EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY. ++ Geteber 5, 1856. _——————— (07 Advertisements should be handed In by Bi o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union has a letter from a most relia- ble source in Kansas, from which it gives the following extract : “Peace now a marca cae restored. pong ney orm ee. Men are resu- ir ordi pursuits, and a general p= tm pervades the entire community. The Union adds : sic taviner “Ww. Iso informed that there M to believe thas, the sagacious and pe Governor of that Territory will many issue : proclamation announcing the prevalence fe tranquility, and inviting the return of all cit- izens who have been ejected by fraud or force The Unzon notices an attack made by the New York Hera/d upon Senator Seward and his Detroit speech, in which Bennett asserts tHat Seward is “ befogged as to the real drift, merits, and issues of this great movement for Fremont and a new aiministration.”’ In the @pivion of the Union — “Bennett evidently sees which way the wind blows, and is setting his sails according- ly. He will announce the triumph of Buchan- an, and’exult in it with fiendish delight as the final overthrow of Seward, Greeley, Webb, and Raymond. Look ont for Bennett’s denial that he ever was a black Republican, and his assertion that he was only a sR, in their camp to cheat and use ‘the black Republican ras- cals.’ ”” The Intelligencer is devoted to news, politi- eal and ctherwise. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP A Blunder.—The wily old stateeman and di; loma ist Tallyrand, in animadverting upon some diplomatic faux pas, averred that ‘ it ‘was Worse than a crime—it was a blunder’ We fancy that the managers who do the Re- pub ican wire-pulling are now convinced that they were guilty of not only a blunder, but a very silly blunder, in directing their tools at Conco:d, N. H., to break up the public weet ing called to take measures to give President Pierce a public reception. The wickedness and malignity of the act would probably cause the originators and perpetrators no sense of shame ; but now, as the fact leaks through their hair, that this petty exhibition of parti Zan spite hag aroused the generous sympathies of the people and converted what was intended azaquiet reception of the President, at his home by his fellow-townsmen, into a great and almost uoprecedentedly enthusiastic demon- stration—as this fact becomes apparent—we have no doubt these same bitter partizans are biting their nsils with very vexation, The in- cident will learn them a useful lesson ; it will teach them that right-minded men of al! politi- cal creeds deem an insult to the Chief Magis- trate of the Union an insult to themselves per- sonally, and will resent it accordingly. In fact, ifthe opponents of the Adminictration had gone deliberately to worh it (the Administra- tion) the greatest benefit within their power, they could not have succeeded more effectually than they did by their foolish display of spite at Concord. A Card to the Public—We take the fol- lowing card from the Union of this morning : Wasutnetos, D. C., Oct 7, 1856. It is known to the public that the late con- templated meeting between Roger A. Pryor and B B. Botts was arrested this morning by the police of Washington, aided by Mr. Tyler, lice officer of Richmond, sent on by Joseph ayo, of Richmond Under these ciream- stances, and others which I shall state in this card, I feel impelled, as the second of Mr Fryor, to publish the correspondence with these remarks. liere is the correspondence : Ricgmonp, Oct 1, 1856. Sir: There is no need that 1 should demand satisfaction for = “card” in the Whig of this morning. ou announce your responsi- bility in advance; and I have only to request jou to meme your time, place, and weapons Xcuse me for suggesting that the earliest practicable period and the wost accessible point will best suit my convenience.

Dear Sin: It is proposed that the contem- ) rey meeting between yourself and Mr. its should take place near Washington city Mr. Botts will immediately place himself out of the State. I will be in waiting at the Na- tional Hotel, in Washington, on jonday next at eight o'clock, a. m , when the precise spot will be suggested for the meeting, early Tues- day morning following ; Weapons, pistols ; diz- tance ten pacer, ery respectiully, R.

Sim: In response to my appeal to you to name the earliest practicable period for our meeting, I have a promise under your band that there should be no ‘“‘unnecessary delay.” The result is that, after deferring a definitive reply for forty eight hours, you at last agree to meet me next Tuesday morning in the vi- —— of Washington city. There is much a — the country about this affair, and it ardly possible that the utmost precaution can prevent an a: “ by considerations which ie Am impelled, too, me to mention in this se is not proper fir you propose.

Bores. R. A Pryror, Esq. R monn, Oct. 3, 1856-2 o Protesting against the a place, * exposing the parties in this affair to unne- cessary hazards of yet accept your terms, and will be in veese in sccord- ance with your i apy Mr. B. B. Borrs. It will be seen that immediately after the 9) ng. net ho ly of Mr. B B. Botts was delayed ight noticed that during this time ee feed was directed tothe matter b the challenge to challenge in Mr. Botta’scard, and that apprised of this fact, Mr. Pryor ob- jected to the time and P ary and suggested a meeting near Richmond the next morning at sunt To this Mr B B. Botts, as will be seen from his letter, dissented, as interfering with his arrangements and rights as the chal- lenged party. I then suggested North Caro- lina as preferable to Mr. Botts’s second, which was also re; Mr. Pryor accepted the terms under protest, and Sunday morning re- aired to a point qut of Virginia, and accessi- le to “ the vicinity of eer Ap- prehending from the singular publicity given to the affair that an arrest She t take place if I traveled with Mr. ri ta left Richmond in advance of him, leaving him with Mr. Irv- ing, of Lynchburg, with whom he arrived near Washington Sunday evening. On Monday, at8 o'clock, according to ar- rangement, I called en Mr. J. F. Smith, the second of Mr Botts. with whom I had a general understanding as to the terms, with the ar- rangement for a second interview, at 10 o’clock, to reduce the terms to writing. Shortly after we went to the ground, to prevent any mistake about it Fearful of an arrest, I again sepa- rated from Mr. Pryor, and instructed Mr Ir- ving to have him on the ground before day, as the leaving of the hack after light might direct the police to the spot Upon my own arrival near the ground, which was fifteen minutes after five—nearly two hours before the hour of meeting, and it was fully light—I met Mr Irving, who informed me that Mr. Pryor and himself had been on the event some twenty minutes. I remained th some time, when Dr. Boyle, the surgeon, as it afterwards turned out, of Mr. Botts, arrived, and stated that he bad passed a hack with strangers init. Im- mediately after, this hack arrived, and proved to contain the police officers. Mr. Pryor, my- self, and Mr. Irving immediately fled in the woods Mr Irving, not beinginvolved in the matter, very quickly returned, when, as he approached the officers, one of them arrested him as Mr Smith. After a short time they arrested me. Mr. Irving then stated that our party had not been fairly treated, as the other party would doubtless hear of the arrest and avoid the field To this one of the police replied at once, that the other party had staid at Rock- ville, Maryland, and could not consequently hear of the arrest. Afterwards they did ar- rive and were arrested. I subsequently learned that Mr. Botts had in reality been at Rockville the night betore, and did come from that place tothe field. He did not arrive until between six and seven, and when the sun was fally up. There being no prospect of a fight, and Mr. Tyler of Richmond, saying that he had authority*to take Mr. Botis and Mr. Pryor back to Richmond, upon consulta- tion with their friends, and to avoid the in convenience of givingebonds in Washington, pledged their honor not to attempt any breseh of the peace in the District of Columbia, but to consider themselves as in the custody of Mr. Tyler. During conversation between Mr Tyler and Mr. Irving, as also between Mr. Smith, Mr. Pryor, and Mr Irving, as 1 learn from the last named gentleman, Mr. Tyler stated that he accidentally heard at Asbland that the place was the same as that which had been resorted to between Messrs. Ridgway and Pryor. The cars pass Ashland about sige o’clock Monday morning. It was after that tome before Mr. Smith communicated the place tome. It thus seems that strangers at Ashland had a general idea of the place of meeting before it was known to me as the sec- ond of ‘Sir Pryor. I also learn that the police succeeded in finding the precise place by fol- lowing Dr. Boyle, the surgeon of Mr. Botts Shortly after the arrest, [, as also Mr Ir- ving, by authority of Mr. Pryor, proposed then to make arrangements for a meeting after the parties should be bound over, as we antici- pated they would be, notwithstanding the ex- pected recognizance. Mr. Smith declined an acceptance then, with the statement that he had no doubt it would be accepted when made after giving bonds, but he did not feel at lib- erty, while under arrest and pledge, to make arrangements for another meeting. Being satisfied from these facts and others that any attempt tosccure a hostile meeting betwcen Mr B. B. Bottsand Mr. Pryor will be thwarted by persons not connected with the matter, brt friendly to the Hon J. M Botts, as alco satis- fied from the physical condition of Mr. B. P. Botts, as exhibited on the field, that Mr Pryor ought not to shoct at hin, can have nothing more to do with the matter, and, giving the correspondence and these facts to the public, close my connection with it. It is proper to add that Mr. Pry®r succeeded in making his escape; and returning near the | phseees place of meeting afterwards, about the jour appointed for the combat, was called up by Mr. Irving.
