depuiation from the petty oficers and crew OF
the United States shp Guerrlcrc, now lying la the
harbor OF New York, called at this onice yesterday
TO express their Indignation at the publication in
one Of the daily journals OF reports rejecting upon
the commanding oflicer OF their ship. Their views
are set forth in the following COMMUNICATIONS
TO THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD:--
You would confer an everlasting favor on The
OF the Guerrlere by contradictng the iase report
that has been inserted in the New York dii-
| ferent times concerning the treatment To the
on board OF this ship. No doubt the editor OF the
has been informed by some discontentcd person
| aboard that what he published was the truth. But
we, the crew OF the Guerrero are most OF us men
VS. have any grievances to raase about fitreai-
ment that II stated TO captain stevens they VIII be
the public papers The general treatment on board
OF this ship Is according 10 the regulations laid down
to govern the navy. The editor OF the sun asserts
that men have been punished for bringing copies OF
| that paper on board. Such Is not the case. All
papers have free circulation on board the HERALD
having the greatest patronage.
BY inserting this In your valuable paper You will
confer great favor ON the crew OF the Guerrero
for none OF us ike to our crew or officers SLAM
dered by some cowardly sneak who is Circulating
snch fasehoOdS concerning our ship.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
BY inserting the following article In your paper
you viii obige the petty officers and men oil this
ship
II the editor OF Sun Is under the impression that
he is benehing the crew OF this vessel by publishing
false statements from day to day concerning the
Of this snip he Il but poorly paid for his eor,s
but he has succeeded In placing US in false posi-
ton. We were willing to take notice OF the for
mer untruths published in that paper believing thai
the editor knew better but wanted something TO M
space In his valuable journal, until the base false
hood concerning man by the name OF Nelson being
| confined In double irons on bread and water for
bringing on board copy OF the sam, appearing In
yesterdays issue OF that paper, which we entirely
refute, word for word, AZ no man on this vessel was
ever confined on any such charge, and respectfully
request that the editor Will abstain from publishing
any more falsehoods concerning the OF this
vessel, and inform him tnat we are satisfied with
our ship and officers.
