CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.
Men in this and surrounding counties are daily in the habit of
denouncing the Government, the war, and all engaged in it, and are
doing all they can to prevent enlistments. This should be stopped, so
far as relates to enlistments, in some way. The Government needs
men, and that as soon as possible. But with an organized determina-
tion on the part of a very considerable number of men in each county,
the work of enlistment must go on slowly.
I hope something in relation to this matter may be done at once.
Yours, truly,
JAMES F. WILSON.

His Excellency A. LINCOLN,
President of the United States:
No recruiting for old regiments is in progress in Kentucky, no
details for that purpose, as we understand the general orders to
require, having been made. The late excitement in Kentucky has so
retarded preparations for new regiments that no idea can now be
formed as to period of completion of any of them.

President of Military Board.

(Via Bath. Received 4.20 p. m.)
His Excellency A. LINCOLN:
The State pays additional bounty of $10 to recruits for old regi-

regiments can march in twenty days-say one in ten, one in fourteen,
one in sixteen, and one in twenty days, but Government should send
immediately a paymaster. Also, arms for one regiment are wanted.

Secretary of State of the United States of America, &c.:
SIR: I have the honor to bring to your knowledge that I have just
received from his excellency the minister of the King for foreign
affairs instruction relative to the facts which have occurred at the
consulate of the Netherlands at New Orleans on the 10th and 11th of
the month of May, this year.
Approving fully the line of conduct which I thought it my duty to
pursue in that business, the Royal Government shares the satisfaction
which I experienced when by your letter of 5th of June you were so
good as to inform me, sir, that the President and Government of the
United States viewed the conduct of the military authorities at New
Orleans as a violation of the law of nations; that they disapproved
it, and disapproved the sanction there given to it by Major-General
Butler. But the King's Government flatters itself that of the United
States will go further. In the view of the King's Government, the
gravity and publicity of the outrage demand that the Government of266
