the writer of tho letter under considcrt-

OF making heavy attack upon this place,
they are not asses enough to communicate
the design to every uincompoop that
chooses to enquire. But ii they are ever
enabled TO do SO, the large liberty extended
To traitors to 60 IN Richmond without him

to RI ,hmoud just as we'll as he can go to
Bos,,a, and letters are conveyed 10 and
from with ths same facility almost. M
letters ever leave Richmond unless mailed
by those prominent in the rebellion, anil
nobody ever leaves there who would be
apt To give any Information calculated to
iLjure the rebel cause. They thus have {"
plain advantage, which must result 10 their
decided benefit. Irthis matter is worthy
OF any attention, the sooner ii receives it,
the better.
