A Question of Veracity.
In the Chroncile Sr Sentinel of the 6th inst., I
tind a communication over the signature ofWm.
$. Jones, from which I quote the following ver-
Mcm of what passed between Dr. Jones and my
„,]f on the occasion referred to:
As the readers of the Chronicle & Sentinel are
well aware, there has appeared in it, a series of
articles under the signature of “ Doctor, - ’ marked
with unusual ability, the last of which was pub
lished on Friday, the 29th of August last, which
i ailed forth the following note:
Augusta, August 29th, 1831.
Dr. Wm. S. Jones— Sir :—I demand you the
name of the author of the article “ Doctor'’
which appeared in the Chronicle & Sentinel of
this date, in order to demand of him personal
satisfaction.
Respectfully, your ob"t. serv t.,
James M. Smythe.
This note was brought into the office by Mr.
lames Gardner, Jr. When he presented it, I
inquired who it was from ? He replied Mr.
Smythe. Presuming it was a call for the author of
' Doctor,” I received and immediately replied to
it. giving the name of the author. Haying fold
ed and addressed my reply, I handed it to Mr.
Gardner, who immediately rose from his seat, as
I supposed to retire, when he drew from a side
jioeket what appeared to be a letter, and present
ed it, saying, “ Here is another.” I inquired
from whom ‘ He replied, “The same gentle
man," and as I received it, I understood him to
remark, “ You can reply to it at your leisure,”
and immediately teal Iced out of the room.
1 opened and proceeded to read the following
note:
Augusta, August 29th, 1851.
Dr. Wm. S. Jones:
Sir :—Considering the article signed “ Doctor, - ’
which appeared in the Chronicle Sr Sentinel of this
morning, of such a character as to make you, as
the publisher of that paiier, a party to the out
rage, I demand of you that satisfaction, for in
citing it in your columns, which is due from
one gentleman to another.
This will be handed you by my friend, James
Gardner, Jr., Esq.
Respectfully your ob’t. serv’t.
James M. Smythe.
As soon as I discovered the nature of the con
tents, I rose from my seat to call Mr. Gardner to
return it toliim, hut he had passed out at the front
door of the office , a distance of near sixty feet. I
started with the determination of following him
into the street, but after proceeding a few steps,
returned to my seat, thinking it of no conse
quence.
It is proper to remark, that if I hail even sus
pected the character of the communication, I
should not have received it.
This statement is, in at least one essential par
ticular, false.
I repeat the statement made in my note of
the Ith inst., already published, to Mr. Smythe.
“The second (note) he received and read in my
presence. While reading it, I said to him, 'it will be
liiojHrfor you to answer tluit through ytnir friend.' ’>
These are literally the words I used. They were
deliberately|usod, and distinctly borne in mind.—
I anticipated that quite probably a statement of
what transpired might become necessary. 1
therefore took special pains to remember exactly
word lor word, what I said. The words were
spoken while Dr. Jones sat with the note open
in his hand, and his eyes fixed upon it. The |
note was so very sliort that a single glance must ;
have been sufficient for Dr. Jones to have instant- 1
ly " discovered the nature of its contents,” unless :
he was stupified by some strong emotion.
1 turned away deliberately and slowly, and left j
Ins office and walked slowly to my own. I did so ,
pur/tosdy to give him an opportunity to speak to me !
if he desired to do so. He did not avail himself j
of the opportunity.
The statement of Dr. Jones is stamped on its '
face with falsehood. It is impossible that I
could have piassed out of the front door of his of- ;
fee. a distance of near sixty feet, before Dr. Jones
could have discovered the nature of the contents
of so short a note, unless, as I have above sug
gested, he was stupified by some strong emotion.
In the spirit of charity I am willing that he
should be shielded from the imputation of deliber
ate falsehood, under the supposition that he was
so bewildered by his situation that for some
minutes, he did not clearly comprehend anything.
JAMES GARDNER, Jr.
Dr. Wm. S. Jones.
| 3?, 1 copy the following from an article, over the
I signature of Dr. Wm. S. Jones, which appeared
I in the Chronicle & Sentinel of yesterday morn
s
“The public will, I trust, pardon my calling
their attention to a matter purely personal,
which is rendered necessary by the pitiful at
tack made upon me, through the columns of
the Constitutionalist, of yesterday, by James M.
Smythe. Had the circulation of that paper been
confined to the circle where we are both known,
the article and author should have met with the
contempt so richly merited. As it will, howev
er, be seen and read where neither of us are per
sonally known, it becomes necessary that I
should notice it to correct some misstatements of
facts connected therein.”
The plain meaning of this is, that, in Dr.
Jones’ opinion, he is a man of higher character
and position than I am. Dr. J. can think of
»iimself as he pleases. I shall not imitate his in-
Tdelicate example, so far as to praise myself social
s ly, morally or intellectually, but I cannot refrain
from the expression of my contempt for his
opinion. I never draw comparisons between
myself and other men in any way, much less in
a public journal. I never knew a gentleman to
do it. I copy further from Dr. J.’s article as fol
lows :
"For I did not imagine even that Mr. Smythe
who professes to be so very anxious to obtain
personal satisfaction, would have made such a
call on me, whose opinions on the subject of duel
ling he so well knew, one too, who he asserts is “a
member of a respectable Church f especially after
he had obtained the name of the author a reputa
ble gentleman, whom he knew to be neither the.
member of a Church or opposed to a resort the
code duello. If the author of Doctor had proved
not to have been a responsible and reputable
man. he might have had some excuse for a call
on me.”
Dr. Jones has no right to say, or know, what
1 should have done in reference to the author of
“ Doctor.” I presumed that Dr. Jones would be
disinclined to fight a duel, but I was not aware
of his sentiments on the subject of duelling, from
personal intercourse, or the newspapers, or any of
the numerous books which have been published
since or before my acquaintance with him. The
man who would do another as great a wrong, as
Dr. Jones did me, by publishing the false and
malicious articles of “ Doctor,” might be pre
sumed to be removed far enough from sanctifi
cation to fight a duel. But Dr. Jones was only
called upon for satisfaction.
The expression of his regret at publishing the
articles, with a declaration, at the same time, of
his disbelief in the charges made against me
would have relieved him. He has neither the
magnanimity nor the Christianity to do me that
justice, for he coolly refers to the articles of
“Doctor,” and says they were “marked with
unusual ability. “He expresses no regret, takes
nothing back, praises the articles of “ Doctor,’’
and plainly insinuates that he is a man of higher
social position than I km.”
I might comment with great severity upon
portions of Dr. Jones's article, but I forbear, as I
placed him, in my article of the sth, where he
properly belongs, and t have no feelings towards
him, now* but those of pity mingled with con
tempt. JAMES M. SMYTHE.

executed by garrote on the I st instant.
After the battle with Gen. Enna, Gen Lopez's
force were reduced to tlte last extremity, his am

ing’sixty hours without food, the men prepared
to disband, and each one shift for himself.

happiness of the people of Cuba. He intimated
that he had been deceived. His dying words
were “ADIEU, DEAR CUBA !” Lopez had

COTTON. —The demand continues good, offer

at fuller prices.
CHARLESTON, Sept, 6.— Cotton. —The trans
actions since our report of the Ist inst., have been
very limited, as the aggregate amount sold docs
not exceed 320 hales. The little remaining on hand
is held at such high prices, as to deter buyers from
operating, and hence the stagnation. The few sales
made have been at unsettled prices, and present
quotations must therefore be considered nominal.
The sales were at extremes ranging from 6J up to
9c., as in quality. The receipts, since our last, em
brace 490 bales. The transactions in Long Cotton
have been confined to 50 bales, at prices within the
range of 20 a 30c.
Com < —The receipts of Corn since the date of our
last report, may he put down at 17,000 bushels.
This accession to the heavy supply received tho
previous week, has had an unfavorable influence
on prices, which have further declined. The first
arrivals were sold within the range of 60 a 65c., the
latter price for prime White, at which prices the
market may be said to have closed.
Bacon. —The market has been quiet since our
last. Former prices have been fully sustained.
Groceries. —We have no transactions to report in
the leading articles, and the market may be said to
have been in a state of complete stagnation. About
300 hhds. Sugar have been received this week,coast
wise. The trade is well supplied, and of course there
has been no demand, and consequently nothing has
been done beyond the sale of a small lot Porto Ri
co at 7j. Nothing has been done in cither Coffoo
or Molasses.
Freights. —There is very little freight offering to
any quarter. Wo quote to Liverpool, Cotton in
square bags, nominally at 5-16thsa jd. The coast
wise rates are altogether nominal.
