Con-. FARgAGUTis REPLY TO Gen. LOWELL.
We published yesterday the impudent letter
of Gen. Lowell Gu the subject of shelling de-
fenseless towns along the river. The follow
ing IS Commodore FarFagut's reply
e. s. FLAG SHIP HARTFORD,
BATON ROUGE, June IL, 1862.
Msj.-een. NJ Lowell commanding Confederate Troops,
Jackson, Mississippi
SIR: have to acknowledge the receipt Of
yoar communication Of the 18th inst, together
with its enclosure, In which you are pleased to
say that vengeance will be visited ''upon
the women and children of Rodney, il
our vessels are fred upon from the town"
Although l find no such language contained
in the letter of Lieut.. Commanding Nichols,
or even any from which such differences might
be drawn, still shall meet your general on
your own terms. You say you locate your
batteries "at such points on the river as are
deemed best suited, etc, without reference to
the people of the town. and claimed no i'm
munity for your troops. Now, therefore, the
violation is with you; you choose your own
time and place for the attack upon our de-
fenseless people, and should therefore see that
the innocent and defenseless of your own peo-
pie are out Of the way before you make the
attack; for rest assured that the fire will be
returned, and we will not hold ourselves
If we have ever fred upon "women and
children, it was done here az Baton Rouge
where an attempt was made to kill one of our
officers landing in a small boat unarmed with
four boys. They were, when in the act OF
landing, mostly wounded by some horsemen
who ehiValrously galloped out of town, leav.
ing the women and children TO bear the brunt
of our vengeance.
At Grand Cult, also, cur transports were
fred upon in passing, which caused the place
to be shelled, with what effect / know not
but do know that the fate of q town is at ali
times in the hands of the military command.
ant, who may st pleasure draw the enemy's
fire upon it; and the community is made tc
suffer for the fault Of its military.
The only instance have known where the
language of your letter could possibly apply
took place at New Orleans on the day we
still in your possession, by your soldiers firing
on the crowd. trust, however, that the day
is passed when women and children win be
submitted, by their military men, to the hor-
rors OF war. 1t is enough for them to be sub.
mitted to its incidental Inconvenience privs-
tions and sufferings.
If any such things have occurred as the
Staying of women and shildren or innocent
people, feel well assured that it was caused
by the act of your military, and much against
the will of our officers; for, as Lieut.. Com
handing Nichols informed the mavor, we wal
not against defenseless persons, but against
those in open rebellion against our country
and desire TO limit our punishment to them
but it may not always be in our power to AZ
50. Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

the conditions of the law allowing their sus-

But locking at affairs from the largest point

not have anticipated such a rapid and cheering
change as has already taken place.
There is therefore, no European mediation
needed in behalf of the South. That part of
it not yet brought under our arms, win, in due
time, he subdued. The feelings of hatred to
the north, which have been everywhere en-
gendered BY falsehood, win disappear as light
breaks among the people, and as they have
already disappeared from such large part OF
the South. And this uncalled-for talk of me-
diation only prolongs our difficulties, as the
previous talk of Intervention aided and en-
couraged the rebellion.

A Rabbit i'm Battle.

Afull-grown rabbit had hid itself away
in the copse of a Tense, which separated
two fields near the centre and most ex-
posed portion of the battle ground Rab-
bits are wont to spend the day almost
motionless, and in seeming dreamy medi-
tation. This one could have had but lit
tie thought-if if rabbits think = when
choosing its place of retreat at early
dawn, that ere it was eventide there
would be such an unwonted and ruthless
disturbance.
During all the preparations for battle
made around its lair during the forenoon,
il nevertheless remained quiet Early,
however, in the afternoon, when the rage
of battle had fairly begun, and shot and
shell were falling thick and fast in all
directions, shell chanced to burst so
near the rabbits hiding place that he
evidently considered it unsafe to tarry
longer. So frightened almost to death,
out he sprang into the open field, and
ran hither and thither with vain hope of
finding a safe retreat Whichever way
it ran, cannons were laundering out their
smoke and fire, regiments of map were
advancing or changing position korses
gaIloping here and there, shells Bursting
and solid shot tearing up the ground
Sometimes it would squat down and lie
perfectly still, when some new and sud
danger would again start it into motion
Once more it would stop and raise ITSELF
as high as possible on its hind legs, and
look all round for some place of possible
retreat. At length that part of the field
seemed open which lay In the direction
opposite from where the battle ragged
most fercely. Thither it accordingly
ran with all its remaining speed
Unobserved by it, however, regiment
was in that direction held in reserve,
and, like Wellington's at Waterloo, was
lying fiat on the ground in order to es-
cape the flying bullets. Ere the rabbit
seemed aware it had jumped into the
midst of these men. 1t could 60 no
further, but presently nestled down be-
