I am extremely obliged to you for the attention given to the wants of this army, and the efforts made to supply them Our absentees are. returning and hope the earnest and beautiful ap peal made to. tne country jn your proclamation may stir iup the whole people, and that they may see their duty and pertorm lt.i JNotning is wanted but that their lortitude should equal their bravery, to insure the success oi our cause. Wo must expect reyerses,6ven defeats. They are sent to' teach us wisdom and prudence',' dcalffbitH greater eneiv gies, and to prevent pur ialhng into greater disasters. - Our people have only to be true and united, to bear manfully the mistortuiaes 'incident to . war, ancr alL wtl.Oorae ; right in the-end. I ::hh'y-- I; I know how prone we aro to cen su ro, and ihow ready to blame others tor the nont.uinimcnt oi our expec tations. This is unbecoming in a generous people, arid I grieve to see us expression. -. ne ercnerai remedy. for the want of success in a militan commander is. his removal. ' This is natural, and in many instances proper." For, no matter., what may bo the ability Of th! officer, if .he loses tho . confidence of his troops, disaster must sooner or la.ter ensue.

I have seen and heard of expressions of discontent in the public journals at the result.ot' tne expedition. I do not know how far tnis leelingGXienusjn fue army, my protijcr ymcers nave been too Kino o report it, aifcl so far.th'e troops have been too generous to exhibit it. I therefore in alf sinderity, request vour Excellency to take measures to supply my plj.ee I- do this with the more earnestness because ho One is iore awjare than myself of my ina bility 'for the duties of rity position. I cannot! even accomplish whit j I inyself desire. How can I fulfil the expectations of others? In addi Ition, I sensibly feel , the growing failure or my bodily strength.

( I am so dull -"''-1 hat' in.malcing usp of the eyes of others lam frequently mis led.' Everything therefore points to the advantages' to be derived from a new commander, . and I the ur ore anxiously Urge the matter upon your Excellency, from belief that, a 3oung cr and abler man than ' myself can readily- be. obtained. I know that he willjbakVe as gallant and brave ah army a, over existed to second his efforts and it would be the happiest day of my life to see at its head a worthy leader," one th'ut would accom plish more than I could perform, and all that I have, wished. I hope your Excel lency will attribute my request to the true reason, the desire to serve mv conntrv and to do all in mv power to. insure the success of her righteous, cause". I have no complaints to make of anybody but myself. I have received nothing but kindness, from those above me, and tho mo5t considerate attentions from . my comrades and companions in arms.
