To the Editors of the Dispatch: GENTLE.


MEN-In the report of the proceedings of the State
Temperance Convention, published in your paper
of the 9th instant, we observe the following
ton made by Mr. Sturdvsnt of Richmond:
''Sresrns & Brummel, Distilers, have changed
the brand Of their casks, the article sold by them
hsd become SO mean that nobody would buy it,"
This has foundation in fact. We put up II
quors under various brands t. designate the oirer
qualities, not for the purpose of deceiving the
uuDilc, using the same brands for period of now
nearly ten years Our business has been constant
ly increasing and will no doubt continue to do So
SO long the people of Virginia prefer dealing
with their own ctz ems. This use of brands is
and always has been, made by manufacturers who
make articles of different grades qualities Ii Is
the custom Of tobscconists, the makers of wooden
and cotton goods and many others. The customers
OF al. these know the brands OF those with whom
they deal. An attempt to impose an inferior arti.
Gle upon the public would be short lived, and
would SO certainly react against the person who
resorted to 1t, that no man or common sagacity
would think of it. little knowledge of business,
and a very little reflection, would have convinced
MIR of this Mr. S further states that "a men was
arrested In Alexandria, having a tin flask OF this
vile STUFF (Stearns & Rrummels whiskey) "and
In the morning the stencil of the whiskey was so
abominabe that they had to open the windows and
doors of the Mayors office" Now it SO happens
that we have never sent barrel of liquor to Alex
andr ia, that market being exclusively supplied
from Baltimore; and, In no case, could Mr. 8 have
arrived at such knowledge OF the fact to warrant
this tstsment. MIR SIS zeal appears to outrun his
dscretior and he has forgotten that no cause how
ever good can be promoted by personal attacks and
caarses of the truth of which re cannot be certain
He furgets there is temperance of speech
as well az of other things We commend TO him a
more consistent practice of the virtue he advocates

THE CITY HoTEL.-Some days since, we learned
from the Charlottesville Advocate that Mr. Parrish
Of that place, had purchased the lease, good will
ana fixtures of the City Hotel of this city from
it's proprietor, Mr.. T. M. B. Roy, and that The es
adjustment would be closed on the 18th inst and
opened assoon thereafter, as convenient to Mr. F.
We haze been informed BY Mr.. Roy himself, that
tnis statement entirely incorrecs-that ne has
! made no sale Of the Hotel to Mr.. F. or any one
else-and that will continue open under his man
agement until q bona foe sale is made and duly
| announced. AS Mr. Roy has great many patrons
and visitors particularly from this section of the
State, and the rumor that his establishment will
be closed on the 18th, may enure to his detriment
those papers who have copied the notice of the
Charlottesville Advocate will please make this cor.
rection.

TIE AxAzoN.-The correspondent of the
Washington Republic is pretty firm in his con.
viction tina, the plan of an expedition up the
Amazon, under command of Lieut.. Porter, is sc
liously contemplated and in progress of ar
rangement. The government, upon being con
sulted, had given its opinion that the upper
States on the Amazon had the right TO ingress
and egress at its mouth, but they had no pow.
er TO transfer their right, and that before the
expedition could be legalsed, il would be ne
cessary for those eng aged in it to denationalise
themselves and become subjects of some OF
the Republics on the upper Amazon. The
correspond ,nt thinks Brazil 10 not to be caught
mapping by this expedition, which it calls "hi
libustering." The Brazilian Minister has al.
ready made enquiries with regard to IT and ne
thinks i, would only delay negotiations Tor
opening the Amazon.
