In 81 MS" calm and logical epistle to the
Advertiser touching a recent article IN this
paper on the Senatorship, he said. "My in
dienation-my amazement, might say-pre
vented an immediate answer. was afraid to
trust myself" 1t appears, however, that he
did write in the first parox ysms of his wrath,
and copy of his first letter, afterwards pru-
IDENTIFY suppressed, has been forwarded to us
by friend for publication. This friend as
sures us that the appearance Of the original
was such as to appal the stoutest heart and
eyes trained even to the terrors of ~. Ms
usual manuscript. 1t was, like the letter final
ly printed, addressed

Governor Chamberlain of Investigating the cru

whom most solemnly and on my conscience
aver to be a man before whose gigantic stat

perncious scoundrel will deny the physical,
no doubt, but who minds these .fellows p Co.

BOUNDS! And this yernain of the PRESS
says that Gov Chamberlain in his lectures
| gives himself credit for surrounding and cap
turing Lee by his own unaided Efforts
against the protest OF Gen. Grant and the en-
tire Army of the Potomac afterwards incl
dentally taking in hand Johnston, Kirby
Smith and the rest of 'em.
| The PRESS also asserts that Gov. Chamber
lain has recently proclaimed in his lectures
that Gen. Won Moltke of the Prussian army is
indebted to him for the suggestion of the brill
liant strategy which has enabled the Prussian
army to overrun France since the middle of
July.
DENY EVERY WORD OF IT! Gov. Chamber
lain said no such thing. 1 was present mayself
on the platform the last time he lectured, and
delicate]y intimated to the audience where ap-
plause was due by vigorously drumming on
the resounding boards with my trusty umbrel-

ty Of Saying to him that he had not donel him
seFjustice. He looked surprised. ''You are
afraid to speak of your own doings as you
Ought" said; "the same false delicacy has
been the ruin of me during the whole of my
somewhat too busy life.'' The reply was, ''No,
not.dfraid," and he smiled SO as to render the
mans whole character antaneously trans
parent, SO that observing him, and looking
through his waistcoat, I could see the tao but
tons on the Jack of his coat behind, as plainly
as Scrooge saw the buttons of the defnnct Mar
ley.
The gro0eling acretGa of the PREss cannot
stomach Gov. Chamberlain's "bugle CALI

"gods.') What soould the man have! Did not
Gov. Chamberlain hear Gabriers buge call,
| and obey it too, thousands of years ago, when
the procession of the Equinoxes first began,
(I claim to be the first discovered Il might say
invented-the procession of the Equinoxes) and
does he not do aoeN to do noao when he is in0it
