Mr. Boutwell arrived at New York on the 2d of May, and wrote to Governor Andrew that evening:— I arrived here this afternoon, and I hope to report to you in person Saturday.

The impression I received from all, except perhaps Mr. Seward, was favorable to a vigorous prosecution of the war. Mr. Seward repeated his words of December and February, The crisis is over. It is, however, understood at Washington, that Mr. Seward favors vigorous measures. Mr. Chase says, that the policy of the Administration is vigorous and comprehensive, as sure to succeed in controlling the Rebellion, and preserving the whole territory of the Union. I will only say now, that I left Washington with a more favorable impression of the policy of the Government than I entertained when I left Boston. General Cameron agreed to authorize Mass

and proceeded to New York, under command of Colonel Marsh, with orders to report to Major-General Banks. It remained on Long Island for two or three weeks, awaiting transportation to New Orleans, where it arrived in safety in the latter part of December. The Forty-eighth Regiment was recruited at Camp Lander, at Wenham, by Hon. Eben F. Stone, of Newburyport. Before its organization was completed, it was ordered to Camp Meigs, at Readville.

Having encamped on the right bank of the Neuse River, very soon after its arrival two companies were detached from the regiment, and assigned to outpost duty at Newport Barracks, Captain Spooner taking command of the post. The regiment was occupied in perfecting itself in drill until the organization of the Goldsborough expedition in December, in which, and the engagements with the enemy that occurred in the successful movement, it took part; after which it returned to its old duties in camp until Jan. 23, 1863. The two detached companies rejoined the regiment; the drill continued; and, daily, large fatigue parties were detailed for the work of fortification, until March 13; the enemy began what seemed a determined attempt to repossess himself of Newbern, in resistance to which the Forty-sixth was assigned an honorable positi

Swann, Esq., secretary of the Union League Club in New-York City, inviting him to address the club at some convenient period during the month, which the Governor was forced to decline, on account of the official duties which then pressed upon him; besides, if it were possible for him to visit New York during the month of December, he was under obligations, having been honored with frequent invitations, to speak at the anniversary of the New-England Society, on the 22d of December. In the course of the letter, the Governor said,— I congratulate the gentlemen whom you represent, on the auspicious aspect with which the year seems about to open. Should our military situation continue to be as encouraging as it has recently been, I am sure that, with the blessing of Providence, we have a right to hope for the be
