Tho quarrel between these two persons grows decidedly more interesting. In refu tation of the ehuifje brought against Willis by Webb, Willis published a card a few lays since, which we had not room to copy, and in which he states that the only cir cumstance in connection with his life which could at all be construed into any such charge as Webb brings against him, is that of a vuung lady, who was ambitious of liter ary fame, and whose letters written to him in the open confidence of literary frieudnhip, although the cuide productions of a youthful and uninformed mind, gave promise of the development of an uncommon genius. The lady has since married, and is now the pru dent and iiiobstriisive mother of a family The letters, Willis adtls, he was anxious to keep, as the natural expessions of an inter esting mind, but her father, who at first felt unkindly towards him as the supposed en courager of tha ereeuti ieilies of his (.laugh ter, courteously demanded the letters of him and they were courteously returned. The farther, be say, parted with him in the warmest friendship, after an expUnntion on his part, and thus ended the matter, and on this Col. Webb, who was also connected with the affair, bases his charge. Col. Webb, after pnblisbinj? and review ing Willis' card, in the Courier r:d Enqui rer, of Monday, concluded with the follow ing : "We nev reiterate every word of our charge and were we writing for the read ers of the Courier and Enquirer only, we hould be content to leave the matter upon the issue of our respective charaeVers for truth. But this may not le, onder existing circumstances ; and we therefore proceed to test the truth of what we have alleged, in the only manner in which it can be done without pointing suspicion to the party itr plicated. Gen. George V. Motria U the personal frieud of Willis the co-proprietor of the Jlomt Journal, and co-editor with him in the conduct of that paper, tta suffered Willis ts publish, in their paper an Bn5a1.it on my private character when I was in Europe and incapable of defending myself, which is ad. mitted to be, by those who have read it, one of the moil infamous assaults which ever found it way into an American newspaper. Being thus, in Uvr and in fact, a parly to that disgraceful publication, (Which, how ever, we have never seen) he cannot bo sus pect ad ot any friendship for us ; while it is morally certain, that if practicable, he will relieve TVillis from the charge we have made. Now, let Willie send- General Morris to us, and we will confront the General" with the party who was present when Willis de livered us the letter ef his victim. We will plane before him- the identical package ef letters, subscribed, in Willis' hand-writing, hi "Colonel Webb " We will prove their identity ; and will plaae in hie hands, for bit perusal, the letter writen to Willis by his victimr after her (eduction. All this cm be don with' impunity without Geneial Home having the slightest cue to the iden tity of the writer of the letter; who, it liv. ing, will rejoice that justice hat thus overta ken her behayer. She feels, we doubt not, beyond the reach of suspicion ; and although she may regret that other unfortunates have suffered suspicion from her fault, she wil do us the justice to believe that we never would have broached this matter if we had not known that by no possibility could she suffer. Latk mom Cuba. The steamship, Isabel Captain Rellins, arrived at Charleston en the 23lh inst., from llavannnh, bringing dales to the 22d inst. The news, so far as regards the condition of the island, is altogether un important. The continued rumors in rela tion to the intended invasion of Gen. Lopez, created no great excitement at Haranna, but great vigilance continued to be observed around the coast. Interesting, to Ramac Rt'ti.tEu. The President of the White Deer Bridge Compa ny, gives notice that prrlpnsals will be recei ved at the office nf the Company, in Union town, Lycoming county, on Thursday, the 20th of June, proximo, for constructing a Bridge, on the Burr plan, across the West Branch of the Susquehanna, near that place. Plans nnd specifications will be exhibited at the office ten days previous to the let ting. Thocrkss of the Short Skirt Move ment. The Boston Times says on Saturday afternoon lust, a young lady of 13, daughter of a well known West End citizen, made her appearance on Cambridge street, accom panied by her f.ilher, dressed in a round hat, short dress, fitting tightly, nnd pink satin trousers. She wore her "blushing honors" with considerable ense nnd grace, uid diil not seem abashed by the gaze of the crowd. Pink satin for trousers certainly exhibits a considerable degree of fondness for bright colors.
