These will stand hereafter, as they are now, objects of human wonder and human affection. You have seen, on the eve of your departure, the elasticity of the national spirit, the vigor of the national Government, and the lavish devotion of the national treasures to this great cause.

I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant, Wm. H. Seward. to William L. Dayton, Esq., &c. &c. --N. Y. Evening Post, May 6.
