You assert that I planned and urged the assault on Fort Wagner of the eighteenth of July last. That is much more credit than I deserve. I had too steadfastly advocated, as a principle, that intrenchments defended by the rifle had not been successfully assaulted in this war, to urge or to plan this assault as an exception. Secessionville and its lesson were too close at hand to be forgotten. But this assault was virtually successful. Our men entered the work, held a part of it for hours, took prisoners from the garrison. And before attributing any failure to me, would it not have been well for you to have learned the whole truth from the few who know it, (and very few know the entire facts concerning any engagement whatever,) before charging me with so many personal, political, and military crimes, because there was

erhaps one or two other important points, so strong that two hundred or three hundred men will be sufficient at each point. Twenty-five hundred men in addition to the two regiments that have been permanently stationed in this State (one at St. Augustine and one at Fernandina) ought to be ample in Florida. The artillery captured here will suffice for such defensive works as may be deemed necessary. I desire to see the lumber and turpentine trade on the St. John's River revived by loyal all send a portion of that regiment to this point as soon as it can be spared subsequent to my advance. I have sent for the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts entire, to come to this point. The Tenth Connecticut (eight companies) is to remain at St. Augustine, two companies to go to Picolalia. I shall not occupy Pilatka or Magnolia at this moment; when I do, portions of the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts will be sent from Jacksonville.

I am s reason to believe that General Hardee is in Lake City, now possibly in command, and with some forcs: I am convinced that a movement upon Lake City is not, in the present condition of transporons. A raid to tear up the railroad west of Lake City will be of service, but I have no intention rning, and proceeded on the main road toward Lake City. I am confident the force did not exceed thock, we started once more for a place called Lake City, thirty-six miles distant, which, if we had been reversed, our army safely intrenched in Lake City, and Florida wrested from the hands of the rd in getting as far as within a few miles of Lake City.

I shall not occupy Pilatka or Magnolia at this moment; when I do, portions of the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts will be sent from Jacksonville. The Fifty-fifth Massachusetts will remain here for the prstructions, which were for the present to hold Baldwin and the St. Mary's south prong as your outposts to the westward of Jacksonville, and to occupy Pilatka and Magnolia on the St. John's. Your prospect distinctly and avowedly ignores these operations, and substitutes a plan which not only involves your command in a distant moged between us, at a present interview, that the places to be permanently held for the present would be the south prong of the St. Mary's, Baldwin, Jacksonville, Magnolia, and Pilatka, and that Henry's mounted forces should be kept moving as circumstances might justify or require. This is my plan of present operations. A raid to

probably attach more credit than to any assertion of mine: United States steamer Planter, land's end, South-Carolina, April 4, 1864. To the Editors of the Evening Post: Please allow me, through your columns, to correct an error which I find by perusing your paper of the — ultimo, under the heading of General Seymour and the battle of Olustee, in which you say: His contemptuous treatment of Robert Small, the gallant colored pilot who brought the steamer Planter out of the harbor of Charleston, and who is one of the heroes of our war, has already been recorded in this paper. Through all courtesy to your paper and justice where justice is due, I must say that from the first day of my arrival within the Union lines, General Seymour has always shown me the greatest regard, whenever in public or private, inquiring how I was or if I was in need. Shortly after turning the Planter over to the United States Government, General Seymour sent for me, and after several interrogations,

nger of carrying away any portion of the track. All troops are therefore being moved up to Barber's, and probably by the time you receive this, I shall be in motion in advance of that point. That a force may not be brought from Georgia (Savannah) to interfere with my movements, it is desirable that a display be made in the Savannah River; and I therefore urge that upon the reception of this, such naval force, transports, sailing vessels, etc., as can be so devoted, may rendezvous near Pulaski, and that the iron-clads in Warsaw push up with as much activity as they can exert. I look upon this as of great importance, and shall rely upon it as a demonstration in my favor. There is reason to believe that General Hardee is in Lake City, now possibly in command, and with some force at his disposal. But nothing is visible this side of Sanderson. Saddles, etc., for mounting the Seventh New-Hampshire as rapidly as possible, are greatly needed, and I shall send a portion of that
