DECATUR AND BARRoN.-The Richmond Whig
explaining previous article in relation to the late
Commodore Barron, makes known the following
particulars Of what took place between that officer
and the lamented Decatur, after the unfortunate
duel between them
ssIt might have been inferred, from what we said
in reference 10 the duel between Decatur and him
self. that the difficulty originated from charge of
cowardice made by the former upon his conduct on
that occasion. This not so.' Shortly after the
verdict Of the court, which suspended him for five
years, Commodore Barron went abroad and did not
return to this country until pome time after the
close of the of 1874 II was in reference to this
that Decatur used those disparaging remarks which
led TO the unfortunate duel between them. After
the exchange of shots, and whom both wero wound
ed-mortalIy az was then supposed-they were
brought together by their friends, and mutual OK
plantations took place. Decatur asked him why he
did not return from Copenhagen when the war
broke out and take part in the struggle in which
his country was engaged. Commodore barron
replied that no was really 80 poor that he had not
the means to pay his passage home The gallant
and generous Decatur then said, why did you not
tell me of this before-no difference could have
occurred between US. II is melancholy to reflect
that INTERPRETATION Of such character should
have caused the loss to his country Of one Of her
noblest defenders"
