Watson G. HAYNES.

The name of this gentleman is frequently re.
peated of late in the Democratic press. He was
a member of the Pittsburg Freesoil Convention,
and one of the prominent actors in its scenes
The Pennsylvania says he is politician of the
Greeley school, and that Greeley gave him q
thousand dollars to go to Pittsburg and attend
the Convention Greeley, however, emphatically
denies this, and disclaims having any commune
cation with Mr.. Haynes.
The following appears in the Republic of this
morning:
To the Editor of the Washington Republic.
SIR: Permit me to contradict vile report, now
going the rounds of the newspapers, to the effect
that was sent to Pittsburgh through the infu-
ence and at the request of the Hon. Horace Gree
lev and the Hon. William II. Seward. To which
have to say that it was as impossible for either
of those gentlemen to know of my intentions Of
attending there as that | will be the next Presi-
dent of the United States.
No man living attempted to induce me to 60
there; and do solemnly aver that no individual
in this world knew Of my intended course OF ac-
ton there.
am not the man to be controlled, nor are the
honorable names mentioned the men to be party
to any base transaction.
recommend Mr. Pierce on FREEsoIL, ANTI
PopERY, and anti-Maine law grounds.
WATSON. G. HAYNES.
Garisons, Putnam county, NsT,
August go 1862.
We are also favored with communication from
Mr.. Haynes, dated as above. 1t is as follows:
To the Editors Of the Daily American Telegraph.
MEssRs. EDITORS: Will you grant to an obscure
individual little corner in your paper, for short
explanation in reply to a number of letters from
friends and strangers, relative to my opposition
to the election of General Scott and my adherence
TO General Pierce.
These correspondents ask thousand questions
in explanation of my speech at Pittsburgh, at the
Free-soil Convention, such as, would have sup.
ported Commodore Stockton, the conqueror Of
California; General Houston, the hero of Texas
General Cass, the old guardian of the Democratic
party; the millionaire Buchanan, the fnanciel
Walker, the one-vote candidate, ID. s. Dickinson
or the Young Giant, if either of them had beer
nominated by the National Democratic Conyen
ton, and what my reasons are for sustaining
Pierce and Kingi
/ reply, that consider the nomination of Mr..
Pierce as an entire and complete triumph of Free
soil principles over both the old parties by bring
ing q new unknown" before the country, who
party together, and who can rally to his supper
all the great leaders of the Free-soil party of thu
North on Free-soil principles, the better to carr.
out our cherished objects, in his election.
In the second place, / have entire confidence
in General Pierces strong anti Popery sentiments
in proof Of which, the great champion Of anti
Popery principles, the Rev. DR.. Brownlow, is nov
sustaining him.
And thirdly, have reason to believe that Gen
Scott, if elected, will recommend to Congress tn
passage of law similar to the Maine liquor law

A Bold Mani

Such, says the Richmond Wing, emphatically,
is Brevet Major l. /. Stevens, of the United
States army. If ever we were called upon to Sc
lect person to storm Gibraltar with o pocket
pistol, he is the man whom we should choose for
that chivalrous enterprise. There is nothing too
arduous for him to undertake. We are led to this
conclusion by recent feat of his, which, for
reckless daring, is not surpassed by anything re-
corded in Grecian or Roman annals. He has

| THAT "VAsT AssEMBLAGE."- Last night the
Demo carcy tried to assemble in their might at
the Western Market-house for the purpose OF
arousing little enthusiasm among the members
of that party in this city The night was fair,
and We have no doubt they came forth in there
might. But the greater part of the little crowd
we looked upon as Scott men. The cluster
around the rostrum was composed of course, Of
the unterrifed but few more.
The place was well lighted. The American
flag was nailed up against the east end of the
disposed to come down and get out Of bad COM
pany
The meeting was called to order by some per-
son, who nominated Beverly Tucker, esq.,, as
president, and he was chosen. Then came a long
list of the names Of vice presidents and secreta-
ries. The president introduced the Hon. Mr..
Bocock, of Virginia, who began his speech, and,
for want of material to work on for Pierce, he
thought it best to talk little for himself first.
He told how he had "unsheathed his maiden
sword in 1910, and rushed into the action, but
didn't say anything about the result of his des-
perate efforts. Before he got through, many in
quiries were made as to when the music would
begin, and, for his encouragement, three hearty
cheers were given for Gen. Scott!
Next came Mr. Ingersoll, Of Connecticut.
Nothing remarkable occurred during his speech,
except the attempt of the flag to get away from
it fastenings
Col. Bissell, of Illinois, came next. He SEEM
ed to want to make the people believe that all
national greatness proceeded from the dongs of
the men of his party, and to the success of its
principles but, as one Of his juvenile auditors
remarked, his hearers couldn't suck that stick
of candy
Gov. Brown, of Mississippi, then took the
stand, and opened in the same old Way: "My
Irish friends must bear with me, as am a bit of
an Irishman myself" The Governor should en-
deavor to get up new speech.
Mr.. Polk, of Tennessee, spoke next; and then
the "vast assem6lage," as Messrs. Bocock and
Tucker called it, adjourned
A MAN DRowNED.-A man was drowned on
the fats opposite the Penitentiary, about half
mile from shore, this morning at seven o'clock,
under the following circumstances: The skitf at
tached to long-boat, lying at anchor, went
adrift, and the captain of the boat, white man,
attempted to recover it by swimming but, when
near the skiff, he was observed to falter awhile,
and then sink, apparently without a struggle. A
boat was sent to his relief from the Penitentiary
with all possible despatch; but his body had not
been recovered at the time this paragraph was
written We have not learned the mans name.
