The principal point to which I drew .Mr. | and false imputations with w hich your letter j abounds A’ou say that I have “commenced my military ard’s attention was the extreme ' »P"> ( , )lerr b y selling at defiance the orders of the mforination «h.rl. was given to ns i refe.red I |iffipt , upoI1 wll ,? m the Constitution of my State lias content d the right to t onimand me.’’ Iam him to the notifications of blockades made by Gieat Britain dm ing tlie la'e war with Russia, and po nied out to him ilie care and precision tl hit'll, every pa.ti.mar was Mat. d in 1 I „ f Geoigia, in a contingency which, under the asked whether it was mtmded to issue similar | „ ..m JtSBtlSS&ja...... ,i :„i.. ...

I commence my military career, as you are j phased to term it by accepting service under the 1 flag ot the < unfedetale States, and I recognize ■ otices for each Somhein port t*s sooiias thei a. taul blockade i f it should commence. 1 h»- n-ply w-lih-b I receivid was, ilm* tbe prac tice of tbe I’ni ed Stales was not to issue such notices, but to notify the Ido. hade ,„diyid..a:ly «<• | p reiille ^ ,/ //,, Confederate States eael. v,s-sel approaching the l.loekad. .11 port, and nj| (/ „ wl „, m lhe Coustmilion (to to u,scribe a in- niorai dnn. of the notice having | wG . i pa ft V ) ‘ - - b- eu givt ii on tin ship's papers. No vessel was liah'e to seizure w lii.-h had i ot been individually warned. This plan bad, I was assured, been found tube, in pracliee, tbe most convenient and ihe faiiest for al! parries The fact ol there being blockading ships pre-elit to give tbe warning was the best notice and the best proof ihat the port was actually and t ffectnally blockaded. The piineipal objection to the plan appeared to me to be, that it might in some case expose foreign vessels to tht loss and incoiiveuienee of making a useh ss voy age, which a more general and public announcement of the blockade would have pie- venlt d. I observed to Mr Seward that the limits ol blockade which it was intended to establish were not clearly staled. It was not easy to uinierstand exactly to what extent of coast the expnssioti •the ports within” the States mentioned was ap plicable. Mr Seward said that it was intended i to b'oekade the whole coast trom Chesapeake Bay j to the momh ot ibe Rio Giaade. I observed to j him that the extent of ibe coast between thes- two points w as. I suppose, about 3,0 I) miles, ‘sure'y t the L'niu il States bad not a naval force sliffiei-lit • o establish all .-ft* clive blockade of such a length i t coast. Mr .- ewaid. however, maintained that tbe whole would be blockaded, aud blockaded ef fectively. I may. perhaps, lie allowed to refer your lord ship to a clear declaration ; f (lie principles of tin United States on such mattet*. which is contained in a til le fiom Mr. Bui'liaiian. dated 'z!Mi Decem ber. irGli.atid tiansuiitti d to the Foieign Office in Sir Uieiiaid l’ackeiilmm's dispatch of the same date. Mr. Seward assured me that all foreign vessel.- already in port when the blockade should t»e set on foo*, would he allowed l«> come out with tin ii cargoes I asked whether tiny would be allowed to come out with caigms shipped at.ei th} block ade was actually establish, d. Mr Sew aid did nm speak positively on this point; what he said seemed to imply th it the lime at w Inch the cargo was shipped would not be inquired into. 1 said that 1 soppi sed that it was clearly understood that fmsign ships coming out of bit ekadi d ports in wliii Ii ilieie was no United States customs am bin i- tics would not be interfered with on the plea ot their lining without iIrarance or othi r papets re quited hy tin revmiie law s Mr. Seward said that it was tlm honofide inten tion ot ill • Government to allow- for* ign vessels already iu port w hen the bluekaile was established tod. part without mol. station lie did not -ay that any paiticular term would be fixed al ter the expiration of which tor* ign ves sels would no longer be allowed to quit blockaded ports. lie did not repeat to me the assurance he gave some time ago t - one ol my colleagues, that ves Be s arriving without a knowledge of I fie hlockad- would he allowed to go into a blockaded poll and come cut again. Nor did tie say anything of the intention, which he ex pressed to another of my colleagues, of pro posing to the Legi-laiure that the United Stans should adhere to the declatatiuu of the Congress of Faii* on maritime law. j point their field . flic On my pressing Mr. Reward to give me nihet I „| OIM .. it d,ff el s Tn m in writing i r at allevnits liy a tonne I veibal an-.l liiililiceuu lit. some definite information for th* | guidance of British merchant vessels, lie pr. mised has conferred the tig til fu command me.” It is true* that I tender ed, under instructions from my company, their Si rvice to tlm Confederate 8taies through you, in the fiist instance: this, however, was simply_ because ihe Piesideiit had adopted ihat mode of obtaining troops as a matter ot public conveni ence and »ml heruu-e there >rcr jcos any Consti tution or law winch rrijinred him to appeal to the Slate Executives: still less is there any ground for your asseitiou that the rights of the .-states aie violated by the Piesident receiving troops directly, without the intervention of tho Governors. „ You labor, and have constantly labored, under the erroneous impression that Tut are the STATE he Geoigia. 1 beg leave to protest against this conclusion, ill which, I assure you. lean never concur. By tbe Constitution of the Confederate States, to w hich Georgia has agreed, the Confed erate Government is olone chargeable with ques tions of peace and war, and lias the exclusive i ig hr, except iu case of invasion, to raise and main- ain aritii. s. 1 he Congress, and nut the Guver- oois ot Slates, are entrusted with the power to raise these armies: and as rbc Constitution is broad and unqualified in this grant of power, the Congress is.unrestricted in the mode hi which it shall be exeicised. The-President of tiie Con federate Mates is tiie Commander in-Chief of riiesn armies, thus laised, for a common cause; and the Governors of Statts have not, so fat as I am aware, any jurisdiction or power over tins sul.j.-ct, <snjiL so far as pa'riotism may induce them to co-operate with tho General Government in times of great emergency and danger. A’our conclusion, therefore, that “the act of Congress under w hii ii 1 go, is a palpable encroachment up on the rights ol the States,” does not tti tho least disturb me. Neither upon reason or authority do I consider the opinion of much value. I think most, people will prefer the judgment of the Con i'derate Congress and the Piesident of tho Con- | fedcra'e States, w ho gave the act their deliberate { sanction. ! You have fallen into another error upon this jsuij-ct. A'ou say “ihat I proceeded to the Coii- ! federate Coitgiess, of which 1 am a member, and that a bill was passed, you suppose,chiefly by my uifluenci, which authorizes the President to re- j.t-ne the military forces of the States over the I bead and independent ot State authority.” You timber say that, “under tbis act I was accepted into service, without your consent, and peimit- t- d to leave Savannah and go to \rirginia.” I assue y ou. in passing, that 1 shall never think it necessary to obtain your consent to enter the set vive of my country. God forbid that 1 shou'd ever fall so low. But to ym.r charge. I know not to what act on leter. as the one under w hich I was accept 'd itpo service; but I will inform you that the act under which 1 serve is entithd. “An Act to raise additional forces to serve daring the war ” I hisaet. to the best of my remt mbrance. contains no allusion to the State authority, nor does it nl- lude in any part to the GoVernots of States. It is simply an act authorizing ihe President to accept the seiviees of volunteeia for tbe war, and to ap -ers : and in these tw o respects ni other ads under which vol unteers have betti accepted. 'Ibis bill was in- trodmtd into Congress by the Hon. Mr. AYigfall, f Texas, wit hunt any coBSHbation with me, re and I am willing and ready to devote it. You taunt me with deserting my home and the defense of my fireside, “to serve the common cause in a more pleasant summer climate ‘ I wi-h you were here to witness the realities of this service >nu deem so pleasant. It would cure you, I ■hiiik, of .siirno of your ma-icious propensities. You taunt me also, with having imposed upon others thei duty of defending the post which* have deserted : and vet. when you penned this volt knew w-hat you had steadily refused to call the volunteer troops of Savannah into service ol any kind: and that you had called “many of oui bravest young m n from other parts of the State to fill our places,” and defend our homes, while we were permitted to rest in inglorii us ease. 1 be volunteer troops oi Savannah are now in service, not through yon, but by the direct eider of the Commander-in Chief of the Confederate forces All that you say upon this subject is Jesuitical, designed to subsen’ea purpose r tiler than nar rate the truth I have the same right to judge that yon have as to the probability ol an attack up on Savannah. 1 here is scarcely a seaboard city along the Atlan'tc coast that lias not its represent atives lien- in Arirgiiiia Why should Savannah be an exception ? Surely one company could be spared, at least, to show that her !i. j art bent true to the common cause, and that he.' you h were ready to court danger upon tiie very frontiers of the war. Such a spirit is not what you hive characterized it. It is probably above your com prehension, but the generous and noble heai ted of my native State will know how to appreciate il. And now as tn in* arms. I did not ...-I- to arm or to equip me. f had already receiver from the iato Government of the United States through yon, arms and equipments, which cost the State of Georgia nothing They were deliv ered to me and you took my bond tor their sat* keeping, unless destroyed in the public service Y'ou have threatened me with the penalty o' ho bond. Take it, if you van get it. That is your remedy. If I have been wrong in taking th* the arms away from Georgia, 1 am a trespasser and of course responsible. 1 think th power you claim to disarm companb s once armed and under bonds, at vour will. is. to say the lea-t of it, doubt way to avoid it. I would rather yield, than have a controversy with any man where the public in- t-rests arc involved But, situated rs I was, I prefer disobedience, if you please, rather than to jeopard the honor and the safety of one hundred men confided to my care. You seem to think 1 am arrogant in claiming our humble share inrep- ' resenting llie State of Georgia on this field ot | action. You say that you are not aware of tin *1310 authority by which I am called to represen' j the State of Georgia in Virginia. Y’ou make here j again, your common error, of supposing that you ate the S ole of Georgia—a mistake in which 1 di not participate.

A battle between the forces under these two able mid efficient officers is *-x pected to take place on smile day during this week, yon will probably get news of the battIt before this r*-acin s you But our friends shotih understand and appreciate the main object foi which Harper’s Ferry has been evacuated. The enemy opened tire again on yesterday fron the Kip Raps, and shot eleven of Sawyer’s shell* at the Sewall’s Point batt- ry. The tiring began a 11 .j o'clock, a m, and continued at interval.- from 111 to Io minutes until 2 l o’clock, p. in. A number of the shells fell near the battery, sum. ot them fell within a f- w hundred yards nf out camp. The firing occasioned iittlo else ihat amusement in our camp. The oblong shellssen to the F'oyd KiS s and Macon Volunteers’ Armor ies are the Sawyer shells. Hon. Howell Cobb visited our camp on day before yesterday at 4 p. ni , and remained nnli G o’clock on yesterday, p. m. He made a fim speech ti) our Battalion on tin* first evening,aud it was cheered with much enthusiasm. He was serenaded by a number of our amateur musicians at night He was here dur.ng tbe ti ing of th* enemy fr m the Kip Raps. Gen Huger visited our camp soon after the firing ceased. He stated that the gun fired by the enemy was offered to and iejected by him while he was in the U. S service and stationed at Fortress Monroe. Besides those mentioned. Miss Evans, tiie authoress of Beulah, and her mother, Lieut. Col Lomax, and Cap . Andrews of the Mrd Regiment Alabama volunteers, visited our camp on yester day. Gen. Huger advised Major Hardeman to move his camp from its present location, and according ly w e shall move this afternoon to a better ground nearly three fourths of a mile distant. We were gratified to learn from the General that fifteen pieces of artillery and three Artillery Com panies are stationed about two miles from our campground With these and our Battalion we shall be able to give our enemies a warm recep tion, should they attempt to laud at Sewell's Point.

What he say* of matters is thus stated in tlte Philadel phia correspondence of the New Yorl Tribune who writes: Mr. Dallas converses very tin reserve dh about the feeling of the British Ministry toward this Government. He believed the Ministry to be hostile to ns, and that Lord John Russell’s early recognition o the rebels as belligerents was not a pre mature declaration to be repented of here after, but a deliberate policy to be adlier ed to, a-s far as it goes. He is disposed t* believe that the great arbiter is Cotton— that as the stock on band will keep tin F.nglish mills employed until November rite Ministry will not npeniy countenance the rebellion until jt is ascertained wlietli er the new crop is to be expoited or not If we crush the rebels and permit tlte new crop to be exported, all will be satisfacto ry to John Hull; if we fail to do so, ant John Bull has to do without cotton, tliei some occasion will be found to get up t difficulty and force tbe. blockade. If tin war here continues until November, Bui will keep tolerably quiet, making only at occasional roaring. Hence, as tbe tiint for shipping the new crop approaches, tbe question of bow England means to act will be more clearly answered. Mr. Dallas thinks that if tbe Ministry were to be- too openly for the rebellion now, Exeter Halt would turn them out forth with, while, un less they made some show of favoring the Cotton lords, they would do tlie same thing; so as it is for office, after all, that they*are contending, their future policy will be just such as they may think the most likely to insure to them a continu ance of power.

Depend upon it, mothers, enthusiastic gratitude of the poor fellows ter: j it will give rest to yoursplvae, and relief and health whom they have relieved. Nor do they grow weary in well-doing, although tbis labor of love grows daily on their hands. But it is perfectly obvious that the work of charity may be expected soon to assume proportions by which their strength will be utterly overwhelmed. YVbile Cul peper has furnished her due share of vol unteers for the war, it is not fair to expeet this one neighborhood of the country to be burthened with the whole care of the sick of a great army, drawn from a large part of Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. It seems to me as much as we can ask of them, to bestow their time and labor for the relief of those whom Providence thus throws upon their Christian charities, while the people of all the region from which these troops c<>me, should take upon riiemselves, as a privilege, the providing of ill the materials needed for their benevo lent ministry. J, therefore, take this me thod, unsolicited by the people of the place, to suggest to the charitable, and especially to all the Christian females, as i most appropriate way of doing good, the eontribution ot such tilings as are needed in a large hospital, i.et each wife, sis ter and mother, throughout the South, *vho extends her aid to these generous sisters in Dulpeper, remember that, per- uaps, ber husband, her brother, Iter son, may be in tbis hospital before the cam paign closes, to feel the bitter need ol such comforts. Let me assure them, that if all the sorrowful incidents of war, the military hospital, even under the best regulations, is the most mournful; it is far more dreaded by the soldier titan the bat tle-field.—With all that an abounding charity can d<* to alleviate its evils, untold discomforts will still be endured by mul titudes; and that hy men who, at home, have been accustomed to eve y comfort. In every war, tlie “pestilence that wal- ketli in darkness” destroys more than “the destruction that wasteth at noon lay.” Hence it follows, that to save the precious lives and health of our sick sol diers is the best generalship,‘and the tru est patriotism, And every one who has a beloved relative in tbe amt}’, can surely comprehend something of the heart sink ing and dreary home-sickness with which the strong man lies down, wilted hy dis ease, amidst the scores of strangers sick, and hireling nurses, as lie thinks of his peaceful home far away f which he thinks lie shall most likely see no more) ami of the loving hands that would tend his sick couch there. Remember, that though your particular gift may not cheer the one yon love, in the hour of his suffering and despondency, it will cheer some other, and will be a cheap thank-offering to the Ft evidence who has raised up friends for your friend.
