"ENvOY's" COMMUNICATION.

In The Sentinel of July 9Th, there appeared a commanl-
cation over the signature of envoy" Envoy is none other
than that we'll known and honored citizen of Tate county, Mr..
M. A. McKinnon. Mr.. McKinnon saw fit to refer to Mr.. New
burgers letter in The Sentinel and what this paper had to say
about his political affiliations. Mr.. Newburger thinks MIR:
McKinnon's reference to him as a "Jewish-German gentleman
questions the sincerity of his loyalty and seriously reflects on
him; indeed Mr.. Newburger expressed himself as being mucn
grieved at "Envoy's" statement. We know ENVOY" too we'll
not to be able to say that he would not needlessly wound any
body, and we are also confident that he used the words above
referred to without meaning in any wise to question Mr.. New
burgers patriotism or his loyalty to the Government.
We are confident that Mr.. Newburger is doing all he
can to support the Government and that he has not been
charged with saying anything before or since the
war that would embarass the President-unless it be
his wish to Sc a man sent back to the Senate who was
bitterly antagopizing him. But unlike the gentleman he says
he hopes Mississippi will reflect, Mr.. Newburger thinks war
ought to have been declared on Germany long before it was.
But the matter of elections aside. We would feel no hest
fancy in underwriting Mr.. Newburgers loyalty, and from in
formation that comes to us, we are satisfied that he is doing all
within his power to aid the Government From what we learn
of his progenitors, there is every reason why he should have
the back of his hand to Germany.
We should perhaps say that Mr.. McKinnon frequently
writes for the press and that it is his habit to have his com
munications appear over the name of Envoy"
