The Lynchburg Virginian contains series
of notes which recently passed between MIR.
Charles Irving, of the Lynchburg Republican,
and Mr.. Philip S. White, the temperance lectu.
rer, Mr.. w. P. McCorkle as the friend of Mr..
Irving; the difficulty arose from rumors that
Mr.. w. had so reflected on Mr.. Is course in
regard to the temperance question as to injure
his character as gentleman. An explanation
was solicited. Mr.. White replied that he ex.
pressed in his speech his disgust for the oppo
silion Of drunken editors to the temperance
reform. Said he
"My remarks were intended to apply to that
class of the community. If yon or Mr.. -
take upon yourselves to appropriate the allu.
sion, which was general, to YOURSELF it is your
matter. not mine"
Mr.. McCorkle then informed Mr.. White that
he could not say what course Mr.. Irving would
pursue, but suggested that Mr.. w. be prepared
to meet him at any moment. Mr.. Irving sub.
sequently addressed Mr.. White, inviting the
designation Of some place, outside the limits OF
the State, where q more definite communica-
tion could be delivered. To this Mr.. White
replied that he was under engagements until

Mr.. Irving Oil the 18th of June at the U. S.
Hotel, Philadelphia! J. Mr.. living considered
this reply in effect rejection of his request,
and again repeated the demand, stating that he
expected definite reply. This last note OF
MIR. Irving's is dated April 20. Following it is
card, bearing the same date, addressed 10 the
people Of Amherst, and signed by Mr. Irving.
This card, which was posted at one Of the ho'
tells in Amherst, after copy Of it had been
delivered to Mr.. White, announces Mr.. Irving's
intention to publish the correspondence, in or.
der, as it is stated, to prove Mr.. White Gas
great coward as he is liar and sanderer."
Thus the matter remained at last accounts.

The Norfolk Argus states that about 80 bbls.

The Norfolk Argus states that about 80 bbs.
of fish of various kinds are daily shipped from
Norfolk TO Baltimore by one dealer alone
Another, ships on an average 20 bbls. of hard
crabs. Later in the season, the quantity will
be much larger, so bbls. of eggs, sometimes
a hundred,) are sent twice week to New
York by the regular steam packet. One man
ships 5000 to 5000 punches of radishes daily
to Baltimore. A dealer has sent hence to the
New York market, within the last three weeks,
900 bbls. Of sweet potatoes; and his clear
profit is about one dollar on each barrel
Quite large business is also done in dried
apples and peanuts. Three hundred bushels
of the latter article are weekly shipped to New
York, one person, who, within the last four or
five months has also shipped upwards of 10000
bushels of dried apples.

THE WHITE AND IRVING D1FFIcULTY.-A

THE WHITE AND IRVING D1Fr1cuLrY.-A
long reply to the statements of Mr.. Charles IT.
wing has been published in the ScottsvIle Ga
zette by Philip S. White. The circumstances
detailed do not differ materially from those Civ.
on by Mr.. Irving, except that Mr.. White main.
tans that he acted in good faith, in his selection
of the time and place of meeting, that the
same course had been pursued on more occa-
sions than one, and was in accordance with
the code of honor In conclusion, Mr.. White
accuses Mr. Irving with backing out under a
himsy and miserable pretence," charges him
with want of courage, and applies to him
epithets which it is unnecessary to copy. The
affair now wears a very serious aspect.

CouN7ERFE1r NorE.-We were shown yes
terday counterfeit Ten Dollar note on the
Bank of Charleston, which had been passed to
a slorckeeper of this city. A comparison with
a genuine note would enable eany one to detect
the counterfeit. The central figure in the
genuine represents female taking from an iron
chest with bags of spe.ie near her. In the
counterfeit it is Ceres surrounded by Agricul-
tural embIems, and the head of the figure OBJ
literates the "a" in " Charleston" at the top
OF the note. In the genuine note there are
two small medalions on the left with the fig.
ures "lo;" in the counterfeit it occupies the
entire width of the note, with "Ten" in large
letters, and a large and dark looking medallion.
near it representing Mars. The signatures OF
"a. G. Rose, Cashier" and "Heury w. Con.
ner, President" are well executed, but seem to
have been stamped by steel die. The person
who passed the note appeared to be foreign.

Music AT HoME.-Music serves to make a
home pleasant, by engaging many Of its in.
mates in delightful recreation, and thus dis
peling the sourucss and gloom which frequent
~ arise from petty dispute, from mortified van
ity, from discomfort and envy. 1t prevents,
for the time at least, evil thoughts and evil
speaking, and tends to relieve the minds Of
bath performers and hearers from the depres'
'si.,g effects IF care and melancholy. Young
people need and will have amusements. lfan
innocent ard improving kind be not provided
at home, they will seek some kind elsewhere
If they fnd places more agreeable than their
hotues, those home will be deserted; and thus
the gentle and holy influences which oug ht to
encircIe the family fireside will be, in great
measure lost.
"For surely melody from Heaven was sent
To cheer the heart, when tired with human strife
To soothe the wayward heart, by sorrow rent,
And soften down the rugged road ollie"
Let parents, therefore, take pains to encour'
age and crafty taste for music in their chill
dren and it will amply repay them for so doing.

DEATH FROM RopE JUMPINc.-A bright and
interesting little girl about 8 years of age, died
on Monday of last week in the village OF New

exertions in "jumping the rope" She was
competing with several CT her school comPan'
ions in this exercise, who were endeavorlng 10
out d. each other in endurance. She jumped
four hundred times in succession, and until en-
tirely overcome by the long continued exer,
tiun. The child was taken up insensible, but
the movement fthe muscles of the limbs, as
in jumping, continued without cessation forty
eight hours, until the sufferer was released from
painful exercise by death.

Cuban Transnctions.

There is rumor in Washington that the
President, in his message to Congress, may
ask for power to blockade Cuba and Porto
Rico.
The Herald makes the following enumera.
tion of few, and but few, of the outrages
which have been perpetrated by the authorities
Of Cuba upon American citizens and American
property within the last four years
On the 22d of January, 1850, Charles Pc
ter V. Esnard, an American citizen, was ar
rested by the Cuban authorities, and incarcer.
ated in the prison of Havana; no charge hav!
ing ever been advanced against him. In May
of the same year, two American vessels, the
Georgiana and the Susan Loud, were captured
at Contoy by the Spanish General of Marines
and brought as prizes into the port of Havana;
their crews were imprisoned On the 25th OF
March, 1851, John Silinero, an American citI'
zen, was arrested by the Spanish authoritiesj
no accusation being made against him. On
the 10th of August, 1851, the United States
steamer Falcon was fred into and boarded by
Spanish man of war without any excuse or
pretext. On, the 18th Of February, 1852, the
American schooner Lamartine was fired into
by Spanish vessel, also without assignable
motive or pretext. On the Sd of October,
1852, the Crescent City was driven from Has
vana, and prohibited from landing her mails OH
the childish and frivolous pretext that the pur.
ser spoke and wrote ill of the Cuban authori.
ties on his visits to New York.
In the March following, the Ohio was detaln'
ed three days at Havana, under an unprece.
dented and ridiculous plea that she ought to
perform quarantine. On the 18th of that month
the schooner Manchester was boarded by
Spanish vessel of war, searched, and detained
twenty -four hours, without the shadow. of any
pretext whatever. In February, 1850, .and
subsequently,, the United States mall bags
were broken open by the Cuban authorities,
many of the seals broken, and the privacy OF
American correspondence violated. On 5th
May, of the same year, three American sea.
men belonging to the American bark Jasper,
were arrested, on vague suspicious Of being
concerned in the slave trade, thrust into prison,
aud subjected to inconceivable indignities and
cruelties. In November, Pedro Raices, q nat.
uralized citizen of the United States, was ar.
rested at Havana, no crime being charged
against him; was tried and sentenced to q
years transportation. Shortly afterwards an
other naturaiized citizen of the United States,
Isidore Richoux, was forced to leave the Isl.
and of Cuba, no motive being assigned for his
expulsion. The notorious case of the Black
Warrior completes an imperfect catalogue Of
the affronts We have suffered at the hands OF
Spain during the last four years.
