The New York Herald's Fabrications.
--Alluding to the assertion of the New York
Herald that the ‘ "Richmond
Dispatch gives a terrible record of the rebel loss of officers at the
battle of Fair Oaks,"’ &c., &c., the Petersburg
Express, of yesterday, says:
‘
A greater lie
Bennett never fabricated.
As an evidence of its mendacity, we find on the first page of Wednesday's
Herald, under the heading. "Interesting from the
South," captious extracts from the Richmond
Examiner and
Enquirer, Lynchburg
Republican, Petersburg
Express, Jackson
Mississippian,
Vicksburg Citizen, and Atlanta
Intelligencer, but not a line from the
Dispatch. It is scarcely probable that
Bennett would have omitted such a paragraph, had the
Dispatch been in his possession containing it. When such desperate means are resorted to, the
Lincoln cause must be on the want.
