H. w. ELLswoRTH.-The Daily Journal pub
lished at Lafayette, Indiana says, in yesterdays
Daily Journal we published an item, on the au
thority of the New York Commercial Advertiser,
fastening on this gentleman, whose home residence
is Lafayette, the disgraceu charge of lending the
sanction of his official character to the smuggling
of goods into the Swedish port of Stockholm. This
accusation reflects not only upon the private repu
tation of Mr. Ellsworth, but impresses with
shameful stigma our national honor. Americans
abroad and at home, who neither know nor care
for Mr.. Ellsworth personally, cannot but be wound
ed in their finest sensibilities in thinking of the
mere possibility of the asserted derelictions being
true. For this reason we think the matter should
at once be reduced to certainty, that the innocent
may escape, and the gulty-if guilt there be-sufer
fho
We have been shown private letter from Mr.
Ellsworth, dated at Stockholm, October 30, 1S4S
from which we are permitted to make an extract
that would seem to exculpate him entirely, and fix
upon another the reproach with whichh stands ac-
cused. The extract is substantially in these words

An UNKNOWN CRY BROUGHT TO LIGHT.-The
Courier des Etats Jnis states that an ancient city
has been accidentally discovered in Asia Minor
situated onthe borders of the old kingdoms of Pom
tus, Cappadocia and Galatia. Seven temples and
about two hundred houses have been found, al
though in partially ruined condition DR.. Brun-
ner who has visited these structures has not as yet
been able to find any inscription bas-relief that
could furnish the least trace to the name or history
of this city, situated in the midst of extensive ex-
cavations which no traveller has been known ere
now to visit
