| Gen. Duff Green and L. We6b.--A few DAYS apo
we entertained readers with Duf's notices of 1t
James Watson Webb, Editor ofthe Courier and En-
qurer. We cannot in impartiality, do less than re-
publish the Lieutenants rejonder On this occasion
we feel inclined to yield implicit credit to each gem
tleman's account Of the other.
From the New York Courier and Enquirer, April
| " The United States Telegraph The editor of
the Telegraph devotes three columns and half of
that paper of "Wednesday, to scurrlous attack upon
the senior editor Of the Courier & Enquirer, in which
he has completely abandoned all pretensons even
common decency. and giving way to the innate base
ness OF his heart the low, groveng associations of
his early life and the unprncped and dishonorable
motives of action which have marked his ripper years
he boldly and unblushingly publishes the most pal
Pable and contemplate falsehoods.
To enter into refutation of all the charges which
the Telegraph brings against us, would be to admit
the possibility of their truth. We will refer to two
only, to show the character of the Others and the
abandoned and disreputablc feeling which prompts
Gen. Jackson to the Presidency, and the second that
we were dttoes from The army an disgrace.H That
the first is false every body knows and the second is
only calculated to sink the Telegraph into the obiv
ion TO which it is fastening. What paper in the
Union can, with confidence, quote even its grayest
articles-such appear TO be official, when it is
known that under the eye, as 1t Were OF the War De-
partment, change is made which every document
in its archives relating the subject will pronounce
BASE FABRIcATIoN??
Our readers will pardon warmth this subject,
when they reflect that from the of sixteen until
We became connected with the Press we followed
the profession of Arms and hold the reputation thus
acquired most valuable to us;-they cannot but cx-
cuse when they think of the tender point which
we assaied-thc source from which we are
saulted-and the good and sufficient reason which
the Spaniel of the Telegraph has given us for nfic
ting upon him. when opportunity offers, severe, but

Our is the spot, where, if true, he find
documents in support of his charge. We defy him
,-and give all, and every reference he ask, willing
to risk our reputation upon any single one, whether
friend foe If under these circumstances he does
not sustain himself all will agree with us, that upon
the first convenient occasion have right to inct
upon him epunshment richly deserves So much
for this part of the personal attack the alsehood OF
which renders IL unnecessary to notice other portions
of it.
/
1t will thus be perceived that it is unnecessary fol
to draw upon the columns Of our political adverse
res to exhibit the editor of the Telegraph in his
coors. His columns offer mine for this pur
pose, which cannot be exhausted. He embarked il
personal quarrel to avoid giving to the public the
information to which they entitled, and when
called upon him to out for General Jackson, ht
| refused to do so.
! Gen. Green has promptly responded. In the TIE
legraph ofTuesday, is the following rather pointe'
and contemptuous answer to the Lieutenant We
hope these military gentlemen will keep the peace:
I The New York Courier asserts, that we clarget
that its senior editor opposed the election of Genera
| Jackson. We referred to the regular nominated
candidate The party, whose organ the Courier now
aspires to be--that candidate was Major Noah. The
senior editor says, that have touched him in
der point, when refer to his military career, and
denies that he driven from the Army in disgrace
He does not deny that he preferred twenty seven
false charges against his bc.efactor. We did not
say that he dismissed the Standardization is
