the mode OF conveyance was failure.
lie Immediately concluded to cross the
river and 60 OIL foot to Elkton, and then
procure carriage and get on the ground
instantly, while was to take the cars in
the morning at o'clock and repair with
all haste TO the place appolnted-the OBJ
ject OF Mr.. Dawes, and Rochester, in 60
ing foot was to be on the ground as soon
as the adverse party and insist on their
wa'lng till should come up,-but in
consequence of the bad state of the roads,
and darkness Of the night, Mr.. Dawes
and Rochester arrived in Elkton only
few minutes before myself. On my arr-
val at Elkton, was informed by Mr.. Ro-
chester that the second of Mr.. Patterson
was at Foard's Hotel, to which place re-
paired to explain to Mr.. Thomas the
cause of our delay; but the fact of their be-
ing on the ground at the precise time and
the duty which he owed MIR. Patterson as
his second would admit of no explana-
ton on the part of Mr.. Thomas. This
state OF things was at once made known
to Ar, Dawes; OH which he requested to
state 10 Dr. Treadwell the particulars,
which was done, but all to no purpose.
As last resort to obtain that satisfaction
which one gentleman never withholds
from another, Mr. Dawes sent verbal
challenge through DR.. Treadwcll, stating
that he would hold himself in readiness
till 10 O'Clock of said day at Foards IIo-
tel, to await their decision. TO this de-
liance no attention has been paid.
In making the above statement, the
subscriber is impelled alone by desire to
see justice done to one who has left moth
ing undone TO get that satisfaction which
as man ofhonour and gentleman he Is
entitled too. SAMUEL HARRIS.

ACTIoN or RErLEyIN.--A case was tried yes
to-day before Justice Williams, under the fol
lowing circumstances. Some two weeks since
John Conner, the individual lately arrested in
Philadelphia for horse stealing, stopped in Elk
ton Cecil county, Md, and there traded Il horse
which he had; with Mr.. Henry Bennett of that
place, for grey marc. This animal he brought
10 Baltimore arriving here on Friday, and on
Saturday morning exposed her to sale in the
horse market She was sold under the hammer
and Mr.. Jos. Taylor, of Baltimore County, be-
came the purchaser for the sum Of Sl5.25, and
took her home, where he kept her fora week,
and finding that she did not suit him, he brought
her to town on Saturday for the purpose ofagain
disposinG Of her; and with this view placed her
in the stable Of Mr. Satlcricld, near the hose
market. In the meantime a gentleman from
Eorris.own Pa. reached Elkton in pursuit Of
horse that had been stolen from him. and which
he had traced to that place. The horse which
Mr. Bennett had obtained from Connor proved to
be his, was claimed, and delivered to him. Fir.
b. then started down here to look to the recovery,
ifpossiblc of his marc.
As soon as he arrived he went to the Mercer
street Police Office and advertised those lynx
eyed officers, Hays Zcl, and Ridgcly ofthc state
ofaflairs. They Immediately set about an nvcsi-
CATION, and on tile morning when Mr.. Taylor
placed her in Sateriicld's stable, she was attached
by cold Hays as stolen property, and strict
charges given to Mr. $ not to let any one have
her: When Mr.. Taylor went 70 get her she was
of course, refused to him. and the reason stated.
lie Immediately sued out Il writ of roplevn, di-
rectcd against Sattcrlicld; and, upon the trial
yesterday, the facts Of the exchange, the public
sale and the purchase by MIR. Taylor under it,
being clearly proven, judgment was rendered for
The plaintiff for the restoration ofthe animal, and
one cent damages and costs. They were paid
iy MIR. Bennett, who assumed the place Of Mr..
Satteriicld as the defendant. Subsequently, in
consideration of the loss Mr.. b. had sustained by
the rogucry OF Conner, MIR. Taylor yielded the
mare 10 him upon the payment back to him OF
$40; and the matter thus terminated more AMIGA
bly, than law suits generally do

wet and muddy-hindering many persons
from the country from coming into town,
