves does not requite ■ of Air. Gilley a uert fidatu ;.l character for Col. Webb, he considers himself bound not only to preserve tlio respect due to InmseJf, but to defend the honor of Ins friend, Col. Webb.’ These words us Mr. Wise, Mr. Jones reoollccts, and Mr. Wise thinks be ud ded the words: ‘Mr. Graves only insists that ho has r.ut borne the jute of a man who is nut a man of hoiioi, and nut a gentleman. ’ , Alter much more conversation, and inetfeclu- 1 si attempts to adjust the matter, the challenge was again. renewed; and whilst the friends wire again loading the rifles for the third exchange of shots, Mr. Jones nod Mr. Wise walked apart, and each proposed to tho other anxiously to settle the affair. Mr. Wise asked Mr. Jones'lf Mr. Gilley could not assign ibo reason lor declining to re. coive the nolo of Go!. Webb, that bo (Mr. Gilley) did not bold himself'accountable to Go|. Webb, for words spoken i i debate? ' Air. Jonesreplied that ‘Mr. Gilley would not assign that reason, : because be did not wish to lie understood as cx- I j pressing the opinion whether he was oi was not | | accountable for words spoken in debate.” Mr. ! j Wise then, according to his recollection, asked I Mr. Jones whotner'Mr. Gilley would not say, \ i hut in declining to leecivc the note of .Col Webb j be meant no disrespect to Mr. Graves, eilber I direeily or indirectly.” To w hich Mr. Jones re- j plied allinnalively, adding—‘Mr. Gilley enters i tains the highest respect for Mr. Graves, but de- 1 dined to receive ibe note, because bo chose to be drawn into no controversy with Col. Webb. * After further explanatory conversation, the par- j lies then exchanged tne third shot, fairly and honorably, as in every .instance. Immediately j previous to tho last exchange of shots, Mr. Wise i said to Mi. Jones Ml ibis matter is not terminated bis shot, and is not settled, I propose to shorten 'be dtslnnou." To which Mr. Jones replied, ‘af ter this shot without eflect, 1 will entertain the proposition.” After Mr. Cilley fell, Mr. Wise for Mr. Graves, expressed a desire to Mr. Jones to see Mr. Gilly. Mr. Jones replied to Mr. Wise, “my friend is dead;” and went to Mr. Graves and told him that j there was no objection to his request to see Mr. 1 Idiitey. When Mr. Jones upproacited Mr. Graves and informed him that his request should be ! j granted, Mi. Graves inquired "How is be!" The ' I reply was, "My triend is dead, sir.” Mr. Graves ! i then went to hts carriage. Mr. Wise inquired of ! Mr. Jones, before leaving tile ground, whether he . could render any sort h e, ami tendered all the aid !in bis power. .Mr. Wise and Mr. Jones concur I that there were three sbois exchanged. I s*ucb is tho naked statement of nil the material Gets and cireninstances attending this unfortunate ! all nr of honor, which wo make injustice to our 1 it tends, —to ourselves—lo all the living and the tlead—and it is made for the only j purpose of allaying excitement in the public ’ mind, tun!-to prevent any and all-further contro, v ersy upon a subject, which already is inti enough |ol woe. We have fully and substantially stated | wherein wo agree and disagree. We cotdia ly I “greo at ail events, in homing unqualified leslimo ny to ihe (air and honorable manner in which j this duel was conducted, \\ e code .v ired lo discharge our duties accord ing ta that code under w hich the parties me:, reg ulated by magnanimous principles, and the laws of humanity. Neither of us has taken the least exception to the course of the o her; and wo sin cerely hope that hcio all eonlrove-sy whatever may cease. We desire our respective friends to make no pub tcaiiop on the subject, None can regret tile termination of the sflair more than ourselves, and we hope again that the last of it will he the signatures of our names to this paper, which wo now affix.

BY EXPRESS 31 AIL. [rnoM oca connesponuint.] WASHINGTON, March Ist. In tho Senate 10-dav, Mr. DAVIS of Mass, finished his speech against the sub treasury bill, and a most able and instructive speech it was. Ho demonstrated in a manner which could not fail to be satistactory to every candid and inteli gent mind that the establishment of u great gave. ainent bank, founded on the public revenue, was the.end and object of the whole financial policy; thu true design and purpose of the fatal experiments of the administration on the cunen cy and business of the country. He exposed in a striking manner Iho mischiefs which have flowed and must continue to llsrv from these schemes of the government. When Mr. DAVIS finished Mr. STRANGE took the floor, and moved on adjournment. He will speak to morrow. During the morning hour, Mr. DUCHANAN presented a cup of consolation to tire sub treasu ry advocates, in the shape of a memorial from some fifty or sixty members of the Pennsylva nia convention to amend the constitution of that S ale, in favor of the financial policy of the ad ministration, and urging Congress especially to proceed with as little delay as possible m matur ing and passing the sub treasury bill. M r . B testified to the respectability and honesty of the : tncruuruliau. Nj doubt. But what a Bit ofl : ninnies they must be! 1 Another bid for popularity at home, and in the western Stales, was made by Mr. WALKER, who moved that instructions be given to the public land committee to inquire into the expe diency of ceding to the dill'erent states all the inundated lands within their limits. In the House of Representatives, the Speaker I announced the names of the following members j as composing the select committee to inquire into the cause and circumstances ol the late unfortunate duel. Mr. Tousey, Chairman; Mr Potter, Mr Briggs, Mr JElmore, Mr Biyam, Mr Harrison, and Mr. Uaridcn. Mr Briggs and Mr Harrison were excused nt their own request, on the ground ol their being already engaged on committees whose duties ate exceedingly urdous. A resolution was adopted for enforcing the 13th and 14llt rulu es the House lelalive to the privilege of admission to lho.H»ll. This :s un derstood to have been aimed at Col. Webb. A custom has prevailed of admitting editors and others to the llcor; though they do not come within the rule for the admission of privileged persons. The members, indeed, have been in the habit of introducing any of their own per sonal friends when they thought proper. Mr. HOWARD, front the committee on For oigu Relations reported a new hill for the pre servation of our neutral obligations; which was made the order of the day for to morrow. The bill to prevent the abatement of suits to to which the Bank of the United States was a parly, was then taken up and passed. The bill providing for surveying the North eastern Boundary, which was lire special order for to day, was postponed till Wednesday next- The bill making appropriations for the pay. mci.l of pensions was then taken up, and occu pied lire attention of the House during the re mainder of tire sitting.

Tiro Havre packet does not sail till Saturday, and the operations of lire day were confined principally to sterling hills for London and Liverpool. A very inconsiderable - amount changed hands at 107 and 1074, princi pally at the former rales —the sellers being con , lldcnl that it will rise t > 10H before the next pack et day, ami, therefore, hold on accordingly. There is every appearance of an approaching conflict between the sellers and buyers of ex change. Jhe movements of specie arid produce will regnlale its fluctuations hereafter, but trade alone is a very unsteady regulator of cither in land or foreign exchange. -Exchange operations, left to their own momentum, without the inter vention of a central power, in the shape of a bank, « large establishment, or some public organiza tion ol money mailers, ate always tossed tibout according to the hopes and fears of the moment —the waste and surpluses of lire day. To-day inland exchange on the south is rising. On Alabama, bank checks ol that slate sell at as high a discount as 13 to 14 per cent. About three weeks ago exchange on the same district was readily bought and sold at 6 to 7 per cent discount. The inland exchange on Georgia is higher—so is that on Mississippi and Louisiana, than it was a month since. Such is the inevitable result of leaving the ex change operations ot commerce to he regulated by the chances of irade, without adopting some gen eral system guided by inlellcct, science, and design. On the north western states, inland exchange is gelling deranged from the same causes. On Ohio it is now 5, G, and 7 per cent, although the hanks of that Stale arc,in as good a condition as thoße ofNew York. Until the spring opens, when the produce of Ohio and the West can reach New York, ex-I change on that section of country will gradually; rise. On Michigan it ts as high as 12, 14 and 1 15 percent discount, produced by the united uc- ' tinn of the seasons, course oftiade, arid depreeia liou of the currency. COUMKItCTVL. LIVERPOOL, COTTON MARKET JAN. 5. The proceedings in our Gorton market since lasl Friday have been on a very limited scale.- Buyers have evinced a lukewarmness which no change of circumstances seems adequate to account for. Our import last week was consid ered rather heavy, tjul has been during the pres ent very light, and the stock in the ports at the close of the past year could produce no disan pointipent, as it nearly accorded with previous calculations. Tile transactions of laic m yarns and goods have certainly heeu .exceedingly cir cumscribed; but this is commonly the case ul this season of the year, and the inquiries, especially for yarn, of winch (he slock on hand i= very moderate, have been such as to give promise, ere long, of extensive operations,in these pro ducts. However, we have a further reduction of fully 4d per lb. to notice ibis week in ihe value ol short stapled American descriptions, making lire tail in them, according to the sties made in the last fortnight, id per lb , und at this decline J importers generally are willing to meet the de- 1 maud. Other descriptions, though ot dull sale, have mostly gone at steady rates, and in out- quo tations of which we find it scarcely necca.-ary to make any alteration. Speculators have nil been nt all disposed 10 purchase, nor have wo had any demand troQi exporters. Upland is the only description which has been much in request, and yet ihe sales have chiefly been at rates quite id below what were previous ly-current; and the few and small sales effected of Orleans and Alabama, have been ala like do piession. Sea Island has been neglected, and tor which out quotations are therefore nominal. Brazil, Egyptian and East Indies have been little acted upon, but prices, notwithstanding, have been susceptible of no very obvious decline. 1 roin tne 30th uli. to ihe sih last, inclusive, the sales altogether, aie computed at 7,620 bags, viz: 30 Sea Is and at 16d to 22d; 10 stained do at 8J; 4360 upland, 7i a 8j; SSO Orleans, G.j a 510 Alabama and Mobile, 6J a lBO Te nam- Inioo, 9} a9 j, 270 Bahia and Maceio, a9; 530 Maranham, 9i a 10; 80 Cartbagena 9u LaguiraGJ; 330 Egyptian, 9 a 13; 30 Madras, sg' a G; 210 Surat, 4i a 5J —7G20. The import in ihe same lime amounts lo 9285- bags— Our present slock of Cotton amounts to 172,500 bags, viz. 72 500 American, 29,000 Egyptain, 44,300 East India, and 13,200 De merara, West India,&c. A year ago it amount ed lo 187,500 bags; viz. 68,500 American, 40 - 000 Brazil, 16,200 Egyptian,*s2.ooo East India , and 10 800 Demcrara, West India &c. Jax. 6.—The inquiry has continued very limi t-d to the close ol Thursday, and ihe few sales made were at a decline of 1-4 lo 3-4 d per lb. on American, |articuarly of the now crop, which has been olfered freely ;—there was, however a decided improvement in the demand yesterday, and the market closed with more lirmnccs. 1 > "Vs, zil, Lgypliali and East India are without materi al alteration. The sales amount to 7520 bales. 30 Sea Island 11 to 30d; 10 Stained do Gd to 12d; 4360 Unwed Georgian 6} to 8J; 540 Mo bile and Alabama bj 6J to 8J 8d; 880 New Orleans 6J to 9d; 180 Pernambueo and Parai bn 9$ to IDJd, 560 Maranharn and Sawginned 0 7;f lo 10 270 Uahia and Mac. to 9Jd; Dcrnarara 9to 12L1; 380 Egyptian 8 } to 13d; Uarbadors 8 to Bjd; Peruvian 8j to 9d; 90 La gunyraGi toBAd. / Jan.
