10 the Editor Of the Daily Msws: AS
you have done me much Injustice in your
issue OF the 22d and on no better author.
ity than information obtained from tho
Ne,rs and Courier, ask The use of your
columns TO make the following state.
mont: On Saturday last Capt. T. r. Nal
10y made some remarks in my presence.
connecting the name Of Major Blair, nv
personal friend, with that of Whittemore.
and l understood him to say "Blair is no
better than Whittemore." Tninking the
remark intended to invite personal diff.
hculty, and earnestly desiring to avoid
anything of the kind, Immediately left
my seat and walked to another part of
the town. After thinking the matter
over coolly and dispassionately, I con.
cluded it would be unjust to Capt. Nal.
10y that l should remain in any doubt as
to his remark, and that there was moth.
ing to be gained by dodyiug insults. I
went back TO ask him what he had said.
While crossing the street asked Mr..
Wells, most nervous man and no friend
OF mine, to go to heer what was to pass
between Capt. Malloy and myself. He
declined to 60, aud went alone to where
Capt. Malloy was sitting in company
"ith several other persons, and said to
him: Captain, did understand you to
say Major Blair is no better than White
more I" He replied: Eyes, l said so,"
and retorted "You are damned liar"
upon which he struck or rather struck at
me fifteen or twenty times. While 70.
treating and guar ling his blows, trirped
and fell, and while on the ground with
the Captain upon me drew my pistol 10
shoot him, but my arm was seized and
held by third persons until the Captain
was out of range and out of sight. The
above is full and truthful statement of
the difficulty between Capt. Malloy and
myself, but it is only fair that should
further state that Capt. Malloy is in the
prime of life, some fifteen or twenty wears
my Junior, and larger and moro bower.
iul man than L haze ever been, and that
am in the scar and yellow leafn q
martyr to disease for the last twenty
years, and wholly incapacitated for pupi.
listic encounter. The fight was an ex.
ceedingly poor one, and so i.,r as know
neither the Captain or received blow.
bruise or scratch, and l was entirely sat.
ished to allow the matter to rest "in statu
quo," but my son was indignant ut what
had occurred, and the following cor.
respondence passed between Capt. NAL
10y and himself, which requires no re-
mark OF comment from me:

duct to him by your hsl,ed for me. IF
you will read your heart it will tell YOU
that you have long entertained feeling
OF hostility for me, and why you have
not openly expressed your feelings is n
question for you to answer, and does in

ing Col. Cash by the remark made about
Col. Blair, which was as follows: "I
would as soon think of voting for Whit.
temore as Col. Blair" This was polit
ical opinion entirely, and not intended

Wallace, of Columbia, and Rutledge and
Lamb Buist, of Charleston, (can You
name four better men,) to visit the old
Janitor and supervise the repainting of
the notices and professions we used in

My right there is none to dispute.
Respectfully, f. B. G. CASH.
