to Mr.. Harper Twelvetrees, who presided at
the recent peace rejoicing meetings. held in
the Tower Hamlets, in England
Department OF State. Washington, Feb 4th,
1862. Dear Sir,--I acknowledge with sincere
pleasure the reception OF your lett ers of the
18th of January, and also of the proceedings
of public meeting, which was held on the
sllth of that month, in the Tower HamletS, on
the subject of the relations between your
country and mine. 1t is very gratifying to me
to be assured, as | am by those proceedings,
that the course which this government has
adopted, in regard 10 a question OF neutral
rights in maratime war, is approved by large
and respectable portion OF the British public
The policy of the American people, sir is a
policy OF peace at home, peace abroad, peace
with all nations, policy of freedom for their
extending empire, and policy hopeful of and
conducive to the ultimate freedom of all
classes and conditions of men. Whoever shall
wage war against the American people, will
find themselves obliged not only to commit
the first wrong, but TO become when they en-
ter the contest the enemies, not only of order
peace, and progress, on this continent but OF
human nature itself. With many thanks for
your great courtesy, and with best wishes now, ,
as always, for the prosperity and happiness Of
all your countrymen, l have the honor to be ,
your most obedient servant,

Maj. Gen. Commanding.

TnE n. Y. Times, which has long been un-
friendly to Gen. Fremont, renders, in let
ter from Washington the following tardy JUS
tice to the strategic foresight of that comman-
der. 1t says: sSpeaking of the successes OF
Foote and Porter, does it occur TO you TO look
back and give credit where credit is due to
the man who planned tho enterprises which
have yielded such abundant returns Do YOU
recollect the first charge brought against Fre-
mont. 1t was the one that he wasting money
in building gunboats TO be used on the Wcs-
tern rivers, and that an amending food of rid
icule and abuSeiwas heaped upon what was call
ed his visionary schemc.' Fremont was not
permitted to reap the full harvest OF the seed
that he planted but the future will know that
for the fall of Fort Henry, and for the ultimate
probable reduction of Colum bus and the clear
ing out of the Mississippi, the nation will be
indebted to Gen. Fremont's foresight and
adaptation OF means to an end. The campaign
of the west is coming back TO the lines upon
which Fremont stood when his triumpha mt
career was cut short. 1t is demonstrated that
1t will besuccess, only in that his swell. d igested
plans were carried out. Thus time and cir
cumstance vindicated him almost before the
ink is dry upon the paper that doomed him TO
inaction, and for time to public censure"

Soldiers Of The .8rmy Of the Potomac For a

armed, and instructed. The formidable ar
tillery you now have, had to be created Other
armies were to move, and accomplish certain
results. ! have held you back that YOU might

DISTRACTED our once happy country. The pa
thence you have shown, and your confidence
in your General, worth dozen victories.
These preliminary results are accom-

months have produced their fruit. The Army
of the Potomac, is now real army, magnif-

In whateyeridirection you may move, however

ISLAND No. l0.-Our gunboats attacked Is
land No. 10 in the Mississippi, on Monday the
10th, and have kept up the siege to the present
time without taking it. The Island has been
very strongly fortified by the rebels, and is
commanded by heavy batteries on both shores,
some of which will have to be reduced before
success will attend the efforts of the gunboats
Our men are confident of success finally.
