4" G1cath3Sey, Manry 4 Co"-A number of our
friends have called assure us that the gentlemen
above named, were grossly slandered by the author
of the anonymous Liverpool letter which we pub
hshed yesterday morning. Mr.. Gwathney and
MIR. Maury represented to US by their acquaint-
ances in this city, gentlemen OF the highest res
probability and excellence of character and as free
from the charge of lying as any men in Christen-
dom. We were mised by TIE manner in which
their names were used. Gwathney Maury & Co
we supposed to be fictitious commercial firm,
we knew such real firm. But under
stand that this firm means these two gentlemen,
and all those who have made large estimates of the
crop! 1t will be from remarks on this
communication, that we regarded it attack on
ourselves, for publishing statement in refer
ence to the crop which displeasing to the
writer. We make it an invariable rule TO publish
every thing the subject of the cotton crop that
comes from reliable source, both for and against,
and nothing that is not reliable. We think it is
the best for all parties interested to know the truth
1t is our intention to keep ourselves well posted on
this subject, and to give readers truthful and
reliable information from time to time. We have
handed the manuscript of the letter to a friend
OF these twt gentlemen, with a view that the author
may be traced out by the handwriting and if that
can be done, we presume his case will be attended
to. We hope, however, that he will not be forced
TO take snuff.
