MR, SPENCE'S WAR NOTES.
TO TUB EDITOR. .Sir,—Mr J. Thornton Stewart's peculiar style oi reasoning is if nothingelse. He avers that I bffve erred in mixing facts with propheirfes. If I have done so" it has been he who has given me the lead. In his first letter your correspondent charged Mr SpsnceV critics, myself among the number, with not liking the truth as painted by iMr Spenoe. As a matter of fact, otir criticism was levelled chiefly at Mr Spence-'a gloomy predictions, and not at any facts he gava us. Mr Stewart has admitted, that Mr Spence waa out in his prophetic utterances, therefore hia fir#t letter condemning our criticism should never have been written. I, along with otfier correspondents, maintained it was hanmiul to the community to be led to expect disasters beiore they actually occurred, and when Mr Stewart tries to make it apear that we criticised facts, well, it is he who is trying to evade the point at issue, not I. —I am, etc., J. R. Roxirtman. September 25.
