Capt. Ingraham,

In our notice Of the Kosta affair, some weeks
since, we took occasion to express our doubts as
to the correctness of the report attributing certain
expressions to Capt. INGRAHAM, which, from our
knowledge of that gentleman. we felt very
he was incapable of using. We have just seen
letter from Capt. INGRAHAM, in which he express
es his surprise and regret that such ''ungeneman-
ly language" should have been attributed to him.
He says that the whole intercourse of Captain
SCHWARTZ, of the Huzzar, and himself was of
the most courteous and gentlemanly character,
and no unpleasant word passed between them
Subsequent to the affair, on the 4th of July, the
Austrian officer saluted the flag of Capt. 1NGRA-
HAM, who returned his salute, and went on board
the Huzzar, and returned thanks for the courtesy.
Capt. SCHWARTZ returned the VISIT and there was
no unklnd word or 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 KosTA being on board was at the house
of the Consul General of Austria After his re-
fusal to say any thing upon the subject Capt. Is
GRAHAM asked him directly if KosTA was not on
board, when he admitted that he was. Capt. IL
GRAHAM then remarked: cit is very strange, Mr..
Consul, that the officer on board should have de-
MED his being there" In short, Capt. 4NGRA-
HAMS conduct throughout the whole affair, was
as courteous as it was heroic.-AercuTy.

"There has been, as our readers know, a most
dsreputable backholding the part of some of the
hostile cliques of the democratic party, which pro-
fessed to bury all their differences deep and foreE

form. Amidst so extensive and dscredtable de-
lection, we are glad, for the honor of democracy,
to be able to record an instance of good faith
amongst the chiefs in that political league, and on
the part of one who certainly surrendered as large
slice of individual opinion any other gentle

now, when many ofhis peers who so lately swore

This all proper enough We shall not quarrel with the Col

appearance OF list oaowances for mileage u s. Senator
I849 and 1851 We had determined to say nothing
bout Gov Fooe and propose only show from the rec
ord point of importance to the people
Gov Foote's residence is Jackson-Co Davis few miles
below Vicksbug and the difference in distance Washington
by the usually travelled mail would be covered by thirty
miles Senators entitled much pay for mileage going
and returning from Washington As 30 miles would cover
the difference in distance between Col Davis and Foote's rav
