staunchest and most courageous friends i'll the
North. Many Of readers will doubtless have
heard the story that, during the war, Mr. W. re-
ceived for his services to the Confcderacy u
check from Canada for $1,000. This article will
explain the whole matter:
The annexed article, which we publish entire, is
from the Tribune Of Wednesday last It contains
an extract from letter IN the World OF February
& furnished under the date of Washington, Janu-
ary 81. AS the ibellous matter in this letter has
been sanctioned by the Worlds publication OF it,
the part ofthe editor, It is very evident thai the
malicious intention Of the inventor Of the false
hood has been willingly seconded BY Mr.. Manton
Marble. The comments of the Tribune are not
less unfair, and the Misrepresentation and SLAM
der, in respect to the matter which it drags for
ward, equally reprehensible
We refer at once to the Tribune's article, and
shall then proceed to notice tho ibels of both
Journals in all essential points .s ;5g.
