Tue Commonwealth, of yesterday evenin',
id very great injustice to Mr. Haynes, the
Amateurs end all concerned, in its ill temper
ed remarks about readingthe telegraphic news
beti,re the audience, ai well as misstated sev
eral facts That journal says Mr. Hsvnes
• read, at the requestor one ot the proprietors,
• slip diguifiod with the title of Southern Cou-
lederacv Extra, a rehash of the news publish
ed in the Intelligencer Extra at 2 o’clock iu the
afternoon, and in the Commonwealth an hour
Uter both several hours previous to the in-
udent wo are writing ot.”
This extract contains several statements that
are not true. It was not read “ at the request
of one of the proprietors" ot the Confederacy,
vlr C. P. Ifaynt s, the Manager pro tetn ot ths
Amateurs, requested us, of his own motion, to
tarnish him with auy telegrams that we might
receive after night, that he might read them
before the audience. We agreed and did so,
and hence they were read.
It was not “ from a slip dignified with the
title of‘Southern Confederacy Extra;*" but
Irom a manuscript which we had prepared
expressly for Mr. lluyues and carried to the
Atbet am from our office but a tew moments
before it was read from the stage.
It was not a “ rehash of the news published
»n the Intelligence,- Extra and the Common-
''irralii. of that evening; but was received at
the telegraph office here but a short time—say
fifteen minutes previous to its being read trom
the stage at the Atheieum.
Mr. Haynes, before the curtaiu rose, came
before tbe audience and announced to them
that he hud made an arrangement to receive
and read before them any telegrams that
might he received previous to their adjourn
ment. When lie came to us in the aiiernoon
and asked us to furnish him with the tele
grams, we thought ilie request entirely rea
sonable and proper, and at once acceded there-
Exciting news of the deepest interest had
been received in the morning, and further
particulars were expected that night; and it
was no doubt a great satisfaction to the audi-
ence, and enabled them the better to enjoy the
magnificent performance of the Amateurs, to
'eef assured that should any news arrive in
the meantime, they should be informed of it.
Whether it was iu “good taste" or not, ws
leave to be settled by Mr. Haynes and the
editor of the “Commonwealth.” It was no
• bald faced attempt to giveec/«<" to our jour
nal, lmt a compliance with a promise made by
as in pursuance of a request made by the
Manager. In preparing it we made the man
nscript read that it
Southern Confederacy.” This we had a right
t do, for s • it was, and we think it was enti.e-
W proper. We did not quote the full dispatah
i«t length, f if want of time to Jo so; but we
ji&se the most important facts, and stated at
the bottom that “the particulars, as far as re
vived would appear iu the Confederacy next
morning, which was read out as we prepared
■ t It did not occur to us, or to Mr. Haynes
either, that there was any bad taste in it- D
wgs correct and true.
•Mr. W. A Havuea, on reading the dispatch,
tfe-tej ihfct ,i bad been handed to him by the
ettisr ciitcr cx this journal— " ts
We forbear making any comments or indul
ging in any remarks. We only state the facts
and let the public draw their own coucluaions.
j®lT“ The foregoing was prepared night be-
; fore last, to appear iu our yesterday morning’s
I issue, but we were compelled to go to press
1 before it could all be set up.
The “Intelligencer” of yesterday morning
! joins in this ridiculous exhibition of jealousy,
1 and without knowipg the facts in the case,
1 states what is utterly untrue—that it was an
i “ attempt to give notoriety" to one of its co-
| temporaries. It was no such attempt; and we
would advise our neighbor t« know the tacts
before making assertions.
The “ Intelligencer" says : “Ii tbe Amateurs
are to be made the vehicle of advertising any
newspaper iu our ci'y, the public ought to
know it before the crowd assembles.”
We regard this uograeious fling at our pa
triotic,self-sacrificing and laborious Amateurs
as ungenerous and entirely unworty ot a (air-
minded j lurcalist. The Confederacy needs
1 uot to be advertised in this community—par-
■ ticiilarlv before tbe intelligent ladies and gen
| tle.meu who attend the Amateur entertain
ments: lor they are nearly all subscribers to,
or readers of, our journal. We neither asked
nor desired any such notoriety—we don’t need
it, and if we did the gentlemen connected with
the Amateur Club are the last ones that could
be got to do such work. They have other
business to perform -• especially at their en
tertainments. Their, object was to let the
audience know what the news was, and in
doing so it was entirely proper that they should
tell where they got it—-any thing else would
have been improper and unjust to the audi
ence and themselves—let alone all others.
