H*fc Pry or returned to this City. . The Blade Republicans, it is said, used their best endeavors to press the difficulty to the field for settlement ALr. Potter refused to.leave the District, for the pur. !po?! of receiving a diallenge. Mr. Pryor theu challenged Km peremptorily, which was accepted after a delay of twelvohours. Air. Potter named bowie knives, in tho open air, th?-seqpnds to bo armed with navy revolvers. 4. These terms were rejected by Mr. Pryor's secouds, without consulting their principal, as vulgar and, barbarous. , \fr, yonder, the -second of'ircPotter, offered to assume the quarrel and fight with pistols. This was also rejected, and here the affair rests. Mr. Potyer is i<l?here, a'nd-ifr.Pryor in "Virginia. r j<- " '.r- * ir. . ; lir^.'r 1 iTho correspondence between Messrs.

From what we can learn it seems that Mr. Wall had , gone to the blacksmith shop, nt Sumterville, for the purpose of getting his horse shod, and while there was insulted by two or three individuals. Having no 1 friends or. acquaintances there, .he went away, but afterwards returned with some friends, and demanded one of the gentlemen (Mr. Mobley) to repeat the insulting language which he had previously used, whereupon, he (Mobley) did repeat and at the same time fired a pistol at WalL He missed Wall at the first fire . and struck another gentleman, but fired again and hit , him, whereupon "ho himsoii was snot aown oy uapc. Jas. F. P. Johnson?the contents of one barrel of a shot gun lodging in his head," and as he fell he was shot again by Johnson. Mobley died instantly and Wall died the next day. This account differs somewhat from those published in several other papers, but we have it from a direct and reliable source. It is a sad affair, we extend our sympathy to the parents and friends of the deceased C'has. Wall-?Cheater Standard. Distbibctio.v of U..S.

Senator Clicsmit's Speech. The many personal friends of our distinguished fellow-citizen, will read his late very able and .Statesmanlike speech, with profound gratification. Tt is on able vindication ol African slavery as it ex' ists at the South, and a faithful and just exposition of the rights of the Soulhqjjii States under the common Constitution. lie is failhfuHn pointing out to our enemies the ruinous consequences of their policy to themselves, and the direful effects which the practical operation of such policy would inevitably entail upon our common country. It is -the voice of reason and truth, and if its wis? and prudent counsels are heeded, possibly the country may be saved from the ruin that impends: in any event our record will be clear, with the consciousness that the South will be able to hold her own, "weather the storm, and reconstruct the temple of her safety on a firm and enduring basis." The Charleston Jlercw y says: "Mr. Chesnut's friends will lie highly gratified by this effort of his in the Senate, and his constituency nr tin. whole Stale will see in him a faithful and ster ling defender of their rights. We are gratified that our anticipations of his course have heen realized by the results, and that he repudiates, with a becoming decision and scorn, the swindling and contemptible device'of Squatter Sovereignty, as maintained by that prince of demagogues?Douglas. This is the first great issue that the South has to meet.'" As we expect to publish the speech at an early day, wc forbear further comment for the present. Favorable Indications.
