FRG11 WASHINGTON,

The importance Of movements now in prog
ress in certain portions of OUT armies in Viz
ginia1 cannot be over estimated. Details, how
ever, cannot be given for some days. T.
As particulars Of the late battle come in, 1t
appears more and more clearly that two Ohio
regiments bore the hrunt of the sction-the
loss Of the 9th, from Cincinnati, and tho 2:h
from Cleveland, are terrible.
Tt seems that New York and some other
Eastern states, have authority to continue re-
cruitfng for volunteers till the 1st Of Septem-
her, Secretary Stanton having concluded TINT
it will take to that time to make arrangements
for drafting, to get cnrollments completed sc.
An effort is making By one or tWo Eastern
journals which are anxious to save themselves |
from the appearance Of opposition to the ad- |
mipistration, by convincing the public that |
the president has not decided against arming
negroes, TO discl edit my statement about the !
Late interviews Of Western Senators with the
president on that subject. These papers are
aided By one Of the Senators present at that
interview, who attempted plastering up this
affaIr in card in last Mondays Republican.

notice in an editorial reference to one
Of my dispatches concerning the recent
interview Of certain western men with the
! president on the subject Of accepting negro
regiments. followed by communication
which profssses to correct certain false I'M
| prcsfions OF the same euhject, and closes with
| this declaration, the statement Of Senator
present ssid: 'Ihope in Gods name, Mr.
| president, Ycu VIII resign and let Mr.. Hamlin
try Is totally untrue. The communication
ie without signature, but you state that it is
| from one Of the United States Senators who
down matters pretty clo7ely, let rs have them
| little closer. II the communicating Senator
viii authenticate any such statement oy afi-
dayit, with his own signature to it, will pro-

the interview, and who distinctly declared
that he made the reply to the presidents re~
mark about restgning, precisely IS have re-
parted. That will speedily settle the question
Of vesacity. It may be noticed that your cor
respondent makes no denial OF the presf-
dents hayiDg said that if the people
were dissatisfied be would resign and
let Nr. Ham1in try it, and while very freely
contradlctlng my statement shout The reply
and the giving the lio to his brother Senator,
only supposes that he heard all that wa= said.
