FIRsT DIVISION, N. 7. S. n. g.
New York, July II.
Hon. c. G. Gsmther, Mayor of the City of
Neav York-Sir: Although cannot
concur in your definition of patriotism,
freely agree with you in the necessity of
retaining an organized and disciplined Mil
tia force, in our city sufficiently strong
to suppress any attempt Of the lawless
and evil disposed members Of the commu-
nity to renew the scenes Of arson and
plunder which disgraced our city last
summer, during the absence of the city
Regiments. In answer to the present call
of the President on the Governor of the
State, only $500 men have been detailed
from this Division, as our quota of the
$4,000 required, and, after this detachment
is withdrawn, shall retain II of the dis
ciplined regiments Of the 1st Division in
the city, ready, willing and abundantly
able to put down prompt. any demon
stration against the peace and good order
of the community. 1 regret that after
the explanation to you yesterday, in per-
son, you should have deemed it necessary
to publish your letter, and hope, there
fore, you will have noobjection to the pub
lication of this answer, to allay any fears
which you may have excited.
am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
