We learn that the correspondence Of "G's."
from Brookville, in our last issue, contained
low personal fling at a respectable citizen of
that place, which would not have found place
in the columns of the JOURNAL had we even
suspected the nature of the article. The col
umns Of the JOURNAL are not Oren for anony-
nous writers to give vent to their personal
spite. We desire our correspondents to con-
fine themselves to such local news items as
will be creditabIe to their locality, and espec-
tally to avoid writing that for which they are
not held responsible.

Let Saline county take the stand in this great

other county In the State. We understand
that the McGibeny family will sing several Of
the most recent and popular Temperance airs

Without cause or provocation thepocal edi-
tor Of the Herald lone G. Il. Nunnelly), in the
issue of that paper last week, made 4 lying,
infamous attack upon Que of the editors Of the
JOURNAL. Nunnelly flies at us in an article
strikingly similar to that written by one TheO.
Wilson, whom Hanna employed to attack us,
about three years ago. Wilson proved him.
SELF as we then predicted, first-class fraud
What will be the end of this fellow who has in
the style of his article been Wilson's prototype

We have resided in this community eleven
years, and have, or ought to have. by this time
established an average good or bad character
such character as cannot be affected either
for the better or worse by an adventurer, who
has established no character, and by his own
admissions and declarations makes it appear
not our intentions to I'LL our columns with a
defense of our character, when the circuu-
stances Of the case do not require 1t.
