their successful demonstrations against Fort
Fisher. Gen. Curtis and other officers gave it
as their opinion that the fort might easily have
been taken, but, says the report "Gen. But
Ter, in direct violation OF the instructions given,
ordered the re-embarcaion of the troops and
the return Of the expedition"
The same troops, with small reinforcement,
were Immediately sent back under command of
Gen. Terry, and in about 4S hours from the
landing of the force. Fort Fisher was in our
possession, with all its armament and garrison.
The Red River campaign under Gen. Banks
is alluded to, but without any expression of
opinion as to the cause Of its foilure.
Gen. Grant closes his report with the follow
remarks upon the character Of the troops from
different sections of the country.
at has been my fortune to see the armies Of
both the west and the east fight battles, and
from what have seen | know there is no dif-
ference in their fighting qualities. All that it
was possible for men to do in battle they have
done. The western armies commenced their
battles in the Mississippi valley, and received
the final surrender of the remnant of the prn-
cipal army opposed to them in North Carolina.
The armies of the east commenced their battles
on the river from which the army of the Poto-
mac derived its name, and received the final
surrender of their old antagonist at Appomatox
Courthouse, virginia. Inc Splehdlu acnleVe-
ments of each have nationali2ed our victories,
removed all sectional jealouses, (of which we
have unfortunately experienced too much,) and
the cause of elimination and recrimination that
might have followed had either section failed
in its duty. All have a proud record, and all
sections can well congr ratuae themselves and
each other for having done their full share in
restoring the supremacy of law over every foot
of territory belonging to the United States.
Let them hope for perpetual peace and harmo-
ny with that enem4 whose manhood, however
mistaken the cause, drew forth such hercuean
deeds of valor

January, worn and gray,
Like an old pilgrim by the way,
Watches the snow, and shivering sighs,
As the wild curlew round him flies
Or, huddlcd underneath thorn,
Sits praying for the lingering morn.
February, bluff and bold,
O'er furrows striding, scorns the cold;
And with his horses two abreast,
Makes the keen pow do his bchest.
Rough March comes clustering down the road,
In his wrath hand the oxeu's goadi
Or, with a rough and angry haste,
Scntters the seed or the dark waste.
April, a child, half tears, half smiles,
Trips full Of little playful wiles;
And, laughing, meath her rainbow hood,
Seeks the wild violets in the wood.
May. the bright maiden, singing goes,
To where the snowy hawthorn blows,
Watching the lambs leap in the dell,
List'ning the simple village bells.
June, with tie mowers scarlet face,
Moves DER the clover-fed apace,
And fast his crescent scythe sweeps on
O'er spots from whence the lark has flown.
July---the farmer, happy fellow,
Laughs to see the corn grow yellow;
The heavy grain he tosses up
From his right hand rs from q cup.
August-the reaper cleaves his way
Through the golden waves at break Of day;
Or on his wagon piled with corn,
At sunset, home is proudly borne.
September, with his braying hound,
Leaps fence aud pale at every bound;
And casts into the wind in scorn
All cares and dangers from his horn.
October comes, woodmqn old,
Fenced with tough leather from the cold;
Round swings his sturdy axe, and 10!
A r.brauch falls Mt every blow.
November covers before the flame,
Blcarcd crone forgetting her own name!
Watching the blue smoke curling rise,
And broods upon old memories.
December, fat and rosy, strides,
His old heart warm. well clothed his sides,
With kindly word for young and old,
The cheercr for the bracing cold;
Laughing welcome, open filings
His doors, and as he does it, sings
