NUMBER
Pubasshins our Authority.

On the 9th of February we published a letter
written us by j. B. Wise, an old miner, giving q
most glowing account of the great richness of
newly discovered Methodist Creek Diggings.v
On the 18th March we gave the substance of
letter written us from the same diggings by Mr.
Watknson, lowing to au unusual press of. ad-
vertising that week, we could not find room for
the letter entire,) and which denied almost in
toto the statements of Mr. WISE We are inform
ed that Mr.. Watkinson feels hurt at our making
his name pubIic. "A moments consideration,
however, should convince him that we did right.
Mr.. Wise wrote over his proper signature about
a matter that would naturally interest miners,
and requested us to publish. If his statements
were true, they were calculated to induce min
ers to emigrate to Methodist Creek. If they were
not true, and Mr.. Watkinson had sufficient
friendship for the miners to induce him to con-
tradict them through the same channel in which
they were given to the world, and thus save
many miners much useless expense and travel,
he should have sufficient moral bravery to be
willing to make such correction over his own
proper name. Mr.. Watkinson has no real cause
to feel hurt at our course. The announcement
or contradiction of the discovery of new and
rich diggings, is a matter of too much import
ance to be made public except upon responsible
authority.
