LETTER LROM MR. LINCOLN
I iinn heretofore unpublished let

interest, particularly by menbers of the . So

Gurney, the widow of the late well known
Friend and philanthropist, Joseph John Gur
ney; who was one of the wealthiest bankers
of London. Mrs. Gurney is an' American
lady ; and since her husband's death has re
sided in Burlington, New Jersey
My Esteemed Friend:--I have not for
gotten, probably never shall forget, the very
impressive occasion when yourself and friends
visited me on a Sabbath forenoon two years
ago. Nor has your kind letter, written near
ly a year later, ever been forgotten. In all
it has been your purpose to strengthen my
'reliance in Clod. I am much indebted to
the good Christian people of the country for
their Constant prayers and consolations, , and
to no one more than to yourself. The pur
poses of the Almighty ate perfect and must
prevail: though we erring mortals may fail
to accurately perceive them in advance, We
hoped fur a happy termination of this terri
ble war long before this, but God knows best,
and has ruled otherwise. - We shall yet ac
knowledge his wisdom and our own errors
therein; meanwhile we must work earnestly
in the best lights Be gives us, trusting that
•8_ kin g-s t Itcraninces - to — th cg ea t—ensis
he ordains. Surely he intends some great
good to follow this mighty convulsion,
which
no mortal could make, and no mortal could
stay.
rotir people—the Friends—bare had, and
are having very great trials, on principles
and faith opposed to both war and oppress
sion. They can only practically oppose op
pression by Wilif'l.l:l this
same hive Chosen one horn and some the oth.

For those appealing tb me on conscien

best I could and can.in my own conscience
untier my oath to the law. That you believe
this, I doubt not, and believing it., I shall re•

Foam It'istiza, jari. A: M.--After
a Careful reconnoissance - on the 14th it was
decided, to risk en assault on Fort Fisher:
Paine's division, with Ccd. Abbott's brigade,
were to !raid our line= already stfong, across
the peninsula and fa ' eing_ Wilmingtofi s it
r
o minst Hoke, while Ames' division should
assault on the west end 'of the land point,
and 400 marines and 1,600 sailors on the
east end. After three hours of a navy firei
the assault was made at 3:P. M. on the 15th'.
General Curtis' 'brigade 'led out tia soon
as it got orr the west end of the; • land front,‘
was followed by Pennybacker'S, and later by
Bell's. After deriptarater fighting. _ gaining-
Toot - by foot, an 4 severe loss s at 5 7 P, 31. we•
trad possession of about half the land point.
Abbott's• brigade was then takeir from our
line facing Wilmington, and put into Fort
Fisher, and in pushing it forward at 10 A.
M. it took the rest of the werks with little
resistance s the garrison falling bask to , the
extreme point of the peninsula, Where they
were followed and eteptiVel4 among them
General Whiting and Colonel Lamb ; both
wounded: I think we hove' quite• .1,000
prisoners:. I hope Mr own loss may not ex

the night: Among tire wounded are the
commanders of the , three leading brigade;
Gentrid Otirris being wounded, not severely,
but Colonels Permybaeker and Bell danger

the

and under a severe musketry fire.
The' marines and sai/ors went up galtent

of the land point was so severe that , they did

• The navy fire on , the work, judging from
