THE SOUTHERN CROSS AND ITS COROMANDEL CORRESPONDENT.

We have no desire to fall out with or dispute statements which have been furnished by a correspondent to any journal ; but there appears something altogether so far from the trur.h in Wedaesday's itsue of the Southern Cross with respect to the Union Beach Mmmii Company that we are compelled from our own knowledge of things, to give the statement a direct and most emphatic denial The sender of the message could have but one object in view, and that is to damage the mine for some motive either of personal spleen or for the purpose of self agrandizement. No one has ever been refused to go down the mine. Stoping from the winze is not going on The mine has never been represented in any special manner to be a good thing, but has been allowed to speak for itself. We do not blame the Cross management for being made the tool of a correspondent, so long as it remains in ignorance of the motives which actuate him. But when the whole district of Coromandel is able to pronounce the telegram which has been sent to that journal to be without foundation of truth, then we must at once transfer the blame to those who af berward retain such a man in their service. — C'oroinandel Mail,
