Mr. Sam James, hands have been until for one
whole week. He is under no bonds to Keep the
peace. and have been frequently, and Shall be in

the gauntlet down, AMI now LAY to him or any ol
his lric~d, that | defy them, AMI stand ready /"
give each or any of them personal satisfactlo"
whenever demanded.
In this personal controversy between myself and
James, have studiou>y avoided Introducing do
nestle affairs into our quarrel. All decent and
honorable people will deprecats dragging int"
public print those relations which should b. held
sacred and inyiolate. James paraded yesterday in
his card some garbled extracts from a letter
written him by RE in sacred confidence whlch
every honorable spirit would scorn 10 violate
James, like ghoul, feeds upon scandal and deia'
nation, and Tuthcs-ly makes public what was
written in sprit Of sacred and family confidence

brothers once the most affcctonate and devoted y
the world | have had no intercourse with hin
since last September; but while ain thus opposed
10 nv brothers conduct, and shall not attempt TO
v!ndicate him, no living man shall, IN my pre-
sence, call him a coward for whatever may be his
faults, he Is not a coward. With this brief 2llu-
sion, which has been forced upon me, / leave his
domestic relations 10 be explained and protected
by him. which he will no doubt do in public
card In concluding, take occasion to say am
a firm believer In the code my father taught NE
Il; one brother has fallen by It. nave never
YET and never shall refuse personal satisfaction 10
any gentleman seeking 1t Of me. James stands De-
fore the public confessed coward, for he refuses
to fight when / throw the gauntlet down 10 him,
and offer TO meet him anywhere out Of the state oil
Virginia on terms Of equal and honorable combat.
He prefers to keep under the wing OF Henningsen,
and make it appear by bluster and bravado that he
is n lighting man." when he dare not meet my
self or my brother.
Hoping tina, the public will see by this publica-
ton that have never yet refused to grant Mr..
James an opportunity OF personal satisfaction, ]
close, with many apologies TO my readers for the
great space have occupied with my personal af-
fairs, which ! would not have done under any
other eircumsta es than those which impel every
honorable man to yindicats his conduct when un.
