Gilmore’s reply, a brief notice of which has been published from the Rebel papers, to Beauregard’s communica- tion, already printed at length, of the same date: DEPARTMENT OF THE SouTuH, Headquarters in the Ficid, Morris Island, 8. C., uy, By 9p. m. Sir: 1 have the honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your commuuication of this date, com- plaiming that one of my batteries had opened upon the city of Charleston, and thrown a number of heavy rifle shells into that city, the inhabitants of which, of course, were asleep and unarmed. My letter to you dematding the surrender of Fort Sumter and Morris Island, and threaten- ing in defuult thereof to open fire upon Charles- ton, was delivered near Fort Wagner at 11.15 o'clock @ m. on the 2ist inst., and should have arrived at your headquarters in time to have permitted your answer to reach me within the limit assigned, namely: four hours. The fact that you were absent from your headquarters At the time of its arrival may be regarded as an unfortunate cumstance for the city of Charleston, but it is one for which I clearly am not responsible. This letter bore date at my headquarters, and was officially delivered by an oflicer of my staff The imadvertent omis— sich of my Signature doubtless affords ground for special pleading, but it is not the argument. of a commander solicitous only for the safety of Fleeping women and children and unarmed mex. Your threats of retaliation for acts of mine, which you do not allege to be ia violation of civilized warfare, except as regards the length of time allowed as notice of my intentions, are parsed by without comment. I will, however, call your attention to the well-established :ciple that the commander of a place at- wectod: baying pe open and practicable, has no right to et any notice of an intended bombardment, other than that which is given by the threaten- ing attitude of his adversary. Even had this letter not been written, the city of Charleston has had, according to your own compatation, forty days’ notice of her danger. During that time my attack npon her defenses has sieadily progressed, The ultimate object of that attack has at no time been doubted. if, under the circumstances, the lifs of a single uon-combatant is exposed to paril by the bombardment of the city, the responsibili- y rests with those who have firs: failed to ra. move the non-combatants, or secure the safety cf the ¢ stter haying held control of all its < fora period of nearly two years and the presence of a threatening force, 0 afterwards refused to accept the terms rdment might hive “rious sources official » Tam led to believe that mostof children of Charleston were from the city Bat upon the city is still fall of spend the bombardment until o-morrow, thus giving you two days trom the time you acknowledge to have received my communication on the 2st inst.

At Rocky Gap he encountered tho forces of Gen’l Jones and Col. Patton and had asevere action, i Which be lost about one handred men in ied and wounded, including several offi- cers. Gen.

Important Drarr Deciston.—Governor Buckingham, of Connecticut, has returned irom Washington after a conference with the War Department respecting the application of towns which have farnished a surplus of vol- unteers to be exempted from the draft. The Department has decided su>stantially as fol- lows: «+ That there was no authority ander the laws of Congress to deduct the surplas of vol- | unteers which may have been farnished by towns trom the quota now ordered by the draft from those towns. That Congress had not authorized an apportionment of men to be drafted from towns, and such an apportion- ment would be a usurpation of legislative powers, would be acting outside of the pro. visions of the law, and involve the Department in inextricable embarrassment and difficulty, which cannot be attempted.”—Hartford paper, ea FrxanciaL.—New York papers of yesterday evening say :—The stuck market was lower toe day, and closed with symptoms of weakness.
