Two Checks Mailed into IRS

I sent in a check without my voucher accidentally and had my bank cancel the check. I sent in another check before the due date with the voucher but just got a notice that I owed a penalty due to the first cancelled check. Is that correct? My second check was cashed. It was mailed prior to the deadline.

According to the following topic on the IRS web site, you can request to have the penalty removed. See "Stop Payments" at the bottom of the page.
