Mir. Conwa, and myself never had personal alter cation. All that ever passed between Us was published in the Arkansas Ea- zette, underour own signatures.

Pope. h this elsarge''el1as made paipable biun. der, and ] fancy his uncle 1Gov. Pope} gave him no instructions nsupon thathead. Mir. Pope's first duel in this Territor, was with Doct. Cooke, {then poIiticalr opposed to me, and grew out of a put lication signed ssJusfsce," in whichDoc. Cooke was violently assailed by name.

Pope was publicly charged with having written sJusiice,' and permit. ting his nephew 10 assume the rcspon- sibility, although by so doing he ncg. itably incurred what followed. haze heard Judge Sam. C. Roane say, that he kneap the Governor was the author. Mir. Roane is and has been opposed 10 me. The last conflict occurred with young Mir. Noland, of Virginia, md at the time tle difficulty occurred, Mr. Noiand and myself scarcely spoke. lie visited this place during my absence ln Louisiana, and inserted in one ot tie papers caustic squib at the Governor l it led to a misunderstanding with Ma. jor Pope. Shortly after my return, saw handbill, signed by Major Pope l in which MT. Noland was treated with greatscverity. Noland responded, and two or three publications took place De. tween them in rapid succession, and i. seemed obvious they would fight. spoke to Major Field, the relative oi Majorpope, and suggested, as theohy means of preventing a conflict, tna' three or four gentlemen should inter- pose and address them duplicate nolc' rendering their mediation; that II the young gentiemencould beindncedtosaoo nit their mutual prievnnccs tn them,
