HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT SourH CAROLINA,
GEORGIA AND FLORIDA,
CHARLESTON, s. c., JUNE 10, 1864.
General: Five Generals and As field
officers of the U. s. army, all of them
prisoners OF war, have been sent to this
city for safe-keeping. They have been
turned over to Brigadier General Ripley,
commanding the First Military District
of this department, who will see they are
provided with commodious quarters i'll
that part of the city occupied by non
combatants, the majority of whom are
women and children.
1t is proper, however, that should
inform you that it is a part of the city
which has for many months been exposed
day and night, to the fire of your guns.
Very respectfully. your obedent serv't,

Major Gen. Saml. Jones, Commanding
the Confederate forces Department of
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida
General : have to acknowledge the
receipt this day of your communication of
the 18th instant, informing me that five
generals and forty-fye field officers of
the U. S. Army, prisoners of war, have
been turned over by you to Brig. Gen.
| Ripley, with instructions to see that they
are provided with quarters in the part of
nhe city occupied by non-combatants, the
majority of which latter you state are
women and children You add that you
deem it proper to inform ME That it is
part of the city which has been for many
months exposed. to the fire Of cur guns.
Many months since Major General
Gilmore, u. s: Army, notified General
Beauregard commanding at Charleston,
that the city would be bombarded. This
notice was given that non-combatehts
might be removed and thus womep and
children be spared from harm. General
Beauregard, in q communicable to Cen
eral Gilmore, dated August I'D, 1868,
informed him that the nor, combatant pop
ulation OF Charleston yould be removed
with ap possible cekrity. That the wo-
men md children have been since re-
tai.ed by you in the part Of the city
yhich has been for many months exposed
TO fire is a matter decided by your own
sense of humanity.
| must. however. protest against your
action, in thus placing defenseless pris-
oners Of war in position exposed to
constant bohbardment. 1t is an indefen-
sible act Of cruelty, andean be designed

Over Eight Per Cent Interest

in currency, and are of equal convenience as a
permanent or temporary investment
1t is believed that no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders MS the various de-
scriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms
of Indebtedness, the faith or ability of private
parties or stock companies or separate commu-
mites only is pledged for payment, while for
the debts of the United States the whole prop
erty of the country is holden to secure the pay
ment of both principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in SUMS
from $50 up to any magnitude on the same
terms, and are made equally available to the
smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They
can be converted into money at any mor.ent,
and the holder will have the ber. eft of the in
terest
1t may be useful to state in this connection
that the total Funded l. ebt Of the United States
on which the interest is payable in gold, on the
3D. day of Marcl., 1864, was S76s, o65, 900. The
interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year
will be e;,45 037. l26, while the customs revenue
II gJd for the current fiscal year, ending June
3Oth, 1864, has been SO far at the rate of over
81 90, OOO, 900 per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largely in eX-
cess of the wants of the Treasury for the pay
ment of gold interest, while the recent increase
of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual re-
CENTS from the customs on the same amonnt of
importations to $50, 600, 900 per annum.

RETALIATION We rejoice in the Or
der of retaliation which Mr.. Stanton has
sent to Gen. Foster, commanding the
Department of the South. The rebels
have had the folly to put five Union
Generals, whom they hold prisoners of
war, under fire in Charleston, as if to
protect that city by the assumption that
General Foster had no military right to
lombard it So far is that from being
true, that no notice, even, was necessary
for the beginning Of bombardment-
the city having long been menaced, and
having secure retreat landward for nom
combatants. At the request of General
Foster, the Secretary of War has sent
five rebel Generals to be placed also I'M
der fire, and meantime the FIRE on Charles
ton continues. There must come time
when the rebels shall be made to under
stand that the Government is not to be
bullied.

How GEN. Polk WAS KILLED "A Cor
respondent of the New York Herald,
with the army of Gen. Sherman, gives
the following concerning the manner Of
the death of Bishop Gen. Polk:
On the afternoon of the 18th party
of rebel Generals, consisting of johnson,
Polk and Hardee, rode to Pine Noun
tain, for the purpose of making some tel
escopic observations of our line. AT the
time brisk artillery fire was going on
between the two armies, but no engage
ment of the inf,nry The rebel gener-
ais were on foot at the time, having left
their horses out of range. The artillcr-
lists of the Fourth Corps, observing the
party, fired at them but failed of their
mark, as they were protected in meas
ure. Another battery of the same corps,
but some distance on the right, got range
on the party and gave them a discharge.
One of the projectiles struck Gen Polk
OH the left arm, about the elbow, passed
through his body, considerably mang-
ling it, and carrying off the right arm.
The unexpected circumstance occasioned
great excitement and CONSERVATION among
the generals and rebels in the vicinity,
as could be plainly seen by some of orr
troops, though the cause of the confusion
was not known to them at the moment.
