Rumors and incidents.

The Philadelphia Press contains the following:

Mr. Editor: In your paper of the 1st instant is inserted a copy of a letter to a mercantile house in our city, from A. C. & A. B. Beech, of Nashville, promising to make an effort to pay their Eastern indebtedness when the war is over and the smoke of battle clears away; until then, nothing can be done!

As an offset to the above, do us the favor to publish, side by side, the following patriotic letter of Morgan & Co., Nashville:

Nashville, April 23, 1861.
Gentlemen: Enclosed find check of the Union Bank, on Manhattan Co., New York, for three thousand dollars. We would have remitted more to-day, but could not procure the exchange. We intend to meet all our engagements promptly, war or no war! Repudiation is not the weapon we fight with, if fight we must, which God, in His infinite mercy, forbid.

Your friends,

Morgan & Co.
