WiiKlitotoii CITY, MARCB 1, 1835.
Messrs. Blair & Rives: I hope it will not be deeded improper in roe to allude to the principal errors in the statement made by the Hon. John Ewinjf, ofthe unfortunate rencontre between him and myself, fe thus induce a suspension of opinion until the facts are officially exhibited.
Having accidentally met with Mr. Ewing, I took occasion, courteously, to request an explanation of a" supposed injury. He ehose to cut short the conversation virtually refusing the explanation, he declared himself prepared to meet mc then, and uttering a threat, thrust his hand into his breast pocket for the purpose, as I supposed, of drawing a pistol. In self-defence, I then made use of a slender walking cane, my only weapon. It v/aa sooii bioken. I subsequently treated him with the utmost forbearance, simply repelling the attacks which he successively made with nis stick and sword.
The injury of which I desired explanation wasp\in»ly personal. having no relation in any way to politics, and referring to myself and other persons* unable to act for themselves. The forts, that Mr. Ewing is a member of Congress, & I an officer of the Army, are for me unfortunate. Yet the first doea not surely confer on Mr. Ewing theprivilege of inurdcnng—nor the second, impose on me the duty of being murdered—with impunity.
I bad prepaied a statement of theafiVir te be submitted to Messrs. Boon, Carr, Hannegan, Kinnnid,'and McCarty, of our Siale, (Indiana,) with a reouest thutthey would examine and decide upon it. I placed my com
mission as
an officer at their disposal. should they think
it necessary as an example, or expedient to pi event an unfavorable impression against the Army, that I should be deprived of it.
The investigation commenced by a military court at 12, A. M., of the 28th,and a second investigation diiccted to be made by a committee of Congress, have taken the affair out of my own hands.
As Mi. Ewing IS a foreigner, and like myself, a single man—as the affair itself is purely personal, and as the affray was brought on by Mr. Ewing's hastiness of temper—1 respectively express the Hope, that it will be judged by the facts—that politics will not in any wny,.be permitted to interfere with it, and that the Occurrence will lie epoken of impartially.
I stir, most respectfully, yourob serv t.

A CARD.—Mr. EWINQ, of Indiana, will cn tcr into no newspaper controversy with Lieut. LANK, «f the Army, whose cowardly and as«as sin-like conduct is attempted to B"e covered by his note in this morning's Globe. It becomes Mr. Ewing only to state, for the information of tys^ friends at a distance, that tho representations of that individual, in relation to the assault, are utterly destitute of truth. ..
Howe of Representatives, March 3d, 1835. Gentlemen la your paper of this morning, I see a trifling inaccuracy in reporting what I said in relation to the motion for a committee to inquire into the attack on Mr.. Ewing. My remark was this—" If the President had
matter in hand as was said, and had the right to inquire into it, there might be an impropriety in carrying on the inquiry in two places, and inquired what would be his right to inquire into any one of our privileges, and was then called to order by a friend of Mr. Ewing's, who did not hear me dittinctly.'' I did not meaa to oppose the appointment of a committee.
This is a mistake not worth correcting, except forth.s circumstance: 1 happened to be out" on business when the yeas and navs were taken. Taking both together, thev might lend to the belief |hat I am unwilling to af-
to
a
member the accustomed protection, cr wished to excuse him from the accustomed investigation on such occasions, will add also, that It might seem wantonly unkind to Mr Etoing, with whom I have boarded, and lived on terms of the kindest friendship, and knowing him to be a man of the
most
The Editor^ofthe G|obe. Wo have but a single remnrk to make on the correspondence here submitted. Is it either dignified, liberal, or just in Lieut. LANE to prejudice th® public inind Eiy the intimation thatuMr. Ewing is foreigner Did the generous people who confided to Mr. E. their dearest interests make the accidental place of his birth an objec tion? Not at all. Coming from a gentleman who aspires to be thought chivalrous, nnd whose profession weuld naturally inculcate liberal views, there is a degree of littleness in the remark, but illy suited to the occasion. Men of dauntless spirit never stoop to such pitiful arguments.

The reader will perceive by the, proceedings intho Senate yesterday, Jhat the long threatened and far-famed project of "expunging" from the Journals of the Senate of the last session the vote condemnatory of the conduct of the President in regnrd to the removal of th* Deposits, was itself expunged from the proposition on that subject & voted down almost unanimously—the original mover himself Teing amongst those who voted to abandon the idea of "expunging." The remainder of the proposition, after its offensive feature had been thus obliterated-, was then nailed to the
by a vote of 27 to 20. The whole pro

We have heretoforo said nothing on the subject,intending to fall in with the views of our brethren in other parts of the slate. Almost all the papers have spoken on the subject, and all regard the proposed Con vention as calculated to produce beneficial con sequences. We cordially enter into the views of those who started the project. We hope the meeting may be general, and that its results may conduce alike to the utility of newspapers and to the advantage of those who conduct them. The first Monday in May seems to be the time generally agreed upon for holding the Conven tien. Let that then be the time, and let the meeting be promptly and generally attend.

I bave just learnt. that the .Committee, to whom the bill for making a new arrangement of the Circuit Courts throughout the United States was committed, bave so arranged Maryland as to have Chief Justice MARSHALL assigned to it With Virginia and North Caroline.
It appears to me that this bill will pass—pass the Senate it no doubt will, I think, by a large majority, and thus a triumphant good will come to Maryland by the delay that has taken.place

JVeto Jersey.—The Legislature of New Jersey has lately increased the capital of the Morris Canal one million of dollars, which makes its whole capital 3,500,000 dollars. When the small state ofNew-Jcrsey is able to apprppriate enormous sum to one object of improvement, why is not Indiana, with a population one tenth greater and an increase of twenty per cent more rapid, in a situation to commence a general system, tho completion of which will not require more than twice that sum?

But it was out of order as all other special orders had beer, laid aside, by vote of the Mouse, for the Deposit© Bill, now under consideration. Davy was then for rescinding that vote! But the Speaker told him, that the gentleman from Virginia was entitled to the floor.

Jlfr. Editor: Mr. John Laverty, the unfortunate subject of the following memoir,was the son of Mr. Jos. Laverty, a citizen of the south end of Parke County, la. He was a fine, hearty young man, and about twenty years old, biding fair for long life, and earthly prosperity, when, on the 26th of Feb. last, in the neighborhood of his father, he was taken to a world of spirits. On the above said day, he waa helping to raise a School-house, and in assisting to take a, large hewed log across the building, he placed his shoulder under the fore-edge,
thus walking across the
sleepers.throughnegligence,
the end of the log was suffered to slip off on him, he tried to get out of the difficulty, but fell across a sleeperand the sharp end of the log fell on him, about the middle'of his back, miserably ciushed him- He nevet spoke more, but breathed his last about 30 minutes aft$r, the accident happened. «J
Though a very large majoiityof such accident? are caused by the use of ardent spirits, yet, it is said, that it
not cause this. It cannot he, by human calculation, accounted for, on any otLer ground than that of negligence. The sad circumstance, therefore, should guard all that heaT of it against carelessness, and every thing else, which might endanger the precious life of man.
Thus suddenly was this blooming young man hurried from time to solemn eternity, at an hour entirely unexpected. That Divine Providence had no interference in this matter, we dare not say—it is, however, if providential, somewhat dark and mysterious, as the nian was healthy and youhg. It mny be, by his friends and others a solemn warning, that— "Death stands ready at the Hoor, to seise our lives away."
