Sec. Manning Resigns
BUT Is,PERsUADED TO TARRY

The following correspondence between
Sec. MANNING and the President was
made public. 1t is understood that
MANNING will remain at the head Of the
Department until October:

me to accept fifteen months ago. Ny
reasons for this decision are both public
and personal. Since the partial recovery
OF my health has permitted me to reflect
upon the demands OF the public service,
to which / have given, perhaps too free,

The reforms in our fiscal policy, which
you have maintained, and which have
been framed and commended to the wis

writes as follows in regard to thesSoulh:
I'VE, in spite OF the issues OF slavery

frequently been in favor of war as thing
of business. To war they respond ss
the North responds to commerce. This
quality is of great value to nation, and

the South in the line OF magnificent
