From Washington.

New YORK, April 2O-The 7riJUne's Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs that it is
stated that Ex-Governor Walker has sent a
challenge to Judge Black, and that the Judge
declines its acceptance. The affair originated
with the expressions made use of by Judge
Black, relative to the letter of the President.
He declares that if such letter was in ex-
istence, it was a forgery.
A caucus of the Republican Senators to-
day resulted in an agreement to support the
Nicaraguan treaty, with an amendment
guarding the use of troops by Congressional
legislation. The ratification of the treaty
may be considered fixed fact.
WASHINGTON, April 20-Evidence is to be
produced before the Covode Investigating
Committee, with a view to impeach the testi-
mony which led to the difficulty between
Judge Black and Governor Walker.
1t is said that the members of the Cabinet
are perfectly willing that Governor Walker
shall designate those to whom he referred as
in his opinion, shaping the affair of Kansas,
in 1857
The Committee on Elections are almost
unanimous in their report in favor of Daley
against Eastabrook as Delegate from Ne
braska.
The questions involved in the protest of
the Spanish Minister against the capture of
the Miramon steamers is as to their legal
Miramon previous to that occurrence.
The amount of money inthe Treasury sub

faced by a preamble which, however,

The ADVANTAGES OF NARCOTIC INFECTIONS
IN NEURALGIA.--The Medical Times and Ga
zette, referring to cases of neuralgia in which
the local treatment by narcotic injection into
the parts was employed, enumerates as fol-
lows -what appears to be the advantages of
that method; That much less constitutional
nervous-irritation attends the local intro
duction of the narcotic than when it is given
by the stomach, that the effect of the narcotic
is more Immediately produced that the action
of the narcotic appears more sure when in
iected--the exact amount taken into circula-
tion can be more readily seen, and the risk
of contamination or alteration which it is ex-
posed to, given by the stomach, is avoided
and it appears to exertmor benefit on the
local affection when it has to be absorbed
from the part affected, itself probably from
being brought more directly into contact
with the nerves involved in the disease. On
the other hand there are the disadvantages.
These are ehiehy--the pain occasioned by
the introduction of the fine canula; the
fluid escaping from the wound or puncture;
and the production of local inflammation, eff
fusion of blood, abscess. aai.al %lss ~ual

A SOUTHERN ROSE HYMENEALLY PLUcKED-
A beautiful young Southern belle, wearing
the appropriate name, Queen Rose, was, till
Tuesday afternoon, an inmate of fashionable
boarding-school in Philadelphia. A medical
student, one of those who did not sacrifice the
Quakers for the sake of the Union, and return
to his plantation, saw the rose and at once
made her his queen. She accepted his ho-
mage, in spite of the heartless common sense
of guardian, who thought of the house
rent, the butcher, and many other things, and
on Tuesday the twain were made one in the
bonds of marriage. The young lady was soon
missed; detective was dispatched by the un-
romantic guardian to search for her; he found
her, but was too late. The guardian then
took the youthful wife home, and gave the
husband into the care of the law, though
what the law can do except return him his
wife, can not be stated without some ac-
quaintance with the code of Pennsylvania.

THE FITNESS OF Pryor AND Potter FOR A
BowIE-KNIFE DUEL.-Those acquainted with
both Messrs. Potter and Pryor say it is mis-
take that in an encounter with Bowie-knives
Potter would have any marked advantage
over Pryor, on account Of his superior weight
Potter is about forty-three years old; Pryor
about thirty-two, Potter weighs about two
hundred; Pryor about one hundred and fifty
But Pryor is taller, and his arms good deal
longer than Potters. Length of arm and
vigor of muscle are, in contest with knives,
adyaatages which suEPSss ssnyhiRg growing
though more slender than Potter, possesses
one of these little forms, which, when in
proper condition, are always supposed to be
capable of extraordinary feats in hand-to-
hand contest with weapons like swords,
knives, &c. At all events, any difference
between the combatants, ofthe sort indicated,
are insufficient either to have induced Potter
to select the weapons proposed by his second,
or to warrant Pryor in whimpering about the
size and weight of his antagonist.
