Mn. ARCHER AND Mr.. RIrCHIE.-There
have been some recent unpleasant occurrcn-
ces at Richmond. The Editor of the Rich
mond Wing, conccving that he had been
grievously injured by Mr.. Daniels, now or
late Lieut.. Governor of the Old Dominion,
very improperly took the law into his own
hands, and made personal assault upon Mr..
d. with cow-hide. More recently still, n
dispute has arisen between Mr.. William s.
Archer, distinguished momber Of Congress,
from Virginia, and Mr. Ritchie, the venerable
Editor of the Enquirer. Mr.. Archer having
with majority of the people of Virginia, re-
tired from the Jackson party, was violently
assailcd by the Richmond Enquirer. Mr..
Richie charged him with detection. beause
Of disappointment, in not receiving the En-
glish mission, which General Jackson prefer
red giving to Mr.. Speaker Stevenson. Mr..
Archer denied the mputation-admittcd that
his friends had used his name as candidate
for that embassay, but declared that he had
not sought it-and had abandoned the Pre-
sident, from prnciple--not being able to sus-
tain his usurpations. In one word, having
found Mr.. Rtchie's former prediction, that
the election of Jackson, would prove "a CURSE
TO THE COUNTRY" he had been compelled to
quit him. Mr.. Ritchic refused to make the
ame'de honorable to Mr.. Archer, but sought
rather to reiterate and confirm the Charge
Mr.. Archer then demanded satisfaction. Mr.
Ritchic returned his letter. Mr.. Archer sent
another, by the hands Of "a friend" which
looked rather gun n-po,cdcrish-Mr. Richie de-
Ilberately illuminated the MSS, by burning
it in his candle. Mr. Archer subsequently
met Mr. Richie, and assaulted him with q
cane. Mr.. Richie drew n pistol. which
wouldn't go of. The people then took DOS.
session of the pistol and the parties. Sub.
sequently Mr.. Ritchie's son, cspoused the
cause of his father, and assaulted Mr.. Archer
A recontre ensucd, which was again inter
rupted by the people acting in their sovereign
capacity. The next intelligence we had o
the parties, was contained in the following
paragraph, brief, but full OF meaning -
We feel authorized, from the publct,
which the affair has attained, to state ths
Mr.. Archer and young Mr.. Richie, attende,
by their respective friends, passed through
town, this week, on their way to the District
for the purpose of settling their differences
by duel. From what we have heard. w,
have not the slightest hope Of an accommo
dation Of the matter, and, as the police of the
District are too polite to interfere, we look up
OIL meeting, however, much to be deplored
as inevitable Fred. Arena.
Happily, however, the affair has assumed ,
more pacific aspect, as we learn by the south
ern mail Of this morning. II is stated that OF
the arrival Of the parties at Washington, Col
Totten iDterposed as a mediator, and that IN,
whole matter will be compromised upon hon
orable and satisiac tory basis, for both parties
We are glad that it is SO.

UNITED STATES BANK.

The President of the United States has
seen fit to publish in the Nashville (Tenn.)
newspapers, Correspondence between the
President of the Bank and the Secretary Of
the Treasury, in relation to the damages
claimed by that Institution on the Govern
ment Bill Of Exchange, which was drawn
upon France and afterwards returned pro-
tested. We should be glad, if our limits per-
mittod it, to publish the correspondence en-
tire, us well as the able Report of Commit
tee Of the House of Representatives, which
completely oxculpates the Bank from any
possible censure in claiming an indemnity
universally allowed in cases Of this nature.
1t appears from the correspondence now pub
lshed, that the Government having positive
ly refused to come to any settlement, on q
claim so equitable, in order to bring the sub.
ject to judicial investigation, the Bank has
determined to withhold such a portion Of the
Government dividends, as will be sufficient tc
test the question before the proper tribunals
This is the subject Of the present corrcspon-
dencc.

The Postmaster Of the city of Philadel phia,
has published an Address to the public, Of
some length, admitting the fact of the sale of
packages sent to his Office from Washington,
during the last session Of Congress, under the
frank of Col. Watmough, but denying any
criminal intention, or party purpose, on the
part Of himself or his clerks, thus disposng Of
packages which, it appears, the Post Office
does not consider as letters!
"It is important to bear in mind, (says the
Postmaster,) that ALL the public documents
torwa arded by various members to this office
during the session, with but few exceptions,
'(and these occurred during the first two
weeks after tho supply commenccd,) were not
sent or received as letters. Those under the
frank of Col. w. put away among the dead
matter, part only of which were sold by Mr..
Park, were not received as letters, so that no
letters could have been sold by him. lfthcy
had been stamped and receiped as letters, they
would SO have been treated, and instead OF
being cased until called for in the newspaper
alphabet, they would have been put into the
letter alphabet, and, at the expiration OF the
proper period, sent to Washington. The law
does not require the return ofany other than
dcad letters. This is for the purpose Of preserv-
ing any articles Of value that may be found
| III thcm."
This, (snys the National Intelligencer,) is
curious affair altogether, and the explanations
of the Post Master, although it extenuates
somewhat the enormity Of the offence, is by
no means satisfactory. We hope the admit
ted practices Of the Philadelphia Post Office
are not TO stand us the rule for the govern
mcnt Of Post Offices generally. What would
be thought of it, if the Post Master General
were to issue an order to his ten thousand
Deputies in these words: "You will consider
all letters or packages franked by members
Of Congress in the same light as old newspa-
pers, and, instead Of delivering them, may let
them accumulate in your Office, until the end
of the quarter, when they may be sold out by
weight for waste paper % Would not the
Post Master General, issuing such an order
be thought fit subject for straight jacket :
Yet such ar order would no more than cover
according to the Postmaster's own showing,
the case which has actually occurred at the
Philadelphia Office.

I"We understand that there is now in this

product of the flocks of the Island-and for
which no MARKET offering fair equivalent to
the holders, is at present accessible. This is
one Of the fruits of the Tory experiment on

the manufacturing enterprise, the woollen
