VILE SANDERS.
Ito be continued.

We noticed in the leading columns of the
Boston Morning Post of Tuesday, a COM
munic atlon purporting to have come IRON
Augusta, in regard to Gen. Bratlsh, writ
ten with considerable asperity. Who the
writer is, we do not know, but we had eX-
pected, that regard for the very high char
acter of the gentlemen appointed by our
citizens as a committee of investigation of
the charges preferred by certain gentlemen
of Augusta, if not common charity to a
stranger, would have induced such an an
onymous slanderer, to have postponed his
attacks. The writer represents Gen. Bra
fish, as quilting the Yankees in this State.
Now we are amply able to state, that as far
as his conduct in this State is concerned,
it is rreproachable in every respect; this
point is admitted by all, and so far from
making great pretensons, he requested us
10 drop even his title of Gen. His only OBJ
ject appears to be, to gain by his talents,
an honest livelihood. We understand the
Committee is now preparing their Report,
and from what we hear, we opine that the
correspondent of the Post, will find that
Gen. Bratish, is quite ready to grasp with
responsible charges, but disposed 10 treat
slang with the scorn and contempt 1t de :.
serves.
We have thought proper to publish the
following documents, which were published
in the Public Ledger, Pennsylvania, US.
Gazette and National Gazette, to which
papers, we refer all who entertain doubts
For ourselves, we have seen enough to sat
isfy the most incredulous.
