One Lie stopped
--The New York Herald a few days ago published a false statement concerning the trip of the schooner Daniel S. Williams from Richmond to that port; whereupon the captain of the schooner addressed the following note to the editor:‘ Will you do me the favor to correct a mistake which appeared in your paper yesterday concerning the arrival of the schooner Daniel S. Williams from Richmond, Virginia, in which it is stated that the vessel had been stopped several times by armed steamboats in the river and compelled to show her papers, and the Secessionists uttering bitter curses against the crew and all Northerners, &c? Now I wish to state that I did not make this report, nor was not stopped on the river by armed steamboats, and that the Secessionists uttered no threats or curses against the crew or against Northerners. If the above statement has been made by any one, it has been made by some of the passengers on board, and not by myself or any officer belonging to the vessel, and is without foundation. My report was simply this:--"Schooner Daniel S. Williams, seven days from Richmond, two days from Hampton Roads, with tobacco, consigned to master" Please correct this misstatement, as it has a tendency to injure me in the community of Richmond, where I have numerous friends.
