14th. Spent the day reading the papers and writing letters. Wrote to Mr. Porter and Bails’ people. The whole north seems jubilant over the glorious successes, and becomingly ascribes the praise to God. All seem disposed to be lenient to the enemy, too, all but Davis. Salute fired. Four years today since the flag came down from Sumter.
