DEAR SIR: thank you for the trouble you
were kind enough to take in correcting some
Of the rumors about me. You are right in
saving that | could not and would not say
anything contradictory Of them. My plan
has always been to try and do my duty hon.
estly and fully, and trust that the good sense
and justice Of the people would give mo credit
for good Intentions, even il my Judgment
should turn out not to have been good.
must confess that regret that the papers are
making so much OF my position here. | do
not deserve tho leaat credit for what am
doing, which 10 nothing more than any one
else should do in my position, and, perhaps,
not done half so we'll rs many others would
do. receive nearly every mail, letters Of

thing will occur to give me chance Of be-
ing relieved Of my present osltion.

1t remains for us to encounter the rebellion

Mr. Phipps Munroe, carpenter, was in
stantly killed yesterday at the morocco manu-
factory of Messrs. Souther & Bany, Harrison
court, Lynn, by having his clothes caught in
a large iron shaft attached TO a steam engine
near which he was making repairs on the
floor. The shaft revulyes at the speed of $50
revolutions per minute, but it was only about
half minute from the time Mr.. Munroe was
caught TO the stopping OF the engine, during
which time, however, the body must
have been carried round and through
a space between the shaft and floor
ing or fourteen inches thirty or forty
times. The first revolution of the body round
the shaft undoubtedly broke the neck and ex.
tingushed life. Mr.. M. had just recovered
from sickness of several weeks, and this was
almost his first job since. He was connected
with ore OF the oldest and most respectable
families Of Lynn. Col Timothy Munroe, late

PLANTATION =
Immediately after the new organization Of
the army into separate corps, Gen. Benker,
dissatisfied with certain a Engagements, wrote
hasty letter of complaint TO Gen. Mcclellan,
for some expressions in which the commander
in-chief rebuked him-expaning, however,
that he understood Gen. Blenker's imperfect
knowledge OF English to have OcCasioned his
error. Gen. Blenker, heated by the rebuke,
proposed TO offer his resignation, greatly 10
the regret OF his brother officers. This is the
whole matter. Gen. Blenke's resignation has
not been sent in, and would not be accepted
If it were. The inlerposition OF various Off
GERS has now removed all difficulties, and the
affair may be considered settled. Gen. Nc
ClelIan expresses The most thorough confidence
in Gen. Blenker, and has shown HIM every
consideration. Gen. Blenker perhaps allowed
himself to be betrayed into needless mpetu
osiiy, but beyond this no fault, however
slight, ID attributed to him."
