DEAR SIR Not having been at the Post
Office for several days, yours Of the 18th
instant Is just recel7ed. As | am frequent
" sincerely Intercepted by friends, avail
myself of this method of answering all at
the same time, and have taken the liberty,
as you will observe, TO use your note, which
| hope, under the circumstances, you will
excuse. You do me but justice, when you
say that | have labored for the repeal of
the odious and unjust laws imposed upon
our people by the Radical party. No man
is more opposed TO them than | om, and
have most zeaously exerted my humble a
Lilities fer their abolition, and a leturn, as
Ear as .: acticable, TO our former laws and
couditon-aud no man is more DESTROYS for
Il certain and unequivocal provision in our
organic law, TO ufiectualy and forever Sc
cure our people ia (and to) their civil, DO
li'cal and religious rights, than | am
Other salutary changes could be made in
the Constitution which are very desirable
some pc pie are disposed to represent me
as being opposed to any changes in our
Constitution, which does me great inius-
ticc. As far as | ever heard you express
your opinion on the subject, we agree to the
letter in all the changes contemplated We
only differ with regard to the method of cf-
tecting those changes. We have authority,
as you are aware, under cur present consti-
turion, to make any change desired by the
people-by the Lcgislalure--in the same
manner that the "Flick Amendment" was
passed, and with this peculiar advantage as
| conceiye-that only one proposition is
Cor can bo) submitted to the people at the
same time. Whereas, when whole Con
stitution is submitted, it is almost more
than we eau expect, if thcro will not be
some features in it which will be objection
able. But we mus. accept them, for the
sake of the parts that are good, -"else We
lose all" And further, if we change our
Constitution in the mode ! suggest, we will
have a whole SUMNER to consider and dis
cuss the change proposed. Hence, no
change can be made which will not be fair
Iy and fully discussed aud understood by
the people
Hoping that I may be understood with
regard to Convention, permit me to sub
scribe myself, your humble servant,

Two hundred aud forty-tbree of the enc
my's dead were counted within and around
these works, aud City flags were taken.
TIE works were formidable not only from
the natural features Of the land, from shoals
rendered artifeially so by hundreds of wea-
pons, of various kinds, placed by the enc
my for their defence.
The gallant band which encountered and
overcamc the perils Of the navigation, which
fought Its way, against vastly superior for
ces, through mud aud marsh, over precipi-
tous hills and across difficult ravines, aud
finally stormcd and captured the enemy's
stronghold, is worthy of all praise.
To one and all the Commander in Chief
expresses his thanks, and the pride he feels
IN commanding such body Of officers and
men. he makes known to the command
ing officers of vessels his obligations for the
efficient drill and organization which have
produced the reliable force composing the
Asatic feet
To those brave men now suffering from
their wounds he tenders his hearty sym
patty.
While rejoicing in the success achieved
by our arms, he expresses his profound sor.
row for the loss of those gallant men who
gave up their lives in indicating the hon
or of their flag.
While deploring their loss, let us pre-
serve the memory of their bravery
Among the houored dead whose loss we
deplore is Lieut.. Hugh w. Mckee, who,
calamity leading his men to the assault,
fell mortally wounded in the centre of the
citadel, which he was the 6rst to scale.
His memory is the more endeared to us
because we knew him, and his gailautry
will be cherished by all as a bright exam
pie to the service. JOHN RODGERS,
