SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,


January 3, 1865. !
Dear Gd1ttte:-"Push on the good
work, and Heaven bless the ladies"
have looked and looked in vain for
some one TO return our thanks to those
kind lady friends who have been labor
ing so diligently, that our comfort and
happiness might be promoted. Surely
they moro than deserve our combined
thanks but Websters are few in
number here-and Beocher will not
speak. But u simple word from my
own lowly pen may be acceptable at
tho hands of those who have contri bu-
ted so much for the benefit of "the
boys" We love the Gazette, and our
lair fr lends know it. But do they
know how many heartfelt thanks have
been whispered; how many "God
bless the girls" have been repeated by
quivering lips? Did they bat know, i
am certain they would feel themselves
richly paid for their arduous labors to
alleviate our many wants. They could
not have chosen n better way whereby
dull care and the WEAKNESS Of monot-
onous camp liic could be driven away.
Dur Home paper is thrice welcome
visitor to our lone y camp. And when
it comes in the name of THE GIRLS, do
you wonder why we prize it 80 highly?
| think not, For vixen they are for us
who can be against as?
Fight on, noblo girlsl your willing
hands can do more at home towards
supprcssng this rebellion, than our
swords and bayonets can in the field.
Ncrved and encouraged by your kind
deeds, we will try to 90 forth with re
newcd vigor And if we are destined
to fall by the SHOT Of the enemy-if we
are 90 breathe our last breath upon the
field Of carnage, our last whispered
words shalt bo in praises of Misses
Barbara, Becky, Ella, MilIio, Lucy,
etc. etc. etc.

The above is fully confirmed by the
city papers Of yesterday. Just now it
looks like the most mastery affair of
the war. Before it was even generally
known that the attempt on tho robol
stronghold was 10 beroncwed, we are
stunned (most agrocably) BY tho news
OF its fall. GRANT must have got his
mad " up in deadly earnest, under
the influence of the previous failure,
and determined to show the world that
"somo things could be done as we'll
as others"

GEN. BUTLEK,s REMOVAL.

1t is natural to suppose that tho re-
lief Of this officer from his command
was in consequence Of tho failure Of
the attack on Fort Fisher, the key to
Wilmington and that ho is by the
authorities blamed for that failure.
But it is by no means certain that this
constituted tho sole reason for that
measure. The accounts of correspon.
dents IN relation TO ii are 80 tinctured
with q bias in favor Of, or prejudice
against Con. Butler, That in our opinion
the most proper course will bo to take
il for granted that the step was not
taken'by the Executive without GOOD
mud sufficient reasons, whether those
reasons involve ecnsuro upon the
Generals military action in the case,
referred to, or otherwise.
For our own part, wc cannot get
over the belief that tho Wilmington
expedition might have been success.
tnl, Dut for mis.managemcnt, or short.
coming, on the part of some one or
more Of It's oiIicers-and great as is
our admiration for Gen Butler for his
many high and excellent qualities, We
donot ieol justified in calling in question
the wisdom or expcdsney Of his su-
,,erccdure, in view Of the inct that II
was tho act of officials possessed OF
mnch information hearing upon il
which no citizen has had access TO-
Any opinion formed or expressed by
private individuals in regard to il
must necessarily be based upon very
limited and partial knowledge OF
the iacts and circumstances which led
10 the measure IN question.
Gen. Butler himself, in his farewell
order on taking leave of his command
seens,to attribute his removal to thC
fact that he had declined risking th,
sacrifice Of the lives Ok his soldiers Ia
what DO regarded as ssclcss assault
upon the fort. This may all have
been very weil--,but we .aannot sec
what reason there ever .oosid have
been for supposing that Fort Fisher
under the circumstances OF that expo
diGons would be taken Without a dc
,termined, powerful, and snost bIoodj
assaalt by the land forces. ''.
