Washington, Jan. IL, 1862 (

MY DEAR SIR--I have the honor TO acknoWl.
edge your favor of this date, and to thank you
with profound respect, for its kind and generous
tone. When you were elected President, re-
suit to which contributed my best exertions,
had no thought of leaving the Senate of the
United States, or of accepting any position
within your gift. But when yon invited me to
Springfield, IllinoIs, and presented me the
choice of one of two named places In the List
of your constitutional advisers, could not, for
grave public reasons, and after great reflection,
refuse a trust go trying and labOrious. Ny life
had been one OF constant labor and excitement
/ looked to the Senate as the best field, alter
such life, in which to serve my country and
nv State. Il was only when realized that
might be of service to the general cause in the
darkly shadowed future, that yentured to un-
dertake the manifold and various responsibilities
Of the War Department. felt, when / saw
the traitors leaving their seats In Congress, and
when the star Of the West was fired upon In
Charleston haIbor, that bloody conflict was
inevitable.
/ have devoted myself without interruption
to my official duties, and have given to them
all my energies. have done my best. 1t was
impossible, in the direction Of operations 80 ex-
tensive, but that some mistakes should have
happened, and some complications and COM
rlaints should have arisen, In view Of such
considerations thank you for the expression Of
your confidence 10 my ability, patriotism, and
fidelity to public trust. Thus my own consclen-
tious sense Of doing my duty by the Executive
and BY my country is approved by the acknoWl.
edged head of the Government himself.
When became q member Of your Admins
tration, avowed my purpose to retire from
the Cabinet as soon as my duty to my country
would allow me to do so. 10 your letter of this
DAVIS date, so illustrative of your just and up
right character, you revive the fact that | some
time ago expressed the same purpose to you,
and in reminding me Of this, you proffer for my
acceptance one Of the highest diplomatic posi-
tions at your bestoWal, as an additional mark
of your confidence and esteem.
In retiring from the War Department, feel
that the mighty arm Of the United States is
ready to do battle for the Constitution; that Il
is marshsled BY gallant and experienced lead
ers; that it iS animated with the greatest enthu
siasm for the good cause, and also that my sue
cessor in this Department 10 my personal friend,
who unites to wonderful intellect and vigor the
grand essential OF being 10 earnest in the pres
eut struggle, and Of being resolved upon
speedy and overwhelming triumph Of our arms.
/ therefore frankly accept the new distinction
you have rendered me, and as soon as important
and long neglected private business can be artaIi.
Red, l Will enter upon the important duties Of
the mission which you have assigned me.
