Mr.. Editor. We have seen communication
in The Waterman Of the 9th ult. signed, A citizen
of SUSSEX. Since it appeared, much inquiry has
been made respecting its correctness. We have
conversed with the gentleman who addressed The
col. as stated by the Citizen. He informs us that
he knows not from whence the piece came, nor
who is the author but he knows full well that its
leading facts are correct, and will attest them by
oath, Unnecessary. We have also converscd with
one OF the men who met the COL rerea,ing lie
says he will swear if required, that the Citizen is
correct in his statement. Many gentlemen are
ready TO attest, by affidavit, that they saw the Gene.
raj escaping, and heard what passed between hin,
and the honest soldier. 1t is pretended, in paIia-
ton of the Generals conduct, that he did not 70 10
The beach with the Intention oflaking the command
and that he went unarmed. But it must be reco-
lected, he was the commanding officer that The
men who collected on the beach belonged 10 his
regiment that they went equipped with arms and
ammunition, and that they needed a commander 10
arrange and encourage them.-We are informed
the generals .risnds deny the name of the horse,
and assert The General never had horse of that
name. We will not swear The General ever before
saw the name, Bucephaus, in print, or read any
book in which it may be found but we are veiv
sure he highly prizes the noble white horse which
the citizen calls Bucephalus. We know also, he
has him yet and if elected, the same milk white
stsed will in all probability bear him TO Dover.
