bDlroR FREEMAN Il can imagine some of
yer impatient readers, who love to hear Of blood
and carnage, as many do who are themselves safe
a'e wondering when we are going to commence
'~ Springs work. If any Of US knew, vs. would
Willingly impart the knowledge, but | doubt If
any one, except Him who knows the end of all
events from the beginning, could give the infor-
nation desired. A month ago not man of US
would have hesitated to bet two against one that
before this time we should be ON the march, We
have been expecting every day to hear the order,
|" Pack up for marching" bat that order is still
withheld. 1t is not our fault, COED friends, that
we are not at work. The Lord knows we are anx-
ous to finish this job as as possible, and re-
turn to our heart-oyed homes Notwithstanding
the discouragements, rough dealing and bad man
agement we have been subjected to, there is
scarcely man that shrinks from the coming con
test. Ofcoarse there are some that are always
finding fault, but in this regiment they are only
piteous minority. The grumblers are pretty well
slEted out. Account for it as you may, those who
came here from mere love of adventure, with no
heart for the work, who were always grumbling at
every measure the Government adopted, and
found fault when the best was done for them that
could be done, those were the first to get broken
deyn and sent home. The stauneh patriots, who
love their country and are willing to fight for it,
are here yet, and will remain here till the reg-
ment is sent home, il not absolutely compelled to
do otherwise. The health Of the regiment was
never better, and when the word comes, we are
ready and willing to 60 forward and do our duty
but we may not go till the word does come. Yes.
we are tc!!Ing to 90 forward not anxious from
mere love of excitement, bat like men in earnest
who know they have great and important work
to do, and can comprehend its magnitude. We
have seen too much Of war to desire its novelty.

HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE PoToMAC,
April 8, 1868.
To Jas. A. RoosereH, See. LolaL League

To Jas. a. Roosevelt, See. Loyal League:
SIR acknowledging the receipt of an nvi-
tatioa to be present at mass meeting of the loyal
citizens Of the United States, to be held at New
York on the 18th inst, have occasion to regret
that my duties will not permit me to be present
at The important as>embl'ge.
Permi me, however, TO express my hearty
sympathy with the objects and purposes of the
proposed demonstration, and to desire that my
name may be placed with those who so love their
country, its Union and its Constitution, as to be
glad to renew pledges Of loyalty and featy as Of
ten as circumstances will demand.
The frequent assembling together of our
countrymen for purposes of counsel and inter-
change Of thought upon the great natlona
question Of the day is one of the useful and COM
mendable duties of the times, which has my best
wishes, as it has those Of all honest and loyal
men.
The army which have the honor to command
is, am proud to say, ia such good health and in
40 excellent condition that | am warranted
in pledgng it to gallant blow for the defense
of our national unity and integrity, wherever
the enemy shall be met by the Army of the Poto.
mac.
That God may speed the cause of the Union
and popular liberty everywhere is the hopeful as
PlratlOn OF
Your obedent servant,
JOSEPH HOOKER,
Major General Comnandi,,g.
In the letter from Gen. Halleck is the follow
ing:
g. think no man who has carefully observed
the course of events in the rebel States since the
commencement Of this war, can now hope for any
other peace than that which is imposed by the
bayonet. The loyal States must conquer this re-
bellion, or it will conquer them. Loyal men OF
all parties, and all shades OF political opinion
must unite IN supporting the Government of our
fathers, or consent to see the glory and integrity
Of this great nation utterly destroyed by rebels
and traitors. This rebellion cannot be put down y
peaceful measures. Those who pretend to think
80 are either madmen or traitors 10 disguise. We
must either conquer or submit to terms dictated
by the southern oligtrchy. The great North and
West, with their vastly superior numbers and
means, can conquer il they Will act together L,
through factions and discussions, they fail TO do
this, they will stand forever disgraced ia TIE opn-
ion of the world, and will transmit that disgrace
to their posterity. We have already made i'm
znense progress in this war--a greater progress
than was ever before made under similar circum.
stances. Our armies are still advancing, and if
sustained by the voices of the patriotic millions
at home, they will ere long crush the rebellion r
the South, and then place their heels upon The
heads OF sneaking traitors in the North"
