There seem to have been q mistake
in the report current last Saturday in
reference to the difficulty which oc-

gladly correct it that no injustice may
be done to anyone. We learn that

standing face to face when the alterca-

will doubtless occur in day or two
and then we shall furnish true ver-
sion of the affair that justice may be
done to all.
