LETTER FROM CAPTAIN ERICSSON.
"New York, March 11
"My dear Sargent,—l accept with great .pleasure, your congratulations, and assure you that every exertion will be made on my part to furnish the nation with war vessels that will enable us to defy Europe. Give me only the requisite means, and in a very short time we can say to those powers now bent on destroying Republican freedom, ' Leave the Gulf with' your frail craft, or perish.' I have all my life asserted tbat mechanical science will put an end to tbe power of England over the seas. The ocean is Nature's highway between the nations. It should be free; and surely Nature's laws, when properly applied, will make it so. ' " Yours, very truly, "J. Ekicssojt." '■' To Epes Sargent, Esr;,, Boston.''
