To correct ON erroneous impression which, we
are informed, has existed among the people as
to the quarters designed for the drafted men,
we can say that the enclosed quarters used
during the winter for recruits have always been
the neatest and most comfortable quarters at
the Fort, and in addition. they have been thor
oughly cleaned and generally whitewashed
this spring, while the grounds by careful po-
Icing have been kept free from filth. The
location is healthy; there have been no cases
Of malignant Or infectious disease in the quar-
tiers since they were built; and the name of
"Pen.' applied to the rendezvous by the sol.
diers, is simply designation adopted for con-
venience and not for descriptive accuracy In
the matter Of quarters, clothing and rations.
the drafted men on going into camp, will find
themselves far better provided for than our vo-
lunteers generally have been at their rst in.
PRODUCTION to service. The energy with which
Colonel BRYDoLF, the commandant Of the rem
devious. has prepared for the drafted men, Is
another indication of his excellent fitness for
the important command he holds.

On Tuesday last We printed o letter from a

passage: .'
"In TIL, state of things Gilmore urged strongly
upon General butler the importance of intrepchips
our pos tons SO as to make them secure agains sor
ties or any movements Of the enemy to Ouet US from
hem. The matter was pressed very earnestly upon
General Buter, through Colonel Serrell whom Gin
more had charged with that mission General But-
ler's answer, repeated several times was that the
movement was altogether an offensive one and that
ne would not pause for any defensive preparations
In brief he positively refused to let the work of in
denching our position be undertaken, though such
work would not necessarily have involved any loss
of time-only it would have kept a portion Of the
troop. at work who would otherwise have chance
to rest"
Gen. Butler addressed a letter on this matter
to Gen. Gilmore, asking, ibid you do or did
you authorize the statement that Gilmore ad.
vised Butler to make his (my) position secure
by intrenchments against sorties or any move.

before Fort Darling. and that l answered
that l would not pause for defensive prepare

you in regard to certain changes in the line.
but there was not time to make those changes.

Our Relations with France,

Malakof," the well-intormed Paris c,res-
pondent of the New York Times writing from
Paris, May 18th, says that an important discus
sion took place on the 18th, in the French
Chambers, at which the following points were
brought out by the Minister of State:
1. That there is no thought of Intervention
in America.
2. That the whole House applauded the Min
lister, when he declared that it was the desire
of France to see the United States Government
resume again its position of grandeur and pros
perity.
8. That the two Governments understand

patch to The French Government that the
House In it's resolution on the Monroe doctrine
meddled with what was none of its business,
has put that body on its dignity. The Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs have instructed HIM.
RI WINTER DAVIS, their chairman, to make o
report on the subject, accompanied by reso-
LUTON maintaining the right of Congress to in
dictate the course OF policy to be pursued In
such cases. The report and resolution reiter-
ate the doctrine laid down In the former reso-
luton; that Congress are unwilling, by silence,
to leave the nations of the world under the i'm
preston that they are Indifferent spectators Of
the deplorable events now transpiring in the
Republic Of Mexico; and they therefore think
fit to declare that it does not accord with the
policy of the United States to acknowledge q
monarchical government erected on the ruins
of any republican government In Amen un-
der the auspices Of any European power. The
report and resolution will be reported In few
days.
