time upon which side Capt Charlesworth' 8
company has been fighting"
We have, on two or three occasions, Do
pied that the BELMONT CHRoNrcLE has
ever raised any such question: We have
told the editor Of the Gazette that the. ar.
ticle alluded to by him was written by q
correspondent, and, if our memory serves us
right, that correspondent said nothing
whatever about Capt Charlosworth's com.
pany-but il was the Captain himself he
alluded TO. But, however that may be, the
editor of the CHRONICLE had nothing to say
about it. The editor of the Gazette does
not have the manhood to say so, but,
sneakang, dirty liar that he is, reiterates the
foul SANDER. We tell him again, pointedly
and distinctly, that.he is an INTERNAL LIAR
AND scoUNDREL. .t'f

that manages it thoroughly. Witness the
letters from Esq. Alum, King, and others,
all of whom we're opposed to the Admins
tration when they went into the army. Tn
'6l the Gazette boasted that every man in
Company "A, with the exception of three,
voted against Tod for Governor. Mex.
Fall the matter will be reversed, = only we
doubt il there will be three who will vote
against him. The editor is, therefore, des.
pera.e; and resorts to the most nonstrou,
lies to regain his lost ground.
The editor Of the Gazette had been re.
quested to print letter of Mr.. George w.
Iden-an extract from which appeared in
our columns last week, and which we were
told he had refused to print. 1t appeared
in the Gazette, however, with the following
prefxed to it:
"Wc regret to SEQ that 80 good friend
to his country as the writer Of this letter
should have been made believe that there
are Northern traitors and rebel sympathi
zers' who cry peace, peace, on any terms.
SO far as we know there are none such
amongst us. There are Abolition Disun
ionists all over the North. who are endesv
oring to mislend the soldiers and make
them believe that there are men who are
deslrous to make peace upon any terms
and we are sorry that the writer has been
mislead." -
None such amongst u.s." eh? Stephen

was a meeting Of the political friends of the
St. Clairsville Gazette in Union Square il
the city of New York. Among the speak

editor of the Freemans Journal, and 9th

that of Mr.. McMasters:
