note from Mix had been admitted in the In
,ellieeucer, free Of charge, denying the accuracy
Of publication made By US, any explanation on
our part, confined to that point, should also be
inserted. The errors in our publication were
corrected in the Phenix Gazette Of that morn

correction. which he did OH the following day
If Duff Green contradict any part oil this
statement, he will only add another to the nu-
merous falsehoods Of which he is the author.
