Ro iUKixo, August 4th —The following Utter h
published this morning I t is from the PwsWent
to (ten. I>ec •
ftiOMMONn, July 81.—Sir: o a t i, c 22nd of tins
month, the cartel for the general exchange of pri
--oners of war w*»? signed between Alaj. Geueral
I'. 11 Hill, in behalf ot the Confederate States,
Maj (tecieial John It J*ix, in behalf of the
I i.tted States. By ihe tern,? ot that cartel, it it*
tipulated that all priaoners of war hereafter
taken, iihall be discharged on parole until ex
changed.
Scarcely had that csTt.-l been signed, when thc
tniliui y author idea «.f the (Tiirerl States com
menced a practice, changing th»* character of the
war trom such ns become civilized nations iiito a
campaign of indiscriminate robbery and murder
Ihe (ieueral Order issued bv the Secretary of
War ot the I.nued Suites, in the city of Wash
ington, on the very day that cartel was signed
in \ irginia, dherfy the military commanders of
the Suited States to take the private property cl
our people, for the convenience arid use of iheii j
aiiniee, without compensation.
Ihe General Order, issued by Gen Pope, on!
the day after the signing of the cartel, directs!
the murder ul our peaceful inhabitant? &s spies,
it found quietly tilling the farms in his rep.r, even
outside ot his lines, and one of his Brigadier Gen
erals, Steiriwehr, has seized upon innocent and
peaceful inhabitants to be retained as hostages
the end that they may be murdered in cold blood,
it any of ins soldiers arc killed by some unknown
persona whom he designates as li Bushwhackers. 1 '
i tuler tins et-ite of facts, this government has
issued the enclosed general order, recognizing
* leu. Pope and his commissioned officers to be in
the position which they have chosen for them
! selves that of robbers and murderers and not that
I of public enemies entitled, if captured, to be con
i sidered as prisoners of war.
V\ e find ourselves driven by our enemies, by a
I steady practice, towards a practice which we ab
; hoi\ and which we are vainly striving to avoid.—
1 borne of the military authorities of the United
dtates seem to suppose that better success wiii ut
, le, *d « savege w«r in which no quarter is given,
j and no age, up sex to be spared, than has hitherto
. been secured by such hostilities a- are recognized
I to be lawitii by civilized war in modern times. —
For the present, we renounce our right of retaiia
tion upon the innocent, and shall continue to treat
the piivate enlisted soldiers of Gen. Pope’s aimy
as prisoners of war; hut if after notice to the
Government at Washington, of our confining re
pressive measures to the punishment only of com
missioned officers who are willing participants in
these crimes, these savage practices are continued,
we shall reluctantly be forced to the last resort of
accepting the war on the terms chosen by our foes,
until die outraged voice of a common humanity
loices a respect for the recognized rules ot war*
While these facts would justify our refusal to
execute the generous cartel 'by which we have
consented to liberate an excess of thousands of
: prisoners field by us beyond the number held by
the enemy, a sacred regard to plighted faith,
springing from the mere semblance of breaking a
promise, prevents our resort to thin extremity.-
Nor do we desire to extend to any other forces of
the enemy the punishment merited alone by Gen.
Pope and such commisuoned officers as choose to
participate in the execution of the infamous or
ders.
7on are, therefore, instructed to communicate
t.o the t omrounder in-Chief oi the armies of the
United States the contents of this letter, and a
copy enclosed of th** General Qider, to the end
that lie may be notified of our intension not. to
consider any officers hereafter captured from Gen.
Pope’s army aa prisoners of war.
Very respectfully, yours, &e ,

Negro Regiments offered for the War.—
Delegations of radicals are here from various parts
of the North importuning the administration to
accept regiments of negroes from these States.—
They threaten to retard enlistments until their
propositions are accepted. One of them declares
that his Congressional District will not furnish a
man until this shall be done, but promises a negro
regiment in two weeks. This is anew phase of
the radical warfare upon the administration.—
Their course is attributed to two motire r —one to
compel the administration to adopt their policy of
arming tho blacks, and the other, the most potent
reason, to get rid of the competition of free col
ored laborers anil cmancipwted npgroes with the
white working men of their district.— Yankee Pa

The second is for 47 4 tana of R. Iff iron pur i
•ffiaoed 4,3$ Tie Macon Western R. ft., at S4O per i
ion, in' pursuance of the policy announced in the :
hist repot r ol replacing the light fi.tnge iron now
on the road with that of a heavier pattern, which I
allows us to discontinue ihe use of string timber.
Os this heavy iron the amount liid down during
the year has been 744 tons, aufi the weight of the |
light iron removed near 27 tons, leaving the differ
ence of 47* tons to be paid for in cash, the dis
tance in feet of (rack laid with the heavy raff now
is 21,402, or a little over four miles—about a mile
and a quarter having been laid this year.
The account Maintenance of way has been
charged with 4.756 and 250 striegets
in aji a’cPiff ct.SOu feet board measure, the cost
.of widen has been $2,525.50; The expenses have
been as much reduced a? was possible sllowiug
the property to be kept in gyeff repair. At cue
time, it was thought that it would be necessary to
MscoßUoue the running of trains on tbe road, ,
but as the deficit cotutinned to remain small, if was |
resolved to keep if in Operation, as such a c t»p
would deteoralu the value of the- p.rap .ir, as weil
I va cause much ua ony i.;4- to the public, li.e
i'tKid tiff an t appurte«ances are iu comparatively
’ good order; the rolling etock, however, v< quires
some repairs, which may mate!tally increase the
< existing deficiency. Should stick he the case, it
will be necessary to lavy u small assessment upon
the capita; c tock. aa was agreed upon by tbe
meeting in January last.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

the Committee, to whom was referred the pe
tition ot Isaac Geott, Lsq., m reference to parties
erecting wood buildings on the vacant lot of Mr.
Woodruff’s, for the purpose of manufacturing fric
tion matches, find that said lot is not in the “fire
limits,’’ and therefore cannot prevent the erection
of wooden buildings.
Section 20ih of the City Charter authorises the
Mayor and Council to cause any stovp, stove-pipe,
lor other thing which shall endanger the c : tv as to
i fire, to be removed and remedied as their pru
i dence shall dictate.
We, therefore, called upon Messrs. Ferrell, and
they assured us they kept no matches in the pre
| m,SOR at night, and only kept the building on the
j * ot a ’ a work shop. And that the material used
for making them was such as was kept in every
drug store in the city, and in most cases in much
j larger quantities, as ‘ they only keep a small sup
ply at the shop. They also assured us that they
had a night watch, and did not expect to erect
any other buildings. With this assurance the
Committee hog to be discharged from any further
