The New York Herald Of Saturday contained
the following singular telegram:
WAsHuorox, Oct. 0, 1S63.=The rumors
In regard 70 uovsmsuts In Meadsv atny ase
entirely groqndlsss. No movement Iwhaesver
Of any description has occurred. Amese daily
rumors, intended TO create q sensation, but
without aaay sf0unaat.on wbatsvsPs-ssasGo1sss
copied from WashisSton city paprs.-are circu.
lated In Nav York. Il is Q notlceeble fact
that the statements In the Herald, however
contradicted for the time, have always been
verified. II is tircsome to correct false rumors
Will be 70 rely upon the Rsralds statements,
which are always ascertained TO be true bef6re
publication" ~
The author Of the above dispatch has probs-
bly, learned ere this, II he has read the pspers,
how sadly he blundered when he penned the
two nrst sentsnces about "rumos" ]" and
movements" In Meade's army. The third
sentence, about " daily rumors" " Get ahoat for
sensation " purposes and sometimes copied
from Washington papers" and " circulated IN
New York" We know nothing about. We
Editors Of Washington papers" who dNs, In
"rumors +" and the correspondents who
"copy !" and telegraph than to New York and
their employers there who receive them. -, T..
We deal is FACTS. In times like these We DO
not rely upon street or hotel rumors, for infor-
nation couceruiog movements Of the army and
navy, or anything which relates to the real In
terests Of the Government. Nor do We despise
rumors. They are never "without any foun-
dation." A rumor Is always founded upon
sonlsthi,g-e either truth or error. Often, In this
city, rumor IL the offspring Of wilful and de-.
liberate fslsehood. Because Of this we trace
Washington rumors to their source and either
verify them BY facts or explode them as errors
or falsehoods.
The best evidence In the world that the Ma.
rIosAL REPUBLICAN deals in facts, Il, that the
leading journals In the country are daily sup
piled from its columns with the most impor-
tant and reliable information, from our armies
In the field. This news, which We publish ex-
cluslvely, is usually telegraphed to the princi-
pay papers Of the country from this city. With
q few honorable exceptions we seldom get credl,
for II. o.. .a.
The publishers Of the leading Journals In
New York and other cities East and West, are
not aware that not only our exclusive news but
frequently our editorials have been captured
bodily andtelegrApbed to and published BY them
without one word Of credit. We have obscrved
Il from time 10 time, but made no complaint
We allude to II now In view Of the extraosdi
nary telegram In the Herald, not only on &C
count Of the many gross errors II contains
but because tie very nert dispatch 10 Y, In thi
Herald OF Saturday, about suspending the dsstt
sentence Of private Brawley, appeared thers
word for word % we wrote 1t for the RlPU1LI
CAN, chere Il originally ,cus printed on Friday
On the same day (Friday, the oh Inst, y ",
published an EXTRA containing the latest now
from Chattanooga. The Herald of the neg
morning contained the contents Of our extra
under date Of Washington, without word o
credit. Other papers in New York and else
where recognizing the rules Of courtesy whici
usually govern Jour.4 4iIsis, did as ths Jussic,
to credit the news referred to to ths NAfiosAi
REPUBLICAN. -.1n Us .ss..t. no .f ia
More yet for weeks past We have noticed
our own news and EDITORIAL productions trans
ferred by telegraph to the columns of til,
Herald and other New York papers, Away
appearing amongst their Washington dis
patches. We could bear all thls with the pa
tlence of q philosopher, but for the fact tina
we observe /" our own" bantllngs going tn
rounds Of the country and coming back to us II
our exchanges, credited to the Herald or som
other New York paper. That is whstmight b
considered adding insult to injury.
The author Of the dispatch, which we quot
from the Herald above, says "it 10 noticsabl
fact that the statements In the Herald, how
ever contradicted for the time, have slssy
been verified" Our recollection is exactiy th
reverse of this. lie says "it 10 tiresofns 70 col
rect false rumors daily" We should think
would be. Most of the rumors that We hsv
been called upon to recify were those ths
first appeared In the Herald's Washington dis
: patches. . .a...'.g ,l5.,5 gias no 1s
The correspondents final suggestion, aslt
the safest way" for those who desire relisbl
news, is exceedingly clever and dsssryss III
immediate attention of those who seek III
truth. Great is Diana Of the Enhesiass! : '-d
