Bright and cold; ice
on the porch. All quiet below, save the booming of bombs every night from our
iron-clads, thrown at the workmen in the canal.
There is a dispatch
from the West, relating to Gen. Forrest's operations in Tennessee, understood
to be good news. I did not wait to see, knowing the papers will have it
to-morrow.
Mr. Hunter was with
Mr. Secretary Seddon, as usual, this Sunday morning, begging him not to resign.
This is flattery to Mr. Seddon.
