OUR CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE FRONT.

' : i In justice to our own correspondent, we feel ; I bound to state, that whatever incorrect and in- ; j accurate accounts of events which have taken ' i place at the front- may have crept into our ' i columns, they have not been forwarded by him, ; ; and that he is not responsible for anything pub- ; i lislied concerning affairs at the front unless the • article is acknowledged as coming troui him. It , • is just because the Auckland journtds cannot ; | always receive news from their accredited re- ! sponsible correspondents, that absurd reports at i times obtain circulation. Despite the orders of • the General, letters must have left the camp lor | one of the journals, as they were published ; yesterday Morning. If it is really considered ; advisable, which it may be in certain cases, to ; issue .-ucb an order, it should be enforced i against all alike. •
