Gen. Milo Hascall is having a ys,v t,o,h,
lesome time Of 1t as correspondents viIb
newspaper editors. His LIST was usssaps
with Brooks, Of the New York Expr.ss
which we copy from that paper of the

Some days since the editors of the Ex-
press Press received letter frUm Brig. Gen,
having heard Of this military een,jemsn-
until his, now famous Order No. Q cana
out, we thought that, when be sent us tie
iolio"lng letter, somebody was making a
1901 OF him and his profession, and. tbeTe-
lore, we wrote to inquire If the letter var
genuine, or forgery. In a scurrilous re-
ply, he admits the letter to be genuine
We therefore publish the letter and our
reply which We have mailed for him, t..

To the Editor Of Ire New York Express:
/ GENTs-SOme one has been kind enough,
to lnclose me slip from your paper con-
tanning copy OF my Order No. 9, and YOUR
remarks thereon. They are exceedingly
witty ana smart, and, in your Judgment,
probably, dispose of the whole case. IL
may surprise you some to know that the
order was issued after matsfe deliberationa
and consultation, ard is being, and will be. 4.
carried on to the letter. 1t is fortunate
for you that your paper is not published ip-
my district. Very truly, yours,

SIR:-I have waited for some DAYS in
order to ascertain, If in the curious lottery
OF generals" drawn in Washington, it
was possible even for chance, to throw out
, such "a prize" as could ind tie letter like
yours OF the 9Th, to a journalist in q free
state, living among free people A sub
sequent note, in reply to a petite one from
me, merely asking IF it was genuine or
> forged. shows, in its scurrility, if nothing
. else, that the first note was genuine.
o at is fortunateifOr you" Jedi ors of the
Express, you say }. that your paper is not
J, published in MY district"
q at is fortunate for you," may add, BY
way of comment, that this threat is NOT
uttered 10 ''NY district" for, If it were, the
IS grand jury would iudict you for threaten.
: ing to disturb the peace. and the least
! punishment: you could hope Cor would be,
II "OouHd Orer," with sureties, to keep that
re peace.
Your military order, on which tire New
e 1o!k Express comments freely, as il had
u a right to do, has in IT this absurdity:
y "All newspapers or public speakers that
Is endeaTOr to bring the aar policy of the
y government into disrepute will be consid-
is cred as violating the Order No. 3s (Geu.
y Burnside's). = He who 10 60 fac
n tiously and actively opposed to the rar
81 policy OF the administration is as much Up-
posed to this government" 60.
You labor, see, under the not uncom-
!; mon delusiOn with men # your military
l. calibre, that the administration is the Gov
r. EENNENr and that "tbe war policy" Of the
d administration is 1.-THE supreme law Of the
Is land, not the constitution of the United
/ States. Or, in other words, that mo. 3S. -
oil or N. 9, l. the government of the United
y States! 1t may be very safe to Dor IN
i, der that dslusiun in Indiana Just now, bat
ir II would not be safe to be dsluded BY it, IN
ir New York. 1fyOu should fOrcibly inter-
& tere with the publication Of the New York
Express, a sheriff only. % complaint,

re mics Of your Country, before you distin-
guish yourselfas o gaoler or executioner.
