Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1863-05-21

Co.,
Perhaps Yes, Perhaps, Moi
sAooi In the late1ligeaceat of the 10th inst,
some one has taken the liberty to make
a pretty free use ofln article thata appeared
% in. the CHRONICLE of the same week,
aaa and in connection with the use of the
sae article in question, the name, of Bro.
CowEN is brought up once or twice
We have no notion of being offended at
this, nor have we, any objection to quota
tons taken from anything that may APP
q p pear in the columns Of the CHRONICLE,
Ssifproyiding tbs done honestly and not
with the intention of garbling and mis-
- construction. There is a miserable dis
position existing among editors and wri-
a.rrters in newspapers to bully and black
guard one another, and to garble. and
cut up. paragraphs to make each other
=. say what was never intended to be
said This is one of the things weloathe
IN and one of the things which we have
boo made up our minds to detest, as long as
-so We have any little bit Of sanity left.
,s,a Its said in the article in the hteHt-
sisf 'gencer referred to: 'sBut the tone and
ss# temper of Bro. CowEN's article referred
to above, seems harbingerA Of better
y things" What better things? Has
Il, Bro. CowEN and the CHRONICLE been
gl3 lying, and giving currency to stories
gv about the war, about fights, about yicto-
49, RES, about successes that were not true,
nay, verify! BRo. ,CowEN is not Of the
sort to go at pumping gas for the sake
-dsaof sensation--to go at manufacturing
aav blarny to apologize for the wretched
4e blundorings of generals who are mere
"a, bunglers at war, nor has he any disposi-
ton to vindicate the mean deeds of any
party, or party policy, when his inner
ia convictions tell him that such deeds are
mean, and miserable, and weak, and
wicked and this is one reason why Bro,
s CowEN and the CHRONICLE don't find
more favor in the eyes of those-of all
parties who want to raise dust SO as to
dupc the people. It may be that the
Htelligcncer, and they who write for it,
rs have arrived at perfection, perhaps, they
know how everything should be done,
and when it should be done, an2 who
should do it, and perhaps, they know
all about the true stone that every ar
ticle in newspaper should have in order
to make the right music in these times.
Any how they seem to say, that that ar
e. ticle in the CHRONICLE, from which they
quote, is ''harbinger Of better things,
simply, as we take it, because the arti-
Gle said that HooKER's big battles were
not series of very brilliant victories,
% and that the stories that would make
them big victories, were mere spludge
To be honest, what could Bro. CowEN
say other than that, and there are many
ea other things that Bro. CowEN might
BE- have said, that he did not say The
CHRONICLE wants to be honest and fair,
and to say what it believes to be true I;
there are things that the Chronicle may
% yetsay, thatmay be quite as healthy toned
as anything yet said and we hope the
-sInHHiyencer will earnestly circulate
healthy toned articles also, and it may
be that the hteHegencer and the enRoN-
!. IcLE will be of some use in the world.
I'd. BY thelbyshow is it that the Iate5H-
io geacerz don't come to the CHRONICLE
office now? The copy that We quote
from we had to beg.
