Aspprssslon OF a Newspaper.

Yesterday afternoon Major General Lew.
Wallace, CommAndApt OF the Middle Depart
ment, issued an order prohibiting the further
publication ofthe ESsains 7ranseript, published
by Mr.. William u. Nelson, on Baltimore street,
near Gay, on the charge OF dlsloyalty, In pub
fishing as a tolegraphlc dispatch a statement
giving RrosSly exaggerated estimate OF the
losses of the Army OF the Potomac, aud cred
iting the came To tho Associated Press CORE
spondent at Washington, thereby seekiuR to
establish its reliability. The dispatch read as
follows;
"wAsurNoroN, May 15.-I have no facts to
send you. The report that great battle was
In progress yesterday Il not believed. AZ to
the result Of the ten days hghting, we have not
Lost In killed, wounded, and missing less than
seventy thousand men. ."-daoeidtcd Press.
This statement, put forth as with the sane
tion OF the associated press, attracted much at
tentlou, and was speedily circulated through
the city by the disloyal readers Of the Trans
erfpt, and eagerly accepted az truth, and as an
evidence that our army had virtually suffered
q defeat.
The report reached Headquarters, and there
excited much surprise. The attention OF the
Agent OF the Associated Press 10 this city was
called TO the publication by various parties,
and he Immediately pronounced II a forgery,
claiming, on behalf Of the Associated Press,
the authorship OF any such statement.
General Wallace on Tuesday summoned the
editor OF the Transcript TO account for the ma.
llclous paragraph, who, In Justification, said
that he obtained II from Philadelphia Sunday
paper, either the Trdnseript or Mercury.
At the request OF Gen. Wallace, the agent oi
the Associated Press at Philadelphia was tele
graPhed on the subject, who stated that sIch q
stdtenssrl was made by the Sunday Mercury o.
that city, but It was not by that paper credited
to the Associated Press, nor was II furnished
to the paper by any agent Of the association
as the paper In question did not take the Asso
ciated Press news. Thus II was proven thn
the attaching OF the words Associated Press Il
the statement was the act OF the edtSr Of tn,
| Evening TrdRseript here, and being viewed al
an evidence OF a disloyal effort TO prejudice tn,
cause Of the Government by publishing al
evidently gross eIaggTAtion of tho lOsses Q
our army, the commanding General deemed |
his duty TO Suppress the further publication o
tho paper by the issue OF the following order
