A PERSONAL MATTER IN NEVADA TERRITORY.

            The following cards appear in the Territorial Enterprise of December 24th :

Virginia, December 22, 1863.

            J. W. North— Dear Sir: Proceeding upon facts and statements which appeared to warrant me in so doing, I have recently made public charges reflecting upon your character as a Judge and an honest man. With your assistance I have investigated the foundation of those charges, and I pronounce them unsustained, and take great pleasure in so stating. In my judgment, there can be no just occasion for the indulgence of any suspicion of your judicial integrity or private character.

            Yours, very truly,

WM. M. STEWART.

            Yours, very truly.
