THE NASHVILLE LETTER.
From the Charlestown (Kanawha) Courier of April 6.
The Editors of the Richmond Enquirer pronounce the "Nashville letter," a fabrication. "In common with other newspapers we have inserted it. We did not note the paper from which it was copied, nor have we heard its authenticity questioned by any excepting the Enquirer. If it be a fabrication, they have the same light that we have. In their paper of the 22d ult. and in a letter addressed by them to this place, which we have seen, they more than insinuate that the article in question was an original communication in this paper. We pronounce the suspicion false."
