'1So", Mr. EDIToR:
uS ol An article appeared in
upon issue of the 10th inst, in connection
iP'I'e my release from arrest by Gen. Fren'
u '''e which an inference was made injuriC
that officer. My release was mad,
y y our our from any such cause, but for the l
y m lne that it occurred through a misapprehc
linesI of the conduct of my pickets.
o sur In making this statement | have
ION 10 come a repugnance to justify myself
trlou- public prints, lest my silence might b.
ne So construed into a belief that would
nholy allow so gross defence of my cond,
with the disparagement of the officers
yes IN Army, and TO the injury Of the servi
tlonal JonN W. ANDREWS
