A Paris,correspondent says: " Since my arrival have met with Mr. Paul Morphy. the famous American _chess player, about whose doings and whereabouts such contradictory reports have been circulated; in the United States. Mr. Morphy has not been on any rebel general's staff, nor has he taken any part in the war. He left New Orleans long after the capture of the city by tie Federal forces, and went to Havana taking passage thence to Cadiz and reached Paris a few davs ago. _Kolish the eminent Hungarian player, is also here and chess amateurs are making efforts to bring about a meeting between the greatest chess genius of the world and another star not unworthy to encounter the master. Morphy, however, assures me that he has denounced chess altogether, and the unhappy state of affairs at home will not permit him to bring to the task of meeting a great player the calmness and coolness which are essential to success; He has also matters of more importance to occupy his mind, and seems to be in feeble health." - Press (Philadelphia, PA), Friday, January 23, 1863; Section: Front page, Page: 1
