THE KIND OF NEWS THAT KEErs UP THE COURAGE
or THE REBELS.
From the New Orleans Neta, Nay
For several DAYS past the people of this city havo es-n
greatly agaled by variety OF exciting rumors from thu
Of Marvellous and utterly incredible these
stories II IA astonishing how eagerly thoy
gacious and cocl-hsaded people-how mnutey aud
6nlly they wero contrmed-how many letters and
actual witnessos could he cited to sustain them, and
how ingenousy the testimony was collected and embo
died placing the facts beyond all doubt &c. In
to the inquiries addressed to concerning
these various rumors we uniformly dstrusted and dis
credited them, and advised people to do likewise
We have thought eminenty the duty Of an honest jour
nast 10 arrest and prevent the dissemination OF unau
thentic But regret TO say that efforts
Far recent stories concerned have not been very
successful, and there thousands or peoplo who
believe that there has been great battle on the PENN
sula, In which Lee and Johnston killed, Mcclellan
was taken prisoner, AZ, 600 federals killed,
wounded and captured; that Arlington Heights and WASH
ington city in the possession of the Confederates
Many Other incidents Of inferior character also
reported equally satisfactory evidence Now, We
consider II duty 70 ctzens to truth and history,
TO state from knowledge have, that believe each
and every ono OF those rumors Is utterly unfouDdsd
that there has been no great pitched battle OF the enn
sula, advance on Arlington Heights, capture OF
Washington, killing Of Johnston Lee, capturing
OF Mcclellan and fight at Cornth 10 Sunday last
Finally, we believe that there has not been word Of
truth relative to war operations circulated in this city
for the last week The people ought 10 have better
than 60 about swallowing every idle story that may be
invented and put s1oat.
