The following correspondence from the Louisville Journal explains itself:--

University of Virginia, May 17, 1861.
Prentice:
Stop my paper; I can't afford to read abbolition journals these times; the atmosphere of Old Virginia will not at all admit of such filthy sheets as yours has grown to be.

Yours, &c.,

George Lake. To Editors of Louisville Journal.

I think it a great pity that a young man should go to a university to graduate a traitor and a blackguard — and so ignorant as to spell abolition with two b's.

G. D. P.

--Vincennes (Ind.) Gazette, May 25.
