C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1857. THE LATE AFFRAY AT CHAMBERS- BURG, Pa. Az we have published newspaper accounts of this affair, whieh we now have reason to believe did injastice to one of the parties engaged in it, we horewith republish a late letter to the Phil- adelphia Press on the subject, from that gen- tleman—a member elect to the U. 8. House of Representatives from California. It will be found of interest to the reader: PaiLaDELrata, Oct. 20, 1857. Col. John W Forney: Immediately After the difficulty at Chambersburg, I returned to our farm, and have not. until this morning, received the newspaper versions of the affair it appears that nearly all the information upon the subject is derived from one of the parties implicated. and therefore to be taken with much allowance. In regard to those state- ménts gathered from parties who could have seen but little of the affray, or most of whom whom received it in an exaggerated form, I Propose, as far as my recollection will serve me a statement of the whole affar. My younger brother and myself first were aware of the pres- ence of Craig at Chambersburg about I o'clock in the day. My father, apprehensive of our return to town. imposed upon us the most pos- itivesimjunction that we should not do so until after the departure of the cars, at 10 minutes after 2. Owing to the fact that our mother was coming down with some relatives at 4 o clock, we gave him the required promise. I then stated to my father, that from the statements of Craig. made to many parties, (that he expected to fight whenever we met,) I believed that he had come himself. instead of sending his son, in order to irritate and provoke. me, and while I would comply with my promise, yet if Craig stayed an hour after the departure of the cars. he did so at his own peril; that I would not and could not suffer the degradation of his presence around a home that he had made desolate. When we supposed the cars had started. my brother and myself, promising to await the ar- rival of my mother and her friends, started to town. When within a short distance of the de- - Robert remarked the cars had not started. o words passed between us; no plan of fight: no concert of any kind. We walked up, pass- ing the first car, and thence to the second; my brother remarked ‘there he is.”? I looked in the window. discovered Craig on the opposite side, and about four or five feet from me. I should have shot him there, but it has always been my determination to open the fight face to face, should we come in collision. [told Robert to remain quiet, and walked back some ten or fifteen paces, to the front of the car. I entered the front door, advanced, I think, about three or four paces. when the soundof a shot, I believe, from Robert, brought my pistol up. I do not now know who fired first. Craig or myself, but my impression is, that it was almost simu!t-neous. I was stand- ing during the Lrst three of my uwn shots, erect in the centre i the cars, ex; ltoa fire so rapid, that I could not take aim, lest, in time of oocking and aiming, he should-take a deliberate shot, as he was armed with self- cveking revolvers, able to fire several shots tomy one Scan this time he was almost entirely ed by the seats, shooting in a stoopin; sture. From where [ stood, to the back en ot tho car, there was but one person beside Craig and myself. I may have sed others in entering the car; if so, and I understand that itis the case, excitement and irritation, not wantenness, made me furget that I was periliing other lives. After the aboye, Craig and myself both retreated towards the doors— he to the back one, I to the front ; (this is the pursuit mentioned.) I believe we exchanged shots at the door I am not certain, but it was said my last shot was fired outside theear. I stood upon the platform of the car. supposing I had expended my last shot, and the only use I could make o: my pistol, ard the use I did make wes to intimidate. When Craig. after leaving the back end of the car. jumped upon the platform, he and Robert exchanged shots— three or fuur—each of them partially protected by the coluuns of the porch. Craig fired two shots along the car while I was watching his proceeding, but which did no damage, as [ took my head out of the way He then jumped on his end of the car and down on the other side, which was the last I sawof him. Thinking he had run around the depot, we went around so as to meet him and preveat him getting at us unawares. It was there I saw Mr. James Kiley, whose name is used to substantiate the reports in the Harris- burg papers, (and who does not endorse their statements:) £ mistook him, from size and dress. and pointed my pistoi at hin, but in x second discovered my error. My brother and myself walked up town to reload, not thinking Craig was hurt, or that he would be able to get of ou the cars. We heard at the gunsinitu’s that Craig was wounded, and we were not ar- » but voluntarily gave ourselves up. The above, in all essentials, is a correct state- ment. I now propose to review the statements of the Harrisburg papers, and the version they doubtless believed to be true. First, the Her- ald, from which I extract the following : When they arrived there, they both walked al oe the platform of the depot, alongside which the cars stand, until they espied the ob- ject of their search, when Joseph immediately Jumped up to the door of the car, and Robert Fan to the opposite end. and each fired in at Craig. ‘The car was full of passengers, and it may well be supposed that the disturbance im- mediately created the wildest alarm amongst them. Some threw themselves down on the floor, others dodged behind the seats, others jumped out of the windows, and ageneral scene of excitement occurred. The firing was con- tinued by the brothers in this wag'tee several rounds. but both seemed to be under so mach excitement that they were unable to take di- rect aim, and Craig remained unwounded. As soon as he could do so, he extracted a revolver from the place where it was confined, and fired it several times, each time taking aim at Jo- sepb. He has since said that he did not desire to injure Kobert. whom he might have shot with the greatest ease. There were some twelve or thirteen shots fired in ell in the ear. Finding that he could do nothing in the car, Craig made for closer action with Joseph, when the latter started torun, and was followed by Craig, with the other brother in the rear. During this race Craig fired several shots at Joseph, one taking effect in the arm, and in- juring him slightly. Robert also fired several shots at Craig, one of which entered his back. D the melee Craig was also pierced in the a ball, but wecannot say with occu- racy from whose pistol. The parties wore sep- arated after having chased one another around the depot reps | for some time, and endaa- gering the lives of a great many persons who were in the vieinity. All the partics were arm- ed with two pistols apiece.’ Mr. Craig his weapons in his hand before a shot was fired; drawing them the moment I where [ am required.’’ one barrel not being dischai » and I an- aware of the fact und the sacra over. My brother had a small five-shoother—no other arms. If the number of shots. stated by the Herald to have been thirteen—Mr. Crai, must have fired eight or nine. To elose with the Heraid, its information is almost entirely incorrect. and much of it sheer invention in those who gave it tothem. The Harrisburg Telegraph says that Mr. Craig was returning to his wife. The whole community are aware that they have been separated for three years, she voluntarily leaving him; and while her prise duty and her marriage vow would e her to him in sickness or death, in all things else the pride and honor of woman has repelled the Leper. As to the statement of shooting me in the arm and log, pursuing me to the door, it is a piece of embellishment without the shadow of truth. The statements bel sy into one of the city papers, both in regard to the parties and facts, are ere e rated. It says fifteen shots were fired by the McKibbins, and five by Craig. The facts have been stated. The closing Paragraph is purely malicious in the informant, that the firing was principally at Robert, for whom Jeremiah is substituted, as Mr. Craig's own statement gives it the lie, for he says he did not desire to shoot Robert. My own opinion of the number of shots, and immediately after the affair, can be heard from Col. McClure, of Chambersburg. as I stated to him that my impression sia thee Craig had three pistols. I am probably mistaken. I am only positive that he had two, and his firing a much greater numbtr of shots than myself, some of them after I had ceased firing. In conclusion, I desire to say, that I make this publication simply from ‘misstatements that prejudice others than rb 3 I feel no necessity for justification. Had 1 ki under any circumstances, or in any way, it would be no atonement for the past. I do not think myself justifiable in risking my life as I did in order to take his. If every son of my father had combined to destroy him, there is not an honest heart that would not say the Provocation was more than sufficient. My self- respect—that is more to me than any public opinion—fully, entirely acquits me in all that T have done; in all probability, saved my life, I knew he has the approval of his conscience—the respect of all who chensh the sanctity of their home. led him and for my brother Robert, who. 0s.

She had not been there long be- fore she seemed to attract the attention of an old lady, who was on the lookout fora girl. Old lady was pursy and short-winded : old lady wore several pounds of chains, lockets, rings, brace- Jets. and other cheap jewelry; old lady had a “jolly red nose,”" and a good many red ribbons, and red stripes in her heavy silks dress, and alto- gether—what wich her gew-gaws and her whim- whams, and her jigamyrees, and her thingum- bobs—was a very gi She. the old Indy.

The ‘gentleman’? attempted by words of persuasion, temptation, and force. tocommit a foul outrage upon her person. but failed. She eseaped, and sought refuge at the nearest station-house.

EZ Not long since a worthy pastor of one of our city churches. who combines divinity and humor in a woof of wit as bright and rich as @ ‘cloth of gold,’ was called upon one evening by 2 nameless gentleman and informed that his services would be required at an early hour in the morning for a peculiarand delightful duty, and took his leave. Bright and early the reverend gentleman was ready and waiting. when a carriage was driven “per a “sorrel’’ boy with * freckled’’ horses, wi 0 rang the bell, which was answered by the dominie in propria personae. The following dialogue ensued : Boy—* Is a pusson ‘ere as goes to the cars?”” ‘No. sir; Tam going toa wedding !"’ “ The boy's face fell as he said. “ getin, sir’ “But,"’ remarked the clergyman. --do you know where to go?"’ “No, sir!” “Nordol. Who sent you?” “ Mr. sir.” “Well, go and find Mr. » and inquire Off went the boy with his earriage, and in a short time returned and the conversation was renewed. “Have you found out the place?” asked the Minister. “No, six; but I’ve found out what street he went on: you'd bitter get in, sir, I guess I kin find it.”’ And in he got. After driving some distance, the carriage was stopped, ihe driver got down, opened the tloor, and with the most sobercoun- tenance, said : ‘: There’s a feller a courtin’ a gal here, you might try the place.”’ And the dominie did try it, and found the’ preeise place where his services were needed by two anxious and palpitating hearts, which he quickly bound together in the indissoluble bonds of matrimony.
