Some days since Mr.. Pillsbury, the Copper
head candidate for Governor, challenged Gen.
Chamberlain to public discussion of the is
sues of the campaign. Mr.. Pillsbury stated in
his note that in doing SO he acted in accordance
with the instructions of the Convention that
nominated him. 1- r..
Gen. Chamberlain replied that the state of
his health was such as to forbid his engaging in
a prolonged discussion, and it is understood
that his medical adviser peremptorily forbids it.
The General stated however that while he
regretted his inability to take part in the dis
cussion, he had no doubt that much good might
result from it and that he would refer Mr..
Pillsbury's letter to the Union State Commit
tee in order that they might take measures to
have the discussion proceed if agreeable to Mr..
Pillsbury .......-...-
The Union State Committee, after duly con-
sidering the matter, designated Mr.. Blaine.
Representative in Congress from the third Dis
trict, as a substitute for Gen. Chamberlain. and
it has been agreed that discussions between
Messrs Blaine and Pilsbury shall take place

The more information obtain of the affair

comes. 1t was no riot. 1t was an absolute
massacre by the police, which was not excelled
in murderous cruelty by that of Fort Pillow.
1t was murder which the Mayor and police
of this city perpetrated without shadow of
necessity. Furthermore, I believe it was pre-
meditated, and every indication points to this
believe it would be hailed with sincerest
qualification by two-thirds of the population of
the city. There has been feeling of insecure

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GENERAL sHERI-
DAN AND THE AUTHORITIES AT
WASHINGTON

AS first given to the public, the. italicised
portions of the following dispatch were omit
ted, for obvious reasons.l r..r..
f..f NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 1.
y. s. Grant, General:
You are doubtless aware of the serious riot
which occurred in this city on the 3Oth. A po-
htical body, styling itself the Convention of
1854, met on the 30th for as it is alleged, the
purpose of remodeling the present constitu-
tion of the State. The leaders were political
agitators and revolutionary men, and the ac-
ton of the convention was liable to produce
breaches of the public peace. / had made up
my mind to arrest the head men, If the pro-
ceedings OF the convention were calculated to
disturb the tranquility of the department, but
had no cause for action until they committed
the overt act. In the mean time official duty
called me to IegGs, and the mayor of the city,
during my absence, suppressed the convention
by the use of the police force, and in so doing
attacked the members of the concention and a
party Of taoo hundred negroes, and with fire
arms, clubs and knices, IN manner so ain-
necessary and dtrocious as to compel me to sag
that it sCds murder. About forty whites and
blacks were thus killed, and about 100 wound
ed. Everything is now quiet, but deem it
best to maintain a military supremacy in the
city for few days. until the affair is fully in
vestigated. believe the sentiment of the gem
eral community is great regret at this unneces-
sary cruelty, and the police could have made
any arrest they saw fit without sacrificing lives

We have been advised here that prior to the

ionary speeches were made to mob compos-
ed of white and colored persons, urging upon
them to arm and equip themselves for the pur-
pose of protecting and sustaining the Conven-
tion in its Illegal and unauthorized proceed
ings, intended and calculated to upturn and su-
persede the existing State Government of
Louisiana, which had been recognized BY the
Government of the United States. Further.
did the mob assemble, and was it armed for the
purpose of sustaining the Convention in its
usurpation and revolutionary proceedinesp
Have any arms been taken from persons since
the 30th ult, who were supposed or known to
be connected with this mob? Have NOT vari-
GUS individuals been assaulted and shot by
persons connected with this mob without good
cause and in violation of the public peace and

It's defence and protection main cause OF the

authorities of New Orleans? Have steps been
taken by the civil authorities to arrest and try
any and all of those who have committed Of
