OUR REPLY. &5I
y A retfaction of our article of Sat-
urday is demanded as an act, of JUS.
tice, for the reason that it is false and
slanderous. The facts stated in our
article were 1st, that the ex-Captaino
was placed under arrest and disgraced
in the presence of the command I'd,
that he DETAINED the character of
Gen. HAoKLEMAN. Sd, that he was
publicly branded by Col. PLATTER as /.
q contemplate, cowardiy dog.}
4th, that he subsidized into. Copper
head obscurity, from which he did
not emerge till he was resurrected by
the DUvALL Democracy, and that the
Democracy here had no use for him,
To prove our first, second and third
charges we refer to a report of the ex-
Captains own speech, as reported in
the JOURNAL in 1862, and to Col.
PLATTER's card, found below, which
remain undenied to this day, as far as
we are informed, unless we may so in
terpret the ex-Captain's wild hars
angue at the Restorationists' pow =
on Saturday night. To establish our
fourth charge we are driven to the
necessity. of resorting to very unrelia
BILE testimony-the late Democratic
party.
The ex-Captain cannot justly charge
that our article was an unwarranted
attack upon private individual. We
found his name banded around
among the public journals of Ken
lucky, as assuming to speak for the
Democracy of Indiana, and as there
was desire expressed to know who
DENNIS was, " we thought it our duty
merely to resurrect facts made public
and undisputed four years ago, and
thereby relieve the anxious Kentucky
editors. rs II
We would be more ready to treat,
with greater consideration, the
naughty and chivalrous demand, had
not the ex-Captain seen fit to deliver
himself of a raving and incoherent
mass ofsabuse of the editors of the
Journal at public gathering Of his
party friends. He has possibly read
enough law to know the elemen-
tary principle of equity, that it is
requisite to come into court with

The Recent New York Testimonial to
General Grant.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GENERALS BUTTER
FIELD AND GRANT.
From the Eveniag Post
Prominent citizens of New York have Just
made magnificent present to General Grant,
as q token OF their appreciation OF his national
services. The gift was uominally hundred
thousand dollars, but it amounted to one hun
dred and five thousand, and was conveyed to
General Grant without ceremony by means Of
letter containing list OF the subscriptions and
an account OF the expenditure of a part of the
money for his benefit The amount OF cash
placed in his hands was $l9, 900, and there were
$50, 900 in United States seYen-thirty bonds. 1t
ment, which resulted so creditably to our citi-
Zens, arose from o proposition to cancel
mortg age which General Grant and Mrs. Grant
executed on their house in Washington, 1t was
the property that formerly belonged to Stephen
A. Douglas. The fact that the mortgage was given
came incidentally TO the knowledge of the origl-
nators of the plan; and when the subject was
mentioned this object was so heartily approved
that more than the sum required was almost
Immediately offered. General Butter6eld made
the collections, and the amount soon became
more than a hundred thousand dollars. The
mortgage bond was cancelled, and General
Grant has the remainder of the contributions,
raise. The following is the correspondence:

Ben. Wade's Private Opinion of the
President.

Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.
The private opinions entertained and ex-
pressed by Ben. Wade concerning the President
are not any better than those he gives vent to in
public speeches. He made use of the following
tree speech yesterday ;--'I had known Andy
johnson q long time in the Senate. He and
had served on the same committee, and had
become very intimate. When he became Presi-
dent he sent for me among the first, aud told
me he should expect me to be his friend, and
that he would be glad to take counsel OF me. /
told him felt very much fattered by his com
pliment. and would always be glad to give him
what little assistance l could. He asked me
what he had better do with the Rebels, and
told him he had better hang eight OF, ten
of the leaders, and scare the balance so as
they would run away, and to leave an
open door for them TO get out az He said he
thought he would do that. / told him to
tighten the bit on the scoundrels, as Lincoln
had been driving them with too loose rem.
He agreed TO that too, and l thought for
awhile he was going 10 stick to it. Before left
him told him to be warned by the fate OF Fill
more and Tyler, who had come to the Presidency
very much as he had. Said I;-There never
was man in your position made President by
the death of another, that the men who voted
against him didn't try to get hold Of him, and
whenever they're sold out they've damned
themselves eternally. johnson looked at me
when said this, and asked me If i had any
fear about his going over to the opposition.
told him hadn't, but said l, you must look
out tor them, and be prepared for them He
laughed at me, and soon after / left him.

The ST. Louis Steamboat LOsses-Addi
tiOnal Particulars

ST. LOUIS, February 26.-At ten o'clock to.
night a ire broke out among the boats lying at
the section of the leVee appropriated to New
Orleans steamers. 1t totally destroyed four OF
the largest and finest boats on the Western
waters, namely the LeUidthda, Dictator, Lana,
and PritOnd. Over 10000 people thronged the
leyee to witness the disaster. The flames lighted
up the river for miles, and the spectacle was a
fearful one when thewheels and ehimneys OF the
burning boats went crashing with noise like
thunder into the water.
The Ere caught accidentally in the coOk-house
of the PritOnd. The Lima had just arrived from
New Orleans with a cargo. The Dictator was
receiving freight for that city. The PTit0nd and
Leui0hdn had little or no loading Several piles
OF freight on the levee were burned or damaged
The Whole loss by the disaster is estimated at
$4,000. The Dictator was owned and chiefly
insured ia Pittsburg The other three belonged
to the Atlantic and Mississippi Company, which
has encountered such tremendous losses this
season by ice, Are and explosions. Meme OF
Che boats we're insured. The pilot of the Prt-
| t0nd, in jumping off Of the boat had his leg
broken.
