Tod, called on Lincoln last week and urged the immediate organization of a mounted force to operate in Tennessee. The number of U. S., negro troops actually in the field, is between twenty two and twenty-three thousand. Fifty additional regiments are partly organized, and speedily approaching completion. The estimate of one hundred thousand being in arms by fall will, it is thought, be fully sustained. Gen. Banks has requested that the mails for New Orleans be sent down the Mississippi river. Of the 27 double-bowed iron vessels, ordered by Congress to be built, 19 are afloat and receiving their machinery. The Northern papers are publishing obituaries of the Confederate Lieut General T.

gree with me that even this, impartially done to all classes, is more tolerable than any scheme which shall fraudulently force a portion of the community into the military service by a dishonest perversion of the law. You will see by the report of Mr. Waterbury that there is no theory which can explain or justify the enrollment in this State. I wish to call your attention to the tables on pages 5, 6, 7, and 8, which show that in nine Congressional districts, in Manhattan, Long, and Staten Islands the number of conscripts called for is 33,729, while in nineteen other districts the number of conscripts called for is only 39,626. This draft is to be made from the first class, viz: those between the ages of 20 and 35. It appears, by the census of 1860, that in the first nine Congressional districts there were 164,797 males between 20 and 35, and they are called upon to supply 33,729 conscripts. In the other 19 districts, with a population of males between 20 and 35 of 270,786,

A despatch from New York, dated the 17th, announces the arrival of a steamer there from Charleston, and says: On Thursday evening the monitors were all stripped and prepared for action, and at daylight Friday morning the batteries on Morris Island opened their fire, which, lasted only an hour or two, when at ceased. The monitors did not fire as shot, and as soon as the batteries ceased firing the monitors put up their awnings. No explanation is given for this move. The strongest conessed of a favorable result. Our informant says that during the short engagement Friday morning he saw several shot strike Fort Sumter, which caused the brick and mortar to fly profusely. One of the officers of our transports, who left Morris Island on the 14th, says that upon receiving certain restrictions in regard to conveying news by Quartermaster Dunton, he asked him what he should tell his friends at Fortress Monroe. The Quartermaster said, "Tell them a great battle will come, off

ade in accordance with the laws of Congress, or with the principles of justice. I know our army needs recruits, and for this and other reasons I regret a decision which stands in the way of a prompt and cheerful movement to fill up the thinned ranks of our regiments. New York never paused in her efforts to send volunteers to the assistance of our gallant soldiers in the field. She has not only met every call heretofore made, (while every other Atlantic and New England State, except Rhode Island, has been delinquent;) but has continued liberal bounties to volunteers when all efforts were suspended in many other quarters. Active exertions are now being made to organize new and fill up the old regiments. These exertion will be more successful if the draft is suspended, and much better than reluctant conscripts will be in the armies. On the 7th I advise you by letter that I would furnish the strongest proof of the injustice, if not fraud, in the enrollment in certain district

sional districts, the total vote in 1860 was 151,243. The number of conscripts now demanded is 33,729. In the 19 other districts the total vote was 457,257. Yet these districts gave majorities in favor of one political party, and each of the nine districts gave majorities in favor of the other party. You cannot, and will not, fail to right these gross wrongs. Truly, yours, Horatio Seymour, Lincoln's reply. Executive Mansion, Washington, August 11, 1863. To His Excellency, Horatio, Seymour, Governor of New York: Yours of the 8th, with Judge Advocate General Waterbury's report, was received to-day, asking you to remember that I consider time as being very important both to the general case of the country and to the soldiers already in the field, I beg to remind you that I waited at your request from the 1st to the 6th instant, to receive your communication dated the 3d.
