MEMPHIS, Oct. Il, l SCI
Fl. C.. CHAMBERS, Eso.-Sr: Your note
of to day has been received, and mus
confess caused me no little surprise. Ii
your first note you stated that "you On at
tempted to take my your Ii fe with pistol
presenting it with the remark that you Il,
would blow my your head off, or words tC
that effect, and on the same occasion adj
dressed me (you) in terms of abuse and in
suit For all this (you demand an apol-
ogy-"
In reply took occasion, in my own JUS
LITIGATION, to state that the drawing of the
pistol was an act done on the excitement OF
the moment, and one which l would not
have done on mature reflection, and that
regretted its occurrence As to the terms
of ssa5use and insults used by me on the
occasion referred to, towards you and OF
which you complained, L distinctly stated
that made no apology for them as I felt
that they were fully warranted by your
card.
The drawing of the pistol L considered
wholly immaterial, as l never heard of such
an act of itself being considered among gen.
tlemen as one requiring either an apology
or satisfaction. In addition to this you
pledged yourself at Greenville, in the pres
ence of q large crowd of gentlemen, to chal-
lenge me, as l understood, and as presume
they understood, for the denunciations that
heaped upon you, 1 have publicly charged
you with knowingly and maliciously lying
in your aforesaid card. day or two after
wards L understood from your friend Mr..
Dale that you were to challenge me, and L
accordingly came to this place to receive 8
communication of that character from you.
1 repeat, therefore, that it was with no
little surprise that L received your last note,
in which you submit quietly TO my positive
refusal to accede to your demand of an apol-
ogy for the words of ''abuse and insult
which had used towords you, and in which
you also attempt to change our relative po-
sitions by throwing upon me the onus OF
sending message of hostile character
shall lend myself to no such arrangement
| want no satisfaction from you. L have
had ample, in holding yo0 up to the public
foy the misrepresentation misstatements,
and covert ipsinuations in your card, SIS q
falsiher and . Liar.
If you are content to remain quiescent
under such charge it is NO concern OF mime
l am still willing, however, to afford yea an
of redress, If you think proper
to avail yourself of it, and shall accordingly
remain in this city sufficient length Of time
for that purpose, and shall be happy to re-
spond to any demand for satisfaction for the
"terms of abuse and insult" addressed to you
at Greenyille, and for which an apology has
been demanded by you, and by me prompt
ly refused.
have made arrangements to leave on
evening, the 18th instant, at five
o'clock, but will defer my departure if neces-
saRy. Yours, &c,

piled into corners is joke they will never
forget in their lives.
Three rockets were sent up, as the signal
of a successful attack. and the Manassas kept
on up the river, although making very
slow time in comparison with her velocity
down stream just before. The Richmond
now took the Vinccnnes in tow, and the Wa
ter Witch grappled the Preble, all the time
keeping up "a heavy fire on the ram, but
without striking her except once, and then
knocking down her remaining chimney over
the vent of the other one. This choked up
the outlet for the smoke, and as they were yet

and spread throughout the boat, threatening
to suffocate every one in few minutes.

who had not discovered the accident, hold
him back. Austin saw him go up, and know
ing that he could not stand alone on the
arched roof, followed him up. There, on
the unguarded top, Hardy cut away the fall
en- chimney and its guys, with the axe while
Austin, bracing his feet firmly apart, held him
steady. All the while the balls and shells
were whistling past and around them The
vent was opened, and the sulphurous smoke
rushed out, Just as those below were getting
almost suffocated
The fire boats had been set on fire, but
were blown ashore by the wind, and burned
up without doing any damage. The Tusca-
rora was ahead of the other boats, but she
got aground, and they had to pull her off.
Com. Hollins ordered Lieut. Marley, to run

As an incident of the panic among the
Lucolnites, when the steamers towed off the
sloop- of-war and left the schooner Toone to

ashore and made off iuto the swamp, where
they will probably starve to death, for our

Hon. w. A LAKE-Sir: Your reply to my
note of this date is received.
You express regret for the act of drawing
the pistol upon me, saying it was done in a
moment of excitement, etc.. !; but you fur
thor say that the terms of abuse and in
suit complained of you feel were ''fully
warranted by my card in the Vicksburg
Wing of the I'd inst, and in the San of the
day following.
You have chosen to interpret my card as
insulting to you, and thought proper to seek
redress by return of insulting language. 1t
is sufficient for me to say that this mode of
obtaining satisfaction for an admitted insult
is not warranted" among gentlemen. lam

munication you may address me on the sub
ject of the card referred to.

JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 12.-Gen. PEentlss
and staff have taken quarters at the Jefferson
House. The line of railroad from ST. teni]]
county to Sedalla has been added 70 the
North Missouri Division, some time since as
sigued to him. His visit here is doubtless on
b1siness connected with this command.
There is a rumor in town to-day that Price
has been prevented by floods from crossing
the Usage. and that Lane has routed de-
tachment of his rear guard after having cut
them off from the main body. If this good
news be true, we shall probably know 1t
when the train gets in from Sedalia.
Four families, embracing twenty-five per-
sons, from Galloway county, passed through
here this morning on the way to Texas.

On Friday Colonel Mathews's command
had another skirmish with scouting party

A steamer arrived this morning with 500

rapidly diminishing. There are now only

Major Neville. Quartermaster at this post,

The rumor that Sigel's pickets had been
captured is authorItatively denied.
The report of Lanes exploit is also dis
credited. Zen. Price will doubtless remain
in command here. ESCOBE.
