also told the officer that on the nj hit Of
iho commission Of the offence, he watch
ed the officer on duty, and after twelve,
removed the goods-that ho entered the
store through the sky-light
Upon hearing the proof w. G. BRIES,

PENDANT was guilty as charged Mr., b.

Who's Charlie 2


In the Freenan's Jauy7iaL yenomous
little weekly rebel print Of Gotham, a
stray copy Of which has reached us, is
an epistle from this city, dated January
18th, and written by some blatant igno-
ramus signing himself "CHARLrE." Not
having the ability to conceal his malice
OF our Government be represents matters
in this (army) department as being in
critical condition; has "RosEcRANs con-
SANITY hsrFsssed in front and rear" and
speaks of "Massa ANDY JOHNSON" and
other notables with that loose fiippancy
which indicates his having graduated in
the Deighborhood Of the Bowery or Five
Points. "CHARLE," whoever he may
be, is a genius possessed of a splendidly
developed talent for falsehood, for be not
only has ringers on the Notifications
lashed to log and horsewhipped on the
bare back" till they arc dead, but magni-
fies the cocl-boAt SideH into first class
frigate, which latter he has FoRREsT sink
with feet of "slore ships" on Harpeth
Shoals. De Sauty, the ubiquitous operator
of Atlantic Telegraphic notoriety, was no
myth; the "man that struck BILLY PAT
TERsoS" has been recognized, but we
question if any person outside the Free
man Office can locate the illiterate com :
piler Of nonsense and falsehood whose
nom de plume heads this paragraph.
