Reliability Of the Delaware ''Ga-
zette's" Statements.
In the issue of Nov. 18th, it states
that your correspondent "Pro Bono
Publioo," twas an officer in thirty
days company at Bush river" There
is not one word of truth in the sentence
above quoted. He was in the service
Of the T. s. for nine months, and was
detailed for special service In Virginia,
being on duty at Fortress Monroe,
City Point and other points on the
James River. And he holds an hon0ra-
BILE discharge from the U.S.Government
as an officer, received at the expiration
OF nine months service. He did not
say one unkind word Of J. Parke Pos
ties, who was an excellent soldier,
and performed his duty faithfully
whilst in the service Of his country,
and the now w-Adjutant- -Generaldeserves
great credit therefor, as he is one Of
the very few democrats from this state,
who took prominent part In suppress
sing the Rebellion.
