The Code Of Honor.

The Wedderburn letter has oripina-
ted new and polished school of honor
among gentlemen which is not unwor
thy of some attention. To make all of
its lessons perfectly comprehensive
even to the most uninitiated we will
state the leading features of the pro-
posed new code in as few words as pos
sible. 1t appears simply on rumor
(Which is not always the most correct
mode of gathering or communicating
the truth)that some time ago dates
not given-Governor Kemper and Col.
Mosby, being friends and residents of
the same neighborhood, bad private cor
respondence and conversation together
upon some Of the questions of the day.
Sometime subsequently Governor KEN
per also had private correspondence
with mutual friend of his and Mos
by's, whose name is Captain John Scott,
of Fauquier county. Nobody complain
ed, or had any right to complain, ofthis
confidential correspondence, because it
was strictly of a private nature. Cap
tain Scott destroyed his letter, as he had
an unquestionable right to do, and like
agentleman, as he PROFESSIONALLY is,
he refused to permit it to be published
or its contents be made public use Of.
Col. Mosby, it is presumed and said,
still holds possession of Kemper's let
ter, but like gentleman, has never
published it, nor, in SO far as the public
knows, has never authorized anyone to
publish it or dishonorably use its con-
tents.
Thus stood the matter between these
gentlemen of Virginia emper, Mos
by and Scott-all' personal friends sun
til the appearance of the Wedderburn
letter. 1t was a matter belonging to
and concerning exclusively The three
named gentlemen until they might
choose, by mutual consentto make pub.
lie use of il. Indeed, it is charged and
has not been 1enied that Governor
Walker called on Col Mosby a short
time since and requested to permit him.
self to be interviewed by some newspa-
per man upon the contents Of that pri-
cate matter, and Col. Mostly at once
and under the old code OF honor, very
refused to do So Up to this

WOODSTOCK VIRGINIA.
Thursday Morning, July 9, 1874.

We publish in this issue a letter. fro m
Governor Kemper to the Richmond
Wing, his letters to Col. Mosby, and a
number of comments from the Com
sentative press of the state. Governor
Kempers letter is clear vindication
OF himself against the charges brought
against him, and to day he enjoys the
confidence of the mass of the conserya
tive voters of Virginia. His letters to
Col Mosby, though of a private char
acter and not intended for publication,
show that in accepting the nomination
of the conservative convention, he ac-
cepted the platform which that conven-
ton adopted. The state of Virginia
under the guardianship Of Kemper is in
safe hands, and the confidence of the
people in one who w:s true in her hour
of greatest danger, cannot be destroyed
by the efforts Of him who was against
us then and whose connection with this
effort to injnre Governor Kemper and
the party of which he is leader is vet
TO be explained.

AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT.
In our issue of the 29th we stated
that the charge that Governor Walker
had started the ''teinpest" was untrue.
1t was intended to add Gas Mr.. Wed
derburn declares" but the words were
inadvertently omitted. Of course we
were speaking by information, as we
had no personal knowledge Of the mat
ter, and being unsuspicious ii, the case
we accepted Mr.. edderburn's tele
gram as full denial OF Governor Wal
ker's connection with it, not observing
that the language was so framed as to
make it merely an abnegation of his
authority for the statement of facts, and
not OF his connection with their phbli
cation.
Some of our contemporaries having
been also led into mistakes, and having
found out the true state of the case we
feel constrained to give it, in Justice to
all concerned, and more particularly to
Col. Mosby. The Bedford Sentinel.
and perhaps other papers, have refer
ed to Mr. Wedderburn as friend of
Col. Mosby's, leaving the inference
strong that he procured the publication
by his ''friend." This we know to be
mistake. Mr. w. is not now and
never has been either personal or DO.
Iitical friend of Col. M. He is, howev
er, strong friend Of Governor Walk
er, who first brought. to Col. Mosby's
attention the articles in the Rch>
mond Whig,in relation to the Scott let
ter, and suggested that they demanded
a reply from him. This Colonel Mos
by declined to make unless Governor
kemper himself should come out in CD
position to him. Colonel Mosby did
not see MI. Wedderbun until after the
letter was prepared for publication,
which letter was read to him by Mr.. W.
While not recediug from an, thing he
has stnted in this connection, Col. Mos
by had nothing to do with the pu5sica-
ton of the letter. hs,sing positively de.
clined to furnish Governor Walker and
Mr.. Wedderburn with the letters OF
Gov. kemper for shat purpose. He ex
pressed himself warmly, 1t is true, un-
der sense of wrong at the taunts of
the Wig. but amid it all honorablv
presel we'd his good faith,- and viii come
out of this "fiasco' very creditable. In
deed, Colonel Mosby has in chiyal-
rous spirit, an'. even regretting TIE
trouble, agreed with friend of Govern
or Kemper, from Richmond, to give up
the letters to the Governor for such use
az he chooses to make of them. This
agreement was made in the city last
night. @
