Gen. Gilmore's reply to Beauregard.
Washington. Sept. j.

Washington, Sept. 2.
The following is Gen Gilmore's reply,
"a brief notice of which has been pub
lished from the rebel papers), to Gen
Beauregard's communication already
printed at length;
Department of the South, Headquarters,
IN the field, Morris Island, s c, 9p. NJ,
Aug ODD,
SIR Il have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication of this
date, complaining that one of my batter
les had opened upon the city of Charles
ton and thrown a number Of heavy rife
shells into the city, the inhabitants of
which were asleep and unarmed.
My letter to you demanding the sur
render of Fort Sumter and Morris Island,
and the threatening in default thereof to
open fire on Charleston, was delivered near
Fort Wagner at ll:l5 o'clock A. M, of
the 2lst inst, and should have arrived at
your headquarters in time to have allowed
your answer TO have reached me within
the time assigned, namely, four hours.
The fault that YOU we're absent from
your headquarters at the time of its ar
rival may be regarded as an unfortunate
circumstance for the city of Charleston,
but it is one for which clearly am not
responsible. This letter bore date at nv
headquarters and was officially delivered
by an officer of my staff. The inadver-
tant omission of my signature doubtless
affords ground for special pleading. But

1t is not the argument of commander,
SOLICITORS only for the safety of women
and children and unarmed men. Your
threat of retaliation for acts of mine
which YOU do not allege to be in violation
of civilized warfare, except as regards the
length OF time allowed as notice of my
intention are passed by without comment.
| will, however, call your attention to the
well established principle that the COM
mander OF a place attacked but not in
vested, having its avenues of escape open
and practicable, has no right to a notice
Of an intention Of bombardment other
than that which is given by the threaten
ing attitude of his adversary. Even had
not this letter been written, the city Of
charleston has had, according to YOUR own
computation, forty days notice of her
danger. During that time my attack up
on her defences has steadily progressed
The ultimate object of that attack has at
no time been doubtful. If under the cir
the life of a single non-combatant is ex-
posed to peril by the bombardment of the
city, the responsibility rests with
those who have first failed to
remove the non combatants or to secure
the safety of the city, after having held
control of all its approaches for period
of nearly two years and half in the
presence of the threatening force, and who
afterwards refused to accept the terms up
on which the bombardment might have
been postponed,
From various sources, official and 9TH
wise, | am led to believe that most of the
women and children of Charleston have
long since removed from that city, but
upon your assurance that the city is still
full Of them, | shall suspend the lombard
ment until A o'clock, p. NJ, tomorrow
thus giving you two days from the time
you acknowledged to have received my
communication of the Goth inst.
Very respectfully,
u. a. GILMORE,
.... Brigadier General.
To Gen P 7 Beauregard, Command
ing the Confederate forces
Charleston.
1t appears that the Spanish and british
consuls respectively addressed Gen Gil
more on behalf of the subjects of their
countries in Charleston, and he cheerfully
suspended the bombardment for "a hours,
to give them time to leave the CITY, Moth
ing, he says, was farther from his wish
than to endanger their lives and property.

Major Gen BlHnt, in his official report
of the battle of Hovey Springs, Ark,
says the LIST Kansas colored regiment par
ticularlv distinguished themselves. They
fought like veterans, and preserved their
line unbroken throughout the engagement.
Their GOODNESS and bravery | have never
seen surpassed. They were in the hot
test of the fight, and opposed to Texas
troops twice their number, whom they
completely routed. The Goth Texas reg
lment, which fought against them, went
into the fight with three hundred men and
came out with only sixty.
