To JOSEPH a. MABRT, ESQ;
Dear Mr.. MaJry Il perceive that Fleming's
published account of the little affair the other day,
is full Of falsehoods. For example, he says l was
armed when first attacked him. You know that l
was unarmed except with an ornamental cane, which
instantly broke But the srrangest falsehood is that
in his subsequent speech to me upon the street. he
suggested "an open and honorable encounter
This is the first time have heard Tor you either Of
such a suggestion from him. You are aware that it
was precisely to give him the opportunity of exact
ing such satisfaction that walked down the street.
with YOU where, as l understood he awaited me for
that purpose-that l expressed such intention to
him, and when he reproached me with having at
tackled him "unPrepared,' demanded whether he
was prepared there and then-ezpressed my dispo-
stion give him any of satisfaction he desired
Asked him whether he was there only to talk, and
finally informed him that talk from a whipped man
was of no avail All this he very naturally suppress
ses But my object in this note is not to get you to
contradict anything Of his statement; as presume
from the very nature of it, nobody will believe it
And besides I despise newspaper alteration. My
object is to requst you to call upon Fleming and to
tell him that neither you nor | heard anything of
his attention to ''open and honorable encounter
that am still willing Notwithstanding his false
hoods and abuse to afford him that satisfaction if
he has the spirit to seek it-bu not the streets of
Knoxville, surrounded by an armed mob. You can
suggest to him that Georgia is not far off.
All this leave to you. If you agree with me
that this course s admissible under the circumsfan
ces, you will do it for me- If you think otherwise,
I shall be entirely guarded by you, as feel that
am perfectly safe in your hands.
Faithfully Yours,
JOHN mitchell

JOHN MITCHEL, Esq,


Ny Dear ST:-By my note to you of this morn
Ing advised you that you should notice Fleming no
farther; since that writing, it occurred to me,
and deem it my duty to advise you of the fact,)
that it would be liberal concession to him, that
should, upon my own responsibility, approach him
upon the subject. Ibid So and called his attention
to the expression which he represents himself as
having used to you. said to him that neither you
nor myself had heard him use any language what
ever importing desire or willingness to meet YOU
in an equal and honorable encounter" and fur-
thermore, that i, as your friend, entertained no
doubt, whatever, that if he desired it. lnotwitb
standing what had occurred, you would still meet
him in any manner and at any place he might in
dictate, and thus concede to him an opportunity to
obtain such satisfaction as an equal and honOra-
BILE encounter" might afford HIM He declined
compliance with the suggesor, ny saying he was
satisfied So the conclusion / cz pressed in my note
this morning now recurs with greater force.
Very respectfully,
JOS. A. MABRY,

A BLACK REPUBLICAN STATE.--The State of Yer
mont exhibits sad evidence OfreligiOus indifference
The annual report the General Convention in that
State discloses the following fact published in the
Congregational (N.H) Journal:
{" More than 1000 families in Vermont habitual-
ly neglect all public worship, only about one-fth of
the people in the average attend upon evangelical
worship, and four fths of the inhabitants on each
returning Lords day, absent from the sanctua-
ry. What do these things mean? Making all due
allowance for the necessary absence of those who,
in the Providence OF God, cannot be present. there
ought to be at least three fhs instead of one-ffth
of the people at public worship. Where, then, are
the souls that ought be in the house of God
every Sabbath What are their thoughts and deeds
on Gods holy day?
Upon this state of things the New York journal
of Commerce remarks
Vermont, in proportion to its population, is, i
we mistake not, the most thoroughly Black Repub
lican of any State in the Union. ''0nly about one
fifth of the people in the average attend upon
| geical worship on the Sabbath AbolitiOnism il
| rampant"
