II A friend writing from Baltimore, Aug.
9Th, says, Extremely hot down here in these

How is it in the extreme N. E. ?" Comforta-

sB- William l.. Yaneey, one of the leaders
in the rebellion, and the most INSCRIPTIONS
and reckless of the fraternity, died at his resi-
dence in Alabama, few days since. He was
native of South Carolina, was expelled from
Williams College, Massachusetts,, for miscon-
duct, was imprisoned fifteen months for shoot
ing an uncle, was the earliest and most outra-
geous in his declarations OF rebellion IL Lin
coin should be elected President, was Confed-
crate commissioner to Europe, and a member
of the rebel Congress. He escaped the halter
by the merciful interpostion of the rider of
the pale horse, before justice could lay its
hand upon him.
ag- There seems to be a diversity OF opin-
ion in relation to the dismissal from the army,
OF Col. Jerrards, of the ed Maine. In con-
versing with one of his officers, on the return
of the regiment, on Wednesday last, he said it
was one OF the most outrageous acts of injus-
tice that could have been perpetrated on the
country. The editor of the Biddeford Jour
nal says he has learned from an officer of
high rank now with Gen. Banks, that Col Jer-
rards while sustaining other regiments at the
storming Of Port Hudson, took a vote of his
regiment whether they should adoance or re-
treat They voted to retreat, and Col. Jer-
rards gave the order accordingly, and thus the
victory was lost. Gen. Dwight was so indig-
nant at the conduct and result, that he asked
permission of Gen. Banks to allow Jerrards to
be shot, but the sentence was reduced to be-
ing dismissed in disgrace. As this assertion
involves the whole regiment, IL untrue, 1t
should be contradicfed.

Twenty-Five transports, laden with troops,

Transports loaded with negroes are sent up
daily to Island No. 10, where a camp for the
instruction of blacks in the manual of arms

Pillaging parties are sent out daily from the

strip the country OF provisions and commit
every species of vandalism. The weather is

Correspondence Between Coy. Seymour
and President Lincoln.
WAsHINGToN. Aug. o.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ".
Gov. Seymour, under date of Aug Sd. writes
to the President with respect to the draft in
New York and Brooklyn, condemning the
course of the Provost Marshal in commencing
the draft without consultation with the city or
State officers, at time when the military
were absent at the seat of war, and while there
were not even soldiers enough in New York to
man the Notifications In the harbor. The Gov
ernor complains of unfairness in the enroll
ment, and thinks that in this lottery for humon
life, as he terms it, there should be strict i'm
Partially. In the rural districts the draft has
been executed with justice, and the conscripts
have accepted their fate without murmer,
and sometimes joyfully. In the districts OF
New York, however, with population less,
the number is in some cases double that Of the
former. The attack upon the enrolling off-
GERS, which subsequently, grew into the most
destructive riot known In the history of the
country, he .pronounces unjustifiable. Speak
ing of the riots in New York he says: Disre-
gard for law and the disrespect for judicial
tribunals produced their natural result of rob-
berry and arson, accompanied by murder and
outrages upon helpless race, and for a time
the very existence Of the commercial metrop--
oils of our country was threatened 1t is graf
flying that the citizens of New York were
able without material aid from the State or
nation to put down this dangerous insurrec-
hiohs Loi u tiilC t1C uatiOu udu NOT THE means
to protect its own arsenais and navy yard-one
thousand men could have seized them all and
their ornaments, for the destruction of the
shipping and the city itself, to say nothing of
the vessels which were at that time engaged
in burning our merchant ships almost within
sight of our coast. The Governor also COM
plains that no credit has been given to the city
for the number Of volunteers sent, and the no.
bic exertions of the militia in times of peril.
He therefore asks for suspension, at least, of
the draft until its constitutionality is tested.
The President in reply, under date of Aug.
It'll, says he cannot suspend the draft in New
York, because time Is too important. He adj
mits the disparity Of the qnotas in different
sections, and accounts for 1t by the fact that
SO many more persons At for soldiers are in
the city than are in the country, who have too
recently arrived from Europe to be in the CEN
sus Of 1850; still he would not consider that
reason sufficient; he would direct the draft TO
proceed only on the average quotas of all the
districts. After this drafting the city districts
shall be carefully re-enroled and the Govern
ors agents might witness every step of the
process. Due credit will be given for all vol
unteers. The President would not object 10
abide by the decision Of the Supreme Court.
He would be willing to facilitate it, but could
not consent TO lose the time.

The Herald's Washington dispatch says the

mock Station had been rebuilt and trains are
now running over it.
Everything is quiet with the army. The in

forces are so situated as to render any forward
movement on the part Of Lee disastrous and
