Mr. EDIToR,-I have Just received
the Nevada Journal of Oct. llth, 1851.
and was surprised to find my name used
in the columns of your paper in an ad-
vertse over the signature of VIM.
P. Bennett. Mr.. Bennett and myself
were on terms of amity up to the date
of my departure from Nevada, never
having had any difficulty in conse-
Quence of our business transactions. and
feel at n loss to know what his object
can be, unless it is to disguise the fact
that he Bennett, did fraudulentiy rep
resent to b. Phelps, Esq, that ho held
note upon me which was duo and un-
paid, thereby inducing Mr. Phelps TO
agree to pay said note, notwithstanding
h., Bennett, had received the money.
and receipted against said note before
he made such fraudulent Representations
to Phelps, as from comparison of the
date OF such receipt, with the date ct,
the agreement between Rennott and
MIR Phelps, will fully appaar At the
request of Mr.. Pine ps, | left said re-
ceipt in his possession, which NAV be
seen at any time, by nny one making
application. But must state II few
more facts Sin or er that it may he seen
who is that kind Of business man that
has discovered mode Of turning t.
account, twice or three times over, Tint
which he himself may owe md per
hafs they may throw some GIT upon
that question of veracity1 as also that
fraudulent intent"
Then, first, it is fact that the arorc-
said VIM. P. Bennett did oan me 5000,
for which | executed a note il the
words and figures following Due Vii
liam 7. Bennett the SUM OF two hun
d ed dollars, for value receivel Neva-
da city, May 2Sth. IS5l. Benjamin r

seen at tho Nevada Journal Office.
Secondly, it is fact, tho, did pay
$50 on the note worry soon after it WAS
drawn, as viii more fully appear by II
certain order also at tn Journal Office

VIM. P. Bennett
1t is fact, that VIM p Bennett and
myself did in the month Of July, become
interested as partners in saw mill, and
that afterwards to wit about the 9Th
day of August, 1851, sold lay interest
in said mill to-Mr G. w Woodson. 1t
is also fact, that my receir: to Wood
son for the purchase money, did express
and show upon its face, the extent oE
my interest as sold to Woodson, in rear
ly, IT not absolutely. these words
Which interest is understood to BE- 70.
the extent of all monies heretofore raid
to William P Bennett by me, cxcep.
the sum OF two hundred dollars; which
was in discharge of promissory note for
that sum executed by me to said BEN
nett" as may be seen by inspection Of
the receipt now in Mr. Woodson's hands
Consequently, it is not fact, as stated
by MIR. Bennett, that sold to Woodsoh
as 1t stood with its liabilities, including
the 1900 note
1t is fact that the statement 0i Ben
nett, in relation to the trade butween
MIR. Phelps and myself is false as any
one may learn, on application % Nr.
Phelps,
In conclusion, the aforesaid Bennett
says, Il have nothing to fear from aves-
tigatlon, for have no further to go han
to his own clerk to bear me out n what

fact that my "own clerk did off 10
