understanding having arisen between Mr..
w. B. Newton, of Hanover, and Mr.. Geo.
w. Lewis. of Westmoreland, growing out Of
a publication made by Mr.. Lewis, in the
Richmond Enquirer, on the 18th of August
last, over the signature OF Henry" IN reply
to one made by Mr.. Newton, signed "Fin-
dex," this statement is made in order to re-
remove the points of difference between those
two gentlemen. Mr.. Newton regarding the
article published in the Enquirer, signed
Henry" as personally offensive to himself,
felt it Incumbent upon him to make q de.
nand upon the editors of tina. journal for
the name of the author. Upon being iu-
formed of the authorship Of that produc-
ton, MIR. Newton has addressed MIR. Lewis,
to INQUIRE whether he intended to offer q
personal indignity by the publication In
question. Mr.. Lewis, in reply, has intlma.
ted to MIR. Newton his Willingness TO disavow
any such intention, upon MIR. NewtOn's re-
moving the impression existing upon bis
mind at the time the article was penned, 10
the effect, that Mr.. Newton intended to oter
hun a personal atfront. UnOp this sugges-
ton, MIR. Newton readily sfhrIns, that While
he regarded Mr. Lewis first publication as
in the highest degree unjust TO q gentleman,
whose reputation he claims the right upon all
occasions to protect, and intended, in his re-
ply, to administer as severe q rebuke to the
author Of Henry" whoever he might I've, rs
was consistent With the ~strictest rules OF gen
tlemanly discussion, it was not his Intention
to offer a personal indlgni;Y to MIR. Lewis;
wbereupon Mr.. Lewis has disc!ainrd to Mr.,
Newton any such intention, as MIR. Newtoh'a
construction of his language would seem to
imply. This statement, therefore, Is intend
cd as a mutual disayowal Of U~ffsnsi9e express
sions by either gentleman To the other.
