-,1DovroUs REPORTS.

ERRONEOUS AAFVAASs
People seem to be greatly annoyed BY
thc many erroueous reports in relation 10
that in which they are most vitality inter
csted-tho. War-should creep into the
nub1ic Journals. We are not less annoyed
than they; but our annoyance is on their
account, not because NO arc deceived BY
what proves to be untrue In regard to
things done we expect the facts
of course sometimes pervetcd by partizan
feeling, faulty information on the part OF
the narrator, or other potent cause; but in
regard to what Is to Be, a moments thought
will show that VIC have right to be skcp-
teal. The Government, very properly,
keeps its military plans as prolound-
" secret IS possible When the o.
binet and Gen Scott contemplate
IN advance into country occupied by
the enemy, when they are about to
send a detachment to seize m
important point, or ship to blockade
harbor, they do not call the newspaper re-
portcrs and correspondents together and
furnish them with the main fact and de-
tails; and in spite Of the confident assur-
sDccs Of these gentlemen, the public ought
TO know that the study is how to lead them
eff on g false scout and hide what is in
tended until it is accomplished. 4
thousand indications serve often to
show their direction Of events, and
newspaper men arc frequently very shrewd
in "putting this and that together" and
forming an ingenious and sometimes cor
rect theory Of what lnay Happen But
when q report comes by letter or telegraph
that Gen. Scott is to do this next week, or
that certain column is to go there, and
another yonder, to-day, to morrow or On
any otlcr day, We may be sure that he
who sends it is only guessing, or imposing
upon the credulity Of the public.
If lie knows, he does wrong to tell,
because he may forcwarn the enemy; il
lie does not know, his words are Of are Of
Little w:rth-
Our own reporters and correspondents,
and they are many, have frequent 'ar11-
irgs to he particular in their facts and
sparing of their speculations, and on no
account to coniound the two, su That one
may appear to he the other. LII spite
however Of the best Of intentions here
and more than ordinary caution in those
whcm we employ, tile TH1DCSE is not free
from the errors Of statement with which
other respectable journals III these war
times, are afflicted. We print what NC
find that has an mir OF probability in our
exchanges, and Of course, what the tele-
graph brings, without youching for or de-
pying the truth Of what other papers or the
wires assert. Much is rumor and much IS
speculation; but the careful reader remem-
bering that military plans arc aot livulged
to the public, will heye little difficulty in
Distinguishing both from the ruth.

Messrs. VANDERVOORT, DlCkERSON & CO.
GExSLEMEN:-In answer to your letter Of
June 18th, enclosing letter to your house
from Mr.. NJ. Is. Harden of Abingdon, dated
June l4th, wonld say that after left your
store l called at the establishment Of june, and
inquired of them the lowest price they would
sell me four-ton Scale and mentioned at the
same time that had been looking at the
Ilowe's Scales, thought something Of purchas-
ing one Of them. Mr.. Greenleaf then gave
me their prices aud spoke Of Howc's Scales
10 being . very imt erfect and poor Scale, and
that there were many Of them that would not
work, and mentioned 70 me that Scale near
BY whore lived Vas badly out Of order, and
would mot work 1t all. This Scale, he said.
Wa q Abingdon, Ill, and had been bought
BY Mr.. N. B. Harden, and was worth nothing
for weighing and had been abandoned; ~ Of
which tended to discourage me from purchAs-
ing the Howes Scale, and after mentioning
this matter 10 your Agent, NJ. Hooker, and he
denied the same, and stated TO me that Mr..
Greenleaf was not man Of veracity, 40 he
had detected him very recently in several
falsehoeds, began to doubt his vcracity.-
Since have seen the letter from Mr.. N. B.
Harden, of Abingdon, dated June 18th, am
inclined to think it was all said by Mr.. Green-
leaf for the purpose Of discoursging me, aud
that it was FALSE, - the enclosed letter Of
Harden is in contradiction to Greenleafs
statement to me, and thiAk this unfair course
Of competition ought 10 DO discountenanoed,
% there 10 nothing like fair play and truth in
trade. Hoping this explanation Il sstisfac-
tory,

talk with G. E. Hayes tho clerk Of the

him right he says that he was not at
the meeting when the delegates were
chosen, and that he did not write the
church letter, and other members that
we're at the meeting say that G. f.
Hayes and J. Bishop were chosen dele

was forgery unless he can show
