Correspondence of the Dispatch.


ID is stated that Professor kinkle, the pseudo
German Patriot, has appropriated the "rini,"
or in other words, the muniicent donations
which ne obtained in this country (for the os
aensible purpose of effecting the liberation of
his kindred and brethren in the Old Country
from bondage yiie) TO the purchase of Il bre1
evy al Southampton, England.
Whether the statement is true or false
cannot determine; but the act itself would be
IN keeping with the character Of these timer
ant philanthropists and patriots, who, taking
advantage Of the enthusiastic nature of our
country men, III all themselves of every fitting
opportunity TO impose upon the credulity of
our people, and prey, like hurpies, upon their
generosity and egregious gullibility.
If the report is true, kinkle is not the only

himself and family in Eng gland, whence he will
ever point to us, as nation OF arrant fools,
and most stupendous dupes.
We rejoice to see that he is fleeing the
Yankees in admirable style; we trust this is

The Daily Telegraph of this city, established
rs a neutral paper, or the editors allege, on
she "independent plan" is now an out and out
supporter and eulogist of Gen. Scott. The
editors have truly assumed an independent
attitude; but whether the hasty abandonment
Of that neutrality heretofore observed in regard
to pb,iticai matters, will inure to the interests
OF the concern, the lapse OF few months will
show.
Many attempts have been made in this CITY
10 publish neutral penny paper, but it has been
ms often demonstrated that the population was
not sufficient to sustain the enterprise. The
sntirng energy and industry exhibited, how
ever, by the projec of the Telegraph"
and the talent displayed in its editorials, gave
syery assurance that this last experiment
would prove highly successful; such, at least,
was the wish and prayer of oil our citizens ;
but the neutral garb has been DOTTED, and the
sacy, spicy Telegraph, now wears the livery
Of the partisan.
Both Houses have adjourned over TO Mon.

10 mature the business before them.
Senator Hunter will, at an early day, learn.

OF the salaries, according to the labor and re-

Is loudly called for by every just and righteous
consideration. 1t is affect as deplorable as it is
