heard cries of God bless them. And so along Broadway, and through Cortlandt-street, under its almost countless flags, the gallant Seventh Regiment left the City. The excitement in Jersey City, long before they had crossed the ferry, was scarcely less intense, and when they landed there, they found they were by no means in a foreign State. It seemed that all the people of the sister city had turned out. It was a reenaction of what their fellow-townsmen and townswomen had done for them. White handkerchiefs, waved by ladies' hands, were as numerous as the dog-wood blossoms in Spring, and it was proved that a Jerseyman can raise as hearty a cheer as the best New Yorker.

ntion was called, probably by Sumner, to the despatch of July 5, he expressed surprise, and disclaimed any knowledge of it,—a disclaimer which he subsequently repeated to Sumner. New York Tribune, March 2, 1863. There was a controversy between the New York Tribune and New York Times as to Seward's practice in submitting despatches to the President before they were sent. (New York Tribune, February 25, 26, and 28.) The articles in the Tribune, signed Truth and Courage, were written by James W. White, a member of the New York bar. The President stood firmly by the secretary, and the effort to displace him proved futile. It received a check in an unexpected quarter,—from one of the secretary's associates. Mr. Seward on hearing of it sent to the President his resignation before the senators had their interview with him; and Mr. Chase, who singularly enough saw fit to construe the terms of the request as including himself, took occasion also to resign.
