The B. Enquirer informs the public that a writer who some time ago figured in that paper in a long winded Essay, under the signature of "Jefferson," and who is now known to be the no less able than magnanimous Harry Lee, is about to issue another bulletin against Chapman Johnson. It ought to be told that this Mr. Lee is universally despised where his conduct is known, and that, at this moment, he is living under Gen. Jackson's roof, earning his bread by administering to the vanity of his patron.
