A Fraud Exposed.

A few days ago a secession sheet of our acquaintance, conspicuously paraded the following paragraph in its columns, as coming from the Chicago Tribune:

"Give us a rebel victory. Let our armies be destroyed, Maryland conquered, Washington captured, the President exiled and the Government destroyed; give us these, and any other calamities that can result from defeat and ruin, sooner than a victory with McClellan as General."

We exchange with the Chicago paper referred to, and had never noticed such a paragraph in it, and we felt so certain that the pretended quotation was a fraud and a libel that we sat down and enclosed it to the editor of the Tribune, and asked him if it could be possible that such a sentiment had ever emanated from his pen. He promptly replied, by yesterday's mail, that "nothing of the kind ever appeared in the Chicago Tribune, and the sentiments which it expresses are directly opposed to all the Tribune has advocated since the war began. The pretended quotation is an invention of the enemy. There is not an iota of truth in it."

We trust that our readers will make a note of this exposure and be on their guard against such fraudulent work in the future.
