Ha iBtlatates'Tkat Ea Will Ceaie Came Baek Here aid Brave Pablie Oplaloa and Fight His Bat ties Himself. After lying dormant for some time the Dewey sensation broke out anew here yesterday on account of a letter which appeared In the Raleigh Mews and Ob server yesterday. It purported to be from TW Dewey, the defaulting cashier of the Farmers and Merchants bank. There are varying opinions as to the authenticity of the letter but In an Inter. view with the offiolals of the bank and the close friends of Mr Dewey It was de veloped that the majority believed It genuine and not a few thought Mr Dew ey sincere in what he eald. The letter as received at the News and Observer office gave no clue to Mr Dew. ey's whereabouts except that it b re the post mark, "Golds and Greens Sept. 30, 4:30 p m r03," 11;35. oASVonx 'iters 0 ". ' - Vw Haw Always Bonjlt figBStU af' ' ; ToMcco Prices Improving The prices for tobacco at the Farmers Warehouse continue tu Improve, sales being made yesterday st 17f cents, With an average of ten cents. Bales of tobacco" were fairly large, and the bettor tobacco grades find more de mand with the outlook for continued good prices, compared with the earlier prices paid. The envelope was directed in a lad'i handwriting but the letter Itself appear ed to be written In Mr Dewey's own hand writing; a chlrozrapby which Is very peculiar and not easily duplicated The style and phraseology cf the letter Is also written In the style used by him. These are the principal reasons advanced by men here that the letter Is genuine. The fact of the "Golds and Greens" post mark would Indicate that the letter was mailed on the train In the vicinity of Raleigh and It would also indicate, as a good many have believed, that he Is not so far away as many have supposed him to be. Els location having been unknown It is as natural to suppose that he is in New York as any where else anl there Is a story In circulation that Dewey had made a large amount of money In Will street and was coming home to settle up. The letter created a great sensation and scenes following the bank suspen sion were vividly recalled. The letter was the one topic of conversation. One of the principal stockholders who has perhaps felt the effect of the defalcation as much as any one was noticed In a happier mood yesterday than he has been for some time. He ventured the opinion that the Farmers and Merchants Bank would be dolog business again In three months and Mr Dewey would be cashier. Another prominent stockholder expressed the hope that he would come back, he wanted to see Mr Dewey "break a few panes of glass." We herewith republish the letter to MrJosephus Daniels, of the Raleigh News and Observer: WILL YOU DO ME THE KINDNESS TO PUBLISH THIS? Josephus Daniels, Esq., Editor. Raleigh, N. C. My Dear Sir: There have incidentally fallen Into my hands some of the reports published In both Raleigh and Charlotte papers concerning my defalcations, etc., which I denounce as malicious lies one In particular, two columns long, with scarcely a semblance of truth from the beginning to the end. The facts sre grave enough, but I will swear by all past as sociations and by my hope of forgive ness by the Great Judge of all hearts, that the true shortage will not and can not be made by HONEST men to aggre gate'ONE HALF of amounts published. I have net as jet attempted any de fense, and It I do there will be a few shattered panes In the Glass Houses of gome of those "prominent families of NewBern,nwho seem to have "swal lowed their consciences" (If they had any to swallow) and are now so eagerly and harshly sitting in judgment against me; and while I say this, I have not word of reproach! forany one who is trying to do me justice, whatever the penalty of that justice maybe. Thh I consider the unpardonable sin to speak maliciously or dlsparlngly of human souls, hungering for hope. When the man without brains does It, he can be pardoned for knowing no better. When the man with brains does it, he should be ashamed to look his fellow mortals In the eyes, It Is a sin ten times deeper dyed than giving a stone 'to those who ask lor bread, or giving poison to those who ask for a cup of. cold water. My heart has never been intentionally evil nor am I the. recipient of any lllgotten gains. 1 realize to the fullest capabili ties of a proud and sensitive nature (for the pall has-hung hourly before my eyes the turpitude and lasting shame (In their every phase) of my errors, and re morse most be my eternal portion in this life. I have never had any other idea than that of returning voluntarily, if not otherwise, when I felt that I had the strength and courage to do so, for my present sufferings sre far greater than the. Law of man can Inflict. I wish to live only for the Innocent ones depen dent upon me 'mere is nothing we I cannot live down and rise above, and overcome. I would rather learn aympa thy and nobleness of heait though sin than never learn It at all ' Truthfully, T. W. DEWEY. PERSONAL (mGRAFBS MiaaFaaale Collar wast, to Grreaa- boro yesterday.

It has been decided that a joint re ceivership will be the permanent one for the Farmers and Merchants bank. Mr Thos. Daniels was the temporary receiver, and several weeks sgo made his report of the affairs of this bank.
