We are informed that the enemies of Col. Desha, are endeavoring to impress on the public mind the belief, that he had some agency in the bailing of MT. Joseph $. Johnston. To this charge, let who will be the author, we give the lie di~ rect. Col. Desha arrived here on Sunday last, (the dag AFTER .Hr. Johnston soas 6roaghs oHt, oH q asf,it of Habaas GsrpHs, 6efore Judge Bates and was busily engag ed tue whole of Monday in transacting business in his official capacity, and was not informed, and in fact, had not the most distant idea that any thing of the Eind was on foot, until after Mr. Johnston was admitted to bali, and on the eve of de- parturo for his residence in Hot Spring county. This charge is really too absurd and ridiculous to merit even notice.-- We are truly sorry to find we have tc con- send with such low and groyeliing oppo nents, US the fabricators of this story.
