body this morning at ten O'Clock. They were
cordially received In the East Room by the
President, who took each by the hand seper.
ately, as they were introduced to him. After
the Introductory ceremonies were over, Mr..
George II. H. Stuart, the chairman OF the
Commission, made short speech, in witch he
thanked Mr.. Lincoln for the hearty co.opera-
ton the Commission had received from him.
The President responded in an appropriate
manner, expressing his thanks for the visit
made. s'You owe me no thanks for what /
may have been able to do for you. If may
be permitted to say it, owe you no thanks for
what you have so excellently done for the
country-and for me. We are both alike
working in the same cause and it is because
Of the fact of its being just one. which gives
US our mutual Joy and reward in its service !"
He continued by again expressing his thanks
for the visit, and his warmest wish for the
entire success of the Commission in its great
work. The Oommss sion, after little informal
conversation, withdrew, being much Impress

FROM THE FRONT.

Heavy Firing from Fort Brady-The Rebel
Rams Severely Handled in Attemptin ne
to Retreat up James River-One of the
Rams Badly Damaged.
A letter dated Headquarters Army OF the
james, January 25th. says:
This morning, about o'clock, heavy firing
was heard in the direction Of Fort Brady,
which proved to be our guns opening on the
feet as they attempted to pass the fort on their
way back from their unsuccessful attempt to
run past our works.
What damage was done it was impossible to
ascertain, owing to the darkness, though it is
