The Dyersburg Progress says: 1.-THE
papers are generally denouncing the
sentiments uttered by General Preston
in his speech at the University of Vir-
ginia. We heard him, three or four
years ago, address an institution oflearn-
ing in which, from all accounts, the
same sentiments were uttered, il not the
same speech. Evidently at that time
the prejudices engendered by the war,
instead of having died out, had increased
in strength and Bitterness The Pro-
gress doubtless refers to the speech Cen
eral Preston delivered in June, 1868. be-
fore the Jefferson and Washington IL
brary societies of the University Of Viz
ginia, but "that the same sentiments, if
not the same Speech" as this one deliy- 4
cred before the Alumni of that institu-
ton is totally untrue. We were there
and heard that speech, and the Progress
is mistaken "from all accounts"
