SIR: I have waited for some DAYS in order 20
ascertain IL. in the curious lottery of Generals
drawn in Washington, il was possible, for even
chance, TO throw out such "a prize" and could in
dite letter like yours Of the 5th to journalist
in free State, living among free people
subsequent note. in reply to polite one from me.
merely asking If it genuine or forged,
shows. in its scurrity, If in nothing else, that the
first note was genuine.
&" 1t is fortunate for you Editors of the EX
press, YOU say that your paper Is not published
in MY District"
1t is fortunate for you, may add, by way
OF comment that this threats not uttered in MY
District" for it IL were. the Grand jury would
indct YOU for threatening to disturb the peace,
and the least punishment you could hope for
would be bound over" with suretes, "to keep
that peace
Your military Order. on which the New York
Express commented freely, as it had right to do,
has i'm il this absurdity:
"Al newspapers or public speakers that Ell
deavor to bring the policy of the Govern
ment into disrepute will be considered "a volat
inc the Order No. 80 General Burnside's =
He who is 80 factiouslv and actively
opposed to the war policy of the Administration
is a. much opposed to this Government" &c.
You labor. | See under the not uncommon
delusion with men of your military calihre that
the Administration is the GOVERNMENT, and that
"the par policy of the Administration is 1.-THE
SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND" not the Constitu-
ton of the United States. Or, in other words.
that "No 49," or mo g." is the Government of
the United States. IL may pe very safe to labor
under that delusion in Indiana just now, but it
would not be safe to he deluded off by il, in New
York If you should forcibly interfere with the
publication Of the New York Express. a Sheriff
only, on complaint. would arrest you. or. il you
did not respect his writ, the posse comatus would
aid him, or, If that were resisted. the military
power Of the State. under Horatio Seym our. as
Commander III Chief. would procure a place in
the Tomhs for Brigadier General Milo 5 Has
call He ,dquarters District Of Indiana" &c.
Whether order No 3S'' and No. 9. extend
TO Missouri or not. ! cannot say; but If they do,
YOU will find full field for action upon them in n
large meeting of German radicals. held in the
city Of 81. Louis. on the 10Th inst. where the
General in Chief Ofthe army Of the United States,
! Gen. Halleck. and the "war policy of the Ad
minis tration.'' or "the Government" are very
bitterly assaled and brought into excessive dis
repute" or ii more particularly YOU should pre-
fer to try and test No So" or mo g." in New
York, YOU will find in a Convention of CARR
sonian and Wendell Phillips Abolitioniss abnn-
uhht inaterti OF all KINDS, hot only oTihSih@ the
Administration war policy, but even President
Lincoln into this .disrepute"
But permit me, in closing, most respectfully to
suggest that you forget the land you live Ill, and
| the people YOU are irving to alright. Indianap.

! York is not vet a slave State Besides. si-, il
you have surplus military talen, vet undeveloped
would it not be wiser first to flesh your maiden
sword in the field, upon the enemies of your
country. before YOU distinguish Yourself as a
! TAILOR or executioner?
l am, sir, most respectfully yours.
