Hon. Isham G. Harris—We regret that an extract from the Louisville Journal, containing a gross and palpably-false libel upon the integrity of Governor Harris was inadvertently published in our issue of yesterday. The source whence it emanated was a sufficient evidence of the mendacity of its assertions, and we are by no means to be considered as intending to attach the least credit to the malicious slanders it contained. Few, if any, have a loftier opinion of the high honor and the unimpeachable integrity of Gov. Harris than ourselves.
