Another letter from Gov. Seymour to
the President,

New York, Aug. 10.
Governor Seymour, writing to Presi-
dent Lincoln under date of the Sth. saws
he regrets his refusal to postpone the
draft till its constitutionality is tested and
to see if the enrolment is Just. He is
aware that the army needs recraits, and
regrets decision which stands in the way
OF cheerful movement to fiji the ranks.
New York has been first to send volun-
teers, meeting every call when every 9TH
er Atlantic State was delinquent except
Rhode Island. IF the draft is stopped
bounties will furnish better men than re-
luctant consripts.
lie continues We are contending. you
say, with an enemy who, you understand,
drives every aolebodied man into the ar

slaughter-pen. You will agree with me
that even this, if impartially done to all
classes, is more tolerable than any scheme
which shall fraudulently force a portion
of the country into military service by
dishonest perversion of the law.
He then shows the disparity in the
quotas IN democratic and republican dis
tricts, and in conclusion says, You cannot
and will not fail to right these gross
wrongs. @ ..

The SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. A
Charleston letter in the Boston Herald,
represents that the greatest activity pre-
walls in the naval department of the siege.
Stone Inlet and the ship channel are alive
with vessels of war, iron-clads, transports,
tugs, scows, barges, &C., all Of which are
in use and will soon form part of the
grand naval array that is soon to be
brought against the enemy. Another bat
terry of great strength, and mounted by
some of the most powerful guns, has just
been erected on Morris Island only 1900
yards from Sumter. Another battery is
only 400 yards distant. They are
manned by troops, sailors and marines
When these batteries are opened against
Sumter there will be a dreadful scattering
of bricks, legs, arms and bodies. One
hour and halt is allowed for the bonn
bardment of that fort before it will be
compelled to surrender. On the night Of
the LIST instant the monitors kept up a
constant fire on Fort Wagner and Cum
mlngs Point, making it rather dangerous
for the rebels TO reinforce these garrisons.
