Since my communication to the Banner of last week. l deemed 1t proper to call upon inc Editor of the :. Gazette for the name ot the author of the communication, assailing me, in that paper, lh l! might take the ne cessary steps, personally; legally, or other wise, as the emergency may require, oi more efiectuaIly repelling the impuatlons cast upon me i; and having obtained his name, I deem that the emergency only requires that should give to the public the name ot .Hi- fred Watlace, ? as the author.

 acquired his enmity, some three years since, by publicly denouneing him as saoin- dier, and with being participant with Ball, in the amount for which the latter was de- faulter in the Bank at Fayetteville, as well as for other acts of peculation; and subsequent events have confirmed me as well as the pub lie, in the opinions there expressed concern ing him.

 It is strange that he should boast of my defeat for tife Legislature in l840, when 1t is well known fact that il wascaused by my having defended his brother for murder;-it Is equally strange that he should speak in such dsrespeclful terms of the notorious Nc K Ball,'' with whom he was associated ill honor and infany.

 regret that didno obtain his name be- fore lsent my communication to the Banner, as 1t would have saved me the trouble of Wri- ting that atcommunication, and would also have prevented me from doing great injustice to the individual to whom alluded, as the sup posed author of the article ill the Gazette- From my heart regret having alluded to him, and particularly speaking of Him in the harsh terms which employed. When see him will explain to him the circumstances, which directed my mind to him with almost conclusive certainty; and will make to him privately, atonement for the injustice done him, with the same degree of qualification that it now affords meto do itpublicly.
