CAPTAIN INGRAHAM-SJme of the versions Of
the Kossta affair at Smyrna, with mistaken view
to elevate Capt. INGRAHAMs character for spirit,
represented him forgetting the gentlemanly cour-
tesy belonging to an officer of the American navy
We did not at the time credit the expressions att
tributed to Capt. INGRAHAM, but it would have
been worse than useless then to suggest doubt of
their correctness We now find, and are proud to
find, them contradicted on authority no less than
that of Capt. /. himself The Charleston Mercury
contains the following notice of the matter:
In our notice of the Koszta affair." some weeks since
took occasion to express doubts to the correct
ness of the report arbung certain expressions Capt
INdRAuAM which, from our knowledge of that gentleman
we felt very sure he incapable Of using We have
just letter from Captain Ingraham in which he
presses his surprise and regret that such ungenemany
language should have been attributed to him. He says
that the whole intercourse of Capt SCHWARTZ of the HUI
gar and himself of the courteous and gentle
manly character and unpleasant word passed between
them Subsequent to the affair." the 4th Of July, the
Austrian officer saluted the flag of Capt. GRAnAM, who
returned his salute and went board the Huzzar and
returned thanks for the courtesy. Capt SCHWARTZ
turned the visit and there unknd word feeling
exhibited during their entire intercourse Each thought
he had done his duty and gave the other credit for acting
on patriotic motives The only remarks about the denial
of Kozta being board the house of the Consul
General of Austria After his refusal to say any thing
upon the subject Capt. ISGRAHAM asked him directly if
Koszta was board when he admitted that he was
Capt INGRAHAM then remarked: 1t is very strange
Mr. Consul that the officer board should have denied
his being there In short Captain ISGRAHAMs conduct
throughout the whole affair courteous it
