"An Explanation."—We have received a communication from "J. P. S.," explanatory of his former article entitled "The Victim," in which he states, in substance, that he did not design to be personal: that it was written as a lyceum essay while attending school in the month of March last, and read as such; that in July last while looking over some of his old manuscripts, he came across this essay which he re-wrote, making a few alterations in the phraseology, but none in the sense or sentiment. We do not publish the article, as it might provoke a reply from "A. M. R.," and we wish to end the controversy.
