important Correspondence Between
Gen. Dix and GOV. Seymour.

HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE EAsT,l
New YORK CITY, Aug q, 1868 (
To tile Editors of the New York Express:
GENTLEMEN I find in your paper of yester-
day the following paragraph:
1.-THE Administration seems to have made IN
its mind not to take Richmond or to OccuDv
Virginia, and our impression is that it does not
mean to conquer Virginia until after the
Presidential election, SO as not to have the Vir-
gina vote IN the next Presidential ballot-box.
Hence, Gen. Meade is despoiled of his forces.

are encamped here in our beautiful parks, pa
radlng before our great hotels, in some places,
there robbing the laboring classes of their
places OF airing or enjoyment, as in Tompkins.
square, while all the forts around swarm with
soldiers. The conquest of New York seams of
much more importance to the Administration
just now, than the conquest of Virginia."
As the troops on service in this CITY were
sent here at my request, 1 forward to you for
publication correspondence between the Gov
ernOr OF this State and myself, which will eX-
plain my reasons for asking military force to
be placed at my disposal while the draft of men
for the army was in progress. 1t was nv wish
that the law providing for the draft should have
been executed under the protection of the mil
ltary power OF the State in case of armed re-
SlStance to 1t, not only because such an ar
rangement would have given evidence of the
cordial cooperation of the State authorities
with the Federal Government in carrying out
an important war measure, but because it
would have rendered unnecessary the with
drawal of troops from the field at time when
they were actually employed in bringing the
rebellion to a close.
Had my application to the Governor been
successful, should not have asked the General
Government to send to this State single sol
dier to aid in asserting its authority, and in pro-
tecting its officers from violence in the dis
charge of their duties.
am, very respectfully. yours,

the almost inestimable service you have done

you should go down the river and JON General

GENERAL GILMORE'S REPLY,

The following is Gen. GILMoRE's reply
in brief, notice of which has been publish
ed in rebel papers, to Gen. BEAUREGARD's
communication already printed at length:
Headquarters DEPARTMENT SourH.l
MORRIS ISLAND, S. c., Aug. %, pm
SIR: l have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of this date
complaining that one of my batteries had open
ed upon the city of Charleston and thrown a
number of heavy rifle shells into the CITY. the
inhabitants of which, of course, were asleep
and unarmed.
My letter to you demanding the surrender of
Fort Sumter and Morris Island, and threaten
ing in default thereofto open fire upon Charles
ton, was delivered near Fort Wagner, at II 10
A. NJ. of the Dist inst. and should have arrived
at your headquarters in time to have permitted
your answer to reach me within the limit as.
signed, namely, four hours. The fact that you
were absent from your headquarters at the
time it reached you, may be regarded as an I'M
fortunate circumstance for the city of Charles
ton, but it is one for which clearly am not re-
spOnsible.
This letter bore date at my headquarters.
and was officially delivered by an officer of my
staff The inadvertent omission of my sigma
ture doubtless affords ground for specious
pleading, but it is not the argument of COM
mander solicitOus only for the safety of Sleep
ing women and children and unarmed men.
Your threat of retaliation for acts of mine
which you DO not allegc to be in violation of
the usages of civilized warfare, except as re-
CARDS the length of time allowed as notice of
my intention, are passed without comment.
will, however, call your attention to the
we'll established principles that the commander
of place attacked but not invested, having
his avenues of escape open and practicable,
has no right to notice Of an Intention of
bOmbardment, other than that which is given
by the threatening attitude of his adversary
Even had not this letter been written. the city
of Charleston has had, according to your own
computiOn. forty days notice Of her danger.
During that time my attack upon her defen-
ces has steadily progressed. The ultimate OBJ
ject of that attack has been doubtful,
If under the circumstances the life of a sin
gle nOn-cOmbatant is exposed to peril by the
the bombardment of the city, the responsibility
rests with those who have failed to remove the
non-combatants, or to secure the safety of the
city after having held control of all its ap.
prOaches for period of nearly two years and
halt, in the presence of a threatening force,
and who afterwards refused to accept the terms
upon which the bOmbardment might have
been postponed
From variOus sources, official and otherwise,
am led to believe that most of the women
ana children of Charleston were long since re-
moved from that city, but upon your assurance
mat the city is still full of them, shall sus-
pend the bombardment until IL O'Clock P. M.
tomorrow, thus giving you two days from the

manding Department Of tie East:
SIR: | have received the final answer of the
President to my suggestions with regard to the
draft in this State L regret that he did not
see fit TO comply with my requests. rs | am
confident that generous reliance upon the pa
triotsm of the people, to fill the thinned ranks
of our armies by voluntary enlistments would
hereafter, us it has heretofore, prove more eff
fcctual than any con>cripton As have fully
expressed my views on his subject in lay cor
respOndence with the President, of which |
send you 4 copy. is is not necessary to refer
again to those topics.
| had hoped the same OppOr unity would be
afforded New York that has been given TO other
States Of showing to the world that no COM
pulsOry process was ncedtul 10 send from this
State Its full quota of men 10 reinforce our
armies. As you state in your letter that it is
your duty to enforce the act of Congress, ard
as you apprehend its provisions may excite pO-
pular resistance, it is proposed you should
know the position which will be- held by the
State authorities. Ofcourse, under no circum-
stances can they perform duties expressly con-
tided to others; nor can they undertake to re-
lievc others from their proper responsibilities.
But there can be no violations of good order,
no riotOus proceedings, no disturbances of the
public peace, which are not intraciiOns of the
laws of the State and those laws will be en-
care that all the executive officers of this State
perform their duties vigorously and thorough
ly, and if need be the military power will be
called into requiSitiOn.
AS you are an officer of the General Govern
ment, and not of the State, it does not become
me to make suggestions to you with regard to
your action under a law of Congress. You will,
of course, be governed by your instructions.
and your own views of duty; and it would be
unbecoming in me to obtrude my opinions
upon one who is charged with high response
bilities, and who is in no degree subject to my
direction or responsible to me for anything
which he may do in accordance with his own
Judgment, and in pursuance of his convictions
of propriety.
