For the Dispatch.
two singular facts.

First. That a Richmond newspaper two of whose proprietors hold commissions from the President, should lose no opportunity to decry his patriotism and underrate his abilities.

Second. That the chief editor of said paper, an assistant clerk in the Confederate House of Representatives, should denounce and ridicule the Committee on Military Affairs in that House for reporting a bill which will prevent that, or any other paper, from becoming a refuge for original secessionists from military duty.

These are curious facts. But there remains a fact still more curious. It is, that the paper in question should affect to consider the liberty of the press to be in danger. Q in a Corner.
