Captain T. p. LeRthers, commander of the
s.eRmer NatcheZ, publishes the annexed re-
ply to a statement made by one Dushane, OF
Vioksbnrg:
STEAMED NATCHEz, OFF YICKsBURG,l
October II, 1871.
In the Vicksburg Times, of this morning, a
steamboat runner, called by that paper zap
tain" DushBne, represents me as refusing a
tree passage to some poor people Just from Chi
cAgo. When Dushane brought these people TO
me for a free passage to the city OF Natehez, l
asked him why he came to me when there
were two other boats at the levee, each OF
which would be in NatcheZ before left this
port? He produced a pass signed by PHI.
sheridan, the house and ba-rn-bUHnef, and l
did say that a pass from him was no recon-
mendation to me, and that a blank slip of pa
per would go further on my boat than any
thing signed by the hend who had burned out
more Southern families than there are house,
less people in Chicago to-day Furthermore,
this same Dushane is a runner for one of the
other boats referred to, and after carrying all
paying passengers to her, brought me a list OF
charity passengers.
To those who know me, no word of explana-
ton is necessary TO protect me from slanderers.
For thirty years the people on this great river,
and In the towns from Memphis to New Or
leans, ave constantly known my lncomiugs
and my outgoings; and they know that besides
the thousands of free passes 1 have given to
in any one year of my life, for the past thirty
years, than Mr.. Dushane and his friends of
the Vicksburg Timas have given altogether
since the day they first numbered the earth.
