VIM. Gilchris', one of the four persons who
made the attack upon Dr.. Armstrong, has pub
lished an address in The Nashville papers, to ex.
tenua'e their conduct in that bloody business.
Their statement Of what occurred on the ground
does no, conflict very much with the account
given by Dr.. Armstrong. GiIchrist's princi.
pal object is to show that the affair, on his part
was not political; but induce by paragraph :,
which Dr. Armstrong had written, but had con.
cluded not to publish, and which the GilJhrs,s
obtained possession Of sarreptitiously. The para
graph alluded 10 the father Of the GiIchris,s as
having been tory in the revolutionary war
The Doctor, finding that the proof was not at
ham, .hough he believed the fact, suppressed
the paragraph. by sealing a paper over it, before
he sent the piece containing it to the printer
The Gilchrists got hold Of the manuscript.
through the improper conduct of the printer.
