The HERALD AND THE NEW YORK AND WASH
NaToN CORRESPONDENTS OF THE COUNTRY PA
PERs.-We have often been amused with the
ridiculous fabrications of the New York and
Washington correspondents of the country
papers, but against anything of this Sort for the
last six months, we will put the following extra
ordinary information to the Charleston Courier,
from its Anticipated New York letter writer
Hear him.
Mr. Buchanan is at the "Soldiers' Home" near Wash
ngton. He sent for James G Bennett of this city short
time ago. The editor went to Washington, and for
several days the honored guest of the President is
pretty well understood that the Object of this visit that
the President could consult fully and freely with the
perenced veteran New York editor upon tho complicated
foreign affairs OF the country and also to obtain the views
OF Mr.. Bennett upon the domestic policy which the admin
istraon should pursue in order to the country from
anarchy and the democratic party from utter destruction
It is we'll known that Mr. Bennett in favor of n rcnomi-
nation of President Buchanan at Charleston and he has
that confidence in the power OF the HERALD that
he is enabled to say to Mr.. Buchanan in ad
vance that he will be nominated Immediately

press OF the United States is confidently asserted that
IL Mr. Buchanan cannot be renominated the HERALD and

and give the Charleston democratic nomination 10 General

to Mr.. Bennett that he would unite and harmonizc the
candidate for Mayor Mr. Bennett consented condition
that the democracy of Tammany Hall would endorse and
nominate him. This, Mr.. Buchanan promised should be
done, and orders were sent to Isaac Fowler to bring
about at all hazards and to bring to bear the whole power
OF the federal administration.
The absurdity of this budget of plumbers re-
quires no answer. The silly letter writer's the
DRY in the premises is upset by the equally rel-
able but conflicting testimony of numerous
other letter writers here and at Washington
some of whom have reported that the object of
James G. Benefits late visit to Washington
was the French mission; some that he went
or to assist Judge Black in his reply to the late
copyright manifesto ofJudge Douglas on squat
ter sovereignty; while others have insisted that
Bennett was not received in Washington at all,
but wandered about the streets. Stunned by
everybody.
The Cheyalier Webb adopts the conjecture of
the mission to France, and thinks there would
be no difficulty about it with any assurance of
2 confirmation by the Senate. In this view of
the subject he was, doubtless. thinking Of his
own case as Minister to Austria. At all events,
we suppose he would be very glad to get

is terribly frightened at the prosperity of the
HERALD, and at the expensive newspaper pro
gramme which we have indicated for the COM
ing winter; and we suspect, at the same time,
that he is one of those magnificent fellows who
spend their cash and their credit without much
regard to their income. Indeed, it is quite
likely that at this moment poor Webb is g hard
up" and pressed to the wall with notes, mort
cages, &C., falling due. Otherwise, we are at a
loss to account for his late crushing onslaught
upon the immoralities of the HERALD and it.
wonderful prosperity, and his appeal to all
'pious Sabbath loving Christians to give us the
cold shoulder.
In all this the Chevalier Webb is only shak-
ing his own basket and calling for contribu
tions. He is surely in bad way, in descend
ing to the common level of those miserable
country newspaper correspondents whose most
-saleable wares are their foolish inventions
malice against James G. Bennett and the New
York HERALD.
