DEtGn G1spabcA EAS tue
paragraph relative to the scarcity of arms for
the new quots:
Not long ago it was discovered that the
Secretary of War, with his vigorous way OF
doing things lad stopped enlistments for our
volunteer service just at the time when enlist
rnents were beginning to be most needed; and if
it should turn out that the blunder in breaking
all the gun contracts was of equal magnitude,
it will not be because the Secretary of War is
not guilty. Arms in abundance might have
been ready now of our own manufacture; but
as it is we are dependent captured cargoes
and on going into foreign markets.
1t is stated that Col. Rodney Mason either
had been or is to be speedily cashiered for his
surrender of GAINESVILLE. This officer COM
manded the Second Ohio at Bull Run, and
some charges against him found place in the
Ohio papers shortly after that battle. At Pitts
burg Landing he was again accused OF bad
coaduct, though not by Gen. Sherman, as re-
Gently stated. An elaborate defense of his
conduct was presented during the debates in
the last session of Congress by the Represent
tasives from his District.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The following is a
recent letter from the Secretary of State TO the
British Charge d Affairs
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, August 20.
SIR: Having informally understood from
you that British subjects, who had merely de-
clared their intention TO become citizens of the
United States, had expressed approximations
that they might be drafted into the militia
under the late requisition of the War Depart
ment, have the honor to acquaint you for
their information that none but citizens are
liable to military duty in this country, and
this Department has never regarded an alien,
who may have merely declared his intention
TO become citizen, as entitled to passport,
and, consequently, has always withheld from
persons of that character any such certificate
of citizenship. l have the honor to he, witt
high consideration, your obedient servant.
WIZ. I'll. SEWARD, Secretary of State.
To Hon. VIM. Stuart.
