onor of taking possession of a fortress which the former had reduced. For, in pursuance of the original agreement between Dahlgren and Gillmore, the latter was actively preparing transportation for two small picked regiments, numbering together five hundred men, with whom he intended to take Sumter by escalade. This "misunderstanding"was quite fully developed by a recent correspondence between Dahlgren and Gillmore, of which we have minute information in a letter received yesterday from Hilton Head. Dahlgren first writes to Gilmore, requesting him to "subdue the fire" of Sumter, as be intended soon to remove the obstructions between that work and Moultrie, adding that if that fire could be "subdued" he might be saved the necessity of engaging Sumter with his iron clads, all whose powers would be required against the interior defences of Charleston.

To pass over all other history of the change of naval commanders before Charleston, the assignment of Dahlgren to work his own guns against the city and its defences was a policy of necessity as well as of justice. He went down and took command, and then struck hands with Gillmore on the bargain that the army should take Morris Island, reduce Fort Wagner and the works on Cumming's Point, and from that position knock Sumter to pieces with Parrott guns, or silence its fire; and, this being done, that the navy should anchor its iron clads off the wharves of Charleston. Gillmore has performed his part of the bargain. Dahlgren has not performed his. Why? the country asks. For two reasons: 1. For want of range in the navy guns. 2. From a "misunderstanding" between him and Gillmore. This misunderstanding is of
