NEW YORK, May 1.
The Herald
says: “We have received information from
a reliable source that certain parties in this city are giving practical aid
and comfort to the rebels. If our
information be correct, two secessionists recently arrived here from the South,
brought on a quantity of tobacco valued at and sold here for fifty thousand
dollars, which sum they invested in army clothing and hats for the rebels. Their goods were sent from the city
yesterday, to a small town south of Nashville, where they will be taken in
charge by the rebel authorities. The
boxes containing them are marked with a diamond. If our authorities on the line of route
exercise due vigilance, the goods may be intercepted.”
