| koH correspopdence which will, we think, " sew
up that insignificant individual completely, shut
him up and close his career in this country, and fit
him to wear petticoas in nunnery for the re
naming term of his Z" natural" life. The contro

But obliged to enter into tive were
forced into II IN consequence Of the atrocious
conduct OF the newspaper press OF this city, and
many OF the papers throughout the country, en-
deavorlng out of the fabrlcatons and alsehoods OF
this miserable creature, to impugn the honor and
disnterestedness of our conduct towards Fanny
Elsser whilst in this country.
Before We publish the remainder OF the letters,
we must notice small paragraph which Wikof
has published in his &C Pig and Whistle" and which
evidently appears to be the donkey's last kick
Here il is:-
We learn with great satisfaction that the long looked
for opportunity has at length presented ITSELF when
Herald is TO be allowed illimitabe sway Mr.. wikof
hear has commenced legal proceedings against BEN
nett of the Herald for the objectionable outrages in his
sheet OF Monday II that Bennett grown desperate
OF doing injury to Mr. WikOf by any Of the means, how
base he has hitherto employed has dared resort to
the foul crime Of nterpoatng fabricated sentences into
the published letters OF Mr. Wiko which he never wrote
accusing him OF seeking to persuade Bennett to commit
ogssy ana iurhsr altering and nn S SsIse
hood The audacious wickedness OF Bennett can no Ion
ger be doubted by any impartial man and however ex
ravag the abuse he has already heeped Mr. Wiko
this monsrous attempt defame his character must be in
dgnantly denounced in every direction II time that
the outraged law should nerpose its shield against the
reckless maignity OF this unprncipled man.
Now in order to exhibit the full depth of this poor
wretch's mpudence, folly and mcanness, dis
played in this paragraph, we again publish the let

ITO this letter we appended, in the body of it, the
editorial remark thus, that is to say forge Stouts
name, dear Bennett it will obge us;'' and this is
the ground on which the creature says he has COM
menced legal proceedings against us! Perfectly
right! Come on We are quite prepared to meet
you in any court and to show you up from top to
bottom, by the help of your own correspondence,
to be of the most consummate scoundrels
that disgraced humanity, that is to say,
as far as your little talents can go. We shall prove
every one of these letters in your own hand wrl-
ting, to be published without any alteration, addi-
ton, or subtraction whatever. We shall prove by
your own letter, that you requested us to write a
card in the name of Mr.. Stout, and to append Mr..
Stout's name to it, and this we will gladly place
before jury of the country, to say whether or not,
if we had yielded to the request we would not
have been guilty of forgery So, then, come on
as fast as you please. We will then finish the
donkey-pepper and salt him-and pickle him
and preserve him for all future tme--and let him
then be sent to the American Museum, sat an
enormous expense" to use Barnum's language, so
that he may be exhibition for the warning, in
struction and edifcation of all donkeyshereafter.
The last batch of this correspondence, including
the presents Fanny Elssler made to us, with the
accompanying note, expressive of the generous
motives and feelings which prompted her to offer
hem-also the love quarrel between Fanny and
Wikof'-and their finale and s.parationi in London
with Wikoff's prose monody on the same, in
to-morrow's paper, next days at farthest.
