Considerable freedom Of expression ID now allowed,

A. the time Of the capture Of Port Royal, Mr..
Spencer says SSvannah could have been taken

tatons Of Union feeling until 1t 10 settled beyond
doubt that tho Government b able to maintain its
position. With references to the emancipation pro-

met with tho remark There, told you this was

duced to strike blow for their own freedom, or
in iaet that they will ever hear OF the prociana

Island Artillery, under Capt Could with the sar,e
boats, assembled the Savannah to within two miles
o: Fort Jackson, and broke up a working party

dressed to au L. s. Genera! by one Of the French
Princes, add published in the New York paper3
We shall always remember that campaign with
.he Army OF the Po omac as one Of the best and
| most interesting epOchs of our youth. II is with
regret ths. we left our companions in arnis, and
nothing can be more gratifying to us than such 'es
| timonies OF remembrance and esteem need not
| aid that hearty wishes st;!l accompany them
shst the dstsace has only strengthened the inter
Dat we take IN the success of the great for
| which we fought together.
| Depeni upon it, however ignorant and pre- judi
cial may he hs public at large, there st,i. OF
| this side Of the Atlantic some hearts who follow
| with emotion the struggle Of great and free na
ton fer her Institutions, and who cannot believe I
the uitiQats of the efforts OF deluded mi
nority to establish a new community whose corner
sons shall bs so cdious SO dangerous, and so pre-
carioUs 6u institution As that of slavery.
| Before ending this letter, (or the bad English g
| which l must spoloGizs.) let sill. tell you. uiJ
dear General hew glad should be to shake handl
| again with you, and 10 talk once mere with you o.
your winter quarters in that wild corner Of Mary
| land, or OF thesummeT days whsn your tent wa:
! pitched on the field of battle of Fair Oaks!'
| beg you, my dear General to believe me al
| ways, very truly, yours.
