From Our oua Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June IL, 1853.
Messrs. Seward, Cnttenden aud Davis succeeded
last night after much discussion in settling the Gwin
and Wison difficulty They first drew up note
directed to Mr.. Gwn, which Mr. Wilson signed at
their request the purpo,t of which was, that having
received from Mr.. Gwn a challenge for words
spok ken in debate and having refused to accep. the
challenge for reasons alleged 10 his answer, though |
standing to the fullest extent on the right OF self
defense, be vas yet willing 10 refer the matter OF
quarrel to Messrs. Crittenden, Seward and Davis,
aud to abide by their decision. To this proposition
Mr.. Gwin assented.
After full consideration of the affair, the following
docume Mt was submitted to the contending Senators
and received their signatures:
wAsHISGToN, Saturday June II. 1888.
CFNTLTNEN: We have made ourselves acquainted !
with the circumstances and facts involved IN the case
submitted to US. The remarks OF MIR. Gwin, impatpg |
unworthy motives, viz, those of demsgogusm, to Mr.
Wilson although general certainly were opDectonaoe
and and yet they by no means justi-
fed or warranted Mr.. wilson in uslns the very oppr0-
brous epithet with which he retsisted- Mr. Owns
eionder in contumelCus terms In bs srded ~
passionate expression, naturally provoked by the Of
fensive language of Mr. Wilson. We think, therefore,
that Mr.. Wilson ought TO regsrd himself In fact as
having conn it'ed the first real personal otense ard
that therefore he should make such reparatiJn Is
now in his power.
We are possessed of the fact which, indeed is sp-
parsn en- the face of tie reported debate, that Mr.
Wilscp, ia using the epthet employed, did not mpute
any want Of personal integrity honor tn MIR. win,
but merely effected upon his course ID legislation IN
regard TO California, which Mr.. Wilson deemed ex-
usvsgsnt and wastefu although the expression Is
obviously liable to offensive and dlshonoring con-
structon
With this disclaimer adopted by Mr.. Wilson, we
hold that Mr.. Gwn is bound to withdraw the re-
proaohful language in which he rep ed TO Mr. Wilson,
The dsayowal required of Mr.. Wilson and the with
drawa demanded from Mr.. Gwin shall be deemed to !
have been made by them respectively wher they snail
have expressed IN lHeT assem- 10

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
This adjustment is considered satisfactory and
honorable TO both parties both of whom are said to
have expressed regret for their use of harsh Ian
guspe and to have manifested readiness to do each
other justice.
From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June II, 1859.
The affair between Dr. Gwin and Gen. Wilson
has necessarily excited much comment in political
circles here and will doubtless call down animal
version elsewhere, from those who are disposed to
turn such incidents to party account. AS was
not spectator to the scene, shall not pretend to
describe it, because the simplest facts in such case
may be easily exaggerated by partial or perverse
colcriDg. The language of DR.. Gwin which pro-
yoked the offensive reoinder was un-Senatoria, but
il was rather political than personal. 1t is said,
however, that his manner conveyed even greater
