is very unusual, is being adopted by them in their

,si find myself this afternoon located on
the flag ship Dinsmore, the guest of Adj
miral Dahlgren. All here are confident
of success, and no one seems to entertain
the slightest doubt on the subject With
such feeling prevalent, failure is next to
an impossibility. The grand ball will be
opened in the course of the week, and it
will be the most furious fight of the war.
Moving buoys have been located from
each of the Monitors, and the Ironsides is
within 500 yards of Sumter That Sum

the day of attack Will arrive. The enc

James Island, but we are putting up bat
teries to command them also. a..
There has not been dozen guns fired
to-day and they were principally from our
water batteries. ..0 ri
The enemy has been unusually quiet.
He is evidently finding out that he has
been wasting a great deal of ammunition
lately. .. n . .a.-
The weather is very hot. The arrival
of reinforcements has given new spirit to
the troops on shore.
There has been but little cannonading
to-day, but some OF the Monitors will 90
in tonight to harrass the enemy. There
was considerable cannonading yesterday
all day, and during the night. The guns
of the naval battery which is the advanc-
ed battery, will be erected to night.
Yesterday, 500 prisoners was taken by
four companies OF the Lost Children" on
an Island in the rear OF Folly Island.
They showed but little fight, and after re-
ceiving two volleys, laid down their arms.
BosroN, Aug. The correspondent OF

COR IL ESPONDENCE BETWEEN
GOV. SEYMOUR AND PRESH-
DENT LINCOLN REGARD
ING THE DRAFT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Glow. Seymour,
under date of Albany, Aug. 81, writes to
the President with respect to the draft in
New York and Brooklyn.
He condemns the course of the Provost
Marshal in commencing the draft without
consultation with either the city or
State officers, and at a time when the mil
tia were absent at the at of war, and
while there were not even soldiers enough
to man the Notifications in the harbor
Gov. Seymour complains of unfairness
in the enrolment, and thinks that in this
lottery for human life, as he terms it, the
strictest impartiality should be observed.
In several districts the draft has been ex-
ecuted with impartiality and jul ice, and
conscripts have accepted their fate with
out a murmur. and sometimes with salts
faction.
In the Districts OF New York
however, with population rauch less, the
number to be drafted is in some cases
double that of the former.
The attack on the enrolling officers
which subsequently grew into the most
destructive riot known in the history of
the country, he pronounced unjustifable.
Speaking further of riots in the United
States, he says, disregard for law, disres-
pect for the judiciary tribunals produced
their natural results of robbery and arson
accompanied by murderous outrages on a
helpless race, and for time the very ex-
1stence of the commercial metropolis of
our country was threatened. 1t is graft
flying that the citizens of the United States
were able without material aid from State
or nation to put down this dangerous in
surrectiOn.
For time the nation had not the means
to protect its own arsenals and navy yards.
One thousand men would have seized them
all, and then used the ornaments for the
destruction of shipping and the city itself,
to say nothing of the vessels which were
at that time engaged in burning our mer-
chant ships at least within sight of our
coast.
The Governor also complained that no
credit has been given to the city Tor the
number of volunteers sent, and the noble
exsrtions of the militia in this hour of
peril He therefore asks for a suspension
of the draft till its constitut'ere 'ty can be
tested.
The President in rnpiy u-Ier date OF
August 18th, says he cant suspend the
draft in New York, because time is too
important. He admits the disparity OF
the quotas in different sections, and ac-
counts fer it by the fact, that SO many more
persons are fit for soldier, are in the city
than in the country, who have too recent
ly arrived from Europe, to be in the CEN
sus of 1860, and still he would not con-
slider that reason sufficient.
He would direct the draft to proceed
drawing only the average quota of all dis
| tricts.
After this drawing, the city districts
shall be carefully re-enrolled and govern
ment agents might witness every step Of
the process.
| Due credit will be given for all sollln-
| teers. The President would not object to
abide the decision Of the Supreme Court.
/ He would be willing to facilitate it, but
| conld not consent to lose the time.

+ Under the Charter of the City of St. Paul as
amended by the act of February u, 1856, the
power of the Street Commissioners to order
and contract for tie grading of street did not
depend upon the making or filing Of the esti-
mate of expenses provided for by section OF
chapter7.
The owners of adjoining lots upon which the
expense OF the grading was assessed, were
alone interested in such estimate, and the failure
to make or file it might vitate the particular
assessment, but could not invalidate the con
tract for doing the work t
