SEMLSR. ‘The Vanderbilt Yacht Expedition, We publish the following from one of the city tai as a simple act of jastice to Mr. Vander I find in your paper of last evening an extract from the corresponder ce of London dated Copenh: , June 18, headed “« ‘Amenou Ships for the Czsr,” in shich th» writer intimates that the jacht excursion in the etsamer North S:ar, made by ir. Vanderbilt, was gotten up for apecuiative pur poses. He states that s Captain Moeller, some two years go, went to New York as the agent of tae Rivian government, to engege American shipbuild:ra to send in drawings vlans for a number of heed to be built in the United States for Zar. That among others, Captain Mosler applied to Mr. Vanéerbilt, who, induced by the hope ef obtain. ing such contracts, resolved to g) himsolf to 8°. Peterebarg and see the Emperar—hence te origin ard stent of the yacht expedition. ‘To find 80 grosa a mistake originating eo far from home, and «manating from a corresyonient of a London pager at Copenhagen, is mot sarorising. London ra, &8 well as their foreign corres pondents, embrace every opportunity to misrepre- set Ameri a szd American interests.

Iv is trae that when in St. Petereburg, Mr. Van- derbut received ard entertsined on board of his yactt members of the Ewpero:’s family, a8 well as meay distinguished naval officsrs.

Tt seems that a few days since-simost immedi- ately after Gov. Reeder’s return—Gen. Stringfellow called at the executive office, and had some private ecnvereation with Gov. R. The two gentlemen were slone together about fifteen or twenty minutes. Gen. 8. then stepped to the door, and invited in Col. Isaaca, the Attorney General, and Mr. Holder- man, the Governor’s private secretary, both of whom had previously retired from the room when Gen. 8. signified, in their presence, a desire to con- verse with the Governor in private. On their en- trance, Gen. 9. said he had some business, partly of ® public and partly of a private nature, to spttle with Gov. Reeier, and he had called them in that they wight witress the matter, as the results mig be importaat. Gen. Stringfellow then asked Gov. Roed- er if he bad publicly charged him with being coa- cerned with the “border roffiaps,” in a foray upon Kansas during the late election; and especially whether he meant him, personally, in the celebrated Easton speech, recently delivered by him, Gov. R, To this question, as I understasd, Gov. R. ssid hs bad not referred to him specially. The next ques— tion was, whether/he, Gov. R, in that speech, said that Kaneas was‘‘an invaded, conquered and subju- gated country.” Gov. R. said that he had so spoken and said. Gen, 8. then asked Gov. R. if he had in public or private ssid, declared or intimated, that he, Gn. 8., bad ivetigated what is termed the “‘outra- ges in Kansas,” and incited the courae pursued by persons alleged to have so invaded Kansas; or wae responsible therefor? To this question direct answer was not immediately given; acd after some conversation, Gen. 8. reduced his question to writng. (I do not profess to givas copy of it, merely the substance of the matier, as recollected by my informant.) The question, as propored, embraced the poiats spe ifisd; and ia re piy to it, Gov. Reeder said be did not know thas be bad publicly made declarations to that effect, bat os private he had probably so iatimated or jeclared. Gen. 8. then demanded a retraction, which Gov. R. declined, cn the ground that such was his belief. Some sharp conaversatiza then ensued between the sities, ard both exhibited consierable anger. Boon both parties were atanding oa the floor, wit. pistols in their hand+, aiming and aivanciog to wards each other. Col. Issaca and Mr. Hoiderman then rushed in bstween the parties and separaed them, and prevented them from using their wea ne. Gen. Stringfellow then chalienged Gov. ecer to go out of doors and settle the matter in the usual manner. Gov. R., who bad by this time taken bis seat, and was leaning back in bis opair, replied that. such monuer of settling disputes was not hia ‘'code,” o: something to that effect. Some farther conversa tion then ensued between them, when, on recsiving ® reply to tome remark, Gaueral 8. rashed upoa Governor Reeder, and either knocked or pasied nim over in bia chair, and teen attacked him on the floor, As toon as possible, Colonel [ssaca aad Mr. Holderman interfered and took General Striagfel- Jow awsy.
