Tic New York Tribune Gays that "a silly |
''Ch1cago paper dcnounccs itfor representing |
" Hooker's late demonstration across tho
"Rappahannock in too gloomy colors." 1t |
thercupon proceeds to fatter itself on allow
Its correspondents to say what they please,
and for printing the came without pruning or |
doctoring. This will do to tell the marines; |
but the truth is, that the army letter In ques-
tion, pitching into Gen Hooker, Was inserted !
in the Tribune without the sanction Of the
responsible editors" and when discovered
by them had already been worked off in part
Of tho edition, when the press was stopped,
and the offensive passage expungcd. No
copy Of the Tribune reached Washington or
the Potomac Army containing the attack on
Gen. Hooker. But some Of the advance cop
les 1en into the hands Of the agent OF the nsso-
clatcd press, and through that medium, the
structures we're telegraphed all over the conn
try, So much for the boast that the Tribune
prints exactly as We receive 1t, every letter
sent Us by our reporters on the spot :
Talking about newspapers Induces me to
devote the remainder of this letter to the
came topic.
It is reported on pretty good authority, that
Thurlow Weed owns controlling interest in
the National IntsHgeneer, and that he will
publish 1t as conservative Union' paper,
with which to give aid and comfort to the
Copperheads, and embarrsss the Government
Eo fur as he can. It is said the paper will be-
come the organ Of the contractors, plunderers
